Product Reviews of FairHaven Digital Basal Thermometer
Product Review: Average Thermometer
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this thermometer is about average. There are definitely better ones on the market and there are certainly worse ones out there too.
Pros:
-Beeps every time you do something, which is good for taking your temp in the morning when you are barely awake
-Has a recall feature, though it is hard to push that little button long enough to see it.
-Has a cute little pink end, which deters your husband from stealing it off your nightstand.
-You can print additional temperature charts (it comes with one) for free from the manufacturers website.
Cons:
-It reads about 1.5 degrees higher than both of my other thermometers (I bought it because of the additional decimal place in the display -- easier to detect slight changes)
-The probe is REALLY thin, and I feel like I can snap it off with my tongue.
-It takes longer than other digital thermometers that I have used. I don't necessarily equate taking longer to read with being more accurate, so I'm going to go ahead and mark that down as a negative.
Overall, I'd say that you can get about the same product for a couple of dollars cheaper by going with another thermometer. Amazon does group this one in with some pregnancy tests and ovulation predictors, so maybe that's enough to make you buy it. (Hey, that worked for me.)
Product Review: BBT Thermometer
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe the BBT Thermometer is fairly accurate with the only downfalls being, it takes awhile to get your final temp and there is not backlight. So you need to turn on the lights to see your results. Other than that, I believe its a great thermometer.Product Review: Basic
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a basic thermometer. It beeps when it's ready to be read, but it does not have a light. I would recommend getting a thermometer with a light...if you can find one. It's much easier, I had one several yrs. ago.
Basal Body thermometers are hard to find anymore; many drugstores don't carry them. That's why I ordered this one on-line. I wanted it right away, so I didn't pay much attention to the features. All of the product features are as indicated from the maker.
Product Review: Batteries are no good
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this thermometer and it only lasted for 23 days before the low battery indicator came on. I used it for about 1 week to 2 weeks after that and then it barely turned on and was so weak I couldn't trust the temp reading anymore. I gave it a lower rating because of this.
The memory recall feature is nice, but it really does flash by way to quickly for my liking. There has been several times where I would have to turn it off and back on again to see the reading because I missed it.
It is sturdy and not easily breakable. I also like how it has a pink end to it. In the end, I would recommend a different product then this one because of the short battery span. Its just to much money to spend on something that can barely last a month. If it wasn't for that then I would consider it a good thermometer.
Product Review: Better options available
Summary: 1 Stars
No backlight and the one I received was too sensitive. ANY motion (like breathing) screwed up the reading and it takes 2 minutes to get a reading. Try something else!
