Title: Very frustrating - highly inconsistent results
Review: I wish there was an easy way to consistently and accurately measure a repeatable body temperature, but the old methods seem best. This one is fantastic to play with, a joy to use and read... until you do it more than once in a row and find you could do better by just guessing. Everyone in our family measures between 96.8 and 97.8 degrees when not ill, but if you take 3 or 4 readings in a row, you'll find at least one 96.<low> outlier in there - so *mine* always reads about a degree low, and has a +/-1 degree swing for any single measurement. I've read all the instructions, cleaned it, replaced batteries, even invented new techniques to try to minimize the inconsistencies but nothing really works. I'm just talking about measuring the temp when not sick, not sweating, just to get a baseline. I can never trust it and usually wind up measuring about 20 times and mentally guessing the average to report to the doc when calling in. Oh well.
Is the review positive or negative?
