Working six times faster than standard thermometers, the Vicks 911 model completes a temperature reading in only ten seconds. Like Vicks? other models, it beeps when done, and offers professional accuracy to within +/? 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit. A memory function allows comparison between the current and previous reading. Mercury-free and with no glass to worry about, this digital thermometer makes a safe thermometer for the whole family. Because the thermometer can be used orally, rectally, or under the arm, five disposable probe covers are included to help prevent contamination between family members (more covers can be purchased in pharmacies). Waterproof for easy cleaning with soap and water or rubbing alcohol, the thermometer measures 1 by 5-1/4 inches, and includes a battery, clear protective case with lid, and a lifetime warranty. –Ann Bieri

Inaccurate. Inconsistent.
Though quick to give a reading, this thermometer is useless. It typically reads one to two degrees low and can give different readings just moments apart.

Never Accurate!
I bought two of these, and they were off by 2 degrees! And then one died all together within the first week. What a waste of money!

I thought this was really cool at first. Used it about 10-15 times and it stopped working. Got it for $10 at Target. Wish I could take it back.

Good Initially
Documentation was poor as we needed to change the display from Fahrenheit to Celcius. We finally decided to search the Internet to find the answer.

Inaccuracies make it useless
This thermometer always gives readings around 96.5 to 97.5 degrees. As such, it is not a usable product. I am going to replace it, hopefully finding something that is accurate.
