Classic Thermometer

These medical grade thermometers are consistently accurate, unlike many digital thermometers.If you are reading this then it’s highly likely you already know Geratherm are world class manufacturers of medical grade thermometers. No one beats Geratherm, a German company with meticulous attention to detail in everything they produce.“Speed Merchant” is the specific seller on Amazon that I bought from because I took the time to do my research and establish SM only sells GENUINE Geratherm thermometers.I am absolutely delighted with the thermometer and “Speed Merchant” earned its name by delivering to me from stock within just a day!Thank you ‘Speed Merchant’ and Geratherm.

The first order arrived broken thanks to Royal Mail but the seller quickly replaced it and I'm very pleased with the product. It works very well and is easy to use. I did think twice about buying it as there were so many people who wrote that they could not shake the fluid down. 1. There's a plastic holder supplied that helps to do this and 2. you have to read the thermometer holding it straight and not tilted away as in doing so this shows a blue line that is not the temperature reading. Just takes four minutes to take a temperature when held under the tongue . No batteries to worry about running out.

I bought this because traditional thermometers are preferred but I didnt want the mercury version, so this seemed the right choice. First impressions are that it is well made, but the method of resetting the reading is a real pain. You have to put it in a special container and then flick or shake it very hard. This will cause the mercury-replacement metal to go back down to into the reservoir at the bottom of the thermometer. It also takes a while to show the correct temperature, at least 10 mins for me. The line is also difficult to see unless you hold the thermometer in the right angle. However, the positives are that it doesnt need batteries, it is more accurate than electronic versions and is not dangerous if shattered. One more thing, if you think the outer glass has a scratch on it next to one of the numbers, it is intentional, perhaps to help you see the temperature, it is not a defect.

Do not buy. Left under my tongue for 7 mins and temperature did not move. Yet I am in good health.Of course I could be using it wrong but as the instructions are only in German, Dutch, Italian and French - no English - it's hard to tell.

Nice brand, I have ones, but I damaged and I bought the second time the same brand because I love it

Excellent quality

This was an excellent thermometer for the week I had it. Then silly old me whacked it on my desk and shattered the whole thing, splattering silver liquid all over the room. Argh! Glad it’s non toxic but it did make a mess which was VERY difficult to clean up. Every time I cleaned it up it would reappear after a few hours. Had to repeat cleaning of my whole room about 5-6 times.It’s easy to use without the need for batteries and takes an accurate reading, although you do need to be patient as it takes a few minutes (3-4 mins is best). It’s handy that it comes with the plastic shaking tool as I found it hard to shake the liquid down by hand without hurting my wrist.I’ve opted for the Geratherm digital as I don’t want to break another one. The digital is just as good without the hassle of shaking it or breaking it! Will just have to replace the battery eventually, but that’s a fine compromise.

This is still the most reliable way to take your loved ones' temperatures!Having researched 30+ digital options that takes the temperature from the forehead or the ear, my conclusion was that I cannot trust any of them! They all seemed to be sold by different companies when in reality they all shared the same manufacturer in China! And all of the higher reviewed ones had shady reviews by non-Amazon-verified customers. The true reviews all seemed to say that the digital ones are widely inaccurate.All of the negative reviews associated with this product has nothing to do with its accuracy. Rather, it has to do with the customers not being able to reset the thermometer. I never had a problem with resetting it, and you probably won't either.This product simply works!
