good thermometer
This basal thermometer is good. It takes awhile to get the reading, but is accurate and allows great prediction of ovulation.
Frustrating basal thermometer
This thermometer does not seem to be well made. Although it is supposed to beep regularly until the triple beep at the end, many times it does not do so (either the regular beeping or the triple beep), so you have no idea if it is working. When it does beep, it makes a sound like it is shorting out. The beep is also extremely loud (when it does work) - loud enough to wake up my husband, who has no problem sleeping through the baby's cries. As another reviewer mentioned, the light display can be frustrating as well and it's easy to lose the temperature if you don't write it down the first time you check it. I would not buy Basal Digital Thermometer again or recommend it to others in search of a reliable bbt.
accurate and reliable
This is a good digital thermometer. I measure my basal temperature every morning, and it is very simple and easy to read. I recommend it.
Still on the fence
I got this thermometer last week and I'm still not sure how I like it. It does do the beeping thing as stated but what I don't like is its easy to delete the last temperature reading. After it beeps that its done, it doesn't light up so I have to turn it on again to look at the temp. Then later, if I didn't write it down, I'm screwed because its now deleted since I had to turn it on to view it the first time. It seems to only hold the last temp until you turn it on again. Problem is....you have to turn it on to view it the first time! Also, as with all digital thermometers, I really don't like how its designed. Hard to keep a top-heavy thermometer in place without holding it. Kind of annoying, but like I said, thats with all digital therm's. ... Read More
Just OK
While this BDT Thermometer works fine as far as taking temperatures, mine doesn't make a sound. It is too cheap of an item to return since the shipping costs to AMAZON would make them lose money on the deal.
It takes temperatures but because the "beeps" don't beep, you have to be careful to take your temperature correctly.
My second complaint is that all of the documentation provided with the product talks exclusively about female ovulation. While that is the major reason people buy this type of thermometer, it isn't the only reason.
Since I am a 61 year old man, I could care less about ovulation unless I had a girlfriend who was young enough to concieve. Even then I wouldn't care since my wife would kill me anyway . What ... Read More
