This product was shipped to me not in working order.
There is a small bubble in the glass that does not allow the “non-mercury” liquid to rise.
Waste of my time & money! Wish I could have given it ZERO stars!

You can use this thing the aptly way and it will not give you an accurate reading.
You can stick this in your mouth for minutes on end and it will not be accurate.
It is low-cost and a step backwards from the mercury thermometer. I have checked this thermometer (I checked two. Returned the initially one and bought a second one and guess what, the second was off by more!) against an expensive reference and it has come up small of my real temperature by as much as 1.5 degrees. I don’t know about you, but I want to be exact and know I have a fever. Would you trust your child’s shape to a low-cost, inaccurate thermometer?
I know I wouldn’t. Save your money and get a more expensive thermometer that is accurate.

1. It’s held to be oral? Then why is the shaft of the thermometer so small? You’ll be lucky if it reaches your frenulum.
2. It’s hard to shake it down so that it goes below 98.6. We were never able to achieve this: is that because the thermometer is filled with a mercury substitute?
3. We used it for weeks before we accidentally figured out how to get the casing off.

I bought this thermometer because it was advertised as mercury free & the price was aptly. I like the accuracy & consistency of the glass & mercury (hg) ones, and I plotting this would be a surpass option for safety reasons, since we have 3 young children. Aptly now, I am pleased we did! Just this evening, my daughter got ahold of it and tried to imitate me shaking it–aptly up against the kitchen counter! (Kids get their hands on things–that’s why we don’t own a gun!)
Glass and (whatever the faux mercury is) went everywhere on our hardwood floors! When the silver stuff lands, it tends to stay in small splashy puddles. **Tip: Do yourself a favor, and pinch it up rather than wipe it–it will smear if you do this, and although it will come up after being smeared, it’s a bit harder to clean up once it dries. It’s sort of like gold leaf that you use with crafts when smeared.
Is the temperature aptly on the money? Who knows–At this very moment, I’m not worried that my children have mercury poisoning!
If you’re not sick, take your temperature. If it reads 98.6 or whatever your healthy temperature may be (some people vary)then it works. If it reads a couple of degrees higher, then make the adjustment when you use it–like you would if you took your childs temp under the arm. Mine was extremely accurate–while it lasted!

My daughter was burning up with fever, yet this registered a temperature of 96 degrees. I took it twice, then I held it up near a lightbulb and it never changed. Defective product.
