Safety 1st ACCU-R.A.T.E. Forehead and Underarm Thermometer Order Now


I have had this thermometer for a year, and have relied on it to tell me if my 1-2 year old had a fever whenever she felt warm. It never registered anything unusually high, and I figured for the higher price, it should be pretty reliable.

It wasn't until just recently, when my 2 year old daughter had a 103 fever, that I discovered that this thermometer is terribly inaccurate. Repeatedly, it would report that her temperature is 97,98,99, when a rectal thermometer, color changing strip, and just the touch of my hand would tell me her temp was really 103. I tried it on myself, and it said I was the same temperature as her! I tried it in multiple locations on both our temples, and the battery level is fine, but it still gives terribly inaccurate readings.

Save yourself trouble and try a different brand or method.Get more detail about Safety 1st ACCU-R.A.T.E. Forehead and Underarm Thermometer.

Non-Contact Handheld Infrared Thermometer w/LCD Display - Perfect for Checking Temperature of Engine, Tires & More! Decide Now


This Handheld Infrared Thermometer works OK, but with one limitation - the accuracy is not within its supposed tolerance of (+- 3F) or (2%) reading. My temperature readings on non-metal surfaces were consistantly off (read too high) by (4),(5), or even more degrees (Fahrenheit). On the lower scale towards freezing temperatures, the temperature readings were even worse. All of my test temperature measurements were taken while I was positioned within the best distance-to-spot size ratio and field-of-view. Everything else about the Handheld Infrared Thermometer is good. Perfect weight and the LCD blue backlight display is really nice. The red laser can be turned on or off to further conserve battery life.

After you press the trigger, the device turns on and your temperature readings will show up on the lighted display for as long as you keep your finger on the trigger. After releasing the trigger, (5) seconds later the lighted LCD display will shut off. After 10 seconds if no further trigger action is used, the device will shut off completely. I like the idea that the display stays lit while you are pressing the trigger. This allows you to see multiple temperature readings or variations in low lit or dark areas.

Other thoughts: The 9V battery comes already installed (wrapped in cellophane) in the device. Just remember to open up (slide open) the battery compartment and remove the battey cellophane wrapping and re-insert observing proper polarity. Othrwise you will think that the Handheld Thermometer is not functioning when you first get the device and press the trigger.

You get what you pay for. For just checking average (ball park) temperatures this would be OK. I wouldn't use it for anything else requiring accuracy. Also remember, when using Non-Contact Infrared Thermometers to measure temperatures on metal surfaces or glass, your readings will turn out to be the most inaccurate. Materials that are highly reflective such as metal or glass will yield innaccurate results. If you do measure temperatures on metal or glass and you require more accuracy, put masking tape on an area, then take your measurements off of the taped area - if temperatures permit (not too high as to burn the tape). Measurements on everything else non-metal or glass should be within an acceptable range. Your device's accuracy may vary (better or worse).

Discount Bed Wetting Alarm-Female, Nite Trainer-Dual Volume CTR - 1 ea


After listening to everyone's advise on how to get my 51/2 through the night without wetting we finally bought the "CONTRAPTION". That's how we refer to it with my daughter. She had been potty trained since 2 however night time was always a challenge She would go 3 to 4 night dry and then she would wet again. We started using the alarm 3 weeks ago and the thing is so sensitive that it only takes a drop to set it off. We both get up I put her on the potty and she goes. Then I leave it off for the rest of the night accident free. She has now gone almost a week without setting off the alarm. Hallaluah!! Goodbye to Pullups!!Get more detail about Bed Wetting Alarm-Female, Nite Trainer-Dual Volume CTR - 1 ea.

Cheap Suunto Advizor Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Barometer, Compass, Altimeter, and Chronograph


Pros:

1. Great watch with a TON of features. Not many compass, altimeter, barometer combo watches also come with a heart rate monitor. That's impressive.

2. This is one of the best styled watches I've ever owned.

3. Very comfortable and easy wearing band.

Cons:

1. Suunto Watches have terrible function navigation. There is no intuitive function design to these watches.

2. I use a stopwatch often and the stopwatch function can only be accessed through another function - which was a big negative for me causing me to give the watch away to a friend.

Order LifeSource Compact Precision Scale


I have small-ish feet (size 7) and they hang off when I stand on it, but it doesn't seem to matter; weight seems consistent (if a few pounds more than the one I have at home). The scale IS small like an 8.5"x11" piece of paper, but it's thicker and heavier than I expected. Still, if you need a small form factor for travel or a small bathroom, this one is GOOD! Very nice precision of weight to small increments makes fluctuations easy to track. And, it comes with optional feet to put on if you need to use it on carpeting.

Where To Buy Biggest Loser 5738BL Body Fat-Body Water Scale


My wife purchased the scale for us both to use. After reading the manual (RTM), we programmed it for each of us, and it seems to work well. The body fat/water content is, well, I think we all know how accurate BMI type calculations are. My only problem with it is that my wife is "P1" and I'm "P2", which means....wait for it....that I.... have to push the button twice with my toe, instead of once.Get more detail about Biggest Loser 5738BL Body Fat-Body Water Scale.
