Mabis Digital Basal Thermometer

Customer Rating:
Summary: Just OK
Comment: This is the only basal thermometer that I own, so I can't compare it to other thermometers or vouch for its accuracy. It seems to do the trick. I have used it every morning for the past two months, and sometimes the beep sounds a little weak, like maybe the battery is starting to die already. It does not beep while it's in your mouth, so sometimes I wonder if it's even working if it takes a long time to reach a steady temp. It doesn't light up so you have to turn on a light or take it out of the room (if it's dark) to read it, which is kind of a pain. It comes with a clear storage case. Not bad, but I would buy one that lights up if I were to buy another.

Summary: Precise!
Comment: I love the fact that this little basal thermometer is to the 10th degree but wish that it had a back-light. It is hard in the mornings to see the display since you are to take your temperature as fast as you can and without much movement.

I like the memory feature but wish that was a second button on the unit. It displays TWO temperatures and I am not sure what the second temperature is all about. I am ASSUMING the first number with the "M" next to it is the memory recall of the last reading.

The button is flat and I find myself fiddling with it to activate the thermometer.

I like that you can get charts off the Mabis website...so that is a plus.

Overall it is a good BASIC basal thermometer. I would spend extra money to purchase one with a light, if there is one like that available.
