However in November last year our little boy got sick, this was the start of our unravel with your thermometers. We are away from home. I’m still getting an error message.
V900G It is shocking and disgusting that this product is still on shelves.
Click on an alphabet below to see the full list of models starting with that letter: Purchased to use on my new baby & its terrifying that he could be sick & I might doubt myself because of this terrible product.
Terrible!!
My child was lying on their back and one side read 36.5 and the other 38.2! User manuals, Vicks Thermometer Operating guides and Service manuals. We had to call an ambulance as our three year old was struggling for air due to croup. Will use 3 times in a row, exactly the same position & get 3 vastly different results. An ambulance arrived within 5 minutes and immediately tested his temperature - 38.8. However the inaccuracy of readings continued.
Not reliable at all and therefore can cause serious harm.If I could give it 0 stars I would, dangerous product, my son had a temp of 38.3 and this product was giving a reading of 36.1, would not recommend the purchaseVery very inaccurate readings.
Should be taken off the market., it’s dangerous. My previous Vicks thermometer took 20 seconds to read, and I thought that was fabulously fast. Never have I used a more useless thermometer.
Take it off the shelves! Forehead temp has never been high when under tongue has been.
It gives very inaccurate readings. It varies by 1.5 degrees and the reading is different every time. And if you have, I'm sorry you'll endure the same pain as we did.Disgusting this is still being sold.
Tried to return it to Chemist Warehouse but of course the store temperature is regulated and it works.Inaccurate reading every time. Again your thermometers told us his temp was 36.9. At first we thought they were great.
I need a thermometer that works.
Which I'm clearly not. View the Vicks SpeedRead V912F manual for free or ask your question to other Vicks SpeedRead V912F owners.
Thanks Vicks for creating a product that does not do it’s intended purpose - what a scam!Received two completely different readings when scanning from the middle of the forehead to the right side of the head and scanning from the middle again to the left side.
