Not worth the trouble November 27, 2008

I purchased this when my daughter was born and it worked perfectly for about 6 months. It was accurate and dependable. The battery died and they are not replaceable! I ordered another one on Amazon and couldn't wait to get it. I received it and the new one didn't even come on, battery was dead. I returned it and exchanged it for another one figuring must be some fluke. The next one I received was dead too! I sent it back for a refund and bought a new tub with temperature strip right in it. Perfect! Great little item if it worked but not worth the trouble and you don't know how long it is going to last you?
 Useful Little Toy. November 18, 2008
Gary Peterson (San Diego, California USA)
My wife picked up this little floating thermometer for our baby's bath. The attempt was to get and keep the temperature just right and to serve as a cutsie-poo toy that might interest the baby. So far, he's shown no interest in the toy aspect, but it has worked well with the temperature part.
The colorful little floating turtle can be turned on or off and gives a digital temperature readout. In addition, it has three little colored lights, or actually, one light with three colors: Yellow is too cool, green is just right and red is too hot. We keep the water running throughout the bath and rely on the colored light scheme for temperature control. It has worked very well.
We've only had the thermometer for a month and it has performed flawlessly. I'm surprised at the many negative reports. We've had no problems. I hope ours continues to perform well. I'd give it 4 stars from our experience.

 Cute but USELESS April 30, 2008
S. Downes (Yokota AB, Japan)
I bought this before my son was born so my husband would know if the bath water was too hot. I got ONE WEEK of use out of this before it quit working. The display area was full of condensation and failed to turn on. I decided to pull the thermostat portion out and use it for a tub toy once my son is older. DO NOT BUY THIS....IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!
3rd times a charm?? No, didn't work that time either! April 30, 2008
Lilli's Momma
The 1st one we had worked for about 2 months, then the 2nd didn't work when we brought it home, and the 3rd didn't have working light indicators.
Surprised that so many people had problems... February 25, 2008

We've been using this thermometer daily for over a year now, and with absolutely no trouble. My son uses it as a toy as well as it being very useful for keeping the water at the right temp. My only complaint is that I wish the temps weren't spaced 2 degrees apart (93, 95, 97...) Overall it is definitely worth every penny!
