Just got mine from the Meh-ration yesterday. Played with it a bit. Either it or my hot water dispenser is off by 40 deg F. Forehead temp worked fine though.
@shampshire I don’t think your skin is at your core body temperature, so these things have to be doing some kind of extrapolation from one to the other. I’ve always wondered how reliable they are. Like, do they have to make a bunch of assumptions that may not always be true?
Already have something similar- HIGHLY INACCURATE. Have to take a dozen or so readings, then average them… Stopped working entirely, so they sent a new one- just as inaccurate. I miss the old glass thermometers; reading only took a minute or two, and were spot on.
At least this one is slightly less gun-shaped than others. Always wondered why so many mfrs. chose to design them that way rather than, say, just a straight slab or rod with an emitter on the end, like a remote-control or flashlight sort of form-factor. Feels weird to have someone basically fire a (very low-powered) laser gun at my head just to take my temperature.
@customers If you’re liking your thermometer and realizing you could use a few of 'em, we just dropped the price back down to the $10 Meh level for the Homedics thermometer over on SideDeal for a day or two. Feel free to stock up, I don’t know if this one’s going to be back on Meh again.

The old Meh would sale a digital thermometer for the other end. I miss the old Meh.
@hchavers Why would I need to measure my foot temperature?
@hchavers I’m down for a digital exam.
@fuzzmanmatt I prefer analog. It’s warmer.
@hchavers “Sell.”

Home Dics? Ho Medics? Excuse me please?
@awk That’s like a Celebrity Jeopardy question. “I’ll take Home Dicks for $200” “That’s Homedics Mr. Connery” “Not according to your Mother!”
@awk @Fuzzalini Tomorrow’s item for sale will be “The Penis Mightier”

If it’s not for the ass, for me it’s a pass.
@ShotgunX I’ll bet you can get it all up in there if you try.
Where the rectal version?
@SputnikHQ you can use the ear insert and get the rectal temperature. Just don’t switch back and forth without cleaning.
The inventor cited in the writeup is named Clifford ALLBUTT… I don’t think there’s any doubt where those old thermometers were going.
Almost got it during the Mehrathon…glad I waited

@llangley Hahaha, I know that cow!
Is the accuracy affected by global warming? How can I be sure?

I have not received the thermometer nor the bidet, you say that they were delivered but I have not gotten them.
