GERATHERM classic clinical thermometer analogue/thermometer without mercury/analogue clinical thermometer without batteries/thermometer Made in Germany

Nice brand, I have ones, but I damaged and I bought the second time the same brand because I love it

Excellent quality

Bought this for Mum, who is deaf and cannot hear the beep of modern digital thermometers so she wanted a "traditional" thermometer.She loves it BUT could not get it to reset, as others have commented.After extensive internet research (!) I found a YouTube video called "How to Easily Reset Oral Thermometer Help Tutorial Shake Shaking Tutorial Instructions Guide", this advised putting it in a sock and whizzing it round quickly, like a homemade centrifuge. To my delight this method does work, and even Mum can do it with her arthritic shoulder.Therefore I am giving 4 stars, the deduction being because of all the research I had to do because it did not come with an instruction manual.I gather the liquid is gallium rather than the traditional (toxic) mercury. Just thought that was interesting!

These medical grade thermometers are consistently accurate, unlike many digital thermometers.If you are reading this then it’s highly likely you already know Geratherm are world class manufacturers of medical grade thermometers. No one beats Geratherm, a German company with meticulous attention to detail in everything they produce.“Speed Merchant” is the specific seller on Amazon that I bought from because I took the time to do my research and establish SM only sells GENUINE Geratherm thermometers.I am absolutely delighted with the thermometer and “Speed Merchant” earned its name by delivering to me from stock within just a day!Thank you ‘Speed Merchant’ and Geratherm.

I'd read the other reviews about this product but wondered if perhaps those who'd bought it were younger than me and perhaps weren't familiar with the way an old mercury thermometer worked - in as much as you have to keep it in your mouth several minutes to make it function, whereas with the newer digital ones, they're almost instant.However, I was wrong. This product is a joke, it's a con. DO NOT BUY IT.I finally got the quasi-mercury to move but hardly at all - I had it in my mouth over SIX minutes in the end in order to TRY to make it work but it just doesn't. Apparently I am dead (according to this thermometer!!)There is NO COMPARISON between THIS nonsense and the old mercury thermometer which never failed me once. So do not be fooled.I won't ask for a refund as I'd have to send it back and I just can't be bothered, it will just go in the bin - and I suppose the company selling it rely on the fact that it's so cheap that very few people will bother to send it back but seriously, seriously... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. It doesn't work.On top of all of the above, it's HUGE. By comparison to the old mercury thermometer (which, after all, it pretends to mimic), which was a tubular shape and fitted very easily and comfortably into one's mouth - this has a large oval/rectangle shaped barrel which is both uncomfortable and almost makes you gag.DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. PRODUCT!!!

Quality value for money

This is still the most reliable way to take your loved ones' temperatures!Having researched 30+ digital options that takes the temperature from the forehead or the ear, my conclusion was that I cannot trust any of them! They all seemed to be sold by different companies when in reality they all shared the same manufacturer in China! And all of the higher reviewed ones had shady reviews by non-Amazon-verified customers. The true reviews all seemed to say that the digital ones are widely inaccurate.All of the negative reviews associated with this product has nothing to do with its accuracy. Rather, it has to do with the customers not being able to reset the thermometer. I never had a problem with resetting it, and you probably won't either.This product simply works!

I typed to search for a mercury thermometer, and this was described as a classic thermometer. It is a liquid metal thermometer, but NOT a mercury thermometer. It is extreemly slow to respond. The shape of the glass outer enclosure makes it want to be ejected from your mouth. It is more difficult to shake down as well, but that is not realy a problem. I was disapointed with its ease of use overall, however its accuracy is excellent
