About Welch Allyn 01690-200 SureTemp Plus Model 690 Electronic Thermometer
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
90% praised for its accurate readings, but 10% questioned its reliability
I ran my own tests to compare the accuracy of this thermometer with a mercury thermometer and found it to be unquestionably accurate.
I tried for two days to get an accurate temperature, but it kept reading around 1-2 degrees high.
I find the thermometer unreliable.
83% liked its long battery life, but 17% experienced short battery life
The Sure Temp Plus 690 is accurate, easy to use and AA batteries can be purchased anywhere, despite being more expensive.
The product worked fine for 10 months, but suddenly started showing monitor errors.
81% liked its comfortable design, but 19% found it uncomfortable
I don't have to second guess the reading like I did with the cheap ones.
I have bought thermometers in the past that were not reliable and had no accuracy.
81% found it easy to use, but 19% had difficulties
The Sure Temp Plus 690 is easy to use and accurate. It also uses AA batteries which can be easily found anywhere.
I wish I had bought this thermometer years ago because it makes taking temperatures easy, accurate, repeatable, and fast.
I had a little bit of a learning curve while using the thermometer and the manual was not very clear about how to assemble the unit. However, it was easy once I figured it out.
My only complaint is that the probe comes off easily and the thermometer keeps beeping.
72% like the perfect size, but 28% found it heavy
I need this thermometer to monitor my temperature constantly due to temperature spikes that send me to the ER. The old store-bought thermometers were never right.
