Works well but has potential safety issues, 3 Dec. 2014

It's cute and it measures the temperature of the bath which is what I bought it for, but I do however have a couple of issues with it.

It tends to float on one side, which gives a false temperature reading. In order to get an accurate you have to ensure that the bottom of the duck makes contact with the water as this is where the temperature probe is located. I have had a result of 36 degrees shoot up to well over 40 degrees several times after noticing that this has happened. Keep this in mind otherwise you may end up with an injured child or loved one.

An easy fix would be sticking a piece of Sugru to the bottom of the duck, which has lowered the centre of gravity of mine and has enabled it to float with the temperature probe submerged.

I have tested this alongside two other thermometers which I own and I get a consistent result using this thermometer, I am therefore happy that mine is accurate, however there may very well be some manufacturing...

It does what it's says!!, 24 Sept. 2013

Very good finish, it's accurate, (I work in a meteorology Lab so the fist thing I did when I received it was test the accuracy!) and it's quick enough to stabilize the reading.

Great little product for bath times, 16 July 2014

Great little product for bath times, Stick it the bath and it tells you if you are getting to the comfy 36deg baby likes. I gave it a 4 not a 5 because I have had a bit of trouble getting it to turn on lately so when I first got it it touched the water and told me the temperature whereas after two months it takes a bit of "shaking" to get fired up. But then for the price it is still good value and my baby likes looking at it!
