 Battery dead after 8 weeks, irreplaceableJun 28, 2010
It is a nice thermometer and worked fine, but given the battery is not replaceable, it's not worth to buy it.
Ours lasted about 8 weeks. Additionally, the glass window started to steam up after 6 weeks. (may be that was the root cause, but anyways, a bath thermometer should be sealed properly.)
Works great as long as the batteries do.May 10, 2010
We used this almost daily for over 2 years. It is easy to read and use and my son has loved it as a bath toy also. It is durable and well constructed, but the batteries cannot be replaced. The first sign if the batteries going dead is the green light will cease to function. (It actually still works, but is so dim as to be useless.), then the yellow, then the red, then about two weeks later it is completely dead. We are having a hard time without it, as the other backup thermometer we have is a chemical strip and very hard to read. I would recommend buying this from a brick and mortar storefront, just because if it has been sitting around for a while and the batteries are dying/dead you can easily exchange it. If the batteries were replaceable it would have gotten 5 stars with a doubt. I do understand though, that it is difficult to make a safe and reliable electronic item that is designed to be fully submersible.

Utterly useless- buy only if you want a plastic turtleApr 02, 2009
Worked for a couple of weeks then, as per numerous other reviews, the battery ran out. Unless you read the small print on the package, you would not know it is "non user servicable". It's a disgrace that a company can make such a product. Don't buy.

Not worth the troubleNov 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.Nov 18, 2008
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.
