Quite predictably, I bought this thermometer during an ill spell last year. I must say that it did its job well. After reading the instruction leaflet, I placed the tip under my tongue and pressed the single button on the device.

The Omron Flex Temp II is such a thermometer. Reasonably priced, at around £9, it offers an easy to read LCD screen, alarm to indicate when the temperature can be read, and a memory of the last temperature taken. The Flex Temp II looks quite neat and ...  Read the complete review
