This review is from: Philips AVENT SCH550/20 Bath and Room Thermometer (Baby Product)
This bath thermometer really works well.
Our baby either loves or hates his bath, purely depending on whether the water temperature is right or not.
Unlike many other thermometers, this one digitally displays the temperature, rather than by means of a colour strip. The thermometer refreshes quickly, (about 1 sec) so is good for checking water temperature when mixing. The rubber casing means it is virtually unbreakable and can be left floating in the water whilst bathing.
The design allows the thermometer to sit upright on a shelf or table which means that it can also double as a room thermometer when not being used for bathing.

This review is from: Philips AVENT SCH550/20 Bath and Room Thermometer (Baby Product)
We have three thermometers at home for our little boy, a Grobag egg, one built into the baby monitor and this Philips one. But it is this Philips one I like the best.
The Philips thermometer consists of a good, no-nonsense easily read LCD display showing the temperature. The display is covered with a little plastic circle – which looks like it could scratch – but ours hasn’t despite some real rough handling. This is mounted into a good tough rubber flower — not too soft and not too hard. We’re happy to let our little boy chew away on it now that he’s teeting. In fact he quite likes playing with it. It gets dropped and thrown but is still going strong and has not discoloured or anything.
It seems fully waterproof to test the bath temperature (and is handily marked 37C to remind you want the temperature should be). It is also free-standing for use as a room thermometer. We also threw it in our bags for holiday without worry and used it to check the pool temperature.
It seems pretty acurate, I trust it, and it changes its reading quickly.
On of the benefits of this one is that it is battery powered, so no having to move leads around like the Grobag one. It goes from room to room with us when necessary. Not sure how long the battery lasts, but some friends have had theirs for four years without having to replace it.
We’ve now had ours for a year, and all in all, I’d highly recommend it.

Would agree with previous comments that takes a while to get a reading and does flop over. But having bought two of these now I do like them…..but both have misted over so can no longer read the display!
