This is the fastest, most accurate thermometer I've found over the past year, way better than those "no contact" ones which only measure skin temperature and can lie.

$7.50 each is fantastic good deal, though not sure if people really need two unless maybe you want one for home/office or car, etc.

Other deals you can use for the $5 instead of two

That's gross bro
Skin temp does not equal body temp. All of them have to use a step-up formula to estimate. Same with any temple/forehead thermometer.

Rectal followed by oral are still the most "purely accurate" without the need for conversion.

What's the difference between this and the Vicks ComfortFlex Digital Thermometer?

Had to go check and I have the exact same one. Thought it looked familiar. Still works but thankfully haven't needed it for anyone. Good deal.

they are identical except the comfortflex has a bendy probe side

you can still use the comfortflex for mouth readings but I don't think it's on sale

btw walmart has cheap probe covers so you don't have to sterilize these, at one point a 100 pack was like $5

yeah here they are though they raised the price, I don't think amazon has a cheap copy https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate.../764847358

Ok Thanks. I did pick up two from your deal. One to give to a family member.

If the "no contact" thermometers read skin temperature how do they lie?

In for 2 - Thanks OP. With Covid around, I feel better about having multiple thermometers. Plus its HSA eligible so I can get reimbursed!

I bought this thermometer back when I didn't want to pay over $40 for a Braun thermometer. This would give me different readings in the same sitting, ranging from the mid-97s to mid-99s. It's a decent deal if you don't mind a big margin of error.

interesting, this was the only one that would actually be the same as my "mercury" thermometer, I had two other digitals that seemed to make up numbers
