Measuring speed / accuracy TOP / Miscellaneous Details FLOP

I own this thermometer since about 2011, and am absolutely delighted with the measurement speed and accuracy. Especially when I'm sick, I like Mass every half hour fever, which hereby so beautifully done quickly and accurately.

But also to the many details the weaknesses so you notice over time:

1. power button broken:
The button is foiled and below is the actual switch. Since the film is very thin and not very flexible, it is broken after 2 years and thus water from entering the thermometer if you are not careful.

2. switch C / F °
Actually great that you can switch here but that's so easy that you very often inadvertently makes (on thermometer, then you do it within 2 seconds of it because you do not want to measure and presents to ° F to).

3. beeping very quiet
One annoyance in many thermometers, unfortunately, in this - the signal is very very quiet and therefore difficult to hear

4. The rubber tip
Is indeed a feature and some may find this good, I do not! Reasons are that they bend easily and remains partially slightly curved. I also find rather difficult by the introduction and last but not least can be the rubber harder clean / wipe the plastic

Conclusion:
The best thermometer when it comes to measuring speed / accuracy and for itself 5 star. However, I have to deduct because of the numerous weaknesses Details 2 stars. If these fixed it would be the best thermometer on the market. I have found an alternative that quickly just crap and the other shortcomings did not, unfortunately, it's not quite as accurate as this.
