Why so many negative reviews?

I noticed that too. We have this exact thermometer and at first we really liked it and believed it was accurate. However, my daughter had a fever once and 2 other thermometers we had said 100.4 F and 100.6 F and the Vicks SpeedRead said 98.1 F. So, I don’t think it’s very accurate. Unreliable!

When it says low on it does this indicates the battery is low?

It's amazing how many people make this comment and it's not true. A little bit of reading or a simple search shows it's the air temp and not battery condition. Press at the On button. When the self-test is done in a couple seconds, display says "Lo." Stick it under your tongue and you bet a beep in 6-7 seconds with y9ur temp.

where is the vicks V912 thermometer manufactured?

Thank you for your inquiry. This thermometer was manufactured in China. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

I used 3 & the others were .2 degrees apart, this read 1 degree higher. Does it read high?

If you are getting a reading that is a full 1 degree different from THREE others, I'd say return it. Get another brand. Can't tell if mine was high or low, mine was in the ballpark but a little inconsistent. Took my temperature 3 times in about 2 minutes. Got readings of 98.0, 97.7, 97.8, This is "close enough" but I'd expected better. FYI My temperature is always in the 97+ range so that is not the issue.
