Thank you
I bought this blue, rubbery, flower-shaped thermometer 17 years ago in 2009 when I got my first pair of Birman kittens. I used it to check the water temperature before bathing them. Both of my cats passed away, one in 2023 and the other in 2024. After that, I kept the thermometer on my kitchen windowsill. It carries so many memories; every time I look at it, I am reminded of the sweet times with my beloved cats. It was truly the best time of my life.
Sadly, today in 2026, the battery finally died after 17 years of service. I have to say, it is an incredibly robust product. Made in China, Philips definitely used a fantastic factory. Thank you for all the years.

Brilliant!
I bought one of these for my son when he was born just over 16yrs ago - it still sits by my bed measuring the room temp! Absolutely brilliant, I can never part with it. Highly recommended.

Very practical and fits in anywhere
What a fantastic little bit of kit. It's subdued colour and pleasant appearance helps it to fit in anywhere in your home. In the babies bedroom it sits safely and securely on the chest of drawers. It's lovely texture helps it to grip to the surface which stops it from sliding off.
It's easy to read and easy to set up, which definitely helps with the not so tech savy users.
It's easy to transport from room to room without any difficulty. It bath temperature floating functionality is amazing and I'm guessing will be a little bit of an added enjoyment when the baby grows up.
It's brilliant to have a product that adapts from taking room temperature to taking water temperature rather than having to use two different thermometers. Would absolutely recommend this to new parents as well as people with older children.
Pros
Easy to use, ergonomic, discreet, accurate
Cons
Temperature display a little small

Fantastic!
I love having products which have a dual use so I don't have to buy extra things I don't need. I keep this in my son's bedroom so I can make sure it's not getting too hot or cold when he has his naps, and then I can simply pop it in the bath to check its ok and he will happily play with it too. It's nice to have a product which is a neutral colour and not bright pink or bright blue with a garish design, so it fits in nicely with our nursery decor. It works well and I think the temperature is accurate. Overall, I'm very impressed.
Pros
Can be used in both the bedroom and the bath and also as a toy!
Cons
None!

Very accurate, nice design
I thought the design was very cute, and was a nice addition to my baby's room. I found the temperature gauge was very accurate so it definitely help me relax when my son was in the bath as I knew the temperature was just right, and obviously it was good in his bedroom at night too. I would definitely recommend!
Pros

Excellent product for first time mother
Very impressed with this digital bath and bedroom thermometer. I have used it in both the bath and bedroom and had no issues where it accurately gives me the temperature. Very reassuring more for the bedroom temperature to ensure it is a comfortable and safe warmth for baby. The bath water temperature is more common sense however its great to get a second opinion if indecisive. Overall great quality product!
Pros
accurate and reassuring
Cons
none

Lovely product
This is a lovely product for those who are worried or want to ensure a safe temperature for their babies room. It’s amazing it can be used in the bath also, I find this hard to know the temperature for my babies bath and this helps. It tells you on it what a room & bath temperature should be too. Looks cute on my daughters shelf!
Pros
Looks great, clever design, can be used in the bath

Brilliant piece of kit.
Love the flower design of this thermometer. It floats perfectly for use on the bath or sink, and the nodule at the base makes a very good stand to for the room. My daughter loved splashing around with it in the water.
My only qualm is, the display isn't or can't be illuminated, at 3am when the little ones kicking off and you need to see the temp of the room you need a phone or light or something to see the display, but apart from that everything else is wonderful with this.
Pros
Floats and stands lovely
Cons
Display doesn't light up
