1,500 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The Mabis 15-639-000 is a battery powered thermometer with a basic LCD readout, priced at about $8.99. It keeps things plain, which is part of the appeal if you simply want a familiar tool in the medicine cabinet without spending much.', 'It carries a 3.9 star rating across roughly 1,500 reviews. That is a sizable base of feedback, and the middling score points to an experience that works for many people but disappoints others, so expectations should stay grounded.', 'The manufacturer does not list a measurement type or accuracy figure for this listing, so we describe only what is published: an LCD display, battery power and a white finish. If precise, consistent readings matter to you, consider that the basics here are exactly that, basic.']

Frequently asked questions
Is the Mabis 15-639-000 accurate enough to rely on?
The listing does not publish an accuracy figure, so we cannot confirm a specific tolerance. Any reading from a home thermometer is a guide, not a diagnosis. If a temperature concerns you, consult a healthcare professional.
Does it need batteries?
Yes, it is listed as battery powered. Keep a spare battery handy so the device is ready when you need it. Check the package for the exact battery type before buying replacements.
Why is the rating only 3.9 stars?
A 3.9 star average across about 1,500 reviews means many buyers were satisfied while a notable share were not. It is a budget device, so set expectations accordingly and read recent reviews for current feedback.
