359 owner reviews, fewer 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.

Overview
['The Veridian Healthcare 08-352 is a small digital thermometer that runs on a battery and reads out on a digital display. The listing lists it in a green finish, and the unit is very light at roughly 0.02 pounds, so it is easy to tuck into a drawer or travel bag.', 'Priced near $4.14, it sits at the very bottom of the price range for home thermometers. That makes it an easy choice as a spare or a first thermometer rather than a flagship device, and the maker does not publish detailed accuracy figures on this listing.', 'With a 4.2 star average across about 359 ratings, buyer feedback leans positive without being overwhelming. As with any home thermometer, treat the readings as general information and talk with a healthcare professional about any temperature that concerns you.']

Performance notes
Performance details on this listing are limited. It uses a digital display and is battery powered, but the manufacturer does not publish accuracy figures or a stated measurement method here, so it is best judged as a no frills point and read thermometer rather than a feature rich device. Because temperature ranges and tolerances are not listed, follow the included instructions and confirm any worrying reading with a healthcare professional.
What buyers say
Feedback is generally favorable, with a 4.2 star average from roughly 359 ratings. That points to a workable, reasonably reliable basic thermometer for the price, though the sample is smaller than the thousands of reviews seen on the most popular models, so impressions are positive but not exhaustive.
