they are generally very accurate and they are faster because of developing technology. they were first put into use in hospitals and clinics because a nurse doesn't have extra minutes to stand there and wait on a mercury thermometer.....you probably won't find a mercury thermometer in a healthcare setting now. pat p.s. i'd question the accuracy of the mercury thermometer..not the digital.

Why such a low reading each time then?. I'm talking about a difference of up to .10 degrees or more vs the reading I usually got (98.2F - 99.2F) on the mercury one. I'm using it correctly too. Thank's for the reply. Maybe I'm missing somthing here. Do I need to "set" it or acclimate it first?
UPDATE: I'm getting 97.2, 96.8, etc. That just can't be right.
