I have the egg but I don't have a guaranteed-accurate thermometer against which to calibrate it so I'm not sure of the accuracy of mine.

One thing that I've found strange is watching the egg's temperature and color flip-flop between two temperatures several times within the span of a minute. Is it really 67 then 69 then 67 then 69 then 67? It makes for a fun light show,

Elana, great recommendation - thanks, I'll check it out!

Denise, good idea re the fan. I figured I'd leave one on just for the "white noise" factor but I'll look into the air circulation cuz I hadn't thought of it.

$50?! Yikes! Before I got too far into your review I was thinking what a cool product this was. Not just the safety factor, but we always found it difficult to tell whether the nursery was too hot or too cold. To this day we're constantly adjusting the thermostat, opening or shutting vents. Glad you were able to return it!

One thing we were told was to keep a fan on in the

Oooh this makes me feel good because I desperately wanted the egg but our monitor has a thermometer on it and we were given an eerily accurate cardboard crib thermometer so never got round to buying it - and now I'm glad I didn't and will stop wishing for it!

What I found interesting is that I've been keeping my babies' room too hot. :-) I like my rooms to be approx 70 degrees F, so that's what I try to keep their room at. If it got to below 69 I'd flip out that they were freezing. Whooopsie! :-) Luckily I just found out about this egg thingy from you and I'll make sure not to buy it.

For peace of mind I'd

Oh, I'm glad you really tested this, and weren't swayed by its cuteness.

This is the first time I've heard of such a gizmo. They really should re-calibrate. Such a simple miscalculation could make a HUGE difference.

Thank you for the scrutiny.
