Review: This isn't worth the money - we bought one for our baby son's room just after he was born and now, two years later, the LCD readout has completely failed.

I say 'completely' as it was just a few months before the first couple of bars forming the numbers disappeared. After a year, only half of it was visible, and now after two years it is retained purely as a night light. Before we bought an alternative, we were reduced to guessing the temperature by judging the colour - we're not even sure the shades it produces can be relied upon anymore.

A nice idea but let down by a sub-standard LCD panel.
Pros: Looks nice, non invasive soft lighting, good for judging the bedding needs of junior.
Cons: Sub standard LCD panel. Bars forming the numbers and letters will disappear leaving you guessing whether its 20 or 28 etc...
Score: 3/10
Rating: No one has rated this review help yet, will you be the first...?
