Overview
The Alcedo AE174 is a battery powered digital thermometer with an LCD display, weighing about 0.3 pounds in a white and blue housing. Amazon lists it under vitamins and supplements, but the specs point to a household thermometer rather than a supplement.
Listing data for this unit is thin: no seller description and no attribute fields beyond display, power source, color and weight. That makes exact readings, memory function or fever alarm claims impossible to confirm, so this page sticks to what is documented.

- Battery powered
- White and blue color
- 0.3 lb weight
Who it's for
Shoppers who want a simple battery operated thermometer with a basic LCD readout. Anyone who needs body-temperature-specific features such as fever alerts or memory storage should look elsewhere, since none of that is confirmed here.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight at 0.3 lb
- Battery powered for portability
- Simple LCD readout
- No stated accuracy or measurement range
- No seller description to confirm intended use
- Category listing does not match product type
Performance notes
The AE174 runs on batteries and shows results on an LCD screen. Beyond that, the listing does not specify measurement range, response time or accuracy, so buyers should confirm those details before use in any setting requiring precision.
