I have had this thermometer for over 2 1/2 years. At first it worked very well, but now it’s giving very inconsistent or low readings. I was feeling feverish but it kept saying I was 94.5 f and I was feeling hot. Shouldn’t I have been very cold?I am starting to look for a replacement thermometer in the meantime.

This is very easy to use but I really question the accuracy. If you want to have perfectly accurate readings each time maybe buy something more expensive but for the price can tell me well enough fever or not and that’s all I really need. It doesn’t matter too much to me when 100.2 and 100.5 come out as readings a few seconds apart.

This thermometer is so easy to use, so highly accurate, and a great way to check someone’s temperature without having to wake them up! I recommend, when using the ear temperature detector, you purchase & use the ear covers to keep the thermometer clean & sanitary.I recommend this thermometer to everyone. You can check the temps of objects, rooms & people. Very handy device at a great price!!!

Like a lot of people I have to take my temp before every shift and as a nurse a good thermometer is important to me. I want it to be fast and accurate. This fits both of those needs, plus some! I had one by Safety First, but it was clunky and inaccurate and difficult to use correctly. This is simple to use in all of its functions. You can do touchless forehead which is great for my two year old or myself for work, inner ear temp by just removing the forehead cover, or even ambient temperatures by holding the memory button for a few seconds.My only complaint about this thermometer is that it doesn’t seem like you can use covers for the first ear thermometer, which means you have to make sure to clean it really well after using the ear probe.Otherwise, it’s lightweight and only two buttons. The instructions are easy to follow, the screen is large and easily readable and you can mute the beeps for middle of the night temperature checks.Definitely a great value.

I was using a digital mouth thermometer that I would pick up when they were on sale. Although they were faster than a traditional thermometer the battery would die or the accuracy would wane after a few years. It's safe to say that they pale in comparison to my newly purchased thermometer. Quick forehead scan that takes a second or less. I am impressed, to say the least. Additional features include sleek design, batteries were included, quick instructions, and easy to use. The fact that there is an option for forehead or ear temperature readings makes this a go-to for all ages. Yes, this uses batteries. My solution is rechargeable batteries.

I am very careful when choosing body temperature thermometers as the temperature range for the body is narrow and just a degree of error is a lot. I chose this thermometer because reviews before mine were positive and it has both ear and forehead modes. At the time of purchase, the price for the thermometer was $25.99. I received no incentives from Amazon or the seller for this review; I just care a lot about my thermometers. :^)METHODS: To assess the precision of this thermometer, I took measurements in various locations and modes all in one sitting. I measured temperature from my right ear (in ear measurement mode), the center of my forehead (with contact), different locations across the forehead (with contact), across the forehead with the recommended sliding method, and at the center of my forehead (without contact, ~1 cm between the tip of the thermometer and my forehead). I did not test the mode for measuring objects.RESULTS: With the exception of measuring different locations, this thermometer is very consistent with a standard deviation of 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures measured without contact are consistently lower! Across different locations on the forehead, variation in readings was the greatest. The correct way to measure forehead temperatures with contact (as specified in the included quick guide) is to hold the scan button down while sliding the thermometer from center of forehead to either temple, then releasing the scan button. I assume this averages readings while sliding to produce a more consistent reading.OTHER COMMENTS: As advertised, the thermometer has settings for Celsius or Fahrenheit (a switch in the battery compartment), memory for 35 readings, a setting for noise alerts or muted, and different modes for measuring forehead, ear, or object temperatures. Forehead mode is the default when the cap is left on, and thermometer automatically switches to ear mode when the cap is removed. Object-measurement mode is set by holding down the memory/mute button with the device off.The product comes in a single box with documentation, a drawstring pouch, two AAA batteries, and the thermometer. The exterior of the thermometer is plastic. The thermometer is easy to hold and surprisingly light. The ear probe cover is a little difficult to take off and there are not instructions for how they recommend removing it. I've found it helps to press both sides of the cover before pulling which helps disengage the clips that keep it on. This review is based on a few days of use. I will update this review if my experience with the product changes over time.

This is the best thermometer I’ve ever used with my kids. My other thermometer had to stay in their ear for 3 seconds, and getting little babies to hold still for 3 seconds is impossible. This gives an instant read.I like that you have the option to do an ear reading or a forehead reading. You also don’t have to touch the thermometer on the head, it can read from a distance.The design is super sleek and easy to use. It’s very light and automatically powers off so you won’t drain all your battery life if you forget. Overall, I love this thermometer. It’s by far the best one I’ve used!
