FINALLY a consistent thermometer!
My wife has bought numerous thermometers for our son over his six years. Including at least two quite expensive ones (one was in-ear and one was a forehead thermometer). It’s always seemed like more guess work than need be on our part to determine if he REALLY has a fever or not and whether it’s mild or not. Well, since he started school this year he’s caught and brought home numerous and varied illnesses. We finally got fed up with the in-ear thermometer. It’s grown more even more fickle over time. And considering his latest illness was an ear infection, we decided it was time for something else. Enter the expensive forehead thermometer. While the in-ear thermometer was wishy-washy with its numbers, the forehead thermometer is basically a random number generator. Despite following instructions to the letter, that thing throws out wildly different numbers on back to back readings. We’ve tried on him and both of us. Even holding it perfectly still to your own forehead and taking two readings back to back without moving – it will vary as much as 4-5 degrees. Not tenths, but whole number degrees. Sometimes less, but never consistent with itself or the in-ear.Fed up, I head to Amazon and start looking for oral thermometers (you can use it under the armpit as well). I’ve bought other medical equipment from ADC and was always satisfied with the quality. This thermometer has not let me down.FINALLY we get numbers that are not only consistent but also line up to what we are expecting. (While we can’t predict his actual temperature – we do know that when he’s sweating from his head and complains of the chills elsewhere and is hot to the touch that he very likely has a fever – despite the other thermometers measuring temperature sometimes down to 96F. Likewise, we know that his temperature is not 107F as read by the forehead thermometer when he feels mildly warmer than normal but is displaying no other signs – the reading taken immediately after was 101.2F and then 99.4F all in the same location and within about 15 seconds total).It’s quite a relief to finally have a thermometer that is consistent, and gives numbers that are within the range of reasonableness. All at a much lower price. It might not be quite as fast as the other two (but at 8 seconds it’s hardly slow) and it might not seem as convenient (or may even be seen as “outdated”). However, it actually does the function for which it was purchased – we trust that it gives us a reasonably accurate reading of our child’s temperature. Mine too for that matter as he’s passed several of these ailments on to me.

Good Battery Life, Easy to Read and Temp Accuracy Pretty Stable
Spent a long time looking for thermometers. I had no idea there were so many types and brands. It’s just a thermometer, right? Reading the reviews about different brands having short to no battery life, inaccurate and inconsistent temperatures readings and other not-so-good qualities became a bit overwhelming. I finally chose this thermometer. Glad I did. Not perfect, but very good. I tested th accuracy several times and it was never off by more than one degree. I like the plastic case and thermometer sleeves too. So far so, good. Battery still strong. Easy to read. I recommend.

Great!
So far as described. Only had for a few days. Fast read, large display and a beep that can be heard.

Great and accurate
Good product. Accurate. Great price.

Facile à utiliser avec son grand écran.La lumière de couleur aide à comprendre le niveau de la température. Je recommande pour le prix

De momento funciona tal y como anuncian, es rápido y práctico, si no tienes fiebre se retro ilumina en verde, si tienes en rojo. Tiene números grandes para verlo fácilmente, en unos 8 segundos ya tienes la temperatura, se ve fiable. Para cambiar de Fh a C° mantener pulsado el encendido unos 3 sec.
