Review on Digital Infrared Forehead And Ear Thermometer For Adults, Children And Babies - Accurate Medical Readings With IProven DMT-489 Fever Thermometer In Black by Maurice Matlock

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Accuracy is all over the place

I get significantly different readings between forehead and ear canal, it also gives wildly inaccurate readings with a good 10-20 degree variance. This thermometer has read me at 81 and 105 all in the same hour.Forehead is totally worthless as it changes based on room temperature, it's consistently between the low 80's and low 90's unless I press it against my face, then it will read mid 90's.My temperature is obviously not low 80's as it shows when I do a contactless forehead reading. I know this because I am alive and not suffering from severe hypothermia 24/7.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • May provide inconsistent readings if not held at proper angle
