Review on Mueller Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer: Accurate Fever, Body & Surface Temperature Measurement with Memory Recall, Auto Power-Off, and Backlight Indicator - Gray by Trevor French

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inaccurate out of the box - consistently 2+ degrees higher than oral thermometer reading

I had high hopes for this unit after searching several sites for products that were clearly rebranded as the same unit. We had to purchase a non-contact thermometer to examine guests attending an in-person event, but this would not be a solution as it consistently far exceeds the temperature of the oral thermometer. Of the four people who tried it on, all read over 100 degrees and got a yellow warning screen, but had a perfectly normal temperature of 98.6 degrees on their oral thermometer. The readings were taken indoors at an ambient temperature of around 70 degrees. We've tried it from various distances including 1-2 inches as instructed to no avail, and also gave 10 seconds between measurements, again as instructed.

Pros
  • 9 Readings Memory Recall: This handy thermometer can remember the last 9 readings to keep an eye on your family member's temperature at all times. After 9 readings have been saved, the oldest readings are automatically deleted so you don't have to do this manually. It also comes with sound notifications to alert you when the temperature is high or your battery is low, or turn off the sound if you prefer.
Cons
  • Upgrade Availability
