Not Satisfied.Trustworthy?

I can't tell if this thermometer is accurate. When my son was sick, I got a different temp every time in just a 60 second time frame. I had the same experience with both the ear and forehead settings.

Pros
  • Convenient and portable design for travel
Cons
  • May have a learning curve for new users

Great for kids in my review

this is a really high quality thermometer. It's definitely one that you want to have if you have kids. You need something accurate. You can use this to scan the forehead or to take a temperature in the ear for more accuracy. It's nice to have those options especially when your child is sleeping and you want to quickly take a temp. It has three different lights to indicate the temperature. Green to let you know that the temperature is not concerning, yellow to let you know to keep an eye on…

Pros
  • Comes with a protective cover to prevent damage and dirt buildup
Cons
  • May not come with a protective case

Readings all over the place

I took my temperature 3 times in a row. First reading, 99, second 101, third 98.3. Hmmmm. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but if it’s that difficult to get an accurate reading, what’s the point?

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with sensitive ears

Not accurate in my review

When we first got this, it seemed to be pretty accurate. I could tell my daughter had a fever and it was registering between 100-102. However within just a couple days the accuracy completely stopped working and now it is clearly giving incorrect readings . Temperatures are usually in the 95-96 range which is ridiculously low for our family on average. It is also a different temperature each time you try it even multiple times in a row.Switching it from a forehead reader to an ear thermometer…

Pros
  • Signals readiness with a beep sound
Cons
  • May not work well on people with dark skin

Works great and very accurate.

I like that you have the option to scan the forehead or put in the ear canal. My old one only took your temperature in the ear canal, and the kids didn't like my having to take their temperatures in their ears each time. It's very accurate for a temporal scan too, so pleased that I bought an extra one to make the kids happy and my having to check their temperatures more easy for me. It also came with batteries, so that was an added bonus.

Pros
  • Does not require special skills to use
Cons
  • May not be reliable if not stored properly

Mixed thoughts best in my review

Not entirely sure if it shows right temperature all the time. I double check with a regular digital thermometer and find atleast 1 degree difference.

Pros
  • Thermometers
Cons
  • May not be covered by insurance

Said 105 fever was 97.6

Very inaccurate. Said my sons 105 fever was 97.6. Tried several times and still was not anywhere near accurate. You could feel his and tell there was a fever. This is garbage.

Pros
  • Fever alarm alerts you when temperature is too high
Cons
  • May be difficult to get a consistent reading

Very Easy! in my review

The forehead thermometer is VERY EASY to use and gives you different colors to indicate if the temperature is normal, borderline, or abnormal! I wish it had an ear piece with it so that it can be used as a ear thermometer too. But otherwise very impressed by the product and even purchased one for my friend as a baby shower gift!

Pros
  • It work quickly
Cons
  • May not work on people with earwax buildup

Not sure if it’s accurate

The forehead temperature I believe just doesn’t work well but the ear piece works best to get a more accurate temp. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Works great for the price. Easy, no assembly required, no battery installations.
Cons
  • Shows a different temp each time i use it making me question if it’s accurate.

Super easy for kids

I have tried using the under the arm thermometer and pacifier thermometers for my infant when she was sick. The under arm one was a fight because she was sick and didn’t want her arm held to her. The pacifier took forever and she always wanted to spit it out. I wish I had had this when she was little because it is so easy, quick, and non invasive to get a temperature. Now that she is almost 2 she loves to just have her temperature take with this.

Pros
  • Offers peace of mind for parents
Cons
  • May not work well on people with thin skin

Came fast and easy to use on adults

The product was simple and easy to use. I got it because I'm required to check my temperature before going to work. It works quickly and anyone can figure it out even without the directions. I didn't have any issues. It was small and compact so I can carry it with me and easily check my temperature on the go. I didn't use the ear function and it also says for kids, but it works just fine on adults too, not to mention the good price. Many places are overcharging for these because of the…

Pros
  • User-friendly and intuitive design
Cons
  • May not work well on people with scars or blemishes

Easy to Use & Accurate

VERY important to know when toddler is running a fever! Not only did this work fast, with just a touch to the forehead, there's even a little color indicator to let you know "Normal, not quite normal, or this is a fever" - It saves readings so you can tell if your fever/elevated temperature is getting better or worse - a very helpful feature in the stress of taking care of a sick child. I felt that the readings were accurate. This is a brand I trust.

Pros
  • Can measure temperature without disturbing sleeping children
Cons
  • May not work well on people with deeply set eyes

Accurate for skin surface temperature, forehead and ears.

I was in need of a new thermometer so decided to give this a try. It is super easy to use, seems to be accurate, and can be used to check surface temperature of areas other than forehead! After my 2nd Covid vaccination, I experienced some reactions that were totally unexpected. The vaccination site and my arm became sore, rashy, and very warm. This thermometer showed the surface temp of my arm was 102.5° ! Knowing this led me to take action with cool compresses to my arm and reduce the feverish

Pros
  • Can test for high fever in infants
Cons
  • May not be FDA approved

This works exactly as stated and seems to be made of reasonably high quality parts and plastic. It was very easy to learn how to use and takes a forehead temperature in about 2 seconds of a forehead swipe. One thing that may be worth noting. Although it says this is a three way meter (forehead, ear, object), I found the object mode to be useless because you have to be 1" to 2" from the hot object. Remote infrared thermometers for objects can be as much as 14" to 17" from objects, so don't…

Pros
  • CE and FDA approved for safety and reliability
Cons
  • May require additional probes for multiple users

Great item for my opinion

This thermometer is great, it is a two In one and can check your temperature either using it on your forehead or in your ear. The readings are accurate. Al you do is press one button and it take a few seconds to get the reading. There are 3 colors that help you determine how your temperature is.

Pros
  • Silent Mode: Use the silent mode at night to measure your baby or kids temperature without waking them up.
Cons
  • May not work well on people with sweaty or greasy skin

Fast! Convenient! User friendly!

I really like that it came with batteries and a carrying bag. It detects your temperature quickly, and turns off on its own after a few seconds. I keep it at the front door for use when entering the house, beside it I have sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. I love this product! And I am happy to have it be a part of my spread prevention kit.

Pros
  • Can be used for multiple applications
Cons
  • May not work well on people with piercings or earrings

Soooo easy to use!: my feedback

Don't let the title fool you. This is for kids and adults alike. Simply pop in the batteries, read the direction on the appropriate way to measure temperature on the

Pros
  • Works great. Good price
Cons
  • Not sure if it read temperature right

It will work good for me

I am satisfied with this forehead thermometer. It is a nice shape, size, and easy to use. My only complaint is that it did not come with any of the ear components that are clearly listed as part of the product. I was tempted to return it, but the truth is that we will only use it on foreheads, anyway (in a commercial setting). So we decided to keep what we received.

Pros
  • 3-in-1 Forehead, Ear and Object Mode: Our easy to use digital thermometer measures besides adults, kids and babies also objects. Check your baby’s bottle or bathwater temperature with the press of a button.
Cons
  • Could be expensive compared to other thermometers

Good thermometer for my opinion

Overall good thermometer. The ear reading is more accurate than the forehead scan. Forehead scan is usually 1-2 degrees lower than the ear reading. It would have been nice to receive a sample of ear probe covers. The device stores previous readings which is helpful.

Pros
  • Can store up to 35 previous temperature readings
Cons
  • May require multiple attempts to get an accurate reading

Inconsistent: my feedback

If you want a quick ballpark reading, this is okay. Inconsistent back to back readings. Only constant that seemed reasonable was the green or red light indicator.

Pros
  • Very decent quality, only one second for the result. Loved it!
Cons
  • People with ear infections may not be able to use the ear mode
