HoMedics Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Clinically Proven Fast Accurate Results, High-Fever Alert with 4-in-1 Readings

I probably bought a half dozen thermometers over the years before I read a Wirecutter recommendation for this one and bought it. Except for one old-fashioned mercury thermometer that worked well but took forever to get a reading and wasn't comfortable to hold in the mouth, ALL of the others were reliably inaccurate. This is only thermometer I've ever owned that seems completely accurate, fast, and easy to use. Knowing what I now know, I'd never buy anything else. I store it with the batteries removed, because I've lost so many flashlights to leaks and corrosion and I don't want to lose this perfect thermometer.

Good readings and easy to use

I love this! It was a great buy. I bought it because I went and got a physical exam and I saw that they had the exact same one. I thought that the price was really great and I am in medical school so I use it in my medical bag. It works great for me. I think it’s a great thermometer to just get a quick look at someone’s temperature of course you could use a different device if you want to get a very accurate temp, but I feel that this is perfectly accurate for what I need it for.

It is my second. It seems to react quickly by skimming over the farhead Its also easy to read

Great device for temperature measuring! Have had for over a year and no need yet to change battery.

Bought this to have on hand, thankfully we do not get sick often; finally had a need for it last week and of course it doesn’t work. And no, it wasn’t my batteries…they all tested ‘good’. What a waste of money!!!!

This thermometer makes it so easy to take temperature. It is so quick. I can check someone's temperature while they are resting or sleeping without disturbing. Threw away our 'under the tongue' thermometer when we got this one.

I recently got disgusted with our digital Easy Home thermometer being so inaccurate I purchased four new thermometers including this one, the two IProven and non-contact Homedics Stay Healthy proved to be the most accurate, Bonaire was the least accurate of the 4. We have a non-contact one from Costco which is inaccurate so this on being so accurate surprised me, it's worth the money since it's fast, uses common aaa batteries, non-contact & accurate. The base line that I used for accuracy was from a 25 year old B&D digital thermometer which has proven to be 100% accurate but now unavailable, they now only make high end hospital thermometers & equipment. Sad so many digital thermometers on the market are inaccurate and get decent reviews.
