Easy and accurate would purchase again

Works great!! I really like it!!

For the price, this is a very decent thermometer. Best way to acclimate and get comfortable using- is to try this on a few people a handful of times!! BUT.. listen to me when I say- try this when it arrives, before you ever need!! That way, you can eliminate added stress of learning to use at the worst time possible- When you or someone is ill!Sure! It’s not full proof… But, if you take the time to learn by taking same person‘s temperature x3-4 in a 10min period and do the same with another willing participant- you can get a good feel for it. This will become easy to use/read/navigate. Once you know the creature comfort’s… You should be able to get an accurate read the first time.Personally, I always double check any thermometer read- I will take a temperature, wait a few minutes and do it again as a rule of thumb- just for peace of mind!! ** Also, as a mom… I know when to go with my gut! It may sound crazy but it’s true. if, person feels feverish/warmer than their normal temp. Better to be safe than sorry and act on it. (I have a Dr. Dad from Stanford- with all his medical training, he advised me nothing is more certain than what you know to be true as a parent! If you think fever- you act.. and 9/10... you’re right!) I know- not all users are parents- sorry, bear with me!!So, how to practice/trouble shoot:You need- thermometer, 2+ willing participants-1. person #1 gets temperature taken x3-4 within 10min. Time frame, and should produce the same or, slight .01 variation. The specifics of trial/error of where to place on temple will reveal themself. I call this spot the “sweet spot” on the temple..Think where you rub when tension headache happens- place and HOLD (no swipe!) till beep sounds.. A little practice and this will let you know how to work/how long to leave in place etc., and it will show you by results.. that it works, and with the repeated results, it will assure that it’s accurate read-2. Person #2 you will do the same thing in between testing your first person.. why? Most likely.. neither of these 2 have the exact temp. as the other- therefore, giving you accuracy that it can read different people/temperatures and do so quite easily!Sorry- trying to be clear I may have made that more of a mess?!! Follow instructions, practice for ease of use when needed.. it works and if you do as it says, you shouldn’t be disappointed!** I Purchased for $12.99- ive seen this fluctuate in cost- FYI, if purchasing keep an eye on price!!

Accurate readings

This was being used by the home health nurses assisting my husband so I finally asked what brand it was thinking if professional healthcare staff were using it, it must be good. BINGO. I threw out 5 other almost useless digital thermometers and now have one that actually is simple to use and works all the time. Those point-n-shoot ones are notoriously inaccurate and it’s inconvenient to have to place a sheath on oral thermometers. It cleans quickly with an alcohol prep pad. Would buy it again.

Just received this thermometer and when I tried to put the batteries in I absolutely could not get the battery compartment open. I tried for a half hour till my arthritic fingers ached and still couldn't get it open. However, in reading reviews from a different vendor, someone with the same problem used a rubber jar opener to get his open. I had to lay the thermometer across the jar opener, which was laying on the counter, then using a corner of that jar opener I pressed down on the battery compartment and pushed and finally it opened. A hint for others, the bottom of the thermometer actually is part of the back of the battery compartment and comes off along with the back. I only gave it 3 stars because I have no idea how well it will work or how it will hold up. Fingers crossed, because I really like it.

So finicky that you basically can't trust it.I just took my kid's temperature 7 times with this thing, being careful to press the sensor in the dimple of her temple each time. Then I took her temperature in the surrounding areas near her temple. All readings showed 97°.She's visibly feverish so I took her temperature my backup thermometer and got 102.4°.This backup thermometer seems accurate since the other, healthy, members of my family are showing normal temperatures on it. So I do think that this issue is related to this forehead thermometer - It's not accurate.

I love how small this thermometer is. I actually got this one to compare to my other one and they read the same exact temperature. So id say it’s very accurate!
