This thermometer is great. It is fast, easy, and convenient, which is invaluable when it comes to kids. We love this and could not be happier. see less

Our hospital gave us a traditional thermometer for our newborn to use. Holding it under her tiny armpit was not an easy task. Getting her temperature reading with this ear thermometer is much more convenient, she doesn't seem to be bothered by it. see less

We bought this thermometer to have in the house as well as for the baby we are expecting soon. One piece of advice I do have, read the directions, it will take 5 seconds and you will realize how easy and simple it is to use. We have tested it out on ourselves numerous times and love it. It works well and is a great value considering that some of these digital ones can get pretty expensive. see less

This thermometer is great! This is the kind that our hospital used, so I knew it would be a great product! Takes a couple times to figure out how to use it, but then its easy. see less

I bought this thermometer ... see more

I bought this thermometer after struggling with a standard digital thermometer for over a year with my baby. So glad I purchased it! It's quick and easy to use with an instant reading, and saves me minutes of trying to get a screaming baby to hold still so that I can keep a thermometer under her arm. Wish I bought it sooner! see less

I bought one for my niece to use for her little girl. We checked it against a standard thermometer. If PROPERLY USED, it works Excellent and is extremely accurate! I have one of those that you use in your ear. It's hard to get a consistent reading with that kind and you have to take several readings. I'm buying one of these Exergens for myself today. This is absolutely the best thermometer I have ever used and is worth every penny! Any negative comments written about the functionality of it will only be due to operator error. Don't hesitate to spend the money, you'll be glad you made the investment! see less

My pediatrician specifically recommended this thermometer and I can see why after one use. After fumbling with the regular thermometer that came in my baby care kit, and worrying if I was going to deep or not enough, the Vicks one takes away that worry. It's much smaller, has a short probe to eliminate the worry, plus the read out comes quick so you don't have to hold it in for a long time. Definitely a Must for babies! see less

I purchased this thermome ... see more

I purchased this thermometer knowing that rectal temperature is most accurate for babies. This gives the temperature very fast so that the thermometer isn't up baby's bum for an extremely long time! And it's easy to use. Highly recommend this to all moms. see less

It is easy, super fast and safe. When your baby is sick the last thing you want do is make them uncomfortable. I Love that it is digital and it saves your last recoding. Super, super fast and safe. The tip is so small you will not be worried about inserting it too deep and hurting your baby! see less

I love this thermometer. ... see more

I love this thermometer. There is a little bit of variation in the readings if you don't have it situated correctly in the ear. However, if you use it correctly, it works great! It gives a very fast reading, which is nice. My daughter recently had a fever of 104.4 and it accurately read her temperature. It was .2 degrees higher by the time we got to the emergency room and the nurses used their professional grade thermometer. So I'd say it is very accurate. Take the time to learn how to position it correctly. It's worth the effort. see less

I've read bad reviews but gave this a try because I wanted to be able to use this during the night without waking up the kids or during their naps, it works great! I think it might not have been accurate for other people because they may have not used it properly. Overall, a great purchase and very accurate and easy to use. see less

Great product. So handy with a new baby in the house, easy to use and non-invasive which is a plus with a already fussy baby in hand. Easy to read and faster than waiting on one of the older type units (or one of the old fashioned oral or anal thermometers). Wish they had been around a lot sooner. see less

I absolultely love this product! I have purchased multiple thermometers and this one has the most accurate reading. Everyone's temperature is different and every thermometer reads differently, but this one is the most accurate I have seens since a good old fashioned mercury one. I love that it is non invasive for the little ones. It has two setting so make sure it is set to read a person and not an object and you will get a very accurate reading. see less

What a great idea to have a pacifier thermometer, now I can kill two birds with one stone by pacifying my little boy as well as seeing if he's running a fever. A great buy for those first-timers like me! see less

I find this to be one of the cleaveres thing they could have come up with. It is so hard to get a baby temperature. I think this will be a big help. see less

my oldest child took a binky so he would use this. it was very easy to use and was acurte. and all i had to do to get his temp was replace his binky with this thermometer. but my youngest would not take a binky so he refused to use it. as long as your child uses a binky this thermometer is a great thing to purches if he or she dose not use a binky then dont buy it. see less

This thermometer is fabulous! It not only is a non-contact but takes the temperature of surfaces, rooms, and living organisms. It is very simple to use and for infants truly is the best. Babies are fussy and the less you have to disturb them with anything else besides changing, feeding, and bathing is better for both baby and Mom. see less

This Thermometer truly has made my life much easier. Being able to take my child's temperature without touching them is genius. I have even takin his temperature while he sleeps. I will never go back to an ear thermometer again. I love this thermometer so much that i have even bought one for my friend who just had a baby. see less

I bought this online, I have a two year old at home and Shes very active and hates the traditional way you take there temp. So I saw this item and loved the idea of just scanning her forehead. I have to say I truly love this product. I can use it when shes sleeping in her crib or while shes reading a book. Its FAST. and you a can use on other things, like boiling water, room temp. Its great. I just wish I got this at my baby shower YEARS ago! Defiantly a great product. Defiantly RECOMMEND IT! see less

This is a reasonably priced thermometer that does the job just fine. I've had no problems when taking my baby's temperature with it, although I've only had to use it twice. Still not worth the [$], but it works fine! see less

Consistently read temperature was lower than it was. We actually bought two overall because we assumed the first one must have been a lemon, but no. Even took it to the pediatrician's office to compare methods and the temp they found, and sure enough it was way off! Kind of scary that people may be relying on this! see less

I bought this thermometer for my infant. It consistently gives reads 2 degrees below a reasonable human's body temperature when used in the underarm. I tested it under my own tongue and it will give me different (low) temperatures each time. see less

I spent a fair amount of time researching thermometers when my baby was born and finally went with this one. We have been very pleased with it. Thankfully, we have not had to use it a lot, but it is certainly very easy to use. Temporal thermometers vary somewhat in their readouts, so it is best to take a few readings and average them if you want to get the most accurate reading. I generally use it once as a quick check. I have found it reasonably accurate with both the ear and temporal scanners, on both the baby and myself. see less

I was using an underarm digital thermometer prior to getting this. I love how quick, accurate, and non-invasive it is! I tested it on me and my 10 month old son and it is very accurate. I love how it keeps record of past readings, and tells you if it was taken on the forehead or the ear. Well worth the money! see less

I love this thermometer. ... see more

I love this thermometer. I have a 2 yr old son and he had a fever last week. I was able to check his temp via his forehead in the middle of the night without waking him. As far as the accuracy goes... You need to be sure to use this product correctly for the forehead or ear. It is obviously not going to be as accurate as using a thermometer under the armpit, mouth or in the rear-end. I always use it on the forehead and haven't had a problem with accuracy personally. I deffinately reccomend this for anyone with a small child that doesn't like to be fiddled with. It is so easy!! see less

Same temp all three times. Make sure u follow directions! You have to take three temp from the same ear waiting 2min between each temp. If u follow directions it works great. Fast readings. see less

We have enjoyed having this little device. It seems really accurate and it's good to know when we need a little more or less humidity in the bedroom for us and the baby. see less

I came across this and thought it would help with dealing with my allergies,when and when not I would need to run a humidifier or a dehumidifier. All you have do is take it out of the package,pull the battery tab,and peel off the screen protector. Fantastic! see less

This thermometer is perfect for our needs. It is very easy to use, and is wonderful for middle of the night readings. You can even take their temperature while they are still sleeping. I would definitely recommend this thermometer! see less

I went through a couple of thermometers before I gave-in and purchased this 'more' expensive one. It was TOTALLY worth the money- not only does it read my toddler's temperature quickly, but it is so convenient to carry. I would absolutely recommend this product and would list it as a 'must have' to any new/experienced mommy! see less

This thermometer is so ea ... see more

This thermometer is so easy to use. It keeps all the attachments neatly tucked inside itself, and is still a nice compact size. The screen is very clear and easy to read. I love that it keeps track of the last 10 readings with time and everything. It has a temperature chart right there on it so you don't have to memorize healthy temps for each method, but also has a fever alert so you know right away. The readings come out fast, which is invaluable when dealing with a fussy baby. It's really so easy to use, easy to clean, versatile, an overall great value! see less

As a new mom, and a nurse in pediatrics, I highly recommend this thermometer! It is quick, which make it highly user friendly for newborns, infants and children. The fever indicator is very useful. A must have for every growing family! see less

I absolutely love this th ... see more

I absolutely love this thermometer! It is so nice to have a thermometer that reads a temp quickly, especially when you have a squirmy baby that doesn't like to hold still for very long. Also love the fact that it has the interchangeable tips for the whole family. This is definitely the best thermometer I have ever had. see less

This product works great

This is the most reliable ... see more

This is the most reliable tempanic I've ever used. It's comparable to hospital grade equipment I use in the Emergency Room and it's just as accurate if not better. Given it's tempanic, so the temperature reading is probably going to be about 1-2 degrees lower than the actual core temperature attained through a rectal temperature but it's pretty close. And it's rugged too. I work as a paramedic and I always keep one handy in my jump kit for just in cases. The only complaint is that the probe diameter is a little on the big side so doesn't work quite well on infants with smaller diameter ear passages. But I would highly recommend it for anyone from toddlers to adults. I've had this thing for about 3 years and it's still going good. As a matter of fact, my wife (an RN) and I liked it so much that we bought one for personal use. We have 1 toddler and a teen in our household and it served it's purpose this season when we all got the flu. see less

I've had this since my da ... see more

I've had this since my daughter was an infant. I have to say that now that she is older it works better and seems to be more accurate. I think it has to do with fitting into the child's ear canal better as they grow. When she was a baby I too deemed it unreliable. Now I can't imagine being without it. The whole family uses it, it's very quick. You will take your temperature a lot more often if you have one. I love it.. but I agree with the mothers of infants, I didn't love it when my daughter was smaller. see less

I've had this one for a w ... see more

I've had this one for a while now and love it! My son had tubes put in his ears and taking his temperature was never easy.. this takes a few seconds and its done! Super easy and it saves the previous check so you can compare temps from before! see less

I have not used the ear t ... see more

I have not used the ear thermometer much yet because it is not recommended until after the age of 2 but I love the shape of the rectal thermometer. The regular thermometers are so long and skinny it felt like I was shoving them in the butt too much this particular thermometer, the shape of it helped me gauge (on a SQUIRMING baby) how far it went in. I have never had a problem with it's accuracy and it is the same brand as the "regular ones"... I would recommend the thermometer to any new mom. see less

I purchased this thermometer kit for a first time mom. She loves it. Wish I had something like this when I had my own babies many years ago! see less

Our pediatrician recommended taking a rectal temperature until our child was at least 2 years old. It was stated that it is the most accurate for temperatures. We received this as a gift. We had to use it recently and it was very simple to use. see less

I've tried a few thermome ... see more

I've tried a few thermometers and this is the best I've found so far. I've tried all types out there! Our pediatrician actually said these behind-the-ear ones are pretty good. It's WAY EASIER than trying to get my kid to hold still while I use both hands to swipe her forehead or pull on her ear to get the probe inside just right. My kid actually likes it. I love how the LED light tells you if the temperature is slightly elevated or high. The only thing I don't like is that the more you take your temperature with it, the higher the readings get. So if you take your temperature 4 times in a row, even after waiting after the required 10 sec pause, the temp is elevated each time. So the first couple of readings are accurate, but it's like the probe needs to cool down more after each reading. Other than that, I would recommend this one for kids, babies, and adults. see less

Me, my husband and my mot ... see more

Me, my husband and my mother tried to use this. It is easy to understand, yes, but we can't seem to put it on the exact place which they call behind the ear. So we get different results. I love that once it detect the temperature, green/yellow/red colors light up too, depending on the reading like red when the fever is high. see less

If u get this plan on taking a temperature like 6 x to get an accurate one!!! Will give normal temp when kid is hot and has an obvious temperature! see less

We bought this for our newborn since we were told he might develop a fever after his shots. It gave us an accurate reading and it helped us time when to give him baby Tylenol to help bring down his fever. Even tested on me and hubby, just in case, and it does show an accurate temperature too. see less

This is a great ear themometer. For the price, it is nice to have a couple on hand so you are not running all over the house. Definitely read the instructions first, so you are using it accurately. I think the themometer reads accurate. No problems with it. The themometer is small enough to throw in your diaper bag or purse. see less

We've had this thermomete ... see more

We've had this thermometer for about 6 months and so far it has worked great. I've used it on both my 15 month old and myself. I was skeptical of how well it worked when I first got it so I compared it to our digital thermometer and its always been within a few tenths of degree. Not sure how I apparently got lucky but glad I did! see less

I only own one of these and have had it for years. It turns out this one isn't only our funnest thermometer, but the most accurate one we own. I went on line to see if I could buy another *one* (but who wants to spend $.. on, or needs 5 thermometers?!) and am disappointed that they are not sold separately as they were in stores. Now, I can't find them in stores! I've got a lot of other thermometers, this one is the best of them all. I'm ready to dump the others, as soon as I can buy just *one* more (not five more). Oh, yeah, the kids? Of course this is their favorite! It makes being sick just a little less scary when taking temps. This really is a great product. see less

I opened the package, fol ... see more

I opened the package, followed the directions, and the unit didn't work. When you turn it on, the LCD display test is supposed to show, then the last temp taken shows, then the "F" (for Fahrenheit) is supposed to flash, indicating the unit is ready to take the temperature. The unit I purchased keeps alternating between displaying the LCD display test and the last temp taken. The "F" never flashes. It seems to me that the unit keeps resetting itself. I called the customer service number on the back of the thermometer, but the office was closed for the weekend (so tell your kids not to get sick on weekends). My husband is taking the unit back as I write this and we will get the "old fashioned" kind of thermometer. They are cheaper and at least they work. see less

The model we have came fr ... see more

The model we have came from [.] but looks to be the essentially the same item. My mother bought one for me when we found out we were expecting and I love it.It does take a minute or two to figure out how to use properly so read the instructions carefully. After that it's easy. Essentially, hit 'scan' to turn on. It'll display the last recorded temp. Wait till the 'F' is flashing. Insert in ear, it'll beep to tell you it's positioned right. Hit scan and it'll beep when it's done. You have to wait till the 'F' is flashing on the screen though before trying to take your temp otherwise it will try to record the ambient air temp and spit back a 'Lo' reading.Other reviewers have sited issues with the battery indicator but we haven't had issues with that at all and I take it with me every where we go.As for the temperature problems mentioned, we haven't had issues with that either. When I felt ill recently I used ours to monitor my high fever that topped out at 104. see less

I usually dont write reviews but these reviews seem one sided. This model is quick, easy to use, and accurate. We have another style which scans on the forehead but it is not as consistent. Hope this helps someone. see less

I too have this same ther ... see more

I too have this same thermometer under the name Reli On. I got it as a baby shower gift and was excited because I'd been wanting to get an ear thermometer. This thing is just horrible. It's super complicated to use. We had to read the instructions at least 4 times over and we still couldn't get the thing to work correctly the majority of the time. If you don't turn off the instant read sensor, you get the wrong temp because it reads it at whatever the temp is at 9 seconds. Even with the sensor off, I'm pretty sure the temp is wrong. It would give us between 94-97 for the baby, and when I took his temp rectally it was over 100. Do not buy this and if you get it as a gift, take it back before you open it. I am going to look for a more reliable ear thermometer asap. see less

Difficult to rate this product well when it doesn't work upon arrival. Purchased this for my friend who is very ill and whose husband is legally blind. Thought a talking thermometer would help but, when it arrived, it didn't work. It said "Low battery" so now they need to ask someone to go to the store and buy a battery. see less

Nice size and well made, sturdy. Works great and and takes very accurate readings. A great time saver as opposed to the classic style thermometer. see less

We love this thermometer! ... see more

We love this thermometer! It is SO easy to use and it even turns itself off! We asked our pediatrician if we could use it on our baby (you are usually told to take temp rectally for first 3 mo.- which seems a bit, uh, "invasive"...) and she said yes, infrared thermometers are very accurate. We have even tested it on ourselves against traditional thermometers and at the doctor's office against their fancy forehead scanner and we get very accurate readings. Super quick too - maybe a second or two for a reading - great for a squirmy baby. =) see less

When I got this thermomet ... see more

When I got this thermometer I thought it was going to be too good to be true. It takes a temp within 1 second and will take it on anything. Forehead, ear, as well as the temperature on Bottles and baby food. I had originally gotten an ear thermometer that would give me a different temp every time I used it and would vary by 3 degree's... I used this on my baby and it gave me the same temperature every time I took it! It's awesome! I would strongly recomend someone get this for a new born! It takes the temp so fast and is very user friendly! see less

I have 5 grandkids and they get fevers but when they are sick and under the weather it is a little treat to take their temps and tell me whether they have a fever or not as they can tell by the color if they are green (ok) yellow (ooops a little sick) or red (time to find the ibuprophen) I love the product and bought one for my daughters home too. When they get sick my 6 year old grand daughter goes running for the thermometer and announces whether she is sick or not. A good way to cheer up a sick kid a little. see less

Purchased this for use with my 2 children under the age of 3. Very quick read. The beep allows my daughter to know when it's done and to look for the color. Taking temperatures at night is easier due to the thermometer having the color coding. see less

I find my self using the thermometer infrequently and so while it worked well intially when the time came to use it again (over a year had passed) I had to buy a new thermometer because there was no where to find replacement batteries. Overall a good product for the price but I would be so much happier if I found a way to purchase replacement batteries. see less

This is a super inexpensive thermometer so if it breaks then it's easy to replace. It has given me very accurate readings and has a different beep (slow to med. to fast) depending on the temperature. It also shows green, yellow, or red light after the reading is complete to let you know if your [child] has a normal, moderate, or high temp. I purchased an expensive $50 temporal thermometer that was telling me my son had a below normal temp. but I could tell he was very hot. After I took a reading on this one instead, it showed me that my son had a fever or 102! I will never use my temporal again and will stick to this one from now on. see less

we needed a good thermometer for frequent use .. we bought several that claimed to be fast and accurate but were not ..in fact we had trouble even finding a good one that did what we wanted at any price ... finally we found the Vicks v912f ... wow what a difference .. it actually does what it claims. dead on accuracy, very nice form factor .. really easy to read and gives visual alerts .. really fast. we gave some to home visit nurses (for Christmas) and they all loved them .. this model sells for a little more than the grocery store types but is certainly much better and worth the difference .. we couldnt be more pleased with this device .. we plan on purchasing more (they make really nice gifts for nurses, new mothers or anyone that needs a reliable thermometer) .. we are a very happy customer . see less

This thermometer is much easier to use than our previous under arm thermometer. You may need to run a few temp checks however to get an average reading. All in all, with a cranky baby this thermometer makes a temp reading easy! see less

I have had this thermometer for over a year and have been using it for charting (basal body temperature) for the past three months or so. I've only had two or three days with the same temp and have been able to clearly distinguish a thermal shift in each of my cycles as well as a clear drop at the end of the cycle. There may be some inconsistency with quality among thermometers, but mine has been great! see less

I use this to take my two month old sons temperature rectally. I am so pleased. It is fast and accurate. I have used it several times because I am a first time mommy and worry all the time. The covers it comes with are great! You don't have to clean after every use! Great price too! Way better than the three other thermometers I over paid for! see less

Used a few times and got very inaccurate results each time. It is now a toy for my two year old to "pretend" play with, since that's all it is good for. Cheap, but still a complete waste of $ see less

My mother in law gave this to us when our twins were sick. It was so hard to take their temps with the under arm thermometer we had. This one is so easy to use it only takes a couple seconds to read the temp. It's so fast baby almost doesn't know what's going on. My only complaint is that it gives different readings every time. I would take the temp in the same ear twice and it would give two different readings. If you're looking for quick ease of use this the the thermometer to get. see less
