Very good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to use, it takes two batteries. I love it because it's small and you can take it anywhere, whether you're traveling or anywhere else. It's easy to carry in your bag or anywhere else. It's very good quality and looks durable. It comes with instructions, very good precision, and the ergonomics are excellent. The grip is perfect and it lasts a long time; it has good performance. Very good product.

Simple!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun forehead thermometer is something every parent should have in their sick supplies fir cold and flu season! It’s quick, simple, and accurate. The beep is a tad loud so be mindful of light sleepers if you’re checking temps at nap time like I usually do!

Easy to Use and Accurate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thermometer is very easy to use and gives fast, accurate readings. The setup was simple right out of the box, and the user interface is clear and beginner friendly. I really like the color coded screen because it makes it easy to understand the temperature at a glance. It’s gentle on the forehead, safe for kids and adults, and easy to clean and maintain. It also has a helpful memory feature that saves previous readings, which makes it easy to track temperature changes. It’s very lightweight and portable, so it’s great for travel or keeping in a diaper bag. Overall, I’m really happy with it and feel it’s a reliable tool for my family.

I didn't have the best luck with this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really want to love this. It has simple enough instructions, and the display and color change on fever level is perfect. I just can't stand behind its accuracy. It needs to be pressed flat against the forehead in between the eyebrows and hold very still. Seems simple enough, but not as easy as others I've tried, and it comes up a different temperature each time. I had to work very hard for it to have an accurate reading close to the one that showed on the thermometer I usually rely on. Nice concepts, but not practical without an accurate reading.

Simple and basic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally didn’t find this thermometer to be all that great. I’ve used several forehead thermometers before, and most of them also function as ear thermometers. This one is strictly for forehead readings, and it takes longer to get a result than others I’ve tried. If you just need a basic, simple thermometer, this could work—especially for adults. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for kids. It is easy to use, and I do like the large display and the color-changing feature that indicates different temperature ranges. But as a mom of a young child, I find myself reaching for a different thermometer, especially when I need quick and accurate readings during a high fever.

Great for babies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know how much i needed to upgrade my thermometer until I got this. I'm upgrading from a standard thermometer to this. So much easier and more accurate, especially with babies and moody sick toddlers.

Mom approved!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks for sending my family the Braun Sensian Contact 5. This is a huge upgrade from our regular thermometer 🌡️ I love that it includes everything you need including the batteries so that you can use it right away. We did a test with the whole family and found it was really accurate. Love & trust it for when my littles are under the weather. The packaging is great and the cover keeps the sensor clean if you don’t want the box. All in all would highly recommend this thermometer.

Perfect for cold and flu season!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been looking to replace our basic mouth thermometer and this was the perfect upgrade we needed! Super lightweight, easy to use, and accurate! Feels very well made like the rest of their products. Great price for the quality. Easy to toss in a to-go bag for trips out of town just in case too. Literally takes about 2 seconds to take their temp so no more struggling with my toddler to sit still long enough for it lol

Helpful to have on hand!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s always a good idea to have a thermometer on hand that’s straightforward to use. This Braun thermometer is easy to use, accurate, and conveniently includes 2 batteries! I love that it comes with a protective cap, is color coded for easy readings, and how quickly it is able to read the temperature (especially helpful when check the temperature of fidgety kids). It seems very sturdy and durable. It’s lightweight and perfect for tossing in a bag when on the go!
