This takes a temp quickly and easily. However, it completely stopped working in under a year so it's definitely pricey for the quality.

Easy to use, quick. But for $45, you think they could've put a backlight for the display. Considering returning this.

The box was open upon pick up at the store. When I got it out of the box it was scratched, missing the batteries, ear covers and was given to me in my order. Target your quality and service is very much going backwards and I am loosing interest in your service.

Disappointing - 2 months ago
This is a good product but I am writing the review I wish I had read before choosing. Giving 4 stars because it's easy to use and has been able to tell us when baby does or does not have a fever. Unfortunately as my infant got older, he started to hate having this put in his ear. At 13 months, he absolutely will not sit still to take his temp, and we have to hold his head while he is hysterically crying. Apparently this is very common, and I had no idea. So at this point I wish I had just gone with a forehead thermometer. Even if those are less accurate, it would be much easier and it's very hard for me to get an accurate read with this one anyway since my kiddo won't stop moving. Hoping once he gets older it will become more useful again!

Momofcrazykids - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
I was told by our doctor that ear readings are more accurate than fore head ones. Does what it’s suppose to do. This is our second after a couple years because our first seemed to disappear. I saw some mixed reviews but if you’re changing the filter you should be good, never had an issue.

kweenxtine - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
So deceiving. I thought this item was great. It seemed to read each temp on my kids. Yesterday the baby felt warm. This thermometer read 98.9. I just felt like that was super off. Ran a rectal temp on her and it came back 103.5!!! This is a piece of crap. I’m so glad I checked again with another thermometer. How many parents wouldn’t know that this could be that wrong?! That is so scary!! I’m so disappointed because I really needed a thermometer like this for my 4 year old but now I don’t trust it.

Poor updates but still the most accurate
3 out of 5 stars

Chelle W - 9 months ago
This is still the most accurate brand we have tried, but they’ve updated it and made it less user friendly. Our ancient Braun has a better shape and larger, easier buttons to find in the dark. It is even more comfortable in the ear since the new one has bulk that presses the covers against your ear. And as I learned today when I was the one with fever, I couldn’t get this new model apart to take my temp. It was like it was fused together. I can use the old model one handed due to the indentation on the holster. Second issue, still no back light or way to turn off the beep? Come on!! Lastly, the holder for refills isn’t as good as before, and if your kid rips the box ( ! ) there is now a crease they can fall out of / get dirty through. Like I said, still the most accurate, just wish they’d have left it alone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a braun ear thermometer years ago and I know this will as good if not better than the one I had. As of now I haven’t had to use it but with cold rainy weather I’m glad I have it. I like that’s it digital.
