    very Inaccurate

    terrible thermometer. Over 2 hours this thermometer was started out reading 102 and went up to 104. I have never had a temp of 104 before so I didn't know how it feels but I went to urgent care because of it. when I got there I was 99.5... my temp has started to go down but I brought this thermometer with me to compare and it was still reading 102 when I was actually 99.5

    I like it!

    I love how quick this thermometer is, but you definitely need to take a reading from each ear and kind of average it out. If you are looking for 100% accuracy then this may not be for you but i’ve used it on my baby since birth and it lets me know if I need to give her something for a fever or not and that’s all I’m looking for. The only thing that I actively hate on it is that there is no backlight. When researching thermometers I found this one to be a ok price point, reasonable features, and decent reviews and it has lived up to my expectations.

    Not accurate at all. I clearly felt sick, flushed, and hot. My old braun thermometer said 99.6, which seemed about right and this one said 98.1 and then 98.6.

    Inaccurate

    I’ve had this thermometer for almost a year, I use it often & thought it worked well & was accurate. Found out today when I rechecked my toddlers temp before I took him to his dr’s appt, that it’s not. Upon leaving it read 101.3 degrees, but at the dr’s office 20 mins away, his temp was a normal 98 degrees. The dr suggested I get a new thermometer…

    Stick to a traditional.

    This is a waste of money. It is completely inaccurate. I bought it because I hated putting my toddler through a rectal check. I used it on my husband who wasn’t feeling well and it gave a temp over 105. At the ER they told him it was only 98.

    We feel like it’s accurate but the display doesn’t light up. When you’ve got a sleeping kiddo, you don’t really want to have to turn your phone’s flashlight on to check the temperature.

    So far so good!

    I was honestly on the fence when I ordered this. I was nervous I was going to regret buying it after reading the reviews saying it’s not accurate. I just got it today, because my kiddo is sick. I’ve only tested it on myself, and I tried it probably 10 times, the readings were all very similar! Maybe some don’t work, but thankfully mine seems to work properly. Don’t let the bad reviews scare you away if you’re looking for an accurate thermometer. Plus this one takes a super fast reading, which is helpful with little ones! I would recommend this.

    Does Not Work

    I received it has a baby shower gift and I put it on my registry based on researching other ear thermometer reviews. First of all it does not come on easily, second, it does not read the temp accurately. One second it is 101.4 from the left ear and 99.7 on the right. It has been consistently inconsistent.

    This is wildly inaccurate. I reads two degrees higher and within a minute can read different every time by multiple degrees. Was wondering why I felt fine but it showed a fever. Wish I had checked the other one star reviews before buying.

    INACCURATE

    I’ve been using this for almost 5 years and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s inaccurate. I know that the ear is less accurate than oral, but there shouldn’t be a huge difference. My son’s temp was 102.6 when I took it before the doctor, which is a 10 minute drive with traffic. At the doctor (done orally) it was reading 100.1. There has been plenty of times where it’s been lower at the dr than at home. I will not purchase again.

    Bad Design

    I couldn't agree more with the other review by Chelle W. The new design is awful. It's so hard to get open and it's very awkward. The buttons are ok, but still not as good as your original design. Please go back to your original style thermometer. A light would've been helpful as well. I am surprised you would take that feature away. It doesn't make sense.
