This thermometer is designed for both adults and children, offering quick and non-invasive temperature readings through forehead and ear modes. Guests appreciate its ease of use, large display, and the ability to store multiple readings. However, many have reported inconsistencies in accuracy, which can be concerning for monitoring fevers. Overall, it is a convenient tool for families, especially during cold and flu seasons, but guests should be aware of potential reliability issues.

Inaccurate
I wish I had tested within enough time to return it. Even after reading the instructions and keeping it at the same distance from the forehead, every result is different. It gave me 99.5, 98.0, 98.9, then 97. Useless.

Forehead: If this is your first time using the thermometer it is best to wait 10-15 minutes to let it adjust to room temperature. Before taking a temperature make sure the forehead is clean, dry, and free of any hair, dust, or first as this may lead to an inaccurate measurement. Press the “start” button to turn the thermometer on. Place the thermometer against the forehead and press the “start” button to take the temperature. The thermometer will beep (if the sound is on) when it is finished. The thermometer will end the session with a temperature reading of the room. Ear: You can also take your temperature using the ear probe. This method is preferred for adults as it’ll have a more accurate and consistent reading. Take off the conversation cover, the thermometer will then enter ear mode. Slightly angle the thermometer and then carefully insert the probe into the ear canal. Do no force the probe in as this could cause damage to the ear canal. Press the “start” button to turn the thermometer on. It will then display the measured temperature on the screen. The ear probe should be cleaned after each usage. Follow cleaning instructions. The thermometer will end the session with a temperature reading of the room.

This thing is so in accurate- it gave a variety of temps both ear and temporal mode from 97 - 102 F . How can they sell this when it’s so unreliable? Doesn’t it need to pass some sort of inspection ?

Guessing would be more accurate. And was.
More e-waste pushed out as a health item to make a quick buck. This could legitimately put someone in danger due to how random and low it reads. It worked once, then started giving random readings. Today I know I have a fever, and forehead readings are 98.4 - 99.7 while ear readings are all in the 97 range. This could put a child or vulnerable adult in the hospital if someone were to trust the readings.

Unreliable
This thermometer is extremely in accurate. It will give three different readings within 30 seconds, and not small differences, like at least four degrees. It also said my daughter had a 97degree temp while she bit to the touch and sweating. Very unreliable.

Thank you for bringing this up. For the most accurate readings, please follow the instructions for test location and method and allow at least 2 minutes between repeated readings. If issues persist, Target Guest Services can assist with next steps.

Doesn’t work. Doesn’t give accurate readings at all. Tells our normal temperature is 91. Sometime jumps to 110. So really you have no idea what your temperature actually is. Can take a reading one minute apart and get completely different results.

Useless and waste of money
This is a useless thermometer. It only ever reads 97.7, unless you have an actual fever, then it says 98.6. I’ve tried troubleshooting and using both the forehead and in-ear pieces, I’ve tried it on numerous family members to the same result. Waste of money.

DO NOT BUY Essentially useless. Hard to use and when it does work it'll tell you your kid is at 94.8 degrees, and on the very next reading two seconds later, they're 101.4. DO NOT BUY

Inaccurate and unreliable
The temperature readings were inaccurate. The temperature on the forehead ranged from 97.5 to 103.3 degrees, and the ear reading wasn't accurate either. As a result, we went to the urgent care clinic for nothing.

I’m sorry to hear you had trouble using the thermometer. I know how frustrating that can be. Please rest assured that when the device starts up, it briefly shows a half-battery icon as part of its routine check. This doesn’t reflect the actual battery level and doesn’t mean the battery is low or running out.

This thermometer sucks. Thought it would be good but nope. Same issue here, temp all over. I’m getting readings of 98, then 100, or 102. Ear and forehead.
