Great Features!

I got this about a month or so ago and I'm so very glad that I did. This infrared thermometer is the best I've used yet. It works so very well. It can be used on the forehead or against the ear. Both parts of the body work well. Very fast reading and extremely easy to use. Also easy to read. Some thermometers are hard to read and use,but not this one and for that I'm glad. *I received this product in exchange for my opinion and honest review *

Simple, no frills

The backlit red/yellow/green fever guide makes it easy to see at a glance if you or your child has a fever, think of it as a stoplight, green go (no fever), red stop (fever), yellow proceed with caution (slight fever). Otherwise, this thermometer is pretty no-frills, in some ways that can be a benefit at times making it more user-friendly by taking away unnecessary features. For example, this thermometer recalls your last reading where many recall the last 10 or 20, how often do you need to look back that far? I don't think I've ever used the memory function honestly. A few complaints, it's a little bulky and feels a little cheap. You have to pull pretty hard to get the cap off to take an ear temp and both the top and bottom of the cap have a tiny piece of plastic that sticks out and fits into a hole on either side of the ear piece. This is going to be a pain to line up in the middle of the night in the dark, will possibly break over time, and could have been left off completely. It's really poor design and an otherwise user-friendly product may not be great for people like me, with neuropathy, arthritis, limited hand strength, etc.

Great Thermometer--Read Instructions!

I am so lucky this came just a week or two before I contracted Covid. I started to feel unwell and felt warm. This thermometer has a removable tip which allows it to toggle between an ear and forehead thermometer. I threw away the instructions and panicked when my temp was 105--so fortunately I did some research and realized I was using the in-ear option incorrectly. I was unable to find a specific manual online though, so don't toss them until you're sure it works!

Works great for kids

I get this as a backup thermometers for my family, but its quickly became the one we use all the time. I have two kids with special needs and this thermometer makes it so easy to use on them. It's so good I plan on getting a second one!

Works great!

This thing works great! Super easy to use and with the color display it’s quick to tell if you’re hot or cold :). I like the versatility of being able to use it on your forehead or ear, although I’m not sure I’ll ever use the ear since the forehead works so easy :)

Staple for every household

This is a nice thing to have for anyone with an active job or children or work around children. To protect yourself and others, taking your temp this way is so easy and important. Seems to last a long time and work well.

A great help in these uncertain times

It is very reassuring to get a quick readout on someone's temperature. It works best when fresh batteries are installed. The lighted display makes it easy to read - even in a darkened room. It is also helpful that you can take temperature with an ear probe - especially when you have youngsters in the home.

Works Great

This thermometer works great. We have 5 kids in the house so its nice to be able to quickly check temps without cleaning a mouth piece between use. We mainly got it for our baby, its very easy to use on a baby. Ours is also accurate, we compared to two other thermometers we have and they were within .01 degrees.
