Purchased at Costco and very accurate and easy do use. Babies even love to pick up and use on each other. Too cute. Sep 11, 2021

Accuracy matters with thermometers and this one is that. Gives us peace of mind that we can take his temp. and know if he has a fever. Feb 02, 2021
Granville, Ohio
I've tried multiple thermometers and this is by far my favorite. It is simple to use, doesn't bother my baby a bit, and provides consistent accurate temperature readings! Nov 05, 2020

Inconsistent readings. I read and re read the instructions to make sure I was doing it correctly but just couldn't get the same reading twice. Also super hard to do on a slightly older,squirmy baby. Mar 31, 2020
Rosendale, Wisconsin
It is easy to use but isn't always the most accurate. Mar 08, 2020

This doesn’t give the most accurate temp. It’s always saying I’m running a fever but my oral one says otherwise. It will also tell me my kids don’t have a fever when they really do Dec 17, 2019
Rives Junction, Michigan
Not super accurate. Sep 25, 2019
Conroe, Texas
Easy to use and clean. Great to quickly check if baby has a fever at all before you go to all the hassle for a more accurate reading. Jun 24, 2019
Sioux Falls , South Dakota
This is okay. I find that it is a little unreliable and I someone switch it to celcius without trying! I would just go with a basic aural or axillary one next time. May 19, 2019
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
We found this horribly inaccurate and difficult to get consistent temperatures. Save your money and go with a different thermometer that works. Apr 23, 2019

This product has its pros and cons so I have remained neutral about it. It’s easy to use and great for younger kids who won’t use an oral thermometer. However, I’m unsure if it’s accuracy. Apr 04, 2019
Erie, Pennsylvania
This is incredibly difficult to use if your kid squirms and the reading is always inaccurate. It’s also difficult to use. I refer our Bruan ear thermometer! Jan 21, 2019
Penacook, New Hampshire
Easy to use and clean, and I love that it stores up to 3 past temperatures. The readings can be incorrect and can be off. We use this first before a rectal reading. Dec 17, 2018
Sanderson, Texas
Just bought this cause our old one broke. I love it!! It’s quick & easy. It’ll save temps. It’s perfect for all little ones. Dec 13, 2018
Memphis, Tennessee
Easy to use and worth the price. We have found it to be very accurate and gave us piece of mind when baby has RSV. Nov 29, 2018
madison, Wisconsin
Gives a different reading with every swipe, and the button is touchy. Overall works but you have to get the hang of using it Sep 19, 2018
Stillwater, Minnesota
This is so easy to use, super accurate and fast. We use the same one at the hospital I work at. Aug 05, 2018
Kirkland, Washington
Easy to use but can't tell that readings are always accurate. I typically do 2-3 readings and often see different inconsistent results, either I moved it too slow or too fast or not touching the skin. May 27, 2018
Doylestown, Ohio
The way to go when you need to take little ones temps. Easy to use. We love it. May 10, 2018
Minneapolis , Minnesota
Difficult to get a 8 month old baby to remain still to get a reading. Apr 08, 2018
Temecula, California
Works great!! Feb 16, 2018
Tuttle , Oklahoma
I love how easy this is to use. You simple scan it over your forehead down to your neck and it gives you a reading, that simple! Feb 04, 2018
Altoona, Pennsylvania
Super easy and fast to use. Great when you dont want to wake the baby to take the temp. This is every parents must. Dec 31, 2017
Glendora , California
This super easy to use but I’m not sure how accurate it is for infants. Nov 14, 2017
Hoboken, New Jersey
Very easy to use but I would recommend using it on an older child as rectal thermometers are best measurements for infants. Nov 07, 2017
Englewood, Ohio
This product is very difficult to get a good reading on. Always ended up needing a second reading from another device. Nov 06, 2017
Reston, Virginia
Very easy to use. Convenient when you want to take your child's temperature when they are asleep. Nov 01, 2017
01520, Massachusetts
Easy to use and I like how it remembers the last few temps. Also it's a fast way to take a temp Oct 26, 2017
Suffolk, Virginia
This is great! Oct 24, 2017

Difficult to use and inaccurate readings. I am never sure what temperature my baby is because every time I glide it across her head it comes up with different readings! Oct 18, 2017
Princeton, Wisconsin
Haven't perfected it to make it work regularily Sep 22, 2017
Daphne, Alabama
It's hard to get a good read if you have a squirmy kid but it's fast and simple! Aug 03, 2017
Plover, Wisconsin
This I thought seemed like a good purchase something that would be easy to use. I was wrong. I can never seem to get it to do a fast and quick reading, or even turn on fast. Jul 31, 2017
Los Angeles , California
I purchased, but luckily have yet to use. We use temporal thermometers at my clinic and they've been good so far. It's nice to have a reliable thermometer on hand! Jul 25, 2017
El Paso, Texas
Best thermometer out there. Husband works in a hospital and said this is what we need! Jul 22, 2017
Richardson, Texas
Worked okay. We would always test every human in the room to try and see if it was accurate. Seemed off to me and expensive. Jul 21, 2017
Oak Hills, California
I loved the convenience of this thermometer, but I hate to say for me there was too much variance with user error. I never felt like I was getting an accurate reading Jul 07, 2017
CHAMBERSBURG, Pennsylvania
Love it. I bought several before finding this one and it is reliable! Jun 07, 2017
OSBORN, Missouri
Makes getting there temp easier. You don't have to hasel getting a thermometer under there tonge or anywhere else. One swipe on the forehead and your good May 16, 2017
Willmar, Minnesota
Not a fan. It didn't give an accurate temperature reading so we returned it. Apr 20, 2017
Depew, New York
Love this easy to use then under the armpit. Quick swipe on the head. Results quick. Feb 22, 2017
Orange Park, Florida
Easier than the alternative. No one wants to make a sick child upset and this helps. Feb 13, 2017
East Peoria, Illinois
The temperature is not very accurate. Was very disappointed. I even tested on myself. One time it says you have a fever and a minute later it's normal. Feb 05, 2017
Edinburg, Texas
After going through several other thermometers, we found this one. Love that we don't have to move or wake the baby out o take his temperature. It's fast, easy to use, and accurate. Jan 26, 2017
Chester Springs, Pennsylvania
We bought this for the baby and I ended up using it myself too during a bought of mastits - a quick once over of the directions and its easy to use! Jan 02, 2017
Boston, Massachusetts
I had big hopes for this product. Easy to use without upsetting the baby. Only problem is that it seems to be almost a full degree off from any rectal temperatures. Noticed the temp jumps all over. Dec 29, 2016
Grantsville, Utah
Great for older kids and adults. Drs don't reccomend for infants. Dec 19, 2016
Los Angeles, California
This does not work for infants! I always use Vicks rectal thermometer because the Exergen I have overestimates the temp by several degrees. Dec 13, 2016
Coal Valley, Illinois
Great thermometer. I have had no problems with inconsistent or incorrect readings and this is much easier to use than a regular thermometer especially with a sick child Dec 05, 2016
