  • 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

    • Janna C.

    • San Juan Capistrano, California

    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

  • 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

  • It is easy to use but isn't always the most accurate. Mar 08, 2020

    • Katie G.

    • United States of America

    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

  • Not super accurate. Sep 25, 2019

  • 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

  • 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

    • Elly S.

    • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • This is so easy to use, super accurate and fast. We use the same one at the hospital I work at. Aug 05, 2018

  • 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

  • The way to go when you need to take little ones temps. Easy to use. We love it. May 10, 2018

  • Difficult to get a 8 month old baby to remain still to get a reading. Apr 08, 2018

    • Lael G.

    • Temecula, California

    Works great!! Feb 16, 2018

  • 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

  • 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

  • This super easy to use but I’m not sure how accurate it is for infants. Nov 14, 2017

  • 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

  • This product is very difficult to get a good reading on. Always ended up needing a second reading from another device. Nov 06, 2017

  • Very easy to use. Convenient when you want to take your child's temperature when they are asleep. Nov 01, 2017

  • 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

  • This is great! Oct 24, 2017

    • Allie P.

    • United States of America

    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

  • Haven't perfected it to make it work regularily Sep 22, 2017

  • It's hard to get a good read if you have a squirmy kid but it's fast and simple! Aug 03, 2017

  • 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

  • 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

  • Best thermometer out there. Husband works in a hospital and said this is what we need! Jul 22, 2017

  • 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

  • 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

    • Nicole C.

    • CHAMBERSBURG, Pennsylvania

    Love it. I bought several before finding this one and it is reliable! Jun 07, 2017

  • 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

  • Not a fan. It didn't give an accurate temperature reading so we returned it. Apr 20, 2017

  • Love this easy to use then under the armpit. Quick swipe on the head. Results quick. Feb 22, 2017

  • Easier than the alternative. No one wants to make a sick child upset and this helps. Feb 13, 2017

  • 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

  • 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

    • Lauren S.

    • 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

  • 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

  • Great for older kids and adults. Drs don't reccomend for infants. Dec 19, 2016

  • 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

  • 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

  • Super easy to use. Quick, painless thermometer. Dec 04, 2016
