LOVE: 63 NEUTRAL: 34
REGRET: 19 WANT: 55

  • Not as effective as a rectal thermometer but nice to have for quick and easy scanning without the invasive application. Oct 08, 2024

  • This works great and is very accurate! Just be aware it’s a little too big for newborn/infant ears. Jul 29, 2023

  • I love how convenient and easy this is to use and it’s accurate Feb 15, 2023

  • Accurate unlike many other thermometers. It gives temperature 1.2.3 so no fussy baby. Jan 22, 2023

  • Worth the price! So easy to use and our doctors never question the temperature reading we report when saying we used this thermometer Jan 15, 2023

  • Easy to use and accurate thermometer recommended by our pediatrician. Jan 19, 2022

  • Easy to use and comes up with similar temp to regular digital thermometers. Like that there are covers to help keep it clean. Can be used for babies and adults and everyone in between. Jan 05, 2022

  • This is a great thermometer and has been super accurate. It’s quick and easy to use. Jun 09, 2021

  • Doesn't work well, often not accurate. We will stick with the under-the-tongue thermometer. :( Jan 25, 2021

  • Works great and seems to be pretty accurate. The kids do not like when you put it in their ear though so that isn’t the best! Jan 06, 2021

    • Tara T.

    • Mehoopany, Pennsylvania

    Not accurate at all. Would always say my childs temperature was 95 degrees Dec 22, 2020

    • E W.

    • Sunnyvale, California

    This is by far more accurate than the no touch thermometers for the forehead. We purchased this after using the other thermometer which was only useful for babies. Once older, use this. Oct 14, 2020

  • Received this as a registry gift! It's great, but pretty unnecessary. A simple under the armpit thermometer should suffice. Jul 20, 2020

  • My son doesn’t always stay still enough but when he does this gets a pretty accurate reading & is super quick May 01, 2020

    • Toni H.

    • Madison, Mississippi

    This is easy to use and as accurate as you can get with an external reading. The plastic covers/tips are small and definitely a choking hazard. Also, these need to be replaced. The reading is fast Jan 31, 2020

  • We have the newer model and it is somewhat inaccurate but still useful. Jan 05, 2020

  • Not accurate. I can take my son's temp 4x in a row and have a result 1-2 degrees different each time. Nov 20, 2019

  • Very useful thermometer. We use for adults and kids. Sep 11, 2019

  • I have not tried this item on my baby who is not here yet. I plan on checking my temp a couple of times before she arrives. Sep 07, 2019

    • Joan S.

    • Brookfield , Connecticut

    I have had mine for 6 years and it is accurate and reliable. Highly recommend. Feb 08, 2020

  • My two year old does wonderful with this thermometer! It takes his temperature really fast and it is very easy to use! It is on the expensive side. Feb 11, 2019

  • Very accurate and easy to use! This is the same thermometer we use in the emergency department where I work. It was tested for accuracy by our hospital! Jan 05, 2019

  • This is so quick and easy to use. Parents know how hard it is to keep our littles in one spot for long... this is perfect. Accurate. Nov 21, 2018

    • Anne F.

    • Boca Raton, Florida

    Easy to use, hard with a squirmy LO. Temp isn't always accurate, we end up using a rectal thermometer instead. Maybe better for an older child. Oct 26, 2018

  • This is accurate one out of 10 times I use it. Maybe I can't figure out how to angle it to hit my son's ear drum but it was too much of a hassle and I ended buying a forehead scanner Nov 12, 2017

  • this is great because it makes it easy to take baby's temp without needing to take anything off (rectal and armpit) Oct 10, 2017

  • Reads different temp every time Aug 29, 2017

  • This is a must-have for your kiddos. It is quick and accurate. I like the disposable covers that come with this for use. Jun 01, 2017

  • Easy to use and accurate. Has been a lifesaver during late nights when we weren't sure if our kids had fevers. May 29, 2017

  • Works great Jan 25, 2017

    • Katie G.

    • United States of America

    I like this when my LO is cooperating. If she isn't this one isn't the best. May work better for an older baby/toddler. Also if they have a ear ach this thermometers not going to do you any good. Jan 20, 2017

  • It seems to be quite accurate. I also have a rectal temp which shows pretty much the same temp. Takes temp in less than a sec Oct 14, 2016

    • Patti P.

    • United States of America

    Not a huge fan of this, the bit that goes into the ear is rather large, and requiring probe covers is understandable, but the product won't function without one. I prefer our touch-free thermometer. Oct 04, 2016

  • Awsome thermometer!!! Loved this one Sep 17, 2016

    • Lee D.

    • San Francisco, California

    Very easy to use! Tips are very cheap to buy. Pretty accurate and saved my worries so many times when baby got a cold. Very fast reading. Love this! Aug 02, 2016

  • I just dont find this to be accurate.We;re still in rectal temp land, so I might change my mind when she's older Apr 22, 2016

  • Never could get it to take a correct temp. We traded it in for the forehead swipe thermometer . Feb 01, 2016

  • This is wonderful for older kids (babies need rectal temps). Ours has worked well for years and is quick to read out an accurate temp. Feb 01, 2016

  • Love this thermometer and highly recommend. So much easier than trying to take temp orally or via arm pit, The hidden storage compartment for extra tips is even better, Jan 18, 2016

  • Definitely my preferred way of taking temperatures. Even use it myself. Also much less of a fight than trying to use one that goes in the mouth. Jul 13, 2015

  • Does not give consistent ratings on me, but is very quick and convenient. Jul 11, 2015

  • Super fast and easy to get into my squirmy son's ear. Aug 07, 2014

  • Are you good at taking a rectal temp? Me either. And my super wiggly baby makes an armpit temp nearly impossible. This takes literally two seconds, which is crucial when your little one is sick. Jul 31, 2014

    • Erin H.

    • Kentwood , Michigan

    While the temperature isn't always super accurate, this is a great way to find out if I need to take a rectal or if I'm just imagining she has a fever. Jul 29, 2014

  • gives wildly different temperatures, not reliable. Jul 28, 2014

    • Darcy M.

    • United States of America

    We've been very happy with this purchase May 28, 2014

  • This isn't the best for determining temperature in a newborn baby (that's best done under the armpit) but with an older babe, definitely helpful to have a quick reading without much fuss. Mar 16, 2014

  • Used this for the first time when my daughter was really warm. Not sure its 100% accurate, but definitely gives a decent read, only takes 2 seconds to work, and is easy to sneak in! Recommend! Mar 04, 2014

  • Very easy to get a temperature read Feb 13, 2014

  • Easy to use, easy to understand, easy to change the plastic thingy. Sometimes hard to get my daughter to sit still long enough to use it properly, however. Dec 27, 2013
