  • I love how fast this thermometer is! It's perfect for getting an accurate underarm temp from a squirmy baby. The battery does not last long, though. Mar 08, 2024

    If you have small kids, you know a fast reading thermometer is a MUST because they do not sit still. This is my favorite thermometer, next to the one that is similar but can be used rectally for baby. Dec 05, 2023

  • Great thermometer Aug 13, 2023

    Good for underarm temperature! Jun 15, 2023

  • Those forehead scanning thermometers are nice for a quick screening, but you need one of these types to get the most accurate (rectal) temperature. The quick read ones like this are the best. Mar 25, 2023

    Fast and accurate!! Apr 05, 2022

  • Love this thermometer! Aug 20, 2021

    Very fast and accurate Dec 22, 2020

  • This is a great thermometer for older kids. Pretty quick read and battery lasts a long time. Aug 27, 2020

  • We have three of these thermometers. I love that it lights up red when there's a fever. Mar 26, 2020

  • I feel like of the three thermometers we have, this one is the most accurate. Mar 06, 2020

  • Inexpensive and easy to use, as a RN I have seen the fancy thermometers but ended up going with this one, did not disappoint and easy for all to use, fast results. Feb 02, 2020

    I like these thermometers as they are quick and easy to use. The only trouble I had was that I couldn’t find the battery for a replacement. Sep 25, 2019

  • This is super easy to use. It is a little hard to turn off. It works quick and is big so easy to read. Sep 19, 2019

  • This reads so fast!!!! A great product for the diaper bag. Aug 22, 2019

  • Keep it in my diaper bag at all times. Very simple and quick to use thermometer! Aug 04, 2019

  • Had this for years, and it works great! Can't beat the price. Trying a different brand that's not quite as good. I'll be switching back after it wears out. Jul 19, 2019

  • This is very quick and accurate. I love that it glows so you can read it in the dark! Jun 18, 2019

  • This has served its purpose! It’s sometimes a little finicky about reading temperature of you don’t turn it on and let it “reset” before attempting to take another reading. May 21, 2019

    This thermometer gives a very fast reading. Have tested it against other thermometers and seems to be very accurate. Apr 18, 2019

  • Simple to read and easy to use. I like that you can set to different ages. Helps take the guess work out of a fever. Feb 09, 2019

  • Quick reads are necessary for tiny wiggly babies. Nice that the display color changes to red if the temp is too high. Easy to use rectally for our infant daughter. Jan 11, 2019

    This thermometer is my favorite! It's fast, it's easy to see the results, and it's accurate! Sep 13, 2018

  • I have always felt confident in the reading on this thermometer. It is the only one I measure against our adult one that was always accurate. Sep 04, 2018

  • Fast reading but reading never seems to be accurate. I’d rather have a thermometer that takes a little longer but is more accurate Aug 20, 2018

    • Jamie G.

    Birth center + pediatrician both recommended this thermometer. It seems to work well, and super fast! Aug 13, 2018

    Very quick reading. Seems accurate, but I have not tested. I love the color coding for the temperatures as it take the guesswork out of if I should be worried. Jul 27, 2018

  • Gives you a temperature right away, doesnt lag. Great for rectal and underarm. Ive tried other types and this oldschool is the best. I like how it lights up depending on the child temp. Jul 06, 2018
