Customer Review: Very useful, definitely worth $30!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two boys age 2 and 4 and have gotten A LOT of use out of ours over the past 4 years. Very reliable, useful and durable. It is great to be able to get the same reading as a rectal (the only reading doctors ask for) without the hassle of actually taking it rectally. Or trying to keep track of what different readings mean depending on how you took them (underarm, oral, rectal). As for the folks who have a problem getting an accurate reading -- 1) you just need to make sure you get it in the ear correctly (not difficult) and 2) I take the highest of three readings (which takes seconds). I mean, as a mom and not a doctor, I just need to know if its 101,2 or 3 and whether its going up or going down. (I have never seen a thermometer that would give the exact same reading to the decimal point three times in a row.)Customer Review: Reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had three children and have used this ear thermometer since my son was born almost 9 years ago. Now, I have a newborn and this thermometer is what I plan on using with him as well. It has always given me an accurate reading with my first two children. I never rely on the first reading, so I always give it one more try and it always comes out the same as the first. I've read in these reviews of people having problems with their thermometers, but I've never had a problem. It's simple and easy to use and to take along everywhere with you (just in case). I like this ear thermometer and I plan on using it for years to come with my children as they get older!Customer Review: Works great...
Summary: 5 Stars
This thermometer is great and super quick if you suspect your little one has a fever. Although it is not completely accurate in very young children, it does a fine job of detecting a higher than normal temp. which is all you really need to see (most pediatricians/hospitals use a similar model). I recommend getting a temperature reading from the ear and then, if high (over 100 for under 6 months old, over 104 otherwise) getting a rectal or axillary (underarm) temp for more accuracy, although most times you won't need to. Like others who have posted, I also get three readings and go with the highest.Customer Review: Wonderful thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
This thermometer works great, and is less invasive to your child. It is very accurate when used right. Being a nurse, I had no problem figuring out how to use it properly, but some people seem to have trouble. The directions are easy to understand though. It is lightweight. It works very quickly. I do recommend practicing before your child is sick though so that you know what is normal for them, and how to use the thermometer. My child runs a lower than normal temperature, and you want to know that ahead of time.Customer Review: I love 5 Stars
This is great and works wonderfully. My 3 year old granddaughter was sent home from school with a temp. I had no problem taking her temp with this and checking to see if it went down after her meds. She never fussed or minded me using it either. Her mom has the one that you rub over the forehead and I can never get that one to work properly. This one is terrific.
