Customer Review: Batteries always dead!
Summary: 3 Stars
I love this thermometer but it seems to go through batteries very quickly. I think that I am going to start taking the batteries out of it when it is not in use. It is really frustrating to grab it to take my baby's temp and have the batteries dead.Customer Review: Inaccurate
Summary: 2 Stars
This thermometer often proves to be unreliable. On more than one occassion my daughter has had a fever and the thermometer read one thing and then we get to the doctor's office (about 1.5 miles from my house) and their's was completely different. Granted they are taking their's rectally, which is most accurate. One instance our Braun read 102 and at the doctors it was 104! When you are talking about a fever this high there is no room for error. It's happened on more than one occassion...now we are on the search for the "perfect" thermometer. I have yet to find it and we are now on thermometer #3.Customer Review: Not the most accurate thermometer
Summary: 2 Stars
FYI...my baby was delivered at 35 weeks causing a stay in the neonatal icu. I was considering purchasing this thermometer before our arrival until I asked a couple of nurses if it was better than the under the arm thermometer that they use. they use the under the arm because it is the most accurate reading. The ear readings can be very inconsistent according to different factors such as which ear they use and position of the ear and lack of steady contact. I will be using the under the arm when my girl gets home. just wanted to pass the info along.Customer Review: Breaks easy and not accurate
Summary: 2 Stars
After purchasing three (call me a slow learner) of these products - and having all of them break - I would not recommend it. The ear piece is temperamental and provides inaccurate readings. Not being able to get an accurate reading when you have a sick child is worse than not having a thermometer! Continually putting a new covering on the ear piece every time you use it is a hassle too. Save yourself the hassle and buy the fever strip stickers or temporal thermometers!Customer Review: Burns Batteries
Summary: 2 Stars
The only reason I am giving this two stars is because it burns through batteries like crazy. I only used this about 4 times within a month and a half and had to replace the batteries. Now, it's been about a month since I replaced the batteries and I've only used it about 2 times. I went to use it the other day and the batteries are already dead, again. I am very disappointed with it!
