The only thermometer we use now!

We owned 2 other thermometers before buying this one and never trusted them. Who has time to figure out how many degrees to add for under arm, etc. when your baby is ill and cranky? With just a simple swipe, this thermometer quickly, painlessly and accurately gives you the right temp with no conversions necessary.

Yes, as others have suggested, you must be a little more careful when taking the temp as the entire 'cap' needs to be placed directly on the skin when swiping. Minor lifts will result in minor deviations in temperature. However, unless you really lift it away from the skin, the readings do not vary by much (< .5 degrees Farenheit). I agree that while you have a trashing child, this may not be as simple a task as you might expect, but what's the alternative? Holding down that same trashing child to take an accurate rectal reading? No thanks! :)

I only have 2 complaints about this product. 1) The digital readout is not lit so if you're taking the temp in a dim room (like while your baby is sleeping), you can expect to bring a flashlight to read the results. 2) The cover for the thermometer is very easily lost as it is simply a plastic cap that is detached from the unit itself.

Otherwise, I'm a complete fan of this product, and we've chucked all other thermometers in our household. Even my husband and I use it on ourselves - it's a lot quicker than placing a thermometer under my tongue! :)

Finally! A thermometer I can use!

I tried the Braun ear thermometer, and I just couldn't hold it in my baby's ear for long enough, it always read too low. I noticed my doctor using Exergen (professional version), so looked for the home version. It takes only a few seconds and reads much more accurately than the ear versions.

great product

the product is very easy to use and when we use it on the baby,the baby does not fuss like a ordinaly themometer

Fine, but won't replace a standard thermometer.

This seems to be better for quick checks of a baby's temperature rather than a real replacement for a standard digital thermometer. It is difficult to hold it even with the forehead surface, and frequently gives me different, or very low, readings regardless of how I use it, or which instructions I follow. I ended up buying a small digital rectal thermometer for use when I *really* need to know the temperature, which makes this a pretty expensive gimmick.

I decided to keep mine, but I wouldn't buy it again. Maybe the next generation will be better.
