BraunThermoScan 7 Digital Ear Thermometer, Age-Adjusted Fever Guidance, Baby and Infant Friendly, No. 1 Brand Recommended by Pediatricians, FSA and HSA Eligible

I really like this thing. After getting really sick, I realized that I needed a proper temperature thermometer. Something reliable and accurate, unlike the cheap ones I had lying around. So I took the plunge and spent more than I intended.After a few weeks of use: excellent build quality, easy to use, comfortable in the hand, large readable display with backlight, accurate (very important), memory recall and includes a protective case. Very happy and would buy again.WARNING: This comes with the two AA batteries, which is a nice touch. However, they are Duracell, aka "DuraLeaks" which have a notorious reputation for leaking. Do not leave batteries of ANY brand, in ANY electronic device that will not be regularly used. Leakage is a very real problem.

Good baby thermometers are so hard to find. Once we were ready to graduate from the rectal thermometer we began purchasing different models. This is the only thermometer that was consistent and worked easily each time we needed it. I like the age profiles that you can change. Also the color changing screen is very nice especially for those overnight fever checks. You don’t have to think about if they’re running a fever.I couldn’t recommend this more.

This is a great gadget—an absolute must-have for any family with young kids. It gives accurate results in just a few seconds. You can even use it while your child is sleeping without disturbing them, which makes it incredibly convenient for monitoring temperature.I’m now buying it as a gift for all my friends who are expecting a baby or already have children but don’t yet own one. Highly recommended!

Result in seconds, easy to use. My toddler get used to it after a few times of use. Small and lightweight enough to bring when travel. No complaint with functionality. Just don't let small kid play with it, the batteries cover opened easily when dropped which could be a choking /poison hazard

CR rated this at 92, its highest of home thermometers. It is simple to use and very nice.The negative: while CR rated it accurate, it was not perfect. My old thermometer said 99.1 It said 101.4 and 20-30 minutes later at Mayo hospital, their temperature reading was 98.1. We did take 1 Tylenol.

I think we went through 5 or 6 other thermometers ranging from the speed-gun type, to contact, non-contact, you name it. Finally I spent a bit more to get the Braun because that is what the doctors office uses and we never looked back.Yes, you have to place it in their ear and yes, you'll need to buy the plastic tips eventually, but what you're getting back is accuracy when you need it most. Most of the others had wildly variable readings - when your kid has a 101 temperature and your other thermometer is showing ,"98, wait, 103, no, it's 99.6" then you'll regret buying the cheap ones or the fancy "touchless" one etc. I give this to new parents as presents all the time to save them going through what we went through.

Very reliable. Easy to use on child. Worth the value.

My little dude is pretty sensitive to having his temperature taken, especially in the ear. For whatever reason, he does not mind this thermometer. He enjoys looking at the different colors and "helping" with the child age selection. The read is fast and accurate (cross-referenced with other thermometers we have which we know to be accurate). This is absolutely worth paying the extra $20-$30 more than your average no-name thermometer as the quality is far superior.
