DO NOT BUY!Sunday, April 10, 2005
This product does not work. It does not fit properly even in my ear, so to get an accurate reading on an infant, yeah right. Not good at all!

No GoodTuesday, February 15, 2005
This thing never ever gives an accurate reading! Sometimes it says 92.3 other times it is even lower! I tried using it just the other day, my daughter is very sick right now it read 94.3 I get her to my moms and we do it the good old fashioned way and it was actually 103. It is not worth buying.

Pediatrician said it didn't work!Monday, February 14, 2005
Do not buy this!
I had this thermometer for 8 months and never got an accurate reading. I took it to my son's pediatrician to ask if I was using it wrong and she told me that it was junk and you can't get a reading for it.
I returned it shortly after that.

This item is TERRIBLE!Monday, January 31, 2005
I bought this thermometer looking for a quick and easy way to take my daughter's temperature when she was ill and it has never worked properly. Although I like how the protective sheilds are stored within the unit itself, it is hard to get them to stay on, and putting them on is a joke. Most importantly though, is the fact that the unit never gives a correct temp. I would suggest the digital ear thermometer by Braun if you you would like an ear thermometer, or just buy a cheap rectal thermometer for your little one. They are more accurate - and that's the temp. the pediatrican will ask you for anyhow. Don't waste your money on this one!
