Impressed at first...not anymore
I got this thermometer when my son was a month old. It was great; I loved it. But then this past week my son was sick and I was using it. I knew it wasn't right because it said my son was 99.4, but he felt ALOT hotter than that. I got him into the clinic and packed my thermometer with me. When I got to the clinic he was 104.5. I used mine again right after the nurse left the room and it read 99.3. NOT GOOD! My son ended up in the hospital and I think we could have caught it sooner if this darn thing had worked. I'm gonna try to find something else that is hopefully reliable.

Great features, good price, unreliable readings.
This looked like an excellent product - just what we needed for our preemie twins, but we could never get verifiable results. Check their temp 3 times, get three different results. I even tried it on myself several times. In the ear seemed to possibly work, but their ears are too tiny to that, plus they tend to move a lot.

The features are great and it's a good size/shape for easy usage. I just can't use a product for my kids I can't trust.

Great Thermometer
Found the meter reading quite accurate in comparision to the traditional one. Very fast readings and very convinient to carry around. Highly recommended.

No issues so far....
I've been using this as an adult theremometer before my daughter is born. The caliber has given me no issues, it took less than 5 minutes to set up, the voice sounds are very easy to turn off, and the LED screen and clear. Results are up within seconds.

Poorly calibrated, annoying "talk" feature.
In my experience ear thermometers generally read a little high, but this one was ridiculous: it repeatedly spat out temperatures in the 105 degree range, and we tested it against other thermometers that were giving us normal temperatures in the 98-99 degree range. That's some bad calibration, and there is no way to reset it.

Also, the "talk" feature is really annoying. The voice has an odd New York accent, which is fine but it scared the heck out of my nine-month-old daughter. You can turn the "talk" function off, but it resets itself for each use and defaults to being on. That's the last thing you want when you go to take a baby's temperature in the middle of the night.

We may have received a defective model, but we are returning it and replacing it with the Mabis Healthcare Instant Ear Thermometer, which doesn't have the forehead option or the talk feature, but works just fine.

MOBI Ear/ Forhead Digital Thermometer
My 2 yr old daughter would freak out if she saw me coming with the traditional thermometer. She would scream if we tried to take her temperature. We went everywhere trying to purchase a forehead/ ear thermometer, but could not find one that had decent reviews. My husband found this one on-line and we ordered it because of the good reviews it had and the great price. We have only used it about 6 times over the course of a month, but it has changed everything. My daughter now runs to me when I suggest we take her temperature. She even says "let me do it." It works great.
