Title: Works great
Review: Love this thermometer. Lightweight. Easy to read. Functions well and seems to be accurate compared to our other thermometers we have. So definitely will use this. Just wish it had a small case for it to fit in.

Title: Simple, Easy to Use, No Germs
Review: Really love how easy this thermometer is! It's nice that you do not have to actually insert or place anything on the person who is not feeling well. This helps to avoid passing germs and less clean-up. I do think that this style of thermometer can be less accurate, however, I am finding that this one returns decent results. The reading can fluctuate ~.5 depending on distance from forehead and how long you held it there. The number display on the screen is easy to read and pretty big. Try to keep your hand still so you get good results. After pressing and holding the button for a reading, you will feel a vibration letting you know it took the reading. The actual thermometer can definitely be portable, it's ~5 inches long and fits great in your hand. Good size to fit well in luggage or a purse. I would not trust using this product for accurate results with a newborn baby or infant, but perfect for young adults or adults who can elaborate on how they are feeling. Product runs on two triple A batteries. Worth the money and highly recommend!

Title: Accurate and Convenient Thermometer!
Review: The no-touch design is a game changer! I can take my kids’ temperatures without them even knowing, which makes the whole process so much easier—especially for little ones who are fidgety or don’t want to sit still. It provides instant readings, usually within a second. This is particularly useful when dealing with a cranky child.The digital display is bright and easy to read, even in low light. I appreciate the color-coded indicators (green for normal, yellow for mild fever, and red for high fever) that help me quickly assess the situation.It works well for all ages—adults, kids, and even pets! I’ve used it to monitor everyone’s temperature during flu season, and it’s been super reliable.The sleek and lightweight design makes it easy to store and carry around, perfect for travel or quick checks on the go.

Title: Reliable product and great customer service
Review: I initially had concerns with this forehead thermometer due to inconsistent readings, despite its sleek design and easy to read LED display. However, after reaching out to customer service, they promptly offered a replacement and were very helpful throughout the process. The new thermometer works reliably, and the touchless feature is especially convenient for kids. I appreciate the excellent customer service and am now fully satisfied with my purchase. Thank you!

Title: An inaccurate, unreliable thermometer isn't a usable thermometer at all!
Review: Read all the instructions and used as directed.Readings in someone with a fever were both inaccurate and imprecise (gave a medically dangerous underestimate).Readings in someone with no fever were closer to the truth (moderate overestimate).I also checked it against results from a proven accurate thermometer that is harder to use.Foreheads often are not a good reflection of core temperature (only tympanic and rectal temps are good reflections of core temperature). So, I wasn't expecting perfection but I figured the company had done it's due diligence and was marketing a no touch forehead thermometer because it worked (as in the technology employed had advanced to the point that is was sufficiently accurate for medical decision-making purposes).I would have been happy if the thermometer read a degree lower than core temp but at least did so reliably. If it read 1 degree lower all the time because skin is cooler I would be able to factor that in to my assessment of whether someone needs medical attention or to stay home from social gatherings.However, it gave me wildly different temperature readings when used on the same very feverish person, at the same angle and distance in the same lighting taken within seconds of each other.I compared it against a proven accurate household utility thermometer that reads packed ice water correctly as 32F (0 Celsius) and full boil water as 212F (100 Celsius) very consistently as well as correctly measuring a mixture of equal parts of the two. I also compared it to another older oral digital medical thermometer that has tolerable but less impressive accuracy (had to use armpit and oral for these because the utility thermometer has a pointy metal tip that is unsuitable for any other body part - so these should be higher but not 2.5-3 degrees difference).Here is a list of some of the readings:Vetted Thermometer: 103.6 This product: 101.8Vetted Thermometer: 104.2 This product: 100.4 (almost categorizing a serious fever as a non fever!)Vetted Thermometer: 97.5 This product: 98.6Vetted Thermometer: 97.2 This product: 98.7Vetted Thermometer: 97.6 This product: 99.6Vetted Thermometer: 98.0 This product: Lo errorI have no use for a thermometer that is only modestly accurate when someone doesn't have a fever and wildly inaccurate when someone does have a fever. Errors ranged from a minimum of 1 degree to almost 3 degrees. What use is that?This is not the sort of thing any person wants to be dealing with when they, their children or spouse is very sick.I see by review analysis of this product that"8,572 customers mention "Accuracy" 5,233 positive 3,339 negative"How on Earth does a thermometer that is found to be inaccurate by nearly 40% of users have a product rating over 4 stars?Some even commented that "it works well but isn't accurate" !!!An inaccurate thermometer works about as "well" as a car that doesn't move or a cell phone that only dials random numbers!Perhaps it is a severe quality control issue and half of them really do work better but there are many reviews from those who tried replacements of this product with no luck as well.If you do buy it, I'd suggest testing it out on both ends of its functional temperature range (around 97 degrees to 107 degrees) within 30 days. I bought it as a suggested item because I knew I should have another in the house and can't even return it because we didn't have any fevers to test it on for 2 months and the return window closed.Really, I would suggest finding a legit tympanic thermometer and just embrace the annoyance of probe covers because it may not even be possible to get a truly valid reading using infra-red on a feverish forehead that is actively engaged in evaporative cooling.In contrast, tympanic membranes don't sweat and the ear canal limits cooling air flow while the probe is inserted; also, there is less interference from possible environmental infra-red light interference. So there are at least three features which would help lead to a more accurate reading using the tympanic method. (some tympanic models require probe covers but if you don't like this type of plastic waste you can just reuse a probe cover after cleaning it with alcohol & write individuals initials on the base of the cover).

Title: super easy to use and very accurate
Review: I love how easy this thermometer is to use and how accurate it reads the temperature! I needed a new thermometer because my other one was very old and didn't work well. this one was definitely worth the buy and as a bonus it is/looks aesthetically pleasing.

Review: L'affichage est très approximatif car, même après plusieurs prises de température au même endroit, vous aurez des températures différentes. Mais bon, nous arrivons à voir plus ou moins quelle est la température et donc voir si on a de la fièvre. Le mieux est de viser la tempe pour avoir un meilleur relevé.

Review: The good: it works. The readings are consistent. Some people complained they are inaccurate – well, I can’t say whether they are or aren’t, but they are consistent when I try a few times. Which sometimes I have to do, because it requires very specific distance from the skin in a very specific spot.The vibrating is very handy. When I had Covid I would check my temperature and honestly had no energy to drag myself to the mirror, so I would just sort of hover it around the spot until the thermometer vibrated and I knew that was it.No clue how long the battery last, but so far it looks like the answer is ‘forever’. If I didn’t sometimes have to try up to eight times it would be an instant 5*.
