This product did not do what it is supposed to do. I followed all the instructions, including waiting 2 minutes between tests and allowing it to adjust to room temperature. It consistently failed to report a temperature of greater than 98.7º, while an oral thermometer simultaneously registered 100.9º.

Check Amazon's policies; thermometers are NOT returnable! Save your money, don't waste your time - avoid this thermometer!

I bought this thermometer to use on my 2 boys who are wiggly toddlers. Although it is pretty fast, it is completely inaccurate in its readings. I learned my lesson, you get what you pay for!

This little guy is nothing fancy, but does the job. You basically push the power button, wait for the beep, hold it to temple, wait for the next beep and you have your temperature! Pretty accurate. No complaints from me. ;)

I really love this thing. I carry this around in my pocket at work (I am a CNA) and aside from the button being a little too easy to bump and turn on (probably because it was not designed to be carried in a pocket) I love it. Fast accurate readings, very super easy to use, and I love that it is small enough to fit into my scrubs pocket and not be a pain in the rear while I am bumping through my day. I would buy another if anything happened to this one without hesitation.

It was time to replace my former digital thermometer, and when I saw this one today while out shopping, I thought it was a really great idea. I liked the fact that I would not have to continue buying probe covers.
When I tried the thermometer out today on my sick daughter, I found that it was very simple to use...and then I compared the temperature to the one on another old thermometer. There was a difference of .5 degrees. I tried comparing the two again, using them at the same time, and there was a difference of a whole degree. Another try (after waiting a few minutes as instructed by pkg directions), and the difference between the two was .7 degrees. If the readouts had been exactly the same difference each time, I would keep this thermometer and always adjust for the difference, but since the readout was inconsistent each time, I will be returning it. Sure wish I could keep this. Perhaps improvements will be made at some time. It could be that I got a bad one since there are several positive reviews on this product. If you purchase, make sure you will be able to return it if it doesn't work out.

I work in Home Care and visit many homes a day. This thermometer is very accurate, fast, and easy to read. Highly recommend for the price.

this product works great very easy to use and fast hold on temple for 7 seconds
thats it for anybody with small kids it great!!

This thermometer works fine....it's easy to use and the instant temperature reading is much better than having to wait for the digital reading on my old thermometer!

I purchased two of these after I visited ADC's website and saw that among other features it has a backlite. Well, I was surprised when I received them and NO BACKLIT display! I wrote to ADC and received a reply that there is a mistake on their site (in two instances where the unit is described) and that they are sorry for the confusion. If I had know I would not have purchased the unit (one was for a 78 year old). I made this known, but they did not even bother to reply. The unit does work besides this, but then that should be expected. No more ADC for me!

I have looked at other temporal thermometers and have been scared off by the price. This worked right out of the box. I used it on my daughter after she had her tonsills out. I like that there is no oral cross contamination. Seems to work well, without the high price.
