I used this thermometer a few times and never got accurate readings. I only hope that it can still be returned.

I also bought this for my newborn. It doesn't matter how many times I take his temp, it comes out different every time. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

I got this thinking that it would be more comfortable for my children while taking their temperature. It has never worked. First, you have to put on these little covers before using it and they break almost instantly. Then after going through all the preparations for use, the stupid thing does not give an accurate reading. It says one temp for one ear and a different one for a different ear. And if you try it a third or a fourth time for some kind of accuracy it will give you other readings. It is horrible. I would reccomend a regular arm thermometer.

I got this as a shower gift from my baby registry. I honestly don't trust it. We put it in both of my baby's ears and we got different readings each time. You can't even tell if it is all the way in their ear. I now just put a regular thermometer under her arm and feel more comfortable. It is nice and compact, though.

I agree, this thermometer is awful. I never get the same reading twice. I tried it on myself, and it read my body temperature as 94.6 degrees. Do not waste your twenty dollars on this piece of junk!

BEST THERMOMETER IN THE MARKET - ECONOMIC AND EFFICIENT - ONLY FLAW IS IT TAKES 2-4 SECONDS TO TAKE A TEMP. AND NOT 1 SECOND AS ADVERTISED.

This was a waste of money, seriously. Our baby felt very warm, but the reading registered 98.6 for the baby and consistently for two other people at two different temperatures, so we assumed it somehow must be right... well, we felt the baby in the middle of the night and again, she felt warm/hot, thermometer read 98.6 again... we found the old mercury filled relic in the drawer 'old trusty'... it registered her at 102! You know when the baby does not feel right, and this was one of those times.... don't trust this thermometer... we will certainly look for a better digital on the market.

I bought this for my 5 month old and when he was sick with a fever, this thermometer was TOTALLY USELESS. My child was burning up.....you could feel him being hot by touching him and this thermometer gave a reading of 100.6. The reading was NEVER the same twice or more times when I took it. ANd when I took his temperature with another thermometer (rectal)....ie the rectal temperature was 102!!! He clearly had a fever but this thermometer did not pick that up. Talked to my pediatrician and was told that ear thermometers are not accurate for infants less than 1 year old......so if you have a baby less than 1 year old....take the rectal temp....its the most accurate. This ear thermometer does not give the same reading even when the reading is taken in the same ear within 1 min......and its not at all accurate. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY !!!

I bought this for my son who was going to have surgery the next morning, got home later that day and the stupid thing would not even come on. So now while my son is having surgery I am going to have to take it back, because I need to be able to monitor his fever.

I got this product based on the 5 star rating (I didn't look far enough to see that it was just 1 person who had rated it!), but this is not a good thermometer at all! My husband and I both tried it over and over on ourselves, and every reading was different, and way, way off. The readings ranged from way under, to slightly under, normal temperature. Very disappointing! Not accurate at all.
