We bought this thermometer because our other one took forever to take a temperature, and we weren't convinced of it's accuracy. For those reasons we went with this instant read one that goes in the ear.

It is instant read taking just one second, and it tells you your temperature. It comes with a white carrying case. The display is large, and it shuts off automatically.

It read temps consistently. Interestingly enough, temperature varies between ears. Or at least in my family it does. But the readings were consistent no matter how many times we checked. But I'll have to read the manual to see if it says you are supposed to check one ear over the other.

The battery it takes is one of those weird circular kinds, so when it does run out of batteries I'll have to make a special trip somewhere - but that is a pretty minor concern.

I suppose all thermometers work well. I mean, if they don't tell you the temperature, they won't last long.

I rarely get sick. But when I do, I get cranky. Sitting for minutes, trying to breathe through a stuffed-up nose, while an oral thermometer reads my temperature doesn't help.

This product is fast, and accurate - and it doesn't cost a fortune. If I use it once a year, it's worth it for the comfort. For a larger family, it's even more valuable. Good buy.

very easy to use and literally only takes 1 second - great for when they're sick and so small they can't understand to sit still.

Target and BabiesRUS sells the exact same one without the "bag" for 1/2 the price. Wish I would've known that before. Great product though!

This is the worst thermometer. I can take my temp 6 times and get 6 different temps. The instructions are clear but it just isn't dependable. Why bother? And I just discovered I can't return it to Amazon.com. Don't waist your money.

Not the easiest thing to hold and operate but it'll do. Readouts are consistent and accurate so it seems.

very good product! great for small children that won't hold still too long. works great!

This thing worked for maybe the first month. It has now stopped workign properly. It reads out temps of 65. Boy, I hope my son's temp isnt running that low. We had to end up buying a different brand.

I normally don't write reviews, but feel a need to as this effects the health of your and my baby. I bought this inJanuary and have used it multiple times over the last few months. Followed the instructions to a T, even worked with a nurse to make sure we were not using this incorrectly.

It is consistent.. for sure.. consistently inaccurate to the tune of more than a degree, sometimes even two. Yes it is fast, but whats the use of a fast read when it cannot be relied upon?

I spoke to their customer service and even they would not stand behind their product. They say they cannot guarantee the accuracy and offered to issue me a coupon for some other product from their website. I wish I had read a clear review when I bought this, hopefully this will help some of you make up your minds.

We both tried different positioning in our ears to get an accurate readout on this thing, probably tried it 50 times each. Never got similar readings and never higher than 96-something, which isn't possible. Coulnd't return this thing because the time limit is 30 days from date of purchase. Waste on money and time.

This thermometer worked with accurate readings the first time my daughter was sick. Then a few months later when she was sick again it did not give accurate readings (kept saying her temperature was 94-95 degrees). Then it just completely stopped working at all. Very cheap. Not worth it.
