We purchased this thermometer at the recommendation of our doctor's office.
We love how quick, easy, and accurate it is. We don't even have to wake up
our son to get the reading. Just a simple scan of the forehead and presto!
The best feature of this unit is its ability to display in both Centigrade
and Fahrenheit. We are used to using the Centigrade scale at home, and our
doctor uses Fahrenheit, so it's great to easily convert between the two. I
would recommend this unit to anyone and thank for [...]

This is the very worst thermometer that I have EVER used in my life! It is inaccurate no matter what you do. It changes back and forth from F to C on it's own! It is an awful product!

Cheaply made, this thermometer always shifts over to Celsius scale from Fahrenheit. The manufacturer knows it does this and actually wrote in the instructions that if we customers didn't like that, we should learn metric measurement. I bought this to take temperatures with quickly and legibly, not to get a lesson in temperature conversion. No backlight and very difficult to read except under bright light. Short battery life (6 months). I have bought another thermometer and am much happier. This isn't a very good product at all.

I purchased this thermometer on the premise that it would take an accurate temperature of my son faster than a conventional digital thermometer and would be easier to use while he slept. While the product has proven itself quite easy to use, it has been basically useless to me because it never registers the same temperature twice. The temperature this thermometer displays can range wildly over the course of just a minute and frequently displays a normal temperature reading when my son is burning up and obviously has a fever. This thermometer has complicated the diagnosis of my son's well-being and I am left "hoping" that I am getting an accurate temperature instead of having the peace of mind a thermometer should offer when obtaining a true and consistent reading. I suggest making a different choice of thermometer for your family.

Did not find it to be near as accurate as claimed. Ear temp varied up to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Forehead temp up to 3 degrees less than ear and varied up to 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Got temps between 95.5 on forehead to 101 in ear at same time period. Not good!!!

This thermometer gives very inconsistent and inaccurate readings. The difference sometimes could be over 1 degree Fahrenheit. The ear reading is always lower than the rectal reading but they are supposed to be the same. It gave me a headache when my daughter was sick last week. I couldn't take a correct temperature. I took several readings from both ears and they were all different. When I took my daughter to see the pediatrician, they took her temperature by ear at the clinic. Then I used mine to measure again immediately. My reading was almost 2 degrees lower than theirs. That was too off. I am not going to keep it and will order a Braun. Don't waste your money on it. Go for a better one even it is more expensive.

My wife and I went through many different digital thermometers, and none of them seemed to work... Oral, ear, forehead, it didn't seem to matter which they just never gave consistent readings and every time we would call our doctor to tell them our child was ill he would ask what was their temperature and we really couldn't tell him. Now we get a consistent reading that is as accurate as the readings we get from the doctor's office. My only complaint (and it is small) is that the forehead temperature reader doesn't work that well, which is fine because the ear temperature can be taken very quickly, less than a second, so there is no need to use the forehead reader.

I like that you can do ear or forehead. The forehead use is much easier for a 10 month old to be still enough for. The only thing I don't like is it only shows military time.

I have 7 children from ages 13 to 6 months so I needed a versatile and acurate thermometer. I did read the reviews here but decided to go ahead and purchase the Temperature Check 4-in-1 Digital Infrared thermometer anyway, esp with the price being fairly low. I figured if it was a dud then I wouldn't be out a bunch of money anyway.

I was quite surprised to find that it was a great buy! I don't know why the negative reviews. As a mom of many young children, I have been through a ton of thermometers, so when I find a good one that really works for me I tell everyone. I did not have any problems getting an accurate reading (temporal or tympanic), so this thermometer was very useful to me!!!

The fact that it is a temporal and a tympanic thermometer is great. I can check on a sick toddler or baby without waking him up with the temporal (forehead) feature. Then I am able to use the tympanic (ear) feature for the oldes children and adults or just use the temporal feature. In my not so humble opinion both are just as acurate. I also fins the military time it keeps a great plus as a mom who may have a housefull of sick children I use military time (instead of using AM and PM which may start to look the same when I am in a hurry) keeping track of the time I gave meds and took temps to which child. I also though it was big plus to have the room temperature as well.

The only thing I would add to it would be to have a backlight, so that I could see the temperature in the dark while checking on a sick child. But it is terrific the way it is, esp for the price.

So the "Temperature Check 4-in-1 Digital Infrared thermomter" in my opinion is a great thermometer and is definately highly recommended by this mom of 7!!

Item was sent to the VPost office very fast. Item was just nice and easy to use. Temperature measure with fast and accurate way. Recommended for those that need a Thermometer that "non-contact" type!
