Braun No Touch and Forehead Thermometer - Touchless Thermometer for Adults, Babies, Toddlers and Kids, Color-Coded Fever Guidance, Fast, Reliable, and Accurate Results, FSA and HSA Eligible

The media could not be loaded. This thermometer is incredibly easy to use, making it perfect for quick temperature checks, especially with kids. We tested its accuracy by comparing it to a traditional in-mouth thermometer, and the readings were very close, giving us confidence in its reliability. The no-touch feature is super convenient and hygienic, especially during cold and flu season. It’s a great addition to our home medical kit and saves time without sacrificing accuracy. Highly recommend!

Don’t waste your time with the identical cheapy ones. They are not accurate and don’t work. This one works. Worth the extra 20 bucks

Easy to store in the medicine cabinet or shelf, pick it up. Turn it on. Aim at the head and get a super accurate temp reading. I purchased this AND the same brand in-ear thermometer that costs twice as much and that needs covers. The in-ear kept reading different temps in left and right ear holes. Funny enough, the average of the left and right ear readings was usually the same temp that this no-touch one read each and every time. I am able to use the very nice, very soft amber colored light to aim and take no-touch readings while the kid is sleeping. No covers = no extra steps and no extra cost. Immediately recommended to all my friends and family. And now recommending to you.

***NOT PRIME RETURNABLE WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK***Before we get to the the Influenster nonsense, please note that, per Amazon, it's sold through Health and Beauty Aids and you will not be able to return this when it doesn't work.And it won't work. Trust me. It's a great concept, and every loving parent dreams of the idea of sneaking in quietly to check on that sick child without disturbing him. But keep dreaming. Go buy a neat Lego set for your kid when he gets better instead of wasting your $50 on this, or just get the similarly priced Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer that actually tells you the kid's temperature.Read the one star reviews from people who actually bought it to use vs. the influencers who got it as a free toy to pack a product's review section with OMIGOD BEST THING EVER five star reviews.I paid to overnight it because my child was just coming down with a fever and he's at that in-between stage where the rectal is no longer really an option but under-tongue ones aren't, either. This one had 200+ positive reviews, and most of those were five star reviews, and it looked like the answers to our "which one comes next?" question.We tried it. And tried it. And tried it. It registered an accurate temperature only one single time in four to five dozen attempts.It was consistently 2-2.5 low on the feverish child, and 1-1.5 low on healthy adults. There's a big difference between 100.5 and 102.5 in a toddler, so we went back to the reliable method. When his fever was gone we tried at least twenty more times because we *really* wanted this thermometer to work. 1-1.5 low on the now-healthy child, same as adults. I could see where this could be possibly used as an indicator after establishing a trend of how inaccurate it is and by how much, but the palm of your hand works just as well and is $50 cheaper.I'm a tech guy and computer geek since the days of 2400 baud modems, and I restore motorcycles as a hobby. I I know how to use tools and electronics, and how to figure out how best to use those tools and electronics. The one star reviews are not from operator error. This is junk. Avoid.Influenster- You should be ashamed for allowing these reviews to remain, Amazon.It's right there in the name. Influence. Someone just got a fairly expensive and neat toy that they didn't need for free, and it looks pretty awesome and is a great idea. Now all they have to do to keep getting awesome looking and fairly expensive neat toys that they don't need for free is write a review about the fairly expensive neat toy that they didn't need and they just got for free that looks pretty awesome.Buyer beware.

Yes it's potentially inaccurate compared to taking the subjects temp internally. Yes there are things that can affect it like the subject just taking a bath. But you must understand what you're buying and what it's capable of. In medicine external temps (usually taken axillary) are always the least accurate, followed by oral and then rectal or by catheter temp probe in a hospital setting. So what many are doing is buying is an external thermometer and then expecting a internal temp accuracy. This is not possible.Also people need to test out things like this thermometer before trusting it blindly. Figure out the way to get an accurate and consistant reading before trusting it 100%. I can easily vary the reading just by placement on the head. So learn to use this tool first.Now if you want a quick way to get a rough idea of what a person's temp is this is the tool. It's quick and easy with a sick and less than happy child. Would I trust this is a clinical setting? Depends on what I'm wanting to know. My family wanted a way to get a rough idea in a snap of our child's temp and if she needs to be given meds to treat a temp. I'll still keep a rectal temp handy for a more precise reading if needed but this does the job needed.

I’ve purchased other devices out of need while being away from home - the digital captures from a couple other brands are just not great at all. I’ve had this for over 5 years, it still works, it’s an accurate read and super reliable. I’ve only used in my daycare, with my children (even now as adults), and for myself. The temp will be about .5 degrees off because it’s a forehead read, but that’s normal. You just have to keep that in mind when reading the temp. Great product, great price, last a long time so you get your monies worth, and always great to have around.

Switchable between Celcius and Farenheit. Fast reading (less than 2 seconds). Illuminates (marks) reading area. Tells you if you are too far from forehead to get a reading. Switchable beep for use with sleeping children. Some people complains about accuracy. The reason for this is that most users think this thermometer can used the same way a mercury thermometer is used. For starters you cannot accurately measure forehead temperature on a person that just moved out from an air conditioned room. The person and the infrared thermometer should both be located in the same environment for at least 8 to 10 minutes before taking temperature readings. Do that and you will get pretty decent accuracy every time. Remember that this thermometer uses infrared radiation to read temperature. It must take into consideration the ambient temperature.
