iProven Digital Ear Thermometer for Adults, Kids and Babies |Accurate, Fast & Easy to Use| Ear and Forehead Mode, Fever Detection, 1-Second Reading, 20 Memory, Backlit Display

Great product! No more waiting and waiting for an oral thermometer reading, which is great, because who wants to keep a thermometer in their mouth for several minutes when they’re feverish? Not me! (Not even gonna talk about other ways to get a temperature reading...) I’ve seen similar models in use at the Health Clerk’s office at my school, but I always thought that the cost would be prohibitive, but this is reasonably priced. Nobody else was home so I trialed it on myself and I got a quick, accurate reading on my forehead. It was trickier to get an ear reading for myself, but seems easy enough to do it with others.

When I first received this, I was easily able to start taking readings without having to read the manually to understand some complex system of use. I really appreciated this because sometimes the more tech an item, the more complex it can be to understand and use, but this was not an issue with this device. I’ve tried two other similar products in the past, and for one reason or another, I didn’t trust the readings and the devices were not as straight l-forward in terms of ease of use. We took several days of baseline readings, and compared them to a basic mouth thermometer 🌡 and the readings were consistently in sync (with slight variances in relation to differing routes, which is to be expected) I’m very pleased with this product and would most definitely recommend it to fellow mothers of young children. It reliable, quick, and easy to use, which are all important when trying to get accurate readings on youngsters. This product made an otherwise unpleasant experience of trying to get accurate temps on children, easy-peasy!And I HIGHLY recommend this product for those with small children who it can often be difficult to stay still long enough to gain accurate temperatures via other modes.

At this moment I cannot remark on its accuracy, but it is very easy to use, and very convenient. As advertised, it can be used across the forehead or in the ear.

Update: After I gave my original review the company reached out to me immediately, literally the next day after my review. They were concerned that I was not happy with the product and immediately sent me a replacement at no expense to me and within two days. Clearly the original one was faulty as the replacement was perfect, no issues now and displays the correct temperature. First class customer service and overall response. Thank you.Original review: This device is solid built, unfortunately its accuracy is not consistent. Tested many times in a row on the same person and displays different temperatures every time. Also the battery compartment cover is not secure and opens easily when handled. Not sure what more needs to be said.

UPDATE: Not at all accurate. Our entire household is sick right now. I have felt slightly warm and took my temperature well over 100 times in the past 2 days. My head always shows cold, which is probably accurate considering I have a fan blowing on me and windows open. However, my ear temperature has shown inconsistent temperatures, even taking it multiple times within a minute. The truly bizarre thing is it’s showing that I have a rather severe fever every so often. I don’t feel hot, just slightly warm, yet sometimes it says I have a fever of 103.5, which is alarming. I checked myself with other thermometers which showed I do have a fever but only of 99 degrees, not that severe. This thing clearly does not work properly at all, at least by using it in ear. I’m glad I didn’t actually pay for the item.I have a temporal thermometer that we’ve had for a few years now. It can be fickle to use sometimes. I usually prefer the ear ones but I hated having to buy the caps. I always wondered why they didn’t just offer an ear thermometer that you can just clean rather than spending more money and having more waste just to check a temperature. You’re already disinfecting things if you have someone sick in your house, so no big deal to take some alcohol and swab this clean.It was freezing outside when this was delivered, so it actually gave me an error message when I was trying to use it. It took about 30 minutes for it to actually work. Awesome that it came with batteries so I didn’t have to worry about finding some that fit and weren’t dead. It does seem to be accurate though. Testing it against my current temporal thermometer as well as a laser thermometer it seems to be getting readings that are almost exactly the same, not even a full degree difference so it’s accurate. I like that it has red when you’re showing a fever, that’s handy. I sat on our forced air heater to get my skin warmer than normal and got a reading of 101 and it was read and beeped.What I don’t like the the beep cannot be turned off. That’s annoying. When you have a sick child that is trying to sleep and you’re bugging them checking on them it makes things worse. I’m really surprised they didn’t include that feature as almost every digital thermometer that I’ve seen out there has that option. I like my old temporal thermometer for that because I can silence it and check temperatures without the kids even knowing I’m doing it. So at the very least I’m going to keep my old one for that. This will be used when they’re awake. But it’s nice to have 2 because we seem to misplace ours a lot. It comes in a storage bag which is also nice. Our old one came with no cover or bag so it’s gotten pretty beat up over the years and I’m not sure how it keeps the sensor accurate when it’s exposed to being thrown around our medicine cabinet and around the house when we have someone sick.

ES MUY PRACTICO,EFICAZ Y RAPIDO EN SU LECTURA DE FIEBRE

For quick checks it’s OK.Pros: The numbers are easy to read and the controls are easily manipulated. Red/Amber/green backlighting is en easy “go - no go” indicator.Cons: are on the unit received the battery compartment door is a sloppy fit a falls off when handled and the head/ ear cover can be quite difficult to separate.Temperature reading would vary between .2-.5 on back to back scans.While pulling the cover to try the tympanic function the battery compartment door became dislodged and went skidding across the floor like it was in a Tokyo Drift scene.

Although it's hard to get our toddler to hold still it only takes a second to take a reading. Initially we got varing results until we read the instructions and learned to pull his ear up while taking the reading. Practice make perfect. This unit works very quickly. Only takes a second.
