I was glad to find a smaller handheld digital thermometer that reads accurately. This was a great choice!

It gives an OK reading. But I would stick with the old-fashioned under the tongue thermometers.

There's a lot to love about this thermometer.I wanted one that takes normal person batteries, not button cells. I chose this one for that reason alone, but the price was nice too. It takes two AAA batteries (included), and it's easy to replace them.It is incredibly easy to use and to read. One push of the button to turn it on, hold it close, push the button, and you've got your reading. It displays the number, but also conveniently shows a color behind the whole screen. Green for normal temps, red for fever, and yellow for elevated but not quite feverish.It has several modes, and auto switches to ear mode when you remove the piece covering the probe. It does way more than I expected it to, and I'm very impressed.Two things to note, it does heat up with rapid tests in succession. You have to wait a little bit between readings, which I guess is a common thing with this type of thermometer.The other thing is my only real complaint, and is really a non-issue. You can mute it so it doesn't beep, but it is unmuted when you turn it back on.

Ignore other reviews that complain about this thermometer requiring the device and person to be in the same room for 30 mins. Every single contactless IR thermometer has this requirement. You can't take someone's temperature when they've just come in from the snow without wearing a hat. Or they had an air conditioner blowing on their face prior to entering your building no matter what contactless IR thermometer you use.This thermometer works great. It has a baby and non-baby mode when using the ear adapter and an regular forehead mode when the ear adapter is covered by the magnetic cover. It also has the added ability to take temperatures of any surface in your home just in case you want to try to figure out where that draft is coming from. The display is bright, easy to read and has the ability to recall the last 40 readings which is nice. The instructions could be a little better but I was able to figure out how it worked in 5 mins by just playing with the buttons, holding them down for a little bit to get to other functions like the recall feature. You can also select the temperature scale (F or C) easily with a switch in the battery compartment. I'm glad I got this.

I like that it changes color based on temp. reading. It changes yellow for mild fever, red for high fever, and green for normal temps. I like that you can use this for your forehead and for ear readings. It does have a temp limit of about 200 before it reads an error. This will not work for cooking and is strictly for body temp. I find it to be accurate and easy to use. It is intuitive and easy to change from F to C with a minimal menu design that I love.
