3 out of 5 stars Very Fast, but Reading is lower by one to two degrees F.   October 21, 2009
Bipin Shah
Have to position the meter by "wiggle in the ear canal till it beeps". Then press the switch to hear 4-beeps. See the reading - result, which is one degree lower (testing at normal temp of 98.6 degrees F).


1 out of 5 stars Piece of garbage   May 12, 2009
R. Brown (Alaska)
I threw this in the garbage yesterday -- so it was easy to title this review! We got this thermometer because there were no Braun available on Amazon when we were shopping, and boy, I wish we'd waited (it's what others had recommended to us -- we're back now to buy another one).

We followed the instructions of the Omron precisely. Put in ear canal. Listen for one beep. Press button. Listen for more beeps. Check temperature. And the temp consistently read crazy low (like, impossibly low for a feverish child). We tried again over the weekend when our 10-month-old was burning up and acting lethargic. Guess what? A reading of 94.6 degrees. Same thing happened with her older sis.

And can I please speak to you parents out there directly and tell you that there are few things more frustrating and painful to try to get a temp reading off of a cranky sick baby or child and then have it be so horribly off?

Do not waste your time. Garbage, garbage, garbage.

We purchased this item for ourselves and for our son upon the birth of the grandchildren. From day 0ne it never worked properly. We kept replacing batteries and it still wouldn't register. We returned them for an exchange and after several days, it also registerd that it needed an new battery.

1 out of 5 stars useless product - extremely inaccurate   August 13, 2008

Never buy this product. This is a useless ear thermometer. If I did not use a regular digital thermometer to double check than I would assume that this ear thermometer is accurate ( when regular digital was reading 101 & this ear thermometer was reading 98.6). I am very upset with this ear thermometer, I am now just use regular digital thermometer.
