Braun Sensian Contact 5 Forehead Thermometer - Gentle Digital Thermometer with Professional Accuracy and Color Coded Temperature Guidance for All Ages, FSA and HSA Eligible

Buy this!! As a nurse I have used many different thermometers. This one is by far the best and most accurate. I actually purchased a second for my daughter (to use for her twins) and have recommended to many of my healthcare co-workwes and friends.

I was tired of waking my children up when they were sick to take their temperature. This thermometer allows me to turn it on, place it on their forehead and take their temperature in a matter of seconds without disturbing their sleep.The digital face lights up so you can easily read the results even in the dark.The thermometer shows the actual temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on your preference. Along with the actual reading the thermometer glows yellow for a mild temperature and red for a high fever.The fact that you put it on their forehead and not in their mouth allows you to take several family members temperatures without the fear of spreading the germs.The price is fair for the product.I have not had to change batteries since we have owned it.I like this product and would purchase it again.

Every home needs one. Easy, reliable, non-invasive, quick, and I assume accurate. Love the color coding; green = no fever, yellow = low fever, red = fever. Can take a child’s temp in the dark, without waking them.

I don't really see very good directions on how to use this, but after countless attempts, I finally got it figured out. The instructions are written in a special fine print normally used for hidden clauses in contracts. I had to use a magnifying glass, which was frustrating - because most of the print was more promotional than useful, like why we would want to use this fine instrument.It seems to be pretty accurate now; I don't really expect more than 1% or so, so you can expect it to be within about 2% of other decent thermometers if one is high and the other is low.One problem they might like to look into is the cap. I found myself often forgetting to take it off, which is definitely not good. I'm going to put a piece of tape across it so I will notice better, but if if could flip open, possibly when turned on, that might reduce a lot of problems. It's really not that visible, and I suspect there are others who forget, or even didn't realize it was there.

Stay away. This thing is the thermometer equivalent of a stopped clock. It’s right by chance not by design. If you want to guess at your temperature use your imagination—this is not going to help you. If you want to know your temperature this thing is going to be worse than useless. As far as I can tell its readings are random. I have seen 3 degree swings from taking two measurements within 30 seconds. Run away from this POS.

This thermometer is SO easy to use. When you don't feel good or are grabbing this at 3 am you don't even have to look at it to be able to take your temp. One button on/off. Put to forehead just between eyes. Press the Temp button. Done. It'll turn off by itself if you just put it down. It takes 2 AAA batteries which I like better than the "everything has to be charged with USB" trend >:(There's a cap that covers the laser lens that snaps on or off. Readout is clear with colored background...green for OK, yellow for high, red for fever. My phone doesn't take great pics but the colors are vivid and numbers crisp.I've had much heavier, complicated thermometers that stored multiple readings,took 3 or 4 tries to be accurate, had several buttons. This is light and sweet. Recommend!

I had very low expectations for this thermometer given the last cheapo one I ordered that is the most popular seller on Amazon was a piece of junk. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. I took my temperature, my husband’s temperature, and my baby’s temperature each three times. The variance between each reading was less than .2°. Comparing this to the other thermometer that had over a degree variance between readings I was pleasantly surprised. This thing is very accurate. I imagine people who are having wonky readings need to replace the batteries or make sure they are using it correctly. Is it a little pricey for a thermometer? Yes. Is it worth every penny? Absolutely. I would try this again. Gives me peace of mind. Obviously not going to be as accurate as a rectal temp for a baby, but it gives you a pretty darn good idea as to whether or not you need to give Tylenol to treat a fever. Go ahead and get one. You’ll be glad you did.

This is the 3rd thermometer I have bought because the other two brands failed to give accurate temperature readings! I looked for this thermometer everywhere and was finally able to find it here on amazon, came early than expected and the package and delivery was amazing! It is very very accurate has great quality and is a great value for the money! My sister in law had one of this and it was always giving better readings than the two thermometers that I owned so I finally was able to find and get this braun thermometer! 100% recommend!
