iProven Digital Medical Fever Thermometer for Babies and Kids - with Ear and Forehead Function - Clinically Accurate Baby Thermometer - Approved for Adults, Babies and Kids - iProven DMT-489G

Fine product

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.

I really like this thermometer. It's easy to use, and looks and feels like a good quality. It's not weirdly heavy OR light. I LOVE that it can also take the temp of a room!! I am forever questioning my home's thermostat, so this helps! Using it on the forehead is easy, and much like the hospital style--it goes temple to temple. I DID have an issue when trying to take the forehead cover off. Underneath it's ready for a ear temp, but that cover was SO hard to get off! My husband thought he'd break it. I felt that way too, but kept pulling anyway. It finally popped off, and only then was I SURE I wasn't supposed to be twisting or something. I'd tried, but it didn't work. I'd like to see them change that. If I was really worried about my kid and couldn't get that thing off I might end up throwing it across the room in frustration--which would only make everything worse, of course. That cover is the only reason my "ease of use" stars are not 5.

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.

I ended up needing to use it this weekend and was so happy I had it because my old one could never get my temperature correct it would always be off by a few degrees, but not this one! Accurate and precise every time.Pros:So easy to use you don't need the instructions and your kids could do it all by themselves Dust cover bag to protect the thermometer while it is stored away It can be used for ears or forehead. Bright green light-up display screen for easy reading in the dark or light 1 touch button use.Cons:I was not quite clear on the use of this model for the ears because the instructions use a different model to demonstrate with.

This product is very easy to use, which is a game changer with small children, since taking their temperature is close to impossible if they are required to sit still for more than 5 seconds. This thermometer gives a reading in a couple of seconds. I've only used the forehead reading thus far, because my kids hate when I try to put something in their ear. I like that it has a light so you can see the temperature reading with no issues. This is especially helpful for middle of the night temperature checks. Also appreciate that it comes ready to use. One suggestion to to try the thermometer when you get it and feeling healthy/not feverish. I first used it with my toddler when they weren't feeling well and it gave me three different readings back to back. It's worked fine since then.
