[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thermometer was easy to use and it seemed accurate. The battery is easy to change and the thermometer is easy to clean. I just use a wet wipe and it sanitized it. It doesn’t weigh a lot and can easily store it.

I wish I would have kept the box to return this thermometer! This thing is terrible. I probably got a "decent" temperature read above 98 degrees 1 time. All other times it says 96-97ish. You have to place it in an exact spot on the forehead, according to the pics almost between the eyes, but the 1 decent read I got was a little up on my child. So maybe it depends a little on a person's unique anatomy? IDK.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm absolutely in love with this forehead thermometer. It came in handy this flu season. I got severally ill a few weeks ago and relied heavily on this thermometer. It was easy to use. Very dependable and accurate. Easy to read. It turns red when you have a fever. Battery life seems to be great as well. I 100% recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Forehead Thermometer works well once you get the hang of it. I initially experienced some inaccuracies, but I’ve found that letting the thermometer adjust to room temperature for about an hour and ensuring precise placement on the forehead results in accurate readings. It’s easy to use and convenient for quick temperature checks, especially with its straightforward design. I’m not sure how long the battery lasts, but it has stayed charged so far, which is a nice bonus. While it does require a bit of technique, it’s reliable when used correctly.
It’s a must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Forehead Thermometer is accurate, convenient, and long-lasting. Its consistent readings provide peace of mind, and the non-invasive design is perfect for quick, easy checks—even on sleeping children. The digital display is clear, and results are ready in seconds. Plus, the battery life is outstanding; weeks of frequent use haven’t required a replacement yet. A reliable and user-friendly must-have for any household!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thermometer came in handy it just the right time. We are expecting a new grandbaby so it will be perfect to use with her! I currently have an 11-year-old and ‘tis the season for kid germs and sickness. It has been great to use to check his temperature a couple of times he has come home from school saying that his throat was itchy. At this point he is just about able to check his own temperature And that is a plus. Would definitely purchase again. I did not get the one with the fancy bales and whistles, but this one has been just fine. Takes the temperature and is easy to use. That’s about all that I needed to do at this point.!

This thermometer seemed to work fine when I first bought it but rapidly declined in its readings. It started giving wild, off the wall readings. Sometimes I’d test it on everyone in the house and it would say we all had the exact same temperature. I’d turn it off and try again but I couldn’t trust the results. This evening I tried it on my sick child and it read 107! Tried it again and it kept giving different readings anywhere from 102-106. That was the final straw. I wish I had spent my money on something that is actually accurate and not going to mess up something as important as a temperature reading.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has so many wonderful features such as a two second read time, safe for people of all ages, has an automatic shut off after reading and it’s hygienic especially compared to a standard thermometer. Also, it reads in different colors depending upon your temperature 🚥. For example in this video my temperature measured at 96.5 which is considered to be a safe temperature so my temp color was a green. Yellow would indicate a slight fever and red would indicate an actual fever. Overall this is an excellent product!! It’s easy to use, easy to read, and ohh yeah did I mention it comes WITH BATTERIES 🔋.
Love!

Doesn't seem accurate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this product, but I really don't think it's accurate. I love that it's more sanitary than an oral thermometer, but I took my temperature 4 times and each time it gave me a temp of under 98.6. The first time it told me that my temp was 94, and unless I'm hypothermic, I'm going to have to guess that that's not accurate. Also, the directions are a bit confusing. It says you have to press the thermometer button and hold to your forehead, but you need to make sure the thermometer is already against your forehead when you press the button, otherwise you'll get an error message. The screen has LED lights that will illuminate either green, yellow, or red depending on whether you have no fever, low fever, or a high fever. I can't speak to the accuracy of that because I haven't been able to try it while having a fever yet. I just don't know that I'd really trust this to give me an accurate reading.
Accurate thermometer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thermometer is accurate and quick. I'm always skeptical of new technology, but the temperature matched my old thermometer. The fact that you have to touch it to skin may be a deterrent, but the area that touches skin can be quickly cleaned. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have item if you have kids in your house! We had the Braun ear thermometer which was great but it required ear covers. With the forehead thermometer you get an accurate scan with no waste ! It has lasted all month and probably will last longer with the original batteries. It powers off by itself or by holding the power button. With only 2 buttons it's simple for anyone to use!

You simply place the thermometer in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows while pushing the temperature button and take a reading. It takes the reading in less than 2 seconds! It is that easy. This will be wonderful to have around when a temperature reading is needed. It is small enough so you can pack it with you on vacations just In case you would need it.
