Amplim Medical Grade Forehead Thermometer for Adults Kids Baby Non-Contact Digital Infrared Thermometer Instant Read Accurate Fast Fever

I purchased this for my daughter when our granddaughter was born. If you have infants or toddlers, this is a very useful tool. The accuracy is “acceptable”, this is a screening tool. It takes surface temperature and not core temperatures, which are much more accurate on infants and toddlers. But It will give you enough information to make an informed decision about your child’s medical status. I did compare it to a rectal temp. The recta temp was slightly higher than the surface temperature this thermometer found, but only by .2°F. So it is accurate and reliable enough for its intended use. Is this as good as the ones we used in the hospital, well yes and no. The hospital thermometers cost significantly more, but they are also used in some cases hundreds of times per day. They were also dropped frequently. These thermometers needed to be built to a different standard than one that will sit in a medicine cabinet for months or years without being used. Read more

by far the best auto forehead thermometer - easy to use, just press the on button and then the scan. i've had one that was so difficult to use i kept getting the word 'lo' when i scanned. it hardly worked. this one is quick and the shape of it at an angle makes it easier to use. you can easily see past readings too and store them.

Actually found this to be quite accurate the first time I had to use this with a fever. It initializes very quickly, you can take multiple readings a few times in a row and get consistent results. The color coding of the screen and different beeps depending on normal, elevated, and high fever are helpful. Overall, very happy with this - it shouldn't be so hard to find a reliable thermometer - the old mercury ones were the best. Read more

The thermometer looks well made and is easy to hold, but performance was inconsistent. The device frequently switched between modes and temperature units, which made it confusing to use. Readings varied noticeably within seconds under the same conditions, so I could not fully rely on the results. For a medical device, stability and accuracy are very important. It may work for quick general checks, but I would not use it as my primary thermometer. Read more
