The Proven digital thermometer looks like any other digital thermometer at first glance. The box was appealing, with some of the most important pros right on the box, such as "fast, 10 sec", "flexible", smiley face indicator, and "switchable" from Fahrenheit to Celsius switching capability. It comes in a clear case, to avoid easily damaging the thermometer, to keep it clean, and to make portability easy. It's super easy to use, and has easy-to-read, simple instructions right on the back of the box, for people like me, who HATE reading instruction sheets! It also tells you what the high temperature range is, especially for those who think 99 degrees is a fever. ;) There is a really cool smiley face indicator, with a smile indicating a temperature < 99 degrees, a "meh" face indicating slightly elevated temperature, and frowning face indicating temperature > 100. I also love that the tip is flexible. I really could've used this when my kids were small, as the thermometers I used had stiff tips, which only made them more angry, because it was comfortable too! Most importantly, it's priced right! This thermometer is perfect for anyone of any age, and I would highly recommend it to anyone! *I would love it even more if it had a low temperature indicator, especially for premature or small infants, who are less able to maintain their own temperatures, and are more likely to have low temperatures when sick, rather than fevers.

I bought this thermometer because my 3-year-old hated my old rigid-tipped thermometer. I used this on myself first, and it's very comfortable in the mouth. I am not giving a 5 star review only because it's *very* loud and there does not appear to be a way to shut off or lower the sound. Also note that the directions clearly state that it is not accurate if used for axillary (armpit) temperature, so if that's your preferred method, choose a different model/brand. Edit: First off, I bought this on a recommendation from a nurse friend of mine when I complained about how uncomfortable it is to hold a thermometer in your mouth. She was right! The flexible tip on this is amazing! It's soft, so you can grip it in your teeth without it slipping around, and you can hold it in the exact place you need it without gouging that tender area under your tongue. But I really edited this to say that I don't know why so many people are finding this thermometer to be inaccurate. Perhaps they are not using it correctly? You are supposed to turn it on and wait until the display says "Lo C" or "Lo F" before putting it in your mouth. My nurse friend also says to wait 15 minutes after you eat or drink anything so the temperature in your mouth has not been changed by the food or beverage. Because of the other reviews I saw, I decided to test the accuracy. I have two of the regular "hard tip" thermometers here and I tested all 3 at the same time just to see if they would give the same results and two (including this one) read exactly 98 degrees and one said 98.17, so I think this is pretty accurate, or they're all 3 wrong! Another great feature of this is how fast it is! This makes it great to use on my toddler when she is sick and cranky! I definitely recommend this thermometer. Read more

While looking for a thermometer I found the iProven at my local pharmacy. I picked it up because of its clean blue and white packaging that stood out on the rack. The package clearly advertised the rapid read, flexibility, and loud alarm features and these were just the things I was looking for in a thermometer. When I did purchase this product and utilized it, I found it to be easy to use and it resulted as quick as the manufacturer claimed it would. The tone on completion was loud enough to hear even by my husband. who suffers from issues with loss of hearing in one ear. The thermometer is capable of showing a happy or sad face based on the result for those unsure of the best temperature range that they should maintain. This range is clearly explained in the included pamphlet of directions found in the packaging. I found it a little difficult to open the plastic container at first, but that became easier with use and I looked at it as if it was kept clean in the packaging since it was sealed tightly. Based on all of the features offered with this product I feel it was worth the price I paid for it. I feel it provided accurate results. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends who are looking for a thermometer for daily use in their home. Read more
