Prove Multifunction Infrared Thermometer 4-in-1 Infrared Thermometer Color Changing Fever Indicator

There's a lot to love about this thermometer. I wanted one that takes normal person batteries, not button cells. I chose this one for that reason alone, but the price was nice too. It takes two AAA batteries (included), and it's easy to replace them. It is incredibly easy to use and to read. One push of the button to turn it on, hold it close, push the button, and you've got your reading. It displays the number, but also conveniently shows a color behind the whole screen. Green for normal temps, red for fever, and yellow for elevated but not quite feverish. It has several modes, and auto switches to ear mode when you remove the piece covering the probe. It does way more than I expected it to, and I'm very impressed. Two things to note, it does heat up with rapid tests in succession. You have to wait a little bit between readings, which I guess is a common thing with this type of thermometer. The other thing is my only real complaint, and is really a non-issue. You can mute it so it doesn't beep, but it is unmuted when you turn it back on. Read more

Based on some of the negative reviews I was expecting a thermometer that had poor instructions and/or inaccurate readings. But the instructions were more than adequate - and important to read. Initially, my readings varied all over the place, and were quite different from my mercury thermometer so I thought yup - negative reviewers were right. But when I checked it against a room temperature object and a couple of other digital thermometers, they all agreed within 0.1 degrees. So I started recording three readings each time over the course of a week, and surprisingly, the readings got more consistent the more I used it. The forehead measurement appears to be more consistent than the ear measurement, and the three forehead readings I take now typically all the same, or vary from each other by no more than 0.1 degrees. My takeaway is that even though it is simple to use, a little practice and reading the instructions are in order. Read more

I like that it changes color based on temp. reading. It changes yellow for mild fever, red for high fever, and green for normal temps. I like that you can use this for your forehead and for ear readings. It does have a temp limit of about 200 before it reads an error. This will not work for cooking and is strictly for body temp. I find it to be accurate and easy to use. It is intuitive and easy to change from F to C with a minimal menu design that I love. Read more

Ignore other reviews that complain about this thermometer requiring the device and person to be in the same room for 30 mins. Every single contactless IR thermometer has this requirement. You can't take someone's temperature when they've just come in from the snow without wearing a hat. Or they had an air conditioner blowing on their face prior to entering your building no matter what contactless IR thermometer you use. This thermometer works great. It has a baby and non-baby mode when using the ear adapter and an regular forehead mode when the ear adapter is covered by the magnetic cover. It also has the added ability to take temperatures of any surface in your home just in case you want to try to figure out where that draft is coming from. The display is bright, easy to read and has the ability to recall the last 40 readings which is nice. The instructions could be a little better but I was able to figure out how it worked in 5 mins by just playing with the buttons, holding them down for a little bit to get to other functions like the recall feature. You can also select the temperature scale (F or C) easily with a switch in the battery compartment. I'm glad I got this. Read more

At first, I thought this thermometer was defective as it showed my temperature as 92.6 - consistently. I tried to read the instructions, using the necessary magnifying glass, but they are written in an unknown language. Then, by trial and error, I learned how to set it up. This setting is for adults testing forehead temperature: 1. Turn the meter on by pressing the large button. You will hear a chirp. 2. You will see an icon at the top of the screen. As you press the small button, more icons will appear, one at a time. They are not numbered, but for this purpose think of them as numbered 1-4 from left to right. Now press the small button until you have selected #2, a kind of smiley face. (This setting will remain after the meter turns itself off.) 3. Now place the meter near the forehead of the person whose temperature you are trying to take – it can be you - and press the large button again You will hear another chirp within a second or two and the screen will show your temperature. I used it this way on me and my wife and both readings were correct – our normal temperatures are different, and the meter showed the numbers we expected. Read more

This isn’t a very good thermometer for accuracy. The temporal ones are always high, literally saying “high” and lit in red. But using the ear part, it will be normal and green. I’ve had reading from 98.3 to 108.8 in a 2 minute period. I’d say the ear portion could be accurate, but there’s no telling since the touch of forehead is hot temperature is hot as a reading, but ear is normal. Read more
