Braun ThermoScan 7

I use this one from Braun and love it. I have a forehead one too and can sympathize with you. The Braun is an ear thermometer and only takes a few seconds. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F4JJH1Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

We went through 2 others with the same issues (wildly inaccurate readings 15 degrees apart from each other) to the Braun ThermoScan 5 which is very similar to the link you gave. It's the same one that our doctor's office uses and they recommended it. The others need to be taken off the market.

Yeah.. 95%of the thermometers for sale on Amazon are cheap crap from China. We spent the 60 (iirc) on a braun that actually works.

We had the same issue for a while, but we've been using a Braun ThermoScan 7 for about a year now and it's been great. Started with it when our son was around 1 year. You can buy the sanitary tips in bulk for super cheap too.

We use the Braun Thermoscan 7 and our pediatrician uses the same one and we are happy with it. We did do rectal temp when he was under a year old and we wanted to confirm his temp was accurate. We used the frida one for that.

Braun ThermoScan 7 Digital Ear Thermometer I don't know if shopping links are permitted in this sub. We tested it cvs the other trash thermometers at the pediatricians office against their 200$ braun.

Used the braun precision digital on armpits then used Braun ear. Braun ear is the best.

I use this same one, just buy a pack of like 200/400 covers and we've been set for a few years already. Works a charm, always check both ears, and long battery so far.

I haven't met an accurate forehead thermometer. I have a Braun Thermoscan 7. It's an ear thermometer and it's been very accurate. I recommend that but it's always nice to have a solid oldschool rectal thermometer just in case.

I second the Braun in ear. We switched at about 8 months. We were in the thick of covid and always testing. We don't bother changing the tip every time to be honest.

His pediatrician uses a Braun in-ear one and I asked about it one appointment. They said they've found it to be pretty reliable and accurate so that's what I bought

I have the same one and I find it to be consistent. I get a baseline for both kids every once in a while. When I take their temps during fevers I always do both ears and retake it if it's really different. TBH I'm looking for a trend not a line in the sand.

I have one of [these](https://www.target.com/p/braun-thermoscan-ear-thermometer-with-exactemp-technology/-/A-16522288)\- it's been great so far. It's quick and easy to use. Not sure how I'd know if it's not accurate? But I think it's as good as you can get for home use.

Second the in ear Braun. Most it's off is .2 degrees provided it's pointing in the right way

I have the Braun ear one and it seems to be accurate! It doesn't give me the exact same reading if I do multiple readings but it's very close each time. It'll be like 36.5, 36.4 and then 36.6. I feel like that's reasonable.

I've had such bad luck with this one. It consistently gives different readings in each ear, and it just gave our son a 98.6 reading when he came up with a 102.2 fever rectally. I don't trust this thing at all
