I’ve seen others complain of different readings, for me it’s been perfect, every time I’ve used I’ve put it under armpit for a few minutes before turning it on, and after it’s been accurate readings every time.
When the temperature read is ready. What is super handy is it flashes either green, amber or red so you know if the temperature is ok.
Comes with batteries so all you need to do is turn it on .
I bought this as a general use thermometer for me. It works really well but it dropped a star because I personally find it annoying to have to click through to the adult setting before I can use it.
It is extremely fast, but not much user friendly:
1.Before every use, On a dark display age must be set.(WHY?)
2. Measures for few seconds, beeping and readable in dark.
I liked everything with the exception of the cover fit. It doesn’t click shut, so could just fall off in your pocket or in a drawer. I like the green, amber, red colour coding for the display although I have only seen it green, but if I was feverish I expect amber or red. I cannot comment on accuracy, how would I know?
It’s annoying that you always have to choose the age bracket before you can take the reading. Surely it could remember the setting you used last? Otherwise it’s always several presses before you can start the measurement and actually most people know what a high/low reading is – particularly if they took the reading an hour earlier.
The most negative aspect for us was that, for some reason, the tone of the beeps of the thermometer really upset our cockapoo. She starts making wimpering noises and is very distressed to the point that we have to move her out of the room to use it. Not a problem for everyone but there is no way to turn off the sound – which is a negative.
On the positive, it’s got a reasonably large display and seems very competitively priced.
Surprisingly more accurate than their ear option. Very fast and really accurate so far. The only unnecessary option, if you are an adult, is the age precision. Having to set that every single time seems silly if you have no babies in the house or soon enough you won’t need the lower setting as they grow up so quickly. For now, it doesn’t look it can be disabled, but that’s a minor challenge for how good the device has been so far. Recommended then!
Have not used it seriously yet but encountered a minor but important problem. It emits a sound when the reading is ready to view, but the frequency of the sound is above my hearing range! I am 82 years young and my hearing is not what it was but I am not ready for a hearing aid yet!
It tells you the temperature
Pretty accurate from what I can tell
Have also been using it to get the temperature of baby bath water
Baby now enjoys baths
Would recommend
This is great get a reading very quickly I like how you set it to age and as well as the reading you get a colour come on the screen as well. So easy to use with a baby that doesn’t stay still
I have good faith in Braun products. I have used this temperature meter to put in my diaper bag, so that I can also check outside whether my baby has a fever or not. because he suffers a lot from teething.
Accuracy is good. Display is quite dim after you initially switch it on – have to use a torch to be able to read the reading in the mornings. Also the beeping is quite loud which can be annoying for anyone in the same room trying to sleep
It looks identical but the battery cover seems to be more snug, however it appears to be a lot slower if I’m not mistaken. It takes a little while until it beeps to let you know that it has successfully read your temperature.
Overall it is a very good price compared to the identical same item elsewhere but also in comparison to similar thermometers on the market.
Overall I’m happy with my purchase.
