    Once you get used to it the thermoscan is amazing, the colour changing screen is a great touch, I bought this for my visually impaired parents so they don’t need to worry about actually seeing the numbers.

    I wish it would be a bit easier to use. It takes a bit time to get it set up to use. A little annoying especially when your little one is already crying and you just want to get it done. Seems to be quite accurate though. For adults perfect.

    I opted for this thermometer due to its positive reviews and reputation among my friends. I purchased it to monitor my partner’s temperature during illness. The temperatures remained consistent throughout the day and regardless of the ear used, a crucial test for me. Unlike my previous thermometer(which were cheaper) with a 0.3 degrees difference, this one is more reliable at only 0.05. Easy to use with quick measurements, legible digits, and a useful backlight, though the plastic cap, while necessary, can be bothersome. It even came with premium Duracell batteries and a plastic storage case. highly recommend this product .

    Spot on for the money accurate and very easy to use, as you would expect from Braun. I have seen the same model used in health centres. Just one tip don’t do what I kept doing in the beginning and forget to remove the protective cover hence no reading, you will do it a few times until you remember and it will remind you of my comment!.

    In my opinion, this is the best and most accurate thermometer to have in the home!

    I had one of these from when my baby was a newborn. He suffered with high temps a lot and we decided to replace it as we were going through so many of the covers.
    Big mistake! We tried 3 other brands before coming back to this.

    You get an accurate reading every time, it’s easy to use. Like that the holder has space to store the ear covers.

    It’s pricey but it’s definitely worth it!

    More expensive but worth it to get a more accurate reading. We use it often to check our baby’s temperature and it’s so much better than cheaper ones we purchased.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersCan’t recommend this hermometre enough. I took my son to the doctor for an ear infection and this was the type he used, although I am not sure it is the exact same model. Seeing how easy it was I came back and bought this immediately.

    Incredibly easy to use. Turn on, select age range, pop it in the ear and press a button. The whole sequence probably takes 5 seconds and is so much simpler than using an under the armpit thermometer. They are slow and would often give out slightly different readings each time. Plus trying to hold a baby’s arm down when they are upset and ill, is difficult and will often upset them more.

    They barely notice this is their ear and its quick and accurate. Best thing is you can use it for adults too. Comes with a pack of disposable tips as well, so if the baby has a bit of wax in their ear, you don’t have to clean the thermometer constantly.

    Another useful feature is the memory function, which remembers the previous temperature taken. Great when you are trying to track whether your baby’s temperature is going up or down, especially because I always forget the exact reading a few hours later.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI originally bought this thermometer for peace of mind. My sister has it for children and had advised me to purchase! It is the best thermometer on the market, we have compared with a few other brands and this is always right with temperatures. It is so easy to use, compact, comes with a great stand and replaceable plastic covers for the earpiece! It has totally ease my anxiety regarding my newborn taking temperatures previous! I would be lost without it, it stays in our changing bag for when we are out and about.

    I find this Braun thermometer very accurate compared to older models I’ve used. It gives fast readings and is easy to use on myself or my child. When we had Covid, it was very good to see what’s going on. The color-coded temperature display makes it easy to see if a fever is present. Much better than the old one I had! Definitely recommended.

    I got used to having my ‘observations’ checked each day whilst in hospital with sepsis and decided to keep an eye on my temperature once I returned home. Helps when talking to doctors or emergency staff on the phone especially if you are suffering from a long-term condition or a heart related emergency. A few degrees can turn a fever into a life and death situation. Hygienic disposable sleeves are useful when dealing with more than one person. An essential part of every First Aid kit.

    I have used a few different braun thermometers this one is excellent if you have a baby or 3 and under it’s worth paying more for the more accurate reading. Over 3 just get a normal adult one for cheaper.

    As a mum and a nurse I hate seeing my little one unwell, so to have an accurate easy to use thermometer was very important and this fits the bill.
    Easy to use even for non medical persons, simple display and the age setting indicates if the temperature is okay.

    Great digital thermometer. Iv bought 2 other models from other brands and both inaccurate. This machine is spot on. Also I am an adult and use it on me so it’s not just for kids.
    Price is very reasonable too. Don’t hesitate to buy.

    This thermometer is a life saver, easy and quick to use. Really helpful feature is logging temp check history. Child allows us to take temp with ease as it takes 2 seconds unlike uncomfortable armpit one. Accurate readings.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’m glad I spent the extra money and got this. Albeit it was cheaper than anywhere else for the same product. Particularly useful at night where it turns either green amber or red according to the reading. So you have not got to second guess if it is normal, high or very high. Easy to use and I’m confident it is accurate as it’s a well branded product and the latest version.

    Never knew this product existed had to keep thermometer in original cardboard box. Very neat and tidy way to keep the machine and the plastic hygiene tips. Feels well built and durable, exactly what is required to protect thermometer and keep it functioning well.

    It’s a good thermometer however it’s not alway accurate, therefore I take 3 or 4 readings back to back and then see if it returns the same value. It does miss by far though.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWanted an in ear one as having used many thermometers for work during COVID, this type seemed to be the most accurate. Only annoying thing is having to set the age every time you switch it back on. Generally only used on baby so would prefer to not have to do it each time, unless I’m doing something wrong. But seems accurate and remembers the last few temps which is a good feature for a stressed parent if a doctor asked what last temps where.

    We needed one for very long time. I have read many reviews before final decision was made and ended up buying this one that is more expensive but it works properly and hopefully it will last for few years. I would recommend it.

    It’s 1 more for the normal temperature for UK . Like my old one shows 36 and this one shows 37

    Bought this to replace my broken thermometer,very happy with the purchase,easy to use and really accurate, tested my boy ear temperature three times in a row,and all these three time value are exactly the same, really good.
    The only downside is the price,a bit too expensive,but if can afford it,then this is the best one.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this as I went through a few months of high temperatures and wanted something quick to be able to check it with. It did the job well, and I didn’t need an smart functions as I can record temp in the Fitbit App.

    It’s easy to setup and use. My only gripe is as other have stated, you have to select the “Adult” setting each time as there’s no default memory.

    A very useful measuring tool and would recommend it to anyone.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersEasy to use because it doesn’t have too many buttons. It has an Open and Close button. A button for setting the age of the person whose temperature you are taking, one for memorizing several temperatures and the top one you press when the thermometer is inserted into the ear to measure the temperature. It is not embarrassing when it is put in the ear, the temperature is recorded very quickly, in 5 seconds. I like that it comes with spare caps for better hygiene. It is easy to use, and when it runs out of battery it shows on the screen that the battery is discharged. It also has a stand in which to place it and the instruction manual is very clear.

    It shows the temperature quickly

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersWe bought this to help with monitoring during chemotherapy, I can’t tell if it’s super accurate or not as with other reviews, we had 3 fluctuating measurements within a degree during when we did some repeat readings on the same ear. When we tried the other ear it was slightly different too.

    Ultimately, given the reason why we needed this machine, we had bought another thermometer just in case to double-check. So we hope we have taken enough measures to prevent any complications.

    Regarding the ease of use of the device, it is quite easy to use. Unfortunately you do have to select Adult every time before using it, ideally if there was a flip switch that would be more much handy than having to hear a few additional beeps.

    Inside the package, there’s about 10-20 caps for hygiene reasons for the tip of the thermometer. Kind of wish there was more, or for it to be compatible with a simple wipe to save the environment from further plastics. At least we have the other forehead thermometer ready.

    Reading reviews, it was scary to see GPs say many of these and other similar devices were inaccurate. I hope this one isn’t.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThere was a period early on in COVID-19 lockdown that it was near enough impossible to buy one of these for a reasonable price. Even Amazon were charging 50+ for them, some unscrupulous third-party sellers were listing them over 100, and people were buying them because they were desperate. You should be looking to buy them at around 40.

    It just so happened we needed one during this period, because our baby was sick and we were told we should try monitoring his temperatures. This had nothing to do with COVID, else we’d have just waited.

    Thankfully I managed to get one at 38 directly from Amazon, and it does seem to be very good, generally. The accuracy is hard to gauge really. Perhaps it fluctuates slightly due to ear position etc, but I have noticed its readings do vary occasionally.
    It has 3 temperature modes for: newborns, 3-36months and 36months+ – This is because temperatures can be more serious at these earlier points so the ‘allowable’ temperature tolerances are lower. It is helpful though that these are suitable from birth.

    I chose this style over other thermometers because this is the type all the medical staff seemed to use in the maternity wards. The tip is pre-warmed to try and make it less of a shock when taking your child’s temps, however I still find our son hates having it done, and wriggles everywhere!
    It also has a memory feature, which tells you the last 9 stored temperatures. It’s easy to use, though I would like the thermometer to remember/store the last age range entered. It’s a faff having to add same age every time I want to use it.

    The case is nice and protects the vulnerable probe side of the device. It also comes with a small box of tips. These are single-use (not ideal) disposable tips that keep the unit hygienic. You get around 20 of these with the unit. You can buy refills via Amazon (I bought the official Braun ones, but there are cheaper imitations if looking to save money). The case allows you to store a box or two of these tips within itself.

    The reading only takes around 2 seconds once in the ear and button pressed, which is impressive, especially when trying to take temps of an irate baby! If temperatures are in the normal range for the selected age group, the temperature will be returned with a green backlight. If it is elevated for the age range it’ll be amber, and it’d be advisable to monitor closely any changes. If it is too high, it’ll show a red backlight. I believe if this happens you should speak to a GP about it (especially if children).

    This is worth the price in my opinion. There are cheaper alternatives, but I feel that if the Doctor’s, Midwives and Nurses are using them all over the NHS then they must be the better option.
