Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer

Best thermometer. Our son has a compromised immune system so he tends to get sick a bit more than usual. We have tried many thermometers in the past but keep on coming back to this one. We have even tried expensive ones from CVS and Walgreens and nothing comes close to this. Frm ease of use to accuracy of the reading this is our go to thermometer.

Having previously tried several ear and forehead thermometers, I had concluded that they were just annoying to use and/or hopelessly inaccurate. Based on some general research, as well as other reviews I decided to give this one a try. I am pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use - hold it against the center of the forehead, press the button until it beeps and slide gently to the left (or right, I guess) over to the temple. It'll beep a few more times, but is ready to read. I checked it against normal temps and also compared it with some known accurate traditional methods in fever situations; I conclude that it's one of the most accurate thermometers I've owned. The only caveat I would mention is that if the place it's stored is on the chilly side, the readings seem to be more accurate if I take a minute or two to warm it up under a shirt to point where it no longer feels cold to the touch. Not sure why that is, but for me it produced the best results. Overall, highly recommended.

our youngest is 22, non verbal autistic in diapers, so a regular glass thermometer in the mouth or in the back is a no go for safety reasons. this thermometer fits the need perfectly, it’s quick accurate, and easy to use, pop the cap, push a button and swipe it across the forehead, done. no stress, no danger, and a good value for the money in my book.

Accurate and easy to use. This is our 3rd one in the past 20 years. The others still work, we just needed another one

highly recommend... I have tried others that simply do not work
