Easy to use

The good: it works. The readings are consistent. Some people complained they are inaccurate – well, I can’t say whether they are or aren’t, but they are consistent when I try a few times. Which sometimes I have to do, because it requires very specific distance from the skin in a very specific spot.The vibrating is very handy. When I had Covid I would check my temperature and honestly had no energy to drag myself to the mirror, so I would just sort of hover it around the spot until the thermometer vibrated and I knew that was it.No clue how long the battery last, but so far it looks like the answer is ‘forever’. If I didn’t sometimes have to try up to eight times it would be an instant 5*.

Read all the instructions and used as directed.Readings in someone with a fever were both inaccurate and imprecise (gave a medically dangerous underestimate).Readings in someone with no fever were closer to the truth (moderate overestimate).I also checked it against results from a proven accurate thermometer that is harder to use.Foreheads often are not a good reflection of core temperature (only tympanic and rectal temps are good reflections of core temperature). So, I wasn't expecting perfection but I figured the company had done it's due diligence and was marketing a no touch forehead thermometer because it worked (as in the technology employed had advanced to the point that is was sufficiently accurate for medical decision-making purposes).I would have been happy if the thermometer read a degree lower than core temp but at least did so reliably. If it read 1 degree lower all the time because skin is cooler I would be able to factor that in to my assessment of whether someone needs medical attention or to stay home from social gatherings.However, it gave me wildly different temperature readings when used on the same very feverish person, at the same angle and distance in the same lighting taken within seconds of each other.I compared it against a proven accurate household utility thermometer that reads packed ice water correctly as 32F (0 Celsius) and full boil water as 212F (100 Celsius) very consistently as well as correctly measuring a mixture of equal parts of the two. I also compared it to another older oral digital medical thermometer that has tolerable but less impressive accuracy (had to use armpit and oral for these because the utility thermometer has a pointy metal tip that is unsuitable for any other body part - so these should be higher but not 2.5-3 degrees difference).Here is a list of some of the readings:Vetted Thermometer: 103.6 This product: 101.8Vetted Thermometer: 104.2 This product: 100.4 (almost categorizing a serious fever as a non fever!)Vetted Thermometer: 97.5 This product: 98.6Vetted Thermometer: 97.2 This product: 98.7Vetted Thermometer: 97.6 This product: 99.6Vetted Thermometer: 98.0 This product: Lo errorI have no use for a thermometer that is only modestly accurate when someone doesn't have a fever and wildly inaccurate when someone does have a fever. Errors ranged from a minimum of 1 degree to almost 3 degrees. What use is that?This is not the sort of thing any person wants to be dealing with when they, their children or spouse is very sick.I see by review analysis of this product that"8,572 customers mention "Accuracy" 5,233 positive 3,339 negative"How on Earth does a thermometer that is found to be inaccurate by nearly 40% of users have a product rating over 4 stars?Some even commented that "it works well but isn't accurate" !!!An inaccurate thermometer works about as "well" as a car that doesn't move or a cell phone that only dials random numbers!Perhaps it is a severe quality control issue and half of them really do work better but there are many reviews from those who tried replacements of this product with no luck as well.If you do buy it, I'd suggest testing it out on both ends of its functional temperature range (around 97 degrees to 107 degrees) within 30 days. I bought it as a suggested item because I knew I should have another in the house and can't even return it because we didn't have any fevers to test it on for 2 months and the return window closed.Really, I would suggest finding a legit tympanic thermometer and just embrace the annoyance of probe covers because it may not even be possible to get a truly valid reading using infra-red on a feverish forehead that is actively engaged in evaporative cooling.In contrast, tympanic membranes don't sweat and the ear canal limits cooling air flow while the probe is inserted; also, there is less interference from possible environmental infra-red light interference. So there are at least three features which would help lead to a more accurate reading using the tympanic method. (some tympanic models require probe covers but if you don't like this type of plastic waste you can just reuse a probe cover after cleaning it with alcohol & write individuals initials on the base of the cover).

Grundsätzlich funktioniert das Thermometer wie gewünscht und die Werte weichen kaum im von den Messungen im Ohr ab. Allerdings schwanken die Messergebnisse sehr stark abhängig von der gemessenen Stelle , dass ist aber ein normales Verhalten.Es eignet sich super um bei den schlafenden Kindern die Temperatur zu kontrollieren ohne diese zu wecken.

Rewelacja, dobrze wykonany produkt. Działa rewelacyjnie już od kilka lat.

We’ve been using the iHealth No-Touch Forehead Thermometer for our infant, and it’s quickly become one of our most reliable tool for quick temperature checks. We have a couple under the arm, mouth or elsewhere, thermometers. The price is excellent, and it delivers readings that are consistently close to our traditional digital thermometer readings.What really stands out is how fast and easy it is to use, perfect for checking our son's temperature without upsetting him. Just a quick scan and we get an instant, clear reading on the LED display, which is great when he's upset and we just need the temp.It’s also sleek, modern-looking, and simple to operate even in low light. No complaints at all. Highly recommend for any household, especially with young kids!

This thermometer is a total game-changer, especially for monitoring small kids. So far, it's simple to use, incredibly fast, and very accurate.The non-contact feature is fantastic—no more waking up a sick child! Just a quick scan, and you get a reading instantly. It's truly an indispensable tool for any home. Highly recommend!

This no-touch thermometer has been a game changer. It gives readings in seconds, and I love that I can check temperatures without disturbing anyone—especially helpful with little ones. The screen is bright and easy to read, and the device feels lightweight but well made.The accuracy has been spot-on every time I’ve compared it to a traditional thermometer. It’s clean, hygienic, and perfect for quick checks during cold and flu season. Highly recommend for any household!

I really liked the quality of this product. It feels well-made, it is a thoughtful design. It fits naturally into your hand and the read button is easy to push when the device is a finger’s width from the middle of the patient’s forehead. Your hold can also be easily adapted to use on yourself. I also liked that it came with specific, concise usage and care instructions. And the vendor sent me additional information about storing it where the room temp would be about the same as the room it would be used in - very helpful, there is no confusion here. It comes with a pair of batteries, too, which I would remove if it sat in storage unused for a long period of time. It comes boxed with a reusable protective plastic cradle for proper storage. I thoroughly tested the device for consistency and accuracy. Repeated readings are very consistent over the course of an hour, but as any topical thermometer, you must wait to use if there has been any activity like eating or drinking warm foods or exercising. This would have easily gotten 5 stars if had tested as accurate as my oral mercury thermometer. Maybe a half a degree to a full off on the cool side, but it’s ease and safety far outweigh taking temps the old fashioned way. Just be certain to hold it a finger’s width away from the centermost part of the forehead

This thermometer gives very accurate readings — almost the same as my baby’s rectal thermometer. It’s super easy to use! Just press the power button, wait for the three lines to appear, then place it on your loved one to check the temperature. Simple, quick, and reliable — perfect for parents! I also love that it’s battery-operated, making it convenient to use anytime.

Tamaño compacto. Magnifica lectura. Datos de lectura correctos, con ligera diferencia según donde se tome (frente, brazo,pierna), como es lógico. Se aprecia una diferencia de lectura de 0.2 grados con termómetro de contacto, que no supone ningún problema, pues un termómetro es para tener una idea real de la temperatura, y saber si hay fiebre o no la hay. Muy contento con la compra, pues tiene una buena relación calidad-precio.Me gusta que NO pite (pues vibra) al tomar la temperatura, con lo cual no despierta al bebé, si es a quien se la estás tomando..

I love this thermometer! It’s very easy to use, fast, and accurate. Just touch the forehead and you get the temperature in seconds. It works great with my baby and the whole family. Highly recommended!
