Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermoscan 1-second Read Thermometr , 1-second Read-out
Customer Review: Look under Kitchen and Housewares to find replacement lens!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had my Braun for about 4 years. I really like it. It is so easy to use. I am having another baby in May and I couldn't do without it. I have had a hard time finding replacement lens filters for it. I did find them on Amazon. You have to look under the kitchen and houseware department in the personal care section under Braun. It would be easier if Amazon would list it with the baby stuff since that is where we find the thermoscan in the first place. I thought I would never find them.Customer Review: Not the most accurate thermometer
Summary: 2 Stars
FYI...my baby was delivered at 35 weeks causing a stay in the neonatal icu. I was considering purchasing this thermometer before our arrival until I asked a couple of nurses if it was better than the under the arm thermometer that they use. they use the under the arm because it is the most accurate reading. The ear readings can be very inconsistent according to different factors such as which ear they use and position of the ear and lack of steady contact. I will be using the under the arm when my girl gets home. just wanted to pass the info along.Customer Review: Works Great, But...

We got this to use with our newborn before we knew that you're not supposed to use an ear thermometer with infants. We use it anyway, and it works great. It's easy to use and fast to take a temperature. The only drawback is that you have to use a new tip cover everytime, so you have to keep refills on hand. (You can't just wipe it with alcohol like you do a glass thermometer.)Customer Review: Very useful, definitely worth $30!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two boys age 2 and 4 and have gotten A LOT of use out of ours over the past 4 years. Very reliable, useful and durable. It is great to be able to get the same reading as a rectal (the only reading doctors ask for) without the hassle of actually taking it rectally. Or trying to keep track of what different readings mean depending on how you took them (underarm, oral, rectal). As for the folks who have a problem getting an accurate reading -- 1) you just need to make sure you get it in the ear correctly (not difficult) and 2) I take the highest of three readings (which takes seconds). I mean, as a mom and not a doctor, I just need to know if its 101,2 or 3 and whether its going up or going down. (I have never seen a thermometer that would give the exact same reading to the decimal point three times in a row.)Customer Review: I Love It!!!

This themometer works wonderful if you know how to use it. You must replace the lens cover every time you take a temp to have an accurate reading. It is so easy to use, no waiting. My child cries when you make him hold the themometer under his arm and he is just a baby so he can't hold it in his mouth! I would recommend it for everyone...it's not just for children!
