Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermoscan 1-second Read Thermometr , 1-second Read-out
Customer Review: temp reading too high
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a nurse and know how to use this thermometer and it is very inaccurate. I have taken my childrens temperature and it is consistantly in the 100's and they are not even sick. Do not waste your money. Customer Review: VERY Accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this thermometer! I actually bought my first one two years ago from Children's Hospital recomendation. My son had been very sick and all three hospital's we had to go to used this one. Any inaccurate reading is either usuer error or narrow canals. I only have to get a new one because it got lost in the move.
Customer Review: A Good Purchase - a review of the Braun Ear thermometer
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the one I buy for friends and the one they use at my pediatricians office. It is like the one I bought 5 years ago with my first baby, the one that is still humming along.
I have been really happy with our thermometer with the exception that it was-and-is still too big to use with my second child, a boy who persists in having 'tiny' ear canals even though he is three now. It has worked well for every other kid I know though.
About the variation in temperature taking. My advice is to practice taking your and your children's temperature while you and they are healthy. For one thing, not everyone has the `standard' 98.6 degree normal temperature; and for another thing it isn't always easy to get the tip pointed in the right direction once it is in the ear canal. It takes practice.
A good home purchase. (For really little babies we used a pacifier thermometer with great success.)
Customer Review: Completely useless
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried this thermometer on my baby and then even on myself when I couldn't get a consistent reading. The temperatures were so varied it was completely useless!! Very disappointed!! I returned it without even the box.Customer Review: Inaccurate
Summary: 2 Stars
This thermometer often proves to be unreliable. On more than one occassion my daughter has had a fever and the thermometer read one thing and then we get to the doctor's office (about 1.5 miles from my house) and their's was completely different. Granted they are taking their's rectally, which is most accurate. One instance our Braun read 102 and at the doctors it was 104! When you are talking about a fever this high there is no room for error. It's happened on more than one occassion...now we are on the search for the "perfect" thermometer. I have yet to find it and we are now on thermometer #3.
