IPRO Baby Forehead Thermometer Gun Purple Non Contact Body Digital Measurement Home Pediatric Use Instant Results with 50 Reading Memory for Children/Kids/Adults&Object Surface/Animals/Pets (Purple)

The good: AccurateThe bad: Clunky to use, short on featuresNarrative: 1) What I like the most about this device is it's accuracy. I tested it against several other thermometers, including a good-old-fashioned stick-it-in-your-mouth mercury thermometer, and this device read the identical temperature to the gold-old standby. The other thermometers, including 4 other infrared and a digital stick-it-in-your-mouth type, were all off by a few tenths of a degree from this and the old-fashioned one. And those others were inconsistent with each other. Barring ownership of a science-grade, professionally calibrated thermometer, I can only assume that thermometers that agree with each other are more accurate, particularly so if they match the old nearly-impossible-to-get-wrong oral thermometers of yore sold in drug-stores.2) The device is quite easy to use: aim it squarely at the person's forehead 2-6 inches away, squeeze the trigger, wait for the beep, read the temperature.3) Additionally, it's lack of a requirement to have the thermometer touch the subject is a blessing Sick people can get cranky. Sick babies fuss, making dragging or placing an infrared thermometer on the skin problematic. Also, how many times have you wanted to quickly check on a sick, but sleeping child and not wake them from the rest they so desperately need?As a bonus, the device can be used to read the temperature of other objects from 32'F to 212'F/0'C to 100'C. I tried my wall. It seemed close enough. I guess my ice is too cold. I stopped testing that feature after the ice-fail.Now the complaining (take it for what it's worth):First off, the "English" in the manual is not more gooder. Not only is the manual's "English" smaller than spectacular, the proof-reading is similarly more badder. And these aren't rookie mistakes, like an auto translate problem, there are entire sentences repeated repeated in lists and inaccurate information. I should say "I get it," speaking several languages myself and living with other multi-linguists with non-English primary languages, however nowadays with global trade the way it is and English instruction required in many countries, and dozens of countries around the globe with English as their official or only language, "laziness," or "indifference" are the only realistic reasons I can cite.Secondly, there is no aiming laser. The manual says there is one, but there isn't. It's not a huge deal, because it's intended purpose is mainly to read body temperatures with the device close to the subject, plus having a visible laser may (or may not) represent an additional risk of retinal damage by accidentally pointing it in the patient's eyes, but if there isn't a laser, along with fixing grammar and doing basic proof-reading, omit incorrect information. How hard is that?Thirdly, why digital human thermometers seem obsessed with recording and saving dozens of taken temperatures escapes me. I need a diary of temperatures for what? Time isn't recorded, so having a series of temperatures is mostly useless, unless the user can't manage to write stuff down, and then one wonders if having no time-series data to accompany those recorded temps is actually providing ANY value to this information. My experience is that when somebody is sick, the last thing you want to do is sit down and scour technical manuals for information on how to use basic tools, then you're looking up how to read past temperatures, and then "is the list latest first or latest last?" Andonandon. This sort of feature merely complicates the device's use. If the whole pen/paper thing is too much to manage, having electronic recordings makes even less sense. Which leads me to...Fourthly, and THE MOST ANNOYING FEATURE is that there is no ON/OFF switch. The machine turns itself off. You have no control one way or the other. Plus it takes 20 seconds (or so) to turn off. So if you blew a reading accidentally, you have to stand there waiting for auto off to shut the thing down to take a reading again. It's another "last thing you want to do" when you have a sick person, especially a sick child, you're concerned with. Which similarly leads me to...Fifthly, WHY is there a manual? THERE SHOULD BE NO MANUAL required to use the device. This is a consumer-grade product, in 2017, used for medical stuff when you're already trying to manage an inherently stressful situation. Thermometers aren't a new concept. Just make a product that is SO OBVIOUS to use you can pick it up and use it. We're not launching satellites here or building box-girder bridges, we're taking temperatures. Devices to do this should be so dead-simple to use that nearly anyone, educated or not, intelligent or not, can use it without cracking open a 13-page instruction booklet with mispellings, badly grammar, repeated repeated sentences and right (no, scratch that), wrong information.All in all, I'm keeping it. It's accuracy and no-touch-the-patient feature make it a "keeper" in my health-care tool-kit.

Appears to work great and is easy to use. We checked to see if we got the same readout with our existing thermometers and got the same readings. I researched several types and models and decided to go with this one because of the choices/options on the side of the thermometer.

It took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but it works great! I can convert in from farenheit to celcius, and you don't have to change covers, because you don't touch the person. If the person has a temperature, it shows red on the screen, so no guesswork. The price was very competitive and the service was great. Thank you!

This was very hard to figure out how to use. The instructions were confusing and it's hard to get my toddler to sit still to try to take his temp. Easier to use a regular thermometer.

excellent product, practical and easy to use, recommend, good option for its price !!

Great Product! Fast delivery! I'm very happy with this purchase!

So far, not impressed with this product. Box came in slightly dented in and this was a Christmas gift. Next, I gave this to my son over Thanksgiving weekend and he's not impressed either. The press on panels on both sides where the buttons are located had to be all repressed down and held for at least a minute before they stuck properly. Batteries on and tried to get it working and it's not doing that well. Sounded like the instructions do an ok job of telling you the features, but lousy job of giving details to someone whose never had one of these before. The F setting can't be saved as default, it appears and the temps don't stay long enough to be read. They were inconsistent with a normal thermometer done on my son as well. I'm trying to return the defective product & now it appears they want me to pay shipping costs, which I don't agree with. Therefore, never buying from this company for sure and will buy local, even if it's a few bucks more. Worst purchase so far in baby products. Sad, because I was really hoping this would work.

Not accurate. Had to return it. Not recommended.
