Safety 1st Ear Digital Thermometer with Fever Light 1-Second

My son had a fever. I knew if I could tell just by touching him. I took out this product got three inaccurate readings. Such as 98.7, 96.5 and 97.7. That could not be right my son was burning up! I tried one last time and guess what..IT NEVER TURNED BACK ON! Without warning it just died . I was and am beyond frustrated. I've never felt such disappointment in a product that has to do with my child health. I really would like a refund and for safety1st products to be tested better.

When Reading the reviews and everyone is saying the battery life is short because "LO"is always showing. People that doesn't mean it's your battery. It's telling you the temperature taken is below a fever. Do yourself a favour and read the information that comes with it. It's one of the simplest thermometers I've used. Don't overthink it.

This thermometer is terrible. My son has a temp of over 101 with a under arm thermometer, this one only says 97.3. It makes my son cry every time we try to use it, and the buttons on it don't make sense. Don't waste your money I know I wish I didnt.

Received this as a gift, but can't figure out how to use it. I don't know why it's so complicated. I lost the manual and instructions won't download, I had to change the battery the first time I tried using it. They should have labeled the buttons.

I came yo the product page to get the instruction manual and was surprised to see all the negative reviews. We've had several grocery-store-cheap digital under-arm thermometers and those are terrible. We've also had 'nice' thermometers that were clearly superior to the grocery store brands. When our last one broke (the kido tried prying something open with it) we decided to go premium and got this one. I would say it's accurate and easy to use and fast (Trifecta!). It's also easy to read (even in a dark room) and easy to operate. I'm not sure how reviewers say it's hard to use. It's one button to turn it on/measure and another button to turn it off. It's also well built and comfortable to hold. The best feature is the "1 second" read time -- it really is one second -- which is great considering a lot of the 6- or 10-second thermometers take a lot longer than advertised.
