Accurate simple thermometer
Very easy to use, provides accurate temperature. I have used other non contact that are wildly inaccurate. You can also turn off the beep sound which is helpful for night time temp checks. Temperatures are color coded which my 5 year old enjoys to see what “color” she is.

Worst thermometer ever
This is the worst thermometer you would ever buy. It gives vastly different temperatures every second. It makes no sense as to why it’s like that. It’s very inconsistent and makes parents very stressed and anxious. DO NOT BUY!! Sabe yourself those $45 and buy something else. I honestly found those old non-digital thermometers as the best working ones. The manufacturer and merchants should stop scamming customers and discontinue this item.

I bought this when my daughter was extremely sick. She was born with 2 holes in her heart and she had open heart surgery at months old. So she is sick often with colds and things like that. She seems to pick up each and every kind of illness the kids at school pass along lol. This thermometer is the absolute best. I can take her temperature at any time without waking her up. It's always accurate and a must have in the house when you had kids.

Stopped working in 3 months
We bought this 3 months ago and it already will not read any body temp. It will read surface temps, but once placed in body temp mode it will not read. A lot of money spent on something that doesn't work.

We’re sorry to hear about the issue with your Homedics No Contact Infrared Digital Thermometer. It’s frustrating when a product stops working as expected, especially after such a short time. If the thermometer is not reading body temperature but works in other modes, try the following troubleshooting steps: Check the Battery: Ensure the batteries are fully charged or replace them with new ones. Low battery power can affect functionality. Clean the Sensor: Gently wipe the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting readings.

Inaccurate
My baby was hot to the touch but this read 97.6. I did an ear thermometer for him and it read 101. I’m throwing it away, it’s useless. I’ve tried many many many times

Unsafe
Reads your temp way lower than it actually is. This is blatantly unsafe especially when you have infants and toddlers.

So accurate
I have used this thermometer for about a year now and it has held up the best than any other one we’ve used…. And we’ve used so many different ones.

98.6 or 103.4? I don’t know and neither will you. It’s just awful.

Inconsistent and inaccurate
As others have said, it’s very inconsistent. I got reads up to 108 on my 5 yr old then moments later 104, then 99. She’s undoubtedly febrile, but the variance is just ridiculous.

Not accurate
Not accurate. Took multiple readings within minutes, and they were all off by 1.5 degrees each direction. When dealing with a baby/toddler with high temperature, accuracy is the difference between monitoring at home, and an ER trip.

Not worth it
Baby had a fever but temperature taken in middle of forehead said it was normal. Temperature behind ear was very high. Had to borrow a neighbors thermometer to get an accurate reading which was somewhere in the middle of both readings.

Inaccurate reading
Got this as a gift & I have a newborn it said she had a temp so I took her to the ER turns out she doesn’t have a temp. It’s very inaccurate and like the other reviews say it changes within seconds.

Wildly inaccurate, cheap.
Readings change wildly even when nothing else does. It’s impossible to know if children are safe if they’re 102 at one reading and 104.9 at a reading taken seconds later. Is there any quality control? How does this cost so much and still perform so poorly? I paid for the most expensive thermometer in the store thinking I would get good quality, but I was so wrong.
