Braun ThermoScan 7 Ear Thermometer, Digital Thermometer for Adults and Children,, FSA & HSA Eligible, Black, IRT6520BUS

My only complaint with this thermometer is that you have to select the age range every single time you turn it on and the previous temp is displayed for way too long. I use this on my animals so I am not always poking their bottoms and this thing takes like 15 to 20 seconds to start up and get the age selected before I can finally use it. It's just a slight inconvenience honestly, but it's still a little frustrating when I am trying to use it quickly.

I have a 5-year-old daughter who is in public school in kindergarten and, well, the sickness is always rampant. Flu, Covid, strep, RSV, you name it, it's going around. So I wanted a good quality thermometer to have to use for when she's sick. I also wanted one that seemed as if it would last a long time as I'm sure we'll need it in 1st grade too and so on so forth. I love this thermometer! I love that it has a backlight, so it makes checking her temp in the dark easy, I don't have to turn on lights to read the temp and wake her up. The backlight also changes colors between blue for good, yellow for low grade, and red for high, which is also good because I can tell just by the color what to expect. It has a pre-warmed tip so it's comfortable for her. I also love the fact that it comes with the little case to keep it in. And it can even be used on my 5-month-old niece because it has the function where you can change between 0-3 months, 3-36 months, and 36 months. It also stores the last 9 temperature readings, so you can keep up with how the temperature is changing/responding to meds. It's also very sturdy and feels like great quality, it doesn't feel cheap. Batteries were also included which is a plus, especially for how expensive it is to begin with. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this thermometer and will buy this brand again should this one ever break or stop working. If you have a little or littles like I do in public school, then you know a thermometer is a necessity, and this one is definitely worth the money.
