ADCTemple Touch Digital LCD Fever Thermometer, Non Invasive and Quick Read, Suitable for Babies, Newborns, Kids, and Adults, Adtemp 427, White

This was being used by the home health nurses assisting my husband so I finally asked what brand it was thinking if professional healthcare staff were using it, it must be good. BINGO. I threw out 5 other almost useless digital thermometers and now have one that actually is simple to use and works all the time. Those point-n-shoot ones are notoriously inaccurate and it’s inconvenient to have to place a sheath on oral thermometers. It cleans quickly with an alcohol prep pad. Would buy it again.

Is easy to use and gets temp within a few seconds. The readings seem to be right too.

I bought this for my granddaughter because the rectal thermometer is just a hassle. This works great and I can take her temperature while she’s asleep.

How much easier is this to use! Roll across the forehead and done! Perfect!

I love how small this thermometer is. I actually got this one to compare to my other one and they read the same exact temperature. So id say it’s very accurate!

I've had this thermometer for close to a year now and the readings have always been a bit too high. It's drifting even further upward with my tests today. I've taken 3 different readings and it says that I have an average temperature of 100ºF, which is definitely a fever. I was alarmed, so I cross-checked with an under-the-tongue traditional thermometer that I have, and those readings are normal at 97.5ºF. This thermometer is very easy to use and takes very quick readings, but I would NOT rely on it for precision.

So finicky that you basically can't trust it.I just took my kid's temperature 7 times with this thing, being careful to press the sensor in the dimple of her temple each time. Then I took her temperature in the surrounding areas near her temple. All readings showed 97°.She's visibly feverish so I took her temperature my backup thermometer and got 102.4°.This backup thermometer seems accurate since the other, healthy, members of my family are showing normal temperatures on it. So I do think that this issue is related to this forehead thermometer - It's not accurate.

From reading others' reviews, it sounds like some number of customers must have gotten bum units. I bought mine in October 2020 to replace a failing Exergen thermometer because throughout last year I had to measure my daughter's temperature every morning before school and fill out an online form. This little thermometer has given incredibly consistent readings on each of us in the household, and knowing our baseline temps allows us to know when something is wrong. It takes longer to get a reading, and you have to wait before taking a second reading, but to me it's worth that wait. On the other hand, if you need to take a lot of consecutive readings, this probably won't work for you. One thing it's usability score would really benefit from is a backlight.The box mine came in indicated it was manufactured in Israel (LOT 2008-0068). The unit itself doesn't seem to have any information about place of manufacture. The page here on Amazon now (9/2021) states they're made in the USA. I guess it's possible they're pulling them from various factories and maybe the reliability is lower from certain places? Either way, I've been very satisfied with this product.
