Infrared Thermometer for Ear & Forehead | Fast & Accurate Temperature Reading

I don't have any way to independently check the accuracy or calibration of this thermometer, but I've found it to be more consistent across several readings than other thermometers we own. It's also quicker and easier to use, and the versatility of using it on the forehead or in-ear is nice. The battery hasn't died yet since we've had it, so I imagine it'll last a few years of normal use. It's functional and well-priced, and I have no complaints.

Spot on ear temp , better then the forehead style .

I have a similar forehead only unit, and sometimes I’m skeptical of it. This gives me a second unit plus an option to check inside the ear instead. Easy to use and intuitive for the two different modes. I got the same reading as my other forehead thermometer, just as fast, and just as easy to use. To read from the ear instead you just pull the forehead adapter off and you are ready to use it in ear instead. It even lights up in case you are working in the dark. (I assume it isn’t because they expect you to have trouble finding the ear canal in a well lit room)

I ordered this AET-R842 FDA 510(k) Cleared Medical Grade Infrared Thermometer to have on hand for cold and flu season. First of all, my pediatrician said that the rectal temp is still the gold standard in babies under 1 year old. He said this thermometer is not what he would recommend for a child under 1 year. Talk to your own pediatrician. With that being said, this thermometer was ordered for an older child.I used it on myself, my little boy, and my husband. I used it at the same time with another ear thermometer I have. I also used it at the same time with a glass thermometer I have that I used orally. This thermometer proved accurate enough. There is much to consider though because I found when I did not follow the directions with correct positioning of the ear that it was not as accurate. Follow the directions carefully. There is an easy to follow booklet included.There are 2 AAA batteries included along with a handy storage pouch. The reading is fast. It is just one second. It is the fastest thermometer reading I have ever seen. I like that this stores the last 32 readings. The display is bright and easy to read. The thermometer is so lightweight that at first I thought it felt cheap, but it does seem sturdy and durable. This is a good quality thermometer, and I think it is a great value.

I bought this for my baby who hates the armpit thermometer. She doesnt not mind this at all and it so far has seemed fairly accurate. I like it has the option for temple or ear temperature checks.
