Exergen TAT-2000C Temporal Artery Forehead Thermometer for Baby Kids Adults | Displays Temperature Reading, Soft Glow, Silent Mode, Wipe Clean Sensor, 8 Reading Memory, 9V Battery Included for Family Use

I love this thing. Anytime the mirror isn’t doing me any favors, I turn to this thermometer for a second opinion. One day it tells me I’m cool 😎, the next day it says I’m hot 🔥—honestly, the confidence boost alone is worth it.All jokes aside, it’s incredibly easy to use and seems very accurate. I especially love not having to disinfect it after every use like an oral thermometer, and I don’t have to deal with buying refills or wasting plastic like with ear thermometers. I take my temperature daily, so it’s super convenient to just grab and go.It has memory, so if you forgot to write down the last reading or if it powers off before you record it, you can easily look back.Bonus: my 8-year-old can use it all by himself without any issues, which says a lot about how simple it is.

Works great, way easier then the point and shoot ones, well at least if your trying to do it to a baby or a toddler, lol, also a lot more accurate too

Having previously tried several ear and forehead thermometers, I had concluded that they were just annoying to use and/or hopelessly inaccurate. Based on some general research, as well as other reviews I decided to give this one a try. I am pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use - hold it against the center of the forehead, press the button until it beeps and slide gently to the left (or right, I guess) over to the temple. It'll beep a few more times, but is ready to read. I checked it against normal temps and also compared it with some known accurate traditional methods in fever situations; I conclude that it's one of the most accurate thermometers I've owned. The only caveat I would mention is that if the place it's stored is on the chilly side, the readings seem to be more accurate if I take a minute or two to warm it up under a shirt to point where it no longer feels cold to the touch. Not sure why that is, but for me it produced the best results. Overall, highly recommended.

Accurate and easy to use. This is our 3rd one in the past 20 years. The others still work, we just needed another one

This has become my go-to thermometer of the 3 different kinds I have at home. It is consistent and reliable. This was recommended to me by a nurse at the children’s hospital

verry good

Very easy to use

Supposedly the forehead-wipe system is very accurate. All I know is that this one tells me I am running a fever when old-school oral thermometers say I am 1 degree below normal. It also gives readings that vary by as much as 2 degrees from one pass to the next.In addition, it is not easy to use. First, even though there are multiple functions, there is only one control button. No doubt some product designer thought this would "keep it simple" but of course it just makes it confusing, to have the same button record a temperature, display memorized temperatures, switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and turn a beeper on and off. Second, it is almost impossible to open the battery compartment. I had to pry it with a screwdriver. Third, the "low battery" display is ambiguous and confusing. Fourth, the instructions are difficult to follow. "Scan horizontally over to the hairline" is not helpful, since "hairline" is not well defined and bald people have no hairline at all. A few clear drawings could help, but instead there are tiny photographs which are unclear. And then there are cautionary notes that some may find difficult or inconvenient. Such as not scanning across scar tissue. Too bad if you have a scar on your forehead! And then lastly, because the device seems to measure radiant heat from the forehead, which will vary depending on room temperature, the device has to factor in room temperature, which means you cannot use it immediately after moving it from a cooler environment to a warmer environment. You have to wait about half an hour for it to equilibrate.Add it all up, and this appears to have been designed by techies who didn't refine it for real-world use. And the techies then wrote their own instruction manual.Oh, and the packaging is impossible to open unless you use a knife, which may damage the device inside.I'm going to continue using an old-school oral thermometer.
