Love it
This is the second one I buy. I had mine for 8 years and bought this one because I gave mine to my brother that needed it one night and I bought this one for me. It’s durable and easy to use. Accurate also. Would recommend a lot

Have small children? Just buy this. Makes taking their temperature easier, quicker, and more reliable.

Easy to Use
Very nice ear scan thermometer. Very easy to use and as far as I can tell, it’s much quicker and more accurate then so many other “in the mouth”, forehead, etc. thermometers that I’ve used. I recommend it.However, it has a protective case that I can only unlatch with a small screwdriver!

Lasted 8 years
Works well. It lasted 8 years before the batteries corroded and it would not work when they were changed. Temperature seems very accurate. If you take it several times in a row it will give you the same reading. I plan to buy another one now that ours has bit the dust.

Failed to work properly after a short time
Jan 2021 update – several months ago, I called Braun support and explained the issue via email and a video showing the problem. They asked me to provide pictures of the serial number and send them in. I did, and they sent me a replacement. We have been using it without a problem to check out temperature often as I am still going to s work office and the kid goes to school. No issues and I love how easy it is to use it. Support was great too!The thermometer is very easy to read and accurate when compared to other simple thermometers (I used a strip one-use thermometer, a forehead thermometer, and a conventional mercury thermometer for comparison). ust as many others described here, this thermometer stopped working after merely 1.5 months after purchasing it. It started blinking constantly until I removed the batteries. After that, it would only give me one reading and then locked up until I removed the batteries again. Then I found a different way of using it… holding the power button for one sec would make the thermometer beep and allow me to get a reading. A few tries and it would locked up again. I intend to contact the manufacturer and see what they say, but so far, I had the same situation that others described in their reviews but I chose to ignore given the manufacturer’s reputation. I wish I would’ve “listened” to the warning of others.

it’s easy to make a mental correction
There are three metrics for a body thermometer: accuracy, consistency and safety. The gold standard for the first two properties was the old mercury thermometer, which relied on the simplest of physical principles. Sadly, it failed on the last count. Individuals were rarely injured, but the overall environmental effect wasn’t acceptable. So the gold standard is gone.Digital thermometers exist in several forms. They’re generally safe (as long as disposed of properly), so the remaining metrics are accuracy and consistency. Of those, consistency may be the more important. If a thermometer is a consistent half-degree off, it’s easy to make a mental correction. After all, you’re more interested in the trend–not necessarily an completely accurate number.I had a little shoot-out between the Braun and a cheap grocery store digital thermometer. At four different periods in the day, I took my temperature several times in rapid succession (My wife wandered into the room at one point when I had one thermometer in my mouth and the other in my ear. I was happy the camera wasn’t nearby). The results were quite surprising. The oral thermometer gave me reliable measurements that didn’t vary by more than a tenth of a degree over the 5-minute measurement period. The Braun was all over the place, at one point swinging over a 1.2 degree (Fahrenheit) range. The measurement from left to right ear was never the same, but never in a predictable way. At its best, the variance was .3 (three-tenths) of a degree. That’s three times worse than the oral thermometer at its worst.I’ve always liked the tasteful appearance and solid quality of Braun products. But whether it’s a product problem or a basic problem with the reliability of the ear measurement, it’s hard to recommend it.

Tengo mas de 6 termómetros, de todos los tipos y marcas. Inclusive uno marca braun pero otro modelo. Con todos las temperaturas me daban valores no lógicos. Mi pediatra me recomendó este modelo y de verdad que excelente! Coincide con el valor de uno de mercurio.
