Gives same temp reading as rectal. this is very important when you have a child that gets 104° temperatures since the 1st question a pediatrician will ask is how the temperature was taken and most Pediatricians want either under arm or rectal readings for the most accurate recording. I am very thankful for this thermometer so I don't have to wake up my special needs child and they actually love to take there temperature this way and only this way. EASY TO CARRY in diaper bag as well

I bought this thermometer because I didnt want an oral thermometer. It works great and is easy to use. I think it has been accurate. It's also made in USA!

This is our 2nd one in 12 years, they work great and we have never had any issues with misreads, super easy and fast to use. I'm very sure our last one would have had a longer life had it not been dropped by the kiddos so much.

This thermometer is such a relief. My daughter hates when we take her temperature, finally we just have to give it a quick slide across her forehead and we have an accurate reading. Fast, consistent and the silent mode was a life saver when my toddler was sick and asleep.

Cheap quality. My previous exergen from 10 yrs ago was a better build. The button easily gets stuck in depressed position before popping back up. Also getting a very wide range if temperatures which makes me question its accuracy. Im using it correctly by keeping flush with the skin each time, but still getting very different results. Meh.

I would never buy this item again. depending on which side of your head you go on, you get a different reading. the blue cap on top comes off completely they don't tell you this, so if you leave that on you get a very low temperature reading. once I figured out that I had to come off but got a better temperature reading however, it's a piece of junk. definitely going back to the store

Not accurate at all. We have the older version of this and it worked like a dream. This is nothing like it. The temps are always WAY higher than what they should be.

The thermometer was used. It had a reading of 102.1 in the memory . The battery was already installed and i couldn't get the battery door open. Also whoever packaged the product left the alarm attached to the package.

This thermometer is sketchy and I can't use it for my family it reads incorrect temperatures over and over, how long do I have before it's too late to return?

Gets stuck in memory mode. Followed all instructions and googled how to exit, doesn't work. The button is also poorly made. Sometimes getting stuck inside thermometer once you push it in.
