ADC Temple 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!

Accurate readings

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.

My son recently had pneumonia (at 6 years old). It started with a severe fever. I had just a bit earlier, bought this thermometer because of the ease, speed and (yeah) the reviews I read.This thermometer UNDER-read his temperature, when his temperature was actually 107.4 degrees! YEAH! With this thermometer, it read just a bit over 102 degrees. I didn't believe the 102 degrees because of how HOT my son felt and used a traditional thermometer - immediately got him into a bath, and rushed him to the hospital. He's all better now, but this thermometer, during the course of his illness would read low, read high...I tested it on myself, and it would read a correct temperature, right after reading an incorrect temperature from my feverish son.I tested it against my son by repeatedly taking his temperature. Five tries, within a minute, got five different temperatures, ranging from BELOW normal to dangerously high! (all the while my son's actual temperature was moderately feverish!An incorrect temperature reading has potentially life threatening consequences! THIS thermometer placed my son's life at risk! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It is a waste of money...I expect no refund...it is land-fill-fodder! (and since it's mostly made of plastic, it will remain a thousand year testiment to incredibly poor manufacturing quality...unless I smash it before I trash it.)

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!
