I bought this product just after my LG was born and I'm still using it now nearly 4 years later. Apart from loosing the lid!! The product is still very much intact and works just as well as it did when I bought it. My only problem is that covers should be available when using with different members of the family.
It’s an amazing product, a little expensive, and the beep is loud however it is very accurate readings. Can be used in the ear or on the forehead (which you don’t have to make contact with the forehead) meaning if you don’t want to disturb the baby/child you wouldn’t as you don’t need to touch them. They only thing that may is the beep as stated earlier!
But overall would recommend
I found this easier to use and more accurate than thermometers I've had previously. It's nice not to faff around with probe covers, just wipe clean after use. It's easy to switch between ear and forehead though they can give different results so it's best to know what's normal for your child and go from there.
Easy to use and clean, fast results. Can use without contact with forehead even! However beeps really loud and price is quite high.. overall great item
Works quickly. Can be used on forehead or in ear. Stores previous temperature reading.

I have been using this for a couple of months now. It has a setting to change between forehead and in ear readings, it takes the reading really quickly and it has easy to follow instructions. However, there is quite a difference between the readings, the forehead setting usually reads alot higher than the in ear which really can cause confusion so I now only use it in ear. It stores the previous reading incase you forget what it was and it also doesn't allow you to take one reading after another, there should be atleast 10 seconds between readings and if you try to use it too early it will countdown from 10 on the digital screen to avoid mistakes. I would recommend this to a friend but only for the in ear setting.
2 ways to check temperature. Easy to clean. Accurate readings
Weaknesses:
Loud beep, and a bit pricey

This thermometer has been a life saver, especially when my son won't sit still enough to use an underarm thermometer. It took me and my partner a few minutes to work it out, but once we did, it's made monitoring our son a breeze! The only downside is when he's asleep, the beep is quite loud and high pitched that it can make him stir, not ideal if you're reading inner ear temperature for a sleeping baby!
This product is very easy to use, not much security and doesn’t show historical results, the buttons can be pressed when in a bag by accident and this then wastes the battery life. Maybe a few cleaning wipes could be provided as well.
Turns on even when accidentally pressed or put into a bag.

We chose this product as it can be used in both in-ear or forehead and is easy to use. Our preference is to use the ear for temperature for our baby but feel confident we know how to use either way. It is easy to read the screen and easy to use,
Should have done my research first, I thought this would be a great buy, as you can take temp from forehead and ear, but it difficult to use. Measures same temp every time,
Generally good, lasting product which is easy to use and provides accurate results quickly without having to pay a lot.
It says it’s 2in1 but actually there is a mode for checking home temperatures (I have turned it on by accident and the home icon comes up but I really do not know how i did it).
It’s very sensitive so it is important to remember to wipe it every time after use or the reading will not be accurate (even if just used in forehead mode).
Overall, I am very happy we chose this one!
Fast and accurate results, two ways of taking temperature.

Cannot turn off the beeps

This thermometer has helped me on a number of times when my little boy was 11 weeks he became really ill and within a couple of hours his temperature raised above 40 degrees and kept going up, helped me keep track of his fever and strip him down to reduce fever. I had to call ambulance in the end but at least it helped me passed on the information to the paramedics. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't mute the beeping sound, baby flinches with the beeping sound if asleep when I take his temperature.
I have been using this since my son was newborn and cannot fault it! He had a tummy bug recently and I took him to the doctor as a precaution as I am a first time mum and the doctor had asked what temperature readings I was getting at home with this device and he commented how good my thermometer must be as he got the exact same reading with his one!
