Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This thermometer works like this:
you press a button to turn it on, you'll hear 1 beep to signal battery is ok. Then you stick it in the ear, and wiggle it around until you hear two beep which signals that you've positioned it correctly. Once you hear the two beeps, hold it in that position and press the button again to mark the result.
Ignore the other reviewers' comments on inaccuracy.
The key to this and *ALL* ear thermometers is you have to practice getting it placed correctly in the ear channel. At least this model tells you that you've put it in the correct position, with the 2 beeps sequence. Once you've practiced getting it right, I get fairly consistent readings.
The difference between this and a $10 rectal thermometer reading is 0.2*F. The difference can easily be accounted for because you're measuring two different parts of the body.
This model is spec'd to be accurate within +/- 0.5* F, (same as the $10 rectal thermometer, by the way).
Even though I don't know how accurate other brand's are spec'd to be, but I'm pretty sure you can't get much better than this in terms of accuracy. For goodness sacks, temperature readings could be thrown off by 1 or 2*F by the earwax in your ear or whether you had a cold beverage in the past couple of minutes.
Expecting any more is unreasonable in my opinion.
