IPROVEN Digital Ear Thermometer for Adults, Kids and Babies [Fast, Accurate and Easy to Use] Ear and Forehead Mode, LED Display, Fever Alarm and 35 Memory Slots, iProven DMT-511

I've been using the iProven DMT-511 Ear & Forehead thermometer for a few weeks now, to familiarize myself with what our family member's normal readings are to help compare when they do have a fever. First I would like to say that this thermometer works for any age, not only kids, as the packaging led me to believe. However, the ear option is only for people older than 3 months. There was a little bit of a learning curve for me to get accurate readings, I highly recommend to anyone that purchases it to read the instructions!They are clear and helpful, exception is that I learned I needed to apply a bit more pressure to keep the sensor on the forehead for the reading to be accurate. When I thought I was following the instructions I consistently got a reading that was too low. Just be sure there is enough pressure to keep the sensor on the skin while moving from temple to temple and it works beautifully! You can also test the temp of an object, for example bath or bottle.The thermometer also comes with a protective drawstring bag and clear instructions on how to use.Pros: consistently accurate, option to use on forehead, in ear or test an object's temp, such as a bottle, bathwater, any object, sturdy/solid feel, fits nicely in the hand, quick result, clear instructions, bag for storage protection. There is a light the indicated green, yellow or red to help you know when temp is good or concerning.Cons: must keep thermometer fully on skin while swiping temple to temple is critical for an accurate readingI highly recommend this thermometer and would buy it again.

This thermomether has definitely made my life a lot easier. My toddler is so squirmy and taking his temperature always involves way too much time and tears. The forehead function is pretty straight forward, minimum touch, and most of all, very quick! I'd definitely recommend this for the price. The instructions are clearly written and I haven't had any difficulty with the process.The material itself seems sturdy enough for long time use. Unfortunately, my kid has gotten a hold of it and thrown it on the ground a few times. But the thermometer hasn't shown any signs of damage yet. The backscreen shows very large numbers and is very nicely lit. It's aesthetically pleasing enough for being a thermometer with a comofortable weight and shape to hold. It comes in a nice black pouch that (mostly) keeps it safe from my kid.We measure temperatures when kids are probably already grumpy so this lack of extra steps and added time is very convenient. Overall, I think it was a nice buy and I'd recommend this to other moms with small kids.

The product looks great and is easy to use, with clear instructions about its features. The only issues I have are the fact I have to completely restart the product in order to take a second reading, which was not explained in the instructions. The second issue I have is the instructions describe an attachment to take readings in your ear that either must be purchased separately or I did not recieve. Other than that I am very happy with how quick and easy it is to take a temperature reading and it keeps a history list of readings.

this is a really high quality thermometer. It's definitely one that you want to have if you have kids. You need something accurate. You can use this to scan the forehead or to take a temperature in the ear for more accuracy. It's nice to have those options especially when your child is sleeping and you want to quickly take a temp. It has three different lights to indicate the temperature. Green to let you know that the temperature is not concerning, yellow to let you know to keep an eye on things and red to signal a fever. This is a well-known brand for a reason. Whenever I talk to someone about what type of thermometer they use a lot of people talk about this one. The pictures on it make it really easy to understand. The buttons are really easy to use. I like that it is convenient enough to take with me when I travel. I also have multiple so I can have one upstairs and one downstairs. The battery life is superb. I'm very surprised that how long the batteries last. I can't say enough good things about it..

When we first got this, it seemed to be pretty accurate. I could tell my daughter had a fever and it was registering between 100-102. However within just a couple days the accuracy completely stopped working and now it is clearly giving incorrect readings . Temperatures are usually in the 95-96 range which is ridiculously low for our family on average. It is also a different temperature each time you try it even multiple times in a row.Switching it from a forehead reader to an ear thermometer is also a bit tricky. The cap used for the forehead comes off and then you will see the ear thermometer part. I could not figure that out myself and based on other reviews, it is clearly not obvious to people. My teenage daughter figured it so maybe it depends on the user. Ha ha. I don’t recommend this though because it ended up being a worthless waste of money and since I tossed the packaging I doubt I can return it.

Edit: I am adding two stars to this review. Customer Service reached out to correct the defective product. They were very easy to work with. If you have an issue I recommend reaching out to them.The temperature readings for this thermometer are on average about 4° lower than what they should be. Temperatures for people that felt well in the room were roughly 94°. We did not realize my son had a temperature of 102 until using a different thermometer to confirm he had a fever like we suspected. Realize the thermometer was not reading correctly the day after my eligible return date. Wish we would have realized this sooner so that I would be able to return this product.
