About this deal

One component we really liked about this thermometer is that it automatically shuts off after eight seconds. This will save your battery, which is important if you’re using the thermometer on the go. It also passed our durability test with flying colors, with no breakage when dropped against our hardware floor.

For newborns up to age four, it is best to take their temperature under the armpit or rectum [while] children older than two can also have their temperature taken by ear,” says Dr. Johnston. “It’s also common to take a temperature orally once a child can sit long enough and they are able to hold a thermometer under their tongue, and most adults use oral thermometers.” The thermometer beeps when a reading is ready, and the screen is easy to see. It also recalls the last reading taken when it's turned on, has an auto shut-off feature, and we like that it can be used rectally and under the arm with infants and small children. Patented technology captures twice as much body heat to ensure accurate results (in comparison to the competition)We took our temperature with both methods and found about a degree difference between the two. Our ear canal readings were more accurate — and consistent — which is exactly what we expected, since the instructions state that the ear is more of an “exact measurement” and head mode is an “indicative measurement.” With that being said, the thermometer comes in a great storage bag — something that most thermometers don’t provide — and is extremely easy to use without having to read the full directions manual. It’ll record your last 20 temperature readings, has the capability to change the fever alert threshold based on your own body temperature and offers a one-second reading. Our guide will help you choose the best digital thermometer. We also explain the different types available, how much you can expect to pay and the best place to buy one.

The Mobi CONNECT Smart DualScan Bluetooth Ear & Forehead Thermometer sets up easily with a connected app, and gives color coded readings in about two seconds. We found in testing that the temperatures were not consistent or accurate so other thermometers on the list may be a better choice for similar features.Ease of reading results - Is the result displayed digitally or do you need to measure and interpret the reading yourself? Does it give a reading in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, or can you alternate between the two? If you’re worried your child is unwell, the sooner you can see the result the better.

As we tested, we found that the app was easy to set up however, if you want to use the thermometer without it, the process is not intuitive and you have to bypass the app after each reading. The temperature readings were ready in about two seconds, consistent throughout our tests, indicated by a sound, and displayed with large numbers for easy reading. The Braun No-Touch also works by holding it directly on the forehead, which might be easier if you’re taking your own temperature. This is not an option available on many other no-touch thermometers. If you need to take the temperatures of multiple people, the no-touch option will reduce cross-contamination and lessen the risk of spreading germs.

Analysis and Test Results

Dr. Johnston also flags the issue of cleaning and caring for your thermometer. Thermometers with a probe will require cleaning after use, she explains, while infrared thermometers won’t since they’re not used internally. When you are looking for a thermometer, you should focus on finding the one that is easiest for you to read and use,” says Srini K. Hejeebu, MD, internal medicine specialist at The University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, adding that this will probably be some kind of digital thermometer for the majority of people. But there are ease of use concerns that can vary depending on age; for example, an infant might not be able to hold still for a forehead or ear reading, and older children are likely to resist a rectal one.

From the beginning, we were intrigued with the ThermoWorks Wand — especially since a delicious bag of jelly beans came in the box. It doesn’t look like any other thermometer we’ve seen before, and at such an expensive price point, we had high hopes.Similar to the other Kinsa brand thermometer we tested, we found readings to be accurate and consistent, but the app needs to be installed first before you can take your temperature. This thermometer provides consistent readings and has a memory function for up to 32 temperatures. It can also be used to measure the temperature of the room, a bath, and food. And we like that it has an auto shut-off so you don't have to remember to turn it off, saving battery life. Amongst the four readings when taken in our ear canal — which is considered to be more accurate than a forehead reading — we ranged anywhere between 96.9 degrees Fahrenheit and a 97.2 degrees Fahrenheit. So although the readings were consistent, we didn’t feel it would do the best job actually identifying a fever. On the forehead, we then again saw consistent readings, but at a 99.5-degree temperature. While the directions state that “the measured forehead temperature can fluctuate up to 1 degree Fahrenheit,” we saw a significant difference between the two, which we didn’t see with our other thermometers that have multiple reading options.
