We have owned this thermometer for over a year now and it's slowly angered me more and more each time my daughter gets sick. This unit is always inconsistent. I always have to take her temperature in each ear and the results are never the same. Today for instance I got a reading of 99.9 in one ear (no fever) and 101.3 in the other (fever!) I am aware that taking temperatures in the ear often gives a less accurate reading but these two readings are no where near each other. My daughter has become quite accustomed to having her temperature read in both ears so much so, that she asks the doctor to do both when she sees him. The screen is easy to read in the middle of the night but it's no helpful when the readings are so inaccurate. The "one simple" button thing is obnoxious. My daughter was playing with it and switched it to Celsius and it was all but near impossible to switch it back. Doing the conversion at 2:30 a.m. was not an enjoyable experience for us. I say skip this unit- it's a waste of your hard earned money, your time and, most importantly, your patience. Patience you'll need when your little ones are sick.qGet more detail about Mabis Healthcare Instant Ear Thermometer, White.
