Touchless Smart Infrared Thermometer with LCD Digital Screen (3-in-1 Measurement) for Adult and Kid, Temperature Gun Reading Detection on Forehead and Ear (Battery NOT Included)

This is an amazing thermometer and I highly recommend it! I've been using traditional thermster until trying this one. I think we all kind of got used to waiting 5-10 seconds to get a reading, which is crazy, considering the technology we have available nowadays. With the infrared thermometer, you will get an accurate temperature reading within a click. I did take some time trying it out in different scenarios to make sure it's as accurate as a traditional thermostat (the ones you put under the tongue). The candycare thermostat was very accurate (up to 0.1-0.2 difference from traditional ones). Can set it to measure temperature of infants, adults, and even room temperature. There's a switch in the battery area for F/C. Measuring is very easy, you can hold it about an inch away from the forehead, or you can remove the tip to measure body temperature from the ear. Both are consistent once you figure out the correct distance you need to hold it from the body. Love it!

I'm pleased with this. It gives a fast reading, easy to use, fits in a pocket, and it's consistent. I was a little concerned when I read through the booklet that came with it since it claims to only be for kids and I was planning on using it for adults as well. So I checked it along side an under-the-tongue thermometer. For a child, the forehead measurement was at most, half a degree cooler (in F) than oral temp. For an adult it was about a full degree cooler. All the ear readings were the same as oral. This was consistent. This means that I can use the forehead temp for a quick check but if I notice an adult reading around 99F then I can switch to the ear check to see if it is an elevated temp. One last point, make sure that you switch it to the correct setting when taking a child vs adult temperature. That does affect the accuracy.

The CandyCare Infrared Thermometer is useful and desirable when a more precise measurement (i.e. rectal or oral) isn't practical, needed, or attainable. It provides a very fast, easy, and more widely acceptable way to determine whether a fever is present and if so, an indication of the level of severity. It must be recognized, though, that because of the many variables involved in measuring forehead or ear temperatures using infrared technology, the readings tend to be more indicative than precise and an individual reading may not be reliable. That being said, this thermometer is simple and intuitive to use and comes with a handy storage pouch and clear instructions. There is a convenient switch in the battery compartment to switch between °C and °F; and besides providing the useful option of measuring either forehead or ear temperatures, it can also measure room or object temperatures quite accurately. By combining many desirable features with a very reasonable cost, the CandyCare thermometer is a good choice when buying an infrared thermometer.

I was interested in an infrared thermometer after needing to measure my baby’s temperature. I am able to get a reading at a distance and it has a mute mode in case she’s sleeping. No need to sterilize since it never touches the sick person. It is much more accurate than my smartgen thermometer from Costco, and I can get a reading on things around my house like the air register. The main downfalls inlclude: 1. It doesn’t come with batteries. I couldn’t take a star away for that but when you’re spending $90 on a thermometer the least the company could do is provide you two AAA batteries. 2. You do need the instructions to get started. There are a lot of functions so I can’t be mad about that. Once you read a couple of pages you’ll be off to the races and it is simple to use from there. With all of that being said I would recommend this product.

I keep an expensive thermometer in my kit, and picked this one up for the bathroom cabinet. Much to my surprise, despite its silly name the inexpensive CandyCare is as accurate as the other. It offers quicker readings as well, and is and easier to use. This thermometer has three modes: ear, forehead and room temp. The first mode turns on whenever the ear probe is uncovered. The others are controlled by a button. BTW, the room temperature mode may appear to be a novelty, but I've used it to make HVAC duct adjustments, and check thermostat limits.

I've been living a life without a thermometer since leaving my parents home some forty years ago. I finally picked up this necessary tool for my medicine cabinet. After the Covid outbreak, I pledged never to drag my butt to work if I have an elevated temperature. CandyCare makes a nice one and I deserve it. At first I thought it was reading low with a consistent reading of 97.8 F. I figured out to get an accurate reading you must measure your ear cannel, 98.5 degrees. The doctor says I will live. This thermometer keeps it simple. You can change the calibration to C or F with a switch in the battery compartment. Push the big button to turn it on and stick it in your ear. Then push the button a second time. Green is good and red is bad. It will display your current temperature in big print and your last temperature underneath in smaller print. It also has a 40 measurement memory so you can track your progress. Thumbs up.

Easy to use, simple interface, but it's wildly inaccurate in the child/baby setting. The temperature has been off by over 2 degrees each time I try and use that setting. I've compared it with an oral/armpit thermometer and it's never correct. The adult and in-ear settings work perfectly fine but if you're shopping for a thermometer for your little ones I would look elsewhere.

Some people said they have problem using this thermometer because they didn't use It correctly. To wake up the unit from sleep mode, you need to press the thermometer icon button "once" and then aim the sensor to where you want to measure again press the thermometer icon button ONLY "once". It will beep when measure is done. DO NOT press and hold the button like many others out there. If you press and hold either from sleep mode or to measure, you will not get an accurate reading if a reading at all. Futher more, if the unit is not in sleep mode, only aim and press, not press aim press as from sleep mode. I first use It like others by press and hold the button and wasn't able to get a reading until I figured out how to use it. This thermometer is very well made. The read out is large with color background to indicate if you have fever. The top cover can be removed to use to measure ear temperature. Although the price went up a little, it is still cheaper than others not as good looking or able to read ear temperature.
