Timex Healthcare Illuminator 1-Second Ear Thermometer Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: extremely unreliable
Comment: I have to agree with the previous two reviewers. I recently purchased this thermometer and was shocked to find how unreliable it was. I wouldn't be surprised if the multiple measurements were a little off, but the range of different readings were off by as much as 3 degrees (and we did follow the instructions, including pulling on the earlobe in the appropriate direction to straighten the ear canal).

We called customer service and they said that they would send us a new one. After reading the other two reviews here, I suspect that it'll find itself in the trash. Don't buy this product.

Summary: Don't buy this product
Comment: I can't believe that anyone would sell a thermometer that is so unreliable. The temperature given varies more than 2 degrees. At best you can say if they probably do or don't have a fever. I can tell just as much by touching their forehead. Don't waste your money on junk.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not accurate and not one second
Comment: I bought this thermometer yesterday at Tuesday morning for 19.99, I've tried it about 20 times and received 20 different readings on the same person, when it gives a reading at all. The batteries that come with it are useless. I'm probably going to return it. When my grandson has a temperature, it's going to be too frustrating to not know if the thermometer is accurate, from 99.8 to 97.6 to 98.4 to 96.7 within less than a minute. That's too much of a variance to be reliable. I wouldn't recommend it.
