I bought this product to replace my Thermoscan. It was getting old and the button was sticking. I saw this product in Walgreens and thought I would give it a try. I didnt use it right away and now I am kicking myself for not keeping the receipt. My daughter was not feeling well so I used it on her. I got several different readings and then I tried it on myself as well and also got several different reading. It was aggrevating to find that it was NOT as accurate as they claim it be. I am going to be e-mailing VICKS to complain hoping to get some or all of my money back. I would not recommend this product and don't waste your money. You are better off buying something else!!!

All 5 of our children had the flu this week, and I think I used this thermometer well over a hundred times. No exaggeration! It is fast, accurate, and does not add to the distress of sick, feverish, and uncomfortable children (or adults for that matter). We've actually had it for several months, and though it got a big workout in the last week, the battery life still seems to be going strong. The batteries are easily replaceable with two AAA batteries.
If you have kids past the baby stage, I'll warn you that they will be tempted to play with this thermometer. It's pretty neat. But it seems pretty sturdy, so I don't think that is a worry. It does come with a snap-on cover for the sensor, and I keep that on when I am not using it. I've accidentally knocked it off a nightstand while reaching for it in the dark and it hasn't suffered any damage falling on the carpeted floor.
After scanning the person's temple/forehead, the reading comes up and the background color when the reading first pops up will be colored according to whether it considers the temperature normal/low, medium or high, using the familiar green, amber, red color scheme.
I vastly prefer taking my own temperature this way, but would think this would make an excellent baby gift. Wish they'd had them when my oldest was tiny!

This thermometer works great! I tested it on my head three different times and the took an auxillary temp to compare- same temp every time! Both of my kids (2 and 4) were sick and I was able to take their temp while they slept!!! Accurate and it doesn't wake them up. The backlight screen is crucial. Very easy to use. Worth every penny for a thermometer that is accurate and unobtrusive.
