Best I’ve tried so far!
My toddler is getting close to the age of 3 and it’s time to phase out taking rectal temps. I tried a few other thermometers that consistently gave inaccurate results. The Braun ThermoScan 5 is easy to use, results are fast, and it is very accurate! I feel confident using this and trust the results. There’s nothing worse than thinking your kid has a fever and getting a “normal” temp when they’re obviously warm. This has eliminated so much stress around fevers. This model (version 5) was on a great sale when I got it, I had been going back and forth between this one and the latest version and the price on this sold me! I also realized I probably didn’t haaaaave to have the one that connected to my phone if it was gonna save me 50% of the money lol

Quick and Easy to Use Thermometer
Easy to use and reliable thermometer. Purchased this to replace the old forehead scanner and was really impressed with how quickly it reads the temperature and appreciate how long it displays the temperature. Works wonderful for the whole family.

Reliable, quick and painless
I was tired of getting variable readings on the forehead thermometer. This ear thermometer has been great for getting quick, reliable readings on my toddlers. When compared to rectal temperature it has been similar.

it’s easy to make a mental correction
There are three metrics for a body thermometer: accuracy, consistency and safety. The gold standard for the first two properties was the old mercury thermometer, which relied on the simplest of physical principles. Sadly, it failed on the last count. Individuals were rarely injured, but the overall environmental effect wasn’t acceptable. So the gold standard is gone.Digital thermometers exist in several forms. They’re generally safe (as long as disposed of properly), so the remaining metrics are accuracy and consistency. Of those, consistency may be the more important. If a thermometer is a consistent half-degree off, it’s easy to make a mental correction. After all, you’re more interested in the trend–not necessarily an completely accurate number.I had a little shoot-out between the Braun and a cheap grocery store digital thermometer. At four different periods in the day, I took my temperature several times in rapid succession (My wife wandered into the room at one point when I had one thermometer in my mouth and the other in my ear. I was happy the camera wasn’t nearby). The results were quite surprising. The oral thermometer gave me reliable measurements that didn’t vary by more than a tenth of a degree over the 5-minute measurement period. The Braun was all over the place, at one point swinging over a 1.2 degree (Fahrenheit) range. The measurement from left to right ear was never the same, but never in a predictable way. At its best, the variance was .3 (three-tenths) of a degree. That’s three times worse than the oral thermometer at its worst.I’ve always liked the tasteful appearance and solid quality of Braun products. But whether it’s a product problem or a basic problem with the reliability of the ear measurement, it’s hard to recommend it.

The Thermometer That Never Makes You Guess
The Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear Thermometer has quickly become one of those household essentials I didn’t know I needed until I finally had it. The accuracy and ease of use are outstanding, and it’s honestly the first thermometer I’ve trusted without double checking with a second one.The first time I used it was during a stressful late night moment when a family member wasn’t feeling well. I grabbed the ThermoScan, placed it gently in the ear, waited for the beep, and got a clear reading in seconds. No wrestling with under-the-tongue placement, no fussy forehead scanning. Just quick, calm, and reliable. It made a stressful moment feel far more manageable.Another time I used it on a squirmy toddler who had zero interest in holding still. I braced for a battle, but the ExacTemp stability indicator really helps. It let me know exactly when the thermometer was positioned correctly, and I got a solid reading before the toddler even realized what was happening. A small but very appreciated parenting victory.The digital display is bright and easy to read, even when you’re half-asleep at 2 AM. The soft tip feels gentle, and the whole process takes only a couple of seconds. It’s also nice knowing Braun is the No.1 thermometer brand recommended by pediatricians, and honestly, it shows.If you want a thermometer that’s accurate, fast, baby friendly, and incredibly easy to use, this is absolutely a five star device. Reliable peace of mind in one little tool.
