I had a digital thermometer and I could never hear the beep when it had finished reading, so I decided to go for the ear thermometer as I had been in hospital and I thought how quick they were taking my temperature. I decided to go for the Braun one as thereviews on it were brilliant and I have not been disappointed. It does everything it says itt does and is so simple and easy to use. I bought a spare
pack of lens filters to go with them, only to find that there was a pack included with the thermometer, which was a bonus. I would recommend this product heartily. I am really satisfied with mine.
