    Fantastic!! 2 Dec 2011
    This is a fantastic product. As a 1st time mum I do get tend to feel I am being a little over cautious and this Thermometer helps put my mind at rest. It is very quick and very easy to use. I would definately recommend it.

    Good but not perfect 30 April 2012
    By Tim
    Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
    I think ear thermometers are fantastic. Much safer than glass thermometers. Much easier with small childre than oral/rectal digital thermometers. Much more accurate than forehead strip thermometers. They have proved extremely helpful during the first 18 months of life of my twin girls in knowing when not to worry (temperature normal), when to administor some Calpol, and when to call the doctor / head to A&E.

    I have previously used a very similar ear thermometer from Braun Braun Thermoscan IRT 3020 Compact Ear Thermometer and find Tommee Tippee's offering better in several respects. Most usefully, it has a backlit LCD display, which is great when you don't want to disturb little ones by turning on the main room light at night. Its sculpted shape is also easier to hold, and the two-button interface is much more straightforward to operate than the Braun's single button.

    On the downside, the Tommee Tippee has more fragile disposable hygiene covers, which are applied using a separate applicator ring. I suspect I will lose this ring very quickly! Fortunately, it's possible to apply the covers without the aid of the ring, so long as you are careful. The instructions say to replace the hygiene cover for every reading; it also says that three readings should be taken every time the thermometer is used! This could rapidly get rather expensive, especially as only 8 covers are supplied. Fortunately again, it seems perfectly possible to keep reusing the same cover over a period of days, without its getting damaged. Of course, a new cover should be used when switching between users if any of them might have an ear infection. Lastly, the Tommee Tippee uses a lithium coin cell, which is less convenient and more costly to replace than the Braun's AAA cell.

    The supplied instructions are rather poor: they suggest the memory stores only one reading when it in fact stores nine; they don't show the steps of removing the applicator ring or the hygeine cover, etc. Most importantly, they don't teach straightening the ear canal by pulling gently backwards and upwards on the ear (pinna) in order to ensure that the thermometer has line of sight of the ear drum. I have found this step to be absolutely critical to get consistent successive readings (within 0.2 degrees or so). This might explain why some reviewers have found the readings to be so inconsistent (another possibility is the presence of heavy ear wax).

    I would highly recommend ear thermometers and this model has many attractive features.

    Last time my little one had a temperature I used a thermometer that went in the mouth and it was hard to get a good reading when he was crying. This ear thermometer is great, in just one second you can tell if your little one has a fever.
