Looking for the Perfect Ear Thermometer

I am looking to purchase an ear thermometer at a decent price. Does anyone have the Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer Model# IRT4520? Or know anyone that has it? It looks pretty good and is around $35-$45, which seems like a good price. Or do you recommend another one?

What can I do next?

I've found that the ear thermometers aren't very accurate. They work fast but that's about it. I use a digital thermometer in the armpit and get better results than the ear thermometer. Good luck!

Yes, I have that modeal and it is great! As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I am VERY picky about ear thermometers. I tested this one over and over, comparing it with oral and rectal temps on different ages. It works great!

I can't respond to your exact model, but I've had a Braun for about 6 years and it's worked great for me. I can only think that the brand has gotten even better.

Dear C. R,
I have a Braun, it is absolutely the best!! I bought 2 others
prior to the Braun, and just was not happy with them at all.
The Braun is the way to go.

Hi I got this thermometer as a baby shower gift and I love it. I have used it more than I thought I would. Teething can run your baby a fever sometimes. It is nice to have his temp right away so easily and than you know how to treat them. Mine has been accurate with the temperature also. I know this because when my son got very sick a few months ago for a temperature that dropped so, we went to the hospital . I thought our thermometer was broken and it was not. It was dead on with the hospitals thermometer. So yes I would recommend this thermometer. Good Luck. First time mom, who loves being a mommy too!~
