Everything I would have expected from a head/ear temperature scanner.We received the thermometer from Amazon securely packaged. It comes in a nice, sturdy, colorful box. It's immediately clear that the device is not cheaply made. Though it is in a plastic case there is some heft to the device. It's not heavy but isn't so light-weight as to be flimsy either. It's about what one would expect from a device of this type.The device comes with a nice little bag that is perfect for storing the device and the instructions. I found that particularly useful as there are some tricks to using the device. First...while click and drag seems intuitive to me, the forehead scanner uses more of a click, drag, click again methodology for forehead scanning. There's a trick to ear scanning as well (pull the ear up and away from the head and then aim the thermometer for the eardrum). Given we are rarely sick and use a thermometer infrequently, I was afraid that we might forget the tricks between uses. With the bag one can easily store the instructions with the device.With any thermometer, accuracy is key. We tested this thermometer when we were well and not suffering any fevers. The thermometer returned readings in the normal range for each method of measure we used.We are very pleased with the thermometer. It's everything that we would expect from a thermometer of this type.

This iProven thermometer is a lifesaver! It's so fast and easy to use, giving me a reading in seconds. I love the color-coded display – it makes it super simple to see if there's a fever. Plus, the memory function is a great help for tracking temperatures over time. It's definitely worth the investment for peace of mind, especially with little ones around.

I like that this ear thermometer lights up with the reading, which makes it easy to use. It was also very reasonably priced. Sometimes I have to check two or three times to check the temperature accuracy, but overall it works well. Batteries have lasted for some time. It does check temperature rather quickly. And seems very well made.

I loved the packaging. I’m a cancer survivor and cleanliness is a big concern to me. To know that the box itself is sealed was surprising to see. The bag it came with made it much easier to store and unlike regular thermometers, I don’t have to fear of the pieces getting dirty. I have been wanting one of these kinds of thermometers for some time and this is so easy to use. You just swipe or just leave in the ear. It is a quick response which is a reason why I like it but one thing I have trouble with is the accuracy. I can take the same head temperature and come up with different results. They aren’t that far off but it’s hard for me to trust whether the head temp or ear temp is the way to go. The color coded screen will definitely help me in case I have a fever. With my recovery, I have to go to the hospital if my temp becomes to high so if it turns red, I at least have some piece of mind. It comes with a little booklet that helps you see how much of a difference the temp is from body heat. It does have an extended warranty so make sure to register it! Overall, I love it and I’m definitely switching to this from now on.

UPDATE: Not at all accurate. Our entire household is sick right now. I have felt slightly warm and took my temperature well over 100 times in the past 2 days. My head always shows cold, which is probably accurate considering I have a fan blowing on me and windows open. However, my ear temperature has shown inconsistent temperatures, even taking it multiple times within a minute. The truly bizarre thing is it’s showing that I have a rather severe fever every so often. I don’t feel hot, just slightly warm, yet sometimes it says I have a fever of 103.5, which is alarming. I checked myself with other thermometers which showed I do have a fever but only of 99 degrees, not that severe. This thing clearly does not work properly at all, at least by using it in ear. I’m glad I didn’t actually pay for the item.I have a temporal thermometer that we’ve had for a few years now. It can be fickle to use sometimes. I usually prefer the ear ones but I hated having to buy the caps. I always wondered why they didn’t just offer an ear thermometer that you can just clean rather than spending more money and having more waste just to check a temperature. You’re already disinfecting things if you have someone sick in your house, so no big deal to take some alcohol and swab this clean.It was freezing outside when this was delivered, so it actually gave me an error message when I was trying to use it. It took about 30 minutes for it to actually work. Awesome that it came with batteries so I didn’t have to worry about finding some that fit and weren’t dead. It does seem to be accurate though. Testing it against my current temporal thermometer as well as a laser thermometer it seems to be getting readings that are almost exactly the same, not even a full degree difference so it’s accurate. I like that it has red when you’re showing a fever, that’s handy. I sat on our forced air heater to get my skin warmer than normal and got a reading of 101 and it was read and beeped.What I don’t like the the beep cannot be turned off. That’s annoying. When you have a sick child that is trying to sleep and you’re bugging them checking on them it makes things worse. I’m really surprised they didn’t include that feature as almost every digital thermometer that I’ve seen out there has that option. I like my old temporal thermometer for that because I can silence it and check temperatures without the kids even knowing I’m doing it. So at the very least I’m going to keep my old one for that. This will be used when they’re awake. But it’s nice to have 2 because we seem to misplace ours a lot. It comes in a storage bag which is also nice. Our old one came with no cover or bag so it’s gotten pretty beat up over the years and I’m not sure how it keeps the sensor accurate when it’s exposed to being thrown around our medicine cabinet and around the house when we have someone sick.

The thermometer provides reading quickly and easily.
