... I threw this in the garbage yesterday -- so it was easy to title this review! We got this thermometer because there were no Braun available on Amazon when we were shopping, and boy, I wish we'd waited (it's what others had recommended to us -- we're back now to buy another one).
We followed the instructions of the Omron precisely. Put in ear canal. Listen for one beep. Press button. Listen for more beeps. Check temperature. And the temp consistently read crazy low (like, impossibly low for a feverish child). We tried again over the weekend when our 10-month-old was burning up and acting lethargic. Guess what? A reading of 94.6 degrees. Same thing happened with her older sis.
And can I please speak to you parents out there directly and tell you that there are few things more frustrating and painful to try to get a temp reading off of a cranky sick baby or child and then have it be so horribly off?
Do not waste your time. Garbage, garbage, garbage. ...
