Mark Of Fitness Mf16 Mark Of Fitness Infrared Ear Thermometer

I ordered this thermometer about a week ago, when I returned from my doctor's office with a sinus infection and a fever. I thought it would be accurate, especially based on the reviews. When I received it, I took about 10 readings. The temperature went from 103 degrees to 95 degrees. No two were the same. Last night I tried it on my husband with the same effect. This was a disappointing waste of money, to say the least. If there was a rating less then one star, I'd give it that instead.

i do not enjoy the product. its easy to use but i can take a temperature in the same ear 10 times and get 10different readings. and i apparently have a fever daily, but not with a regular thermometer. user friendly, but for what?

Worth the price and functions as described. I use it as a private duty nurse with two children to take vitals every two hours. Not sure about the accuracy though and the probe covers are not easy to find.

This is my first Ear thermometer. I have been using the rectal thermometer on my kid, and now that she has grown I got this better one. I was looking around for different ones - Braun etc and this one is amazing, esp the Swivel tip, it makes it easy to take temperatures even when the kid is asleep. I would definitely suggest this for a first timer ( i paid less than $20 for this ) and i havent experienced any issues with this( I have had it with me for around 3 months now) and use it regularly.

I have another thermometer which normally takes 15 sec to read the temprature accurately. This one takes 1-2 seconds only. It requires 2 small size battery which are provided. 20 probe covers are also included with the set.Before using the thermometer directly, go through the user manual otherwise you will end up getting wrong temprature. They has given the details as pictures and words which very much explains about the infrared technique utilized in this.I was initially getting incorrect temprature but later on after some practice, was using it properly.A good thermometer for 20 bucks.Only drawback I found, is the battery cover which seems very fragile like other Mark of fitness products battery cover. Why don't they fix this problem :|
