It’s not reliable at all. Looks like the “set” temperature is 37 degrees.Reads 39 degrees when another thermometer reads 37.If you measure on someone without a fever you never get less than 37.2/37.1

I used in-ear thermometers for a while and found them to be fairly unreliable. In many cases I would get very different readings for one ear to the other, so I decided to try this forehead thermometer. It definitely seems more accurate and more consistent. After having used it for some time I would recommend it over an in-ear thermometer.

During the worst of C-19 pandemic I periodically checked my own temperature with an inexpensive under-the-tongue digital thermometer (but found it fairly inconvenient as it rarely gave a stable reading - waiting for the "beep" that often never came). An old mercury in glass thermometer was my fallback. Wanting to check my temperature a bit an easier, I thought this would be ideal.Well, it gives a quick reading (once it stops giving an ERR message - the room needs to be well above 15°C) but one that could easily lead to unnecessary concerns.It was showing me as having a fever at 38.2°C (consistent for several repeated readings). I'm not feeling "feverish" so used my mercury in glass thermometer to check: that gave a reading of 36.6°C. Waited 10 minutes and tried again: a nearer "normal" 37.2°C - but still a higher reading than what I think it should be.The convenience of a "no-touch" reading may be outweighed by the limited accuracy and repeatability.

Always good to know your temperature when you are well, to gauge if you have a raised temperature .🌡
