Lasted me 6 years and I used it almost every day and it only broke because my husky chewed it, so yeah it’s a good product

EXCELLENT

Good thermometer, especially for the low price. Great to have in med kits for car, rv, ECT too.

Todo muy bien

It works: many other brands do not work

I had to have the first unit replaced since I thought it was defective but the second unit worked the same:- Hard to get the blasted thing to turn on at first. I have to press the "on" button in a specific location to get it to turn on. Both units did the same thing.- It's also fussy to take a consistent temp. reading. To check it out I first took my temperature with this unit and compared it to an old Becton Dickinson mercury thermometer (ancient but ACCURATE), then to an another electronic thermometer I've had for years (also a B&D). Those both read my temp to exactly the same value, well within 0.05F of each other. The iProven unit sometimes was 0.1F below, 0.4F low, sometimes spot on but never higher than the other two. I did this test 5 times, waiting 3 min. between temp tests of each thermometer, then did the same tests with my son 5 times; sometimes spot on, sometimes 0.4F low. I had to laugh at the "QC Passed" sticker on it, "quality" here doesn't mean accurate apparently.- Unlike some commenters I did not find the beeping sound to be too quiet ,it was easy to hear for anyone in my household.- Considering this unit is on the higher-end of the price range here on Amazon it's a crummy deal.I found if you wait until AFTER the beeping is finished to remove the thermometer from your mouth it's more consistent. Unless you're using a $300 unit like you'll see in a clinical setting none of these "rapid" read home oral thermometers will take a reading properly unless you let the thing sit in your mouth for at least 1 minute or more. My old BD electronic unit is slow but apparently there was a reason for that, consistency and accuracy of measurement. In the end I didn't return it a second time since I need the unit to send with one of my kids off to college and did not have enough time for yet another replacement (which likely works the same way).

We used the optical non-touch thermometers for a while and loved the convenience. Then my wife got quite ill and her temperature readings became very important. We discovered that the optical thermometer's readings were not very accurate at all. This was a step back for us to an under the tongue device and yes it does take about 10 seconds to deliver a reading. But the readings are very accurate and the device is very easy to use. Be sure to buy the disposable plastic covers for the device and the mini-alcohol wipes to clean it after using.

This has been great for the last year and all of a sudden it is completely inaccurate. Very low. Tried resetting, changing the batteries and all the trouble shooting but it still isn’t working right.It was a go to for a year or so and very quick which my kids loved!
