Everything I would have expected from a head/ear temperature scanner.
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.
