Product Reviews of Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer MODEL# TAT-2000C
Product Review: A Joke!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this thinking it would be less-invasive to take temperature with. It is however the accuracy is nothing short of a joke. In fact, one would have better luck going to an amusement park and having people guess their temperature, from 98 to 102, to win a stuffed animal then this piece of junk.
Appaarently, the "inventor" of this garbage went to Harvard so I'm sure he compensated one of his friends there to give him a testimonial to put on the box. Even if one looks at the box it looks like something one would buy on an informerical or something that says "As seen on TV."
I took my temperature three different times with it within a one minute period and each time the temperature was different--mind you the temperature was taken in exactly the same area on my head each time. Frankly, this thing is about as stable as the leaning tower of Pisa. Either get an oral thermometer or a Braun, but don't waste your money on this piece of junk!
Product Review: A Mommy Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is so squirmy that it's impossible for me to get a good read on her temp. I've gone so far as taking her to the Pediatrician just so I can have an "expert" do it. We've tried most gadgets on the market and this is by far the best. It is not only easy, but accurate. All you do is scan the temple area between eye and ear and you have a temp reading. My sister in law is a Pedatric Optamologist surgeon and my friend is an RN. They recommended this item to us as a MUST. You will have it forever, so invest in it now -- before you have to overnight it when your baby has a fever!Product Review: A lot better than the ear thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you learn how to use it, it works great. There is no tricks to it like the ear thermometer. I thew my ear thermometer in the trash. When you have a sick kid you don't want to be trying to pull their ear and hopping it is telling you their correct temperature. I believe this thermometer is just as good as the glass ones our Mom's used, but a lot faster!Product Review: A must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
With the tips given by previous reviews, I had no problems taking consistent temperatures from the start. This product is truely worth the price. It's easy and fast enough to take 3 or 4 temperatures in a row to make sure they're consistent.Product Review: A total waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have not been able to measure the temperature with this device. I tried it on myself, my spouse, and my baby. Each time the temperature reading was different and completely off from a normal temperature when all three of us were healthy. I can't imagine using it when the baby is actually sick.
