Customer Reviews of Braun IRT 4020 ThermoScan Ear Thermometer

Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this to replace a typical local drug store ear thermometer. This device is much more accurate than the more expensive one! Tested and tested and re-tested and every time without fail within acceptable difference to a traditional thermometer (+- .2 max difference). Only thing I don't enjoy is there is no light for the display, so at night it's harder to read.

Customer Review: Not what I'd expect from Braun.
Summary: 1 Stars

I am sorry, but I cannot share the enthusiasm for this product. The readings are innacurate - several readings taken at short intervalls showed deviations of up to 2.5 degrees. To prove this, I repeated the test on myself with the same results. This is very critical since most doctors recommend a visit to the emergency room if the child's temperature exceeds 105. With this thermometer there is - at least for me - no accurate way of telling.

In addition, the button that activates the reading process gets stuck a lot, thereby producing no result at all. I finally replaced it with a professional model, the same kind that doctors use. Expensive, but worth it.

I am usually a fan Of Braun products. Not this one!

Customer Review: A "must have" for your baby!
Summary: 5 Stars

We decided to buy this product despite being told that only rectal thermometer is accurate for infants. Nevertheless, knowing the usual high quality of Braun products, we gave it a try and are very happy about it!

It's one of the best investments we've ever made. We loved the following features:

- You do not disturb the baby and can measure the temperature even if the baby is asleep;
- The result is displayed in 2 seconds;
- Very ergonomic;
- With an easy used lens filter ejector, can be used for the whole family.


The thermometer has a convenient feature of switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. Also, if you need more than 1 temperature measurement stored in the memory, you can consider Braun IRT 4520 - it saves 8 readings.


Excellent gift, especially for baby shower!

Customer Review: Great thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars

The ThermoScan is very accurate and easy to use. Now, I can take my twin babies temperatures in about two seconds without bothering them at all. I've even taken their temperatures while they were asleep without waking them up. It's a great product.

Customer Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a good thermometer, my son (3 and a half years old) has a problem: when he has fever, I can't feel it when I touch him. This item is very quickly to take his temperature and I don't bore him any more with others thermometers. Thanks BRAUN for it!
