Customer Reviews of Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer - IRT4520
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I prefer this ear thermometer to my other one. The need for a lens filter may turn off some buyers, but I like it for the fact that they keep the lens clean and ready to use. The case the thermometer snaps into holds the filters for easy to reach convenience.
The thermometer gets accurate readings quickly and easily. It only takes a second. My other ear thermometer took longer and I could never aim it just right. The other one also doesn't have a lens filter, which made it more inconvenient because I always had to make sure it was clean and then hunt down the alcohol to clean it with.
This thermometer is tops in my book. I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Errors Out; Inaccurate when worked
Summary: 1 Stars
I liked this item at first. Then the readings began to vary wildly, so much so that I would measure my child temperature three times and average them because each reading could vary by up to three degrees. Then it stopped working altogether. Today, it only reads "POS" instead of displaying a temperature.
Since this thing is now bound for the landfill, I think Braun could improve the next model by making it biodegradable.
BTW, Brian Carey, who also reviews this, has his review posted about 300 times on multiple sites on the internet. Could he someone that is paid for reviews or is he really that passionate about Braun digital thermometers?!
Customer Review: Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
I teach Kindergarten so I manage to get almost every cold that goes through my classroom (I haven't totally built up my teacher immunities yet). Anyway, I figured that this would be a great thermometer to have because when you have a stuffy nose, a regular oral thermometer is torture. Well, I can never get a consistent reading, even when I'm healthy. I've tried the ear tug in 1,000 different directions with no success. Also, the thermometer reads high no matter when I take it. I got very concerned when thought I had a temperature of over 102 according to the thermoscan when in reality, it was only about 100. I would not recommend this thermometer at all!Customer Review: Finally a dependable Ear Thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
Having spent well over $200.00 buying ear thermometers, none of which were accurate or dependable I asked the nurse at my MD's office which one she was using, she said Braun. I searched the Braun ear thermometers and decided on this model and I have not had to search anymore. It is easy to use, results appear in seconds that are reliable, and it comes with a holder from which you just pick it up, use, and put it back on the holder till the next time it's needed. I am about to buy a 2nd one so there will be one on each floor. I highly recommend this product, the others I tried did not come close to measuring up to this one.Customer Review: Very Quick results ~ once you get the hang of it!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this thermometer based on recommendations from two friends. I had difficulty taking the temps of my six month old by myself as you have to pull their ear slighly up and back in order to take an accurate temp. I had to try it several times with the help of my husband to get the hang of it. I like how a beeping sound is made once the temp has been recorded. It also has a memory feature have not used yet. One more thing ~ I accidently dropped it in the kitchen sink (in a bowl of soapy water). I picked it up quickly and set it on the counter. After two days, it had dried out and is working normally again.
