Customer Reviews of HoMedics TE-100 Large Readout One Second Ear Thermometer with Infratemp Technology and Memory, White
Customer Review: Don't waste your time on this
Summary: 1 Stars
I normally don't write reviews, but feel a need to as this effects the health of your and my baby. I bought this inJanuary and have used it multiple times over the last few months. Followed the instructions to a T, even worked with a nurse to make sure we were not using this incorrectly.
It is consistent.. for sure.. consistently inaccurate to the tune of more than a degree, sometimes even two. Yes it is fast, but whats the use of a fast read when it cannot be relied upon?
I spoke to their customer service and even they would not stand behind their product. They say they cannot guarantee the accuracy and offered to issue me a coupon for some other product from their website. I wish I had read a clear review when I bought this, hopefully this will help some of you make up your minds.
Customer Review: DIFFICULT TO HOLD
Summary: 4 Stars
I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT TO USE FOR WORK. I USED IT ON A FEW PATIENTS AND FOUND IT SLIPPERY AND AWKWARD FOR PATIENT USE. I LIKED THE "NO COVER" FEATURE FOR SANITIZING AND LARGE NUMBERS WITH THE LIGHT TO SEE IT AT NIGHT. IT TAKES GETTING USED TO FOR READINGS. IT HAS A ONE BUTTON FEATURE THAT TURNS ON THE LIGHT FOR NIGHTTIME USE AND FOR TEMP READING. THE "BEEP" IS LOW.
YOU CAN SEE IT AT WALMART. I DIDNT COMPARE PRICE.
I ONLY USED IT ONCE BECAUSE I FOUND OUR FLOOR THERMOMETERS TO BE INACCURATE AND ITS ONLY A BACK UP. ITS OK. TEMP APPEARS ACCURATE. ITS SLIM SO YOU CAN STORE IT ANYWHERE.
Customer Review: When you're sick, you want 'fast'
Summary: 5 Stars
I suppose all thermometers work well. I mean, if they don't tell you the temperature, they won't last long.
I rarely get sick. But when I do, I get cranky. Sitting for minutes, trying to breathe through a stuffed-up nose, while an oral thermometer reads my temperature doesn't help.
This product is fast, and accurate - and it doesn't cost a fortune. If I use it once a year, it's worth it for the comfort. For a larger family, it's even more valuable. Good buy.
Customer Review: low readings
Summary: 2 Stars
I haven't gotten this thermometer to hit 98.6 yet. I don't think I've seen it get to 98.0. I have established baseline temperatures for my child and myself so I will know if we are running a fever. That doesn't help me much to determine our exact temperature. I'm not sure if the thermometer is defective or if this is just the way they work. I am dissapointed with this purchase, but I'm not going to return it. Too much of a hassle.Customer Review: Inaccurate
Summary: 1 Stars
We both tried different positioning in our ears to get an accurate readout on this thing, probably tried it 50 times each. Never got similar readings and never higher than 96-something, which isn't possible. Coulnd't return this thing because the time limit is 30 days from date of purchase. Waste on money and time.
