Baby Products Reviews of Summer Infant Digital Ear Thermometer Set
Customer Review: VERY DISAPPOINTED
Summary: 1 Stars
This was one of the first things I registered for. I was so excited to get one of these thinking it would help during those rough nights and give me a quick and accurate reading. But I was COMPLETELY disappointed. My son has had 4 ear infections within the last 10 weeks and not once did it give me a reading over 94 degrees. I have even changed the battery thinking that was the cause of this. The first time I used it I got a great reading. But that was the one and only time. Last night when he was sick again and were were struggling to get him to calm down I was once again disappointed with a reading of 93 degrees. I am throwing it away and have started to research another brand on line to get reviews before I buy another one. Customer Review: Never the same temp and never right!

We bought this thermometer before our daughter was born. Well, since we've had it, it's never correct. We can also measure her temp 3 times in 30 seconds and get three different temps that vary by 2-3 degrees! We've checked it on ourselves and used a standard basal body temperature thermometer as a comparision and it's ALWAYS at least 5 degrees low! Don't buy this one. It's horrible!Customer Review: Great when used properly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this thermometor for our first child, and have used it several times (tested first on myself). I find it is almost always within a degree of the oral temperature (and ear thermometors will ALWAYS read about a degree lower than oral). I am a registered nurse, and have used them a lot in my career; this helped me with technique. It's important to gently tug the ear lobe down and turn the probe for a snug fit into the canal opening. If you are unsure of your technique, be sure to bring it to your pediatrician so they can teach you. I find this product to have very accurate readings when used properly. I am completely satisified with it's performance!Customer Review: Totally Unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
I got the thermometer as a shower gift. It is completely unreliable. Sometimes the temperature would say 60 degrees then 2 seconds later it would say 106 degrees. Luckily Babies R Us took it back with no problem.Customer Review: WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD......

Our doctor recommended a more accurate reading that you get from a standard thermometer.
