Works great But you need to practice a bit
I got this as a gift and LOVE it!!
2 of my kids have small ear canals and have frequent ear infections so we can not use the ear thermometer (you can't use it on kids under 1 anyway). And waiting for a rectal reading on a squrimy baby was a challenge
I was shocked to read bad reviews on another site. My husband had some problems at first (like these people's complaints) but I figured out that he was pulling it away from our kids head and was still holding down the button for a second which was then adding to the calculations the room temperature. Depending on how long he continued to hold it down after pulling it away it really made the temperatures flucuate. My readings would only vary by .1-.2 degrees.
So Practice a couple times when you first get it. (Across the forehead down the temple and stop infront of the ear). BEFORE YOU PULL IT UP LET GO OF THE BUTTON!!!. It will beep as soon as you let the button go and has your reading. It takes some practice to be really quick (our peditricion is super quick but they practice dozens of times a day).
If the forhead is sweaty you can also just hold it for a second or so behind the ear but again wait for the beep before pulling away.
Our kids don't mindMore detail ...
