The Corona epidemic had the great effect of making almost every home have a thermometer. It is important to pay attention to our body temperature during this period, but a thermometer is an important device on hand in any case.
In addition to standard thermometers (which measure the temperature in the mouth or rectum), there are also non-contact thermometers designed for the forehead and ears, which are especially useful for children who have difficulty using a standard thermometer. While non-contact thermometers measure heat faster, standard thermometers are usually more accurate.
Best Thermometer (Regular): Vicks ComfortFlex
The Vicks ComfortFlex is a fast and elegant thermometer. The average measurement time is 8 seconds, making it one of the fastest on this list. It has a good size screen that allows you to easily read and understand what is written on it, and it has a backlight that helps in measuring the temperature in a dark room or at night.
Vicks is also the only thermometer to have a useful "heat stimulation". There are many thermometers alerts with a different number or volume when the temperature is high - which is useless unless you change the normal beep in advance and you can compare it.
In contrast, this thermometer indicates results using the colors - green for normal temperature, yellow for 37.2 degrees, and red for over 38.3. (It is important to remember that in children over 6 months of age, fever is determined starting at 37.2 degrees in the oral measurement, and starting at 38 degrees in the rectal measurement - temperatures that fall in the yellow band.)
Like many thermometers these days, Vicks maintains the last measured temperature. The thermometer comes with instructions for use, a box, and five disposable caps.
These caps are used for one test and then thrown into the trash until they run out quickly. You can buy more covers, but the thermometer is waterproof, you can just use a sponge with alcohol or soap and water.
Points for improvement but in a simple way
Vicks has an annoying whistle that repeats itself and cannot be silenced. Although it is present on most thermometers, the sound of this model is particularly annoying.
Many models of this thermometer measure only in degrees Fahrenheit, so it's important to confirm this before purchasing one.
There are claims that the thermometer comes with an empty battery or that it runs out after a few uses, but this is not a common phenomenon.
Anyway, this is an easily replaceable 3v CR1225 battery (although it's definitely annoying to have a device that doesn't work once it's removed from the packaging).
Another excellent thermometer (normal): Sanpu Digital
The Sanpu Digital Well another option is usually sold at a price similar to Vicks. This device is usually 15 seconds slower than the previous model, but it comes with an option to choose between degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius. It also has a large, easy-to-read screen with backlighting.
Best forehead and ear remote thermometer: iProven DMT-
There are excellent ear thermometers and great forehead thermometers, but the fact that iProven can do both makes it the most successful choice in the offline thermometer category.
Even if you don't plan to use both options, it is a good idea to have them. IProven easily switches between the two functions, and it has a large, clear screen, with backlit and color coding.
This model measures in the ear almost instantly, and measures on the forehead in about 3 seconds. While this is much faster than a standard thermometer, there is no doubt that measuring with a standard thermometer is more accurate (the difference is not large, but still).
In fact, it is best to use a non-contact thermometer only for children who have difficulty using a standard thermometer, and in any other case it is better to use the more traditional and accurate method.
When the cap is placed on the top of the thermometer, it can be used to measure on the forehead. When the cap is removed we will find a small head to be measured in the ears. proven is easy to use, fast and clear.
Here, too, the colors are used - green for normal temperature, light green for temperatures above 37.5 degrees, pink for above 38, and red for 38.5 and above.
It is also possible to measure the room temperature with the simulated orientation of the ceiling. Additionally, this model holds the last 20 measurements.
Points for improvement but in a simple way
This appears to be a problem with all home use thermometers - it is impossible to silence them. It appears that the person who designed it did not attempt to take the child's temperature while he slept.
Instead of a holster/cover, the iProven comes in a kind of bag. It is less protected than the hard plastic cover and cannot be cleaned easily.
On the other hand, there are many who actually prefer this bag as it is more convenient to move it from one place to another. About taste and smell ...
Another excellent remote (for ear) thermometer: the Kinsa Ear
If you know you only want to use the forehead measurement, you may want to purchase the Kinsa Ear. It's a smart thermometer that syncs via Bluetooth with any iOS or Android device, records temperatures within the app for free, and syncs with Apple HealthKit. It displays the temperature quickly and clearly on the device’s screen and is comfortable to hold.
Braun No Touch - a thermometer from Braun, it works without touch or on the forehead
