Pros:
The thermometer turns on extremely quick and is ready to go much quicker than our older Braun.
Its EXTREMELY easy to use and guides you when needed. So if you are too far away from the forehead to do the no touch it displays a FWD sign until you get close enough.
The color screen along with easy to ready numbers are perfect. Its much like a stop light in the colors. Green means normal/good, yellow is slightly high and red means high.
It doesn't take long to read the temp whether its the no touch or when putting it to forehead so that means for those with young kids its extremely quick and isn't a hassle.
Cons
Really the biggest con for me is I noticed that the no touch part is more inaccurate compared to the touch to the forehead. I did a test with my old Braun in the ear thermometer that I've used for years and the forehead touch and my old one were very close in degrees (maybe slightly off by .02-.04 degrees). the no touch seemed to sometimes fluctuate in degrees by 1 or 2 degrees compared to the other ways. So that can mean the difference between a high temp or a "need to watch" temp. So its not often I use the no touch part but its nice to have with a quick check.
I would recommend this thermometer no doubt about it to any mom! It really does make the sick days a little less of a hassle on the temperature taking!
Braun® No touch + forehead thermometer
I really like how easy it is to use. There's a clear on/off switch and you can turn the volume on or off (which is nice when you're taking your own temp and can hear when you hit the button and get a reading). However, I feel like it reads a bit high. It said my son had a fever of over 105° consistently and even our pediatrician didn't agree with that. And it also read my husband low- 95° or lower.
I have another forehead thermometer and would use both to see how different the readings were. The Braun one detected there was a fever in my son, while the other read him as normal.
Overall I would definitely recommend this thermometer to others!
