Overview
Braun's IRT6500US belongs to the brand's IRT-prefixed ear thermometer line, a battery powered, white housed unit that weighs well under half a pound.
Ear (infrared) thermometers read temperature from the ear canal rather than needing a probe held under the tongue, which is why the format is often chosen for children or anyone who has trouble holding a thermometer still. The listing here is filed under a supplements category but the title and specs describe a thermometer, not a supplement.
- Digital ear (infrared) thermometer
- Battery powered
- White housing
- Weighs 0.39 lb
Who it's for
Households wanting a quick, non-invasive way to take a temperature, particularly for children. Not for anyone who specifically wants an oral thermometer or a no-contact forehead scanner.
