Overview
Reading a temperature on the LCD screen is the whole job of this battery powered thermometer, which lists a fast reading system and infrared technology. It is reusable and made of plastic.
Included batteries, a storage pouch and a display that shows tenths of a degree make it ready to use out of the box. The limitation is that the measurement method, the accuracy and an odd upper range figure are unexplained.
Who it's for
Families who want one thermometer for infants, children and adults at home. Shoppers who need a documented measuring method should confirm it on the package before relying on this one.
Pros and cons
- Measurement site not stated
- Accuracy not listed
- Indoor use only
Performance notes
A resolution in tenths of a degree means small changes show on the display. The fast reading system shortens the wait, though the listing does not say by how much. The plastic housing is cleaned by hand only, which matters between users.
