Braun Sensian 7 Forehead non-contact thermometer - Age Precision Technology - 3-in-1 Colour-Coded Digital Display - Baby and Child Friendly - BNT400B

Readings are accurate, and it's much easier to use than an in-ear thermometer. Using it on adults and children over 8.As I don't have children up to 36 months, I've turned off the Age Range feature (set it to +36 months), but it took me a while to figure out that this could be done, and until then it was a bit annoying having to set the age range each time. But I guess that's my fault really.It's very easy to operate, and the display is clear and easy to read, with the colour coding very helpful.It's a bit pricy, but worth it for the ease of use over an in-ear or under-tongue/armpit thermometer.

Works really well. I would recommend.

Got this for my mum to replace one she broke. Compared to my old one; next to it in the pictures, that’s always been reliable. This one is not quite the best accuracy for reading temperatures. But will do for quickness. She wanted a clear large display, which this certainly has. Not so keen on having to keep pressing the age button to set it each time it’s switched back on. Other than that it’s easy to use. I like that if your too far away or too close it warns you. Overall for this well known brand and price. I thought it would be more accurate to be honest.

When I first received it, it seemed pretty good (and as my baby didn’t like the in-ear or armpit thermometers this seemed like an easier option). It seemed to give a few different readings but as they were all showing as green (no fever) I didn’t think much of it. However when this really became a problem was when my baby was poorly, and it would throw out all sorts of numbers within a short frame of time which were wildly inaccurate, even though I’d held the thermometer in the same spot! When babies have a fever, whether it is 37.4 or 39.9 makes a massive difference and I simply couldn’t trust that the reading it was giving was true. I reverted back to the other thermometers and both gave a reading of 37, which further backed up that the infrared thermometer might as well be making it up. I’ve only had it a few months and wish I could return it.Other issues include the bright flashing lights which don’t help when using it at night, and taking a while to actually take the temperature (it doesn’t remember the previous settings so you have to wait to select age group every time). Thankfully you can turn off the sound at least.Might be fine for adults (?) but don’t bother with this if you want a quick and accurate thermometer for babies.

I bought this for my baby so I didn't need to put anything in her ear - it is extremely easy to use but I obviously don't know if it is accurate as I don't have another thermometer to compare it to. But it is quick and easy to use.

Love this thermometer, also love that we can use it to check the temperature if baby’s bath water

I love the features of this thermometer. It is super quick, you get a reading in 1 second, and super easy to use, and like other Braun models, it alerts you of fever for different age ranges so you don’t have to remember what they were for each age.Also love that you can measure liquids with it, including bath water, formula, food etc!However what is a bit questionable is the accuracy. I compared the readings to other thermometers, and the Braun is always a bit lower than the others (even when compared to another infrared no touch thermometer). As you can see, there is a 0.4 difference which seems like quite a bit in my opinion (36.97, so essentially 37 in the digital and 36.6 in the Braun).When tried a second time on another adult, the digital showed 37.0, a different infrared one showed 36.9, and the Braun showed 36.7.So I concluded from those two measurements that the Braun seems to show slightly lower readings. I don’t mind a difference of 0.1, like in the other one, that sounds very reasonable and accurate, but consistently showing 0.3 and 0.4 less than other thermometers is a bit too inaccurate for me. Especially when it comes to children, therefore I returned, since my main purpose was to use this on my baby (and in babies 0.4 is a huge difference). I have chosen to keep the other one from another brand that consistently showed only a 0.1 difference.

I was ready to package this back up and return it as it simply showed "ERR" on the screen when switched on. After a quick google other people had this issue and all said within 5 minutes then it worked fine with no ongoing issue.... So a couple pf minutes later and it works perfectly with no issues.But weird but would recommend it as its an excellent bit of kit.
