Braun ThermoScan 3

I’m extremely pleased with the Braun ThermoScan 3 Ear Thermometer and would happily give it five stars. It has been a reliable and convenient tool for quickly checking temperatures, especially when dealing with children who may not sit still for long. The 1-second measurement is a fantastic feature, allowing you to get an accurate reading quickly and easily. The thermometer is simple to use, with a clear display and straightforward operation. The audio fever indicator is particularly useful, as it provides an easy way to identify when a temperature may be higher than normal without needing to focus on the screen. The readings feel consistent and reliable, giving me confidence when monitoring health at home. The compact design makes it easy to store in a medicine cabinet or take with you when travelling. It feels well made, comfortable to hold, and the ear measurement method is much less intrusive than traditional thermometers. Overall, the Braun ThermoScan 3 is a high-quality, practical, and user-friendly thermometer that performs exactly as expected. It offers speed, accuracy, and convenience in one small device. I would definitely recommend it to parents, families, or anyone looking for a dependable thermometer for everyday use. Five stars!

I decided to get a digital thermometer after having difficulty reading my old mercury manual one. I chose Braun because I know the brand well. This is simple and easy to use. At first I was getting error messages until I realised that you have to position the thermometer in the ear before you switch it on otherwise the thermometer tries to take a reading when you are moving it, and it needs to be stable. Once I realised my mistake, taking temperatures is a doddle. I went for this model because I just need a device to tell me the temperature without the fancy additions that some more expensive models have. This one beeps once when the temperature is normal, twice if high and three times if very high. That is absolutely fine for me. It comes with a slide of disposable covers, and I have also purchased another stock of these on Amazon so that I always have plenty to hand. I've also purchased a Braun case to store it in. A very good product, especially at the current price of £21.

The Braun ThermoScan 3 is very easy to use and works well for its purpose. The measurement is quick—just about 1 second—which is great when dealing with restless little ones. It’s clearly designed to be family-friendly, especially suitable for babies and infants. The reading accuracy is very good, though not perfect—especially for newborns it performs well enough to give a reliable indication of fever. While it’s not 100% precise, it’s close enough to be trusted for everyday use. The brightness of the digital display isn’t the best, which can make it a bit harder to read in certain lighting conditions. Overall, the value for money is excellent, making this a solid choice if you want a fast, user-friendly, and generally accurate ear thermometer for home use.

I had been deterred from buying this product due to the mixed reviews. However when my 10 month old caught a bad cold (with a very congested nose) I finally bought it. And I love it! It has been so effective at removing snot (apologies!) from my babies nose. I do notice that sometimes nothing is removed but then an hour or so later lots can be removed and this is simply due to the snot not yet being ready to come out (just like adults noses, sometimes we blow our nose and nothing comes out yet a short time later everything is ready to come out). I would highly recommend this product. Sometimes i use saline drops a minute or two before using it however I can usually tell from hearing my baby sniffing etc that saline drops wont be required and I can simply just suction. Excellent product. Easy to use. Easy to clean.

Brilliant Info/instruction manual clear and simple and the thermometer so easy to use straight away with one press of a button I’ve used infra red and digital under tongue type but this is so much better Recently my GP used an ear thermometer and showed my normal at home reading was vastly inaccurate and my temperature was actually very high. This hastened the change to an ear thermometer

Got it during prime sale. Saved €30.00. Much more accurate than the forehead thermometer things, comes with extra ear bits for hygiene. Build quality is great. Easy to use. Looks great. Display is great. Zero complaining. Just works. Works well.

Works as expected although no indication about it's accuracy. Easy enough to use, just listen for the long beep

I wish I’d never bought this thermometer. I thought buying a known brand would serve me well. It’s no less than dangerous. It’s awful for the following reasons : * Incredibly inaccurate, it always reads less than it should (I used other thermometers to confirm). * It repeatedly shows different temperatures, even if you don’t take the thermometer out of the ear. I’ve also tried taking it out and putting it back in and it still reads various temperatures. I also tried leaving it in the ear several seconds before I pressed the button to take a reading and it’s still inaccurate. * It’s constantly showing and bleeping with an error code. I have to keep pressing the button to get it to clear. * It’s incredibly difficult to work out which bleeps mean what, wether it’s the error code, switching on or off or if it’s it’s supposedly taken the temperature. If you’re hard of hearing, DO NOT buy this device. Buy a version that will illuminate red for a fever. * My child is 10 yrs old and I find it difficult to get it sufficiently into their ear, which they find uncomfortable and get agitated because I’m having to repeatedly take their temperature in the hope to get an ‘average’ because it’s so unreliable. * The screen is difficult to read compared to my cheap oral thermometer I’ve had for years. The green screen on this Braun is rather grey/green and the numbers blend in too much. * This version of thermometers screen stays green even with a fever. When you’re stressed with a poorly child, having the screen go red is incredibly helpful. * You have to change the ear piece cover every time you use the thermometer. I did know this before I purchased it, but if you’ve got a frequently poorly person like I have, that cost will add up, especially when you’re having to repeatedly test at the same time because the readings are always different with this thermometer. I expected for over £20 I was committing to quality and a reliable thermometer. I was very wrong this time. For now I will stick to under £10 oral thermometers that work as they should and that’s far easier and safer to use. Sorry.

This is a must-have for any home. It provides readings incredibly fast, which is essential when you need a quick check. The design is comfortable, the interface is simple to understand, and it feels very high-quality. I trust the accuracy of Braun, and this model definitely lives up to the reputation. Highly recommended!

Not too accurate (+/- 1 degree tolerance) but can still monitor fever.

Works great. Fast and easy.

Does not work at all! the temperature shows around 36 degrees for ever! Don't buy it!

Aus der Not heraus mussten wir ein neuen Ohrthermometer kaufen, da unser altes (über zehn Jahre alt) Ohrthermometer von Braun den Geist aufgegeben hat. Kurz gesagt, das Thermometer misst zuverlässig und schnell die Temperatur. Der Vorgang wird von einem Piepton begleitet, weswegen man sehr schnell erkennt, ob die Messung geklappt hat oder nicht. Die Bedienung ist simpel und das Display gut lesbar. Die Spielerei mit lauterem Ton bei höherer Temperatur ist nett, aber am Ende liest man ja eh immer vom Display ab insofern braucht man das eigentlich nicht. Sehr gut finde ich, dass auch unsere Aufsätze vom alten Braunthermometer passen und wir hier nichts wegschmeißen mussten. Der Preis geht meines Erachtens nach auch voll in Ordnung. Klare Kaufempfehlung.
