Fast Read Digital Thermometer with Color Coded Backlight, Adtemp 418N

My wife has bought numerous thermometers for our son over his six years. Including at least two quite expensive ones (one was in-ear and one was a forehead thermometer). It’s always seemed like more guess work than need be on our part to determine if he REALLY has a fever or not and whether it’s mild or not. Well, since he started school this year he’s caught and brought home numerous and varied illnesses. We finally got fed up with the in-ear thermometer. It’s grown more even more fickle over time. And considering his latest illness was an ear infection, we decided it was time for something else. Enter the expensive forehead thermometer. While the in-ear thermometer was wishy-washy with its numbers, the forehead thermometer is basically a random number generator. Despite following instructions to the letter, that thing throws out wildly different numbers on back to back readings. We’ve tried on him and both of us. Even holding it perfectly still to your own forehead and taking two readings back to back without moving - it will vary as much as 4-5 degrees. Not tenths, but whole number degrees. Sometimes less, but never consistent with itself or the in-ear. Fed up, I head to Amazon and start looking for oral thermometers (you can use it under the armpit as well). I’ve bought other medical equipment from ADC and was always satisfied with the quality. This thermometer has not let me down. FINALLY we get numbers that are not only consistent but also line up to what we are expecting. (While we can’t predict his actual temperature - we do know that when he’s sweating from his head and complains of the chills elsewhere and is hot to the touch that he very likely has a fever - despite the other thermometers measuring temperature sometimes down to 96F. Likewise, we know that his temperature is not 107F as read by the forehead thermometer when he feels mildly warmer than normal but is displaying no other signs - the reading taken immediately after was 101.2F and then 99.4F all in the same location and within about 15 seconds total). It’s quite a relief to finally have a thermometer that is consistent, and gives numbers that are within the range of reasonableness. All at a much lower price. It might not be quite as fast as the other two (but at 8 seconds it’s hardly slow) and it might not seem as convenient (or may even be seen as “outdated”). However, it actually does the function for which it was purchased - we trust that it gives us a reasonably accurate reading of our child’s temperature. Mine too for that matter as he’s passed several of these ailments on to me.

Very nice digital thermometer for older adults - easy to read and reads the temperature quickly. This thermometer was a great price, arrived very well packaged and quickly.

I never used a digital meat thermometer before and was leery of this one but it’s great. It’s accurate. It’s fast and I use it almost every day. And it’s magnetic so it sticks to my stove and that’s where I store it.

Very fast, and good quality. However I use it as a veterinary technician, and it’s very loud when done! Startles my patients sometimes, but it’s better than taking forever.

This product is wildly inaccurate. I have questioned it validity from day 1 when both of my thermometers were different but today I decided to purchase another one to see which one of mine was accurate and it turns out it was at least .5 of a degree off and occasionally more. One picture is my temperature on all 4 and the other is after dipping in water. Has made me worried on more than one occasion. It is quick and easy to use but if it is not accurate it is no use. If I could return it still I would.

Works great but the beeping is so loud on them. Great for people that have hearing problems.

Es para mi hermana para si bebe le encantó

I have owned several digital thermometers in this price range, and this ADC is by far the best. It's fast enough (takes around 10 seconds), very easy to read, and unlike all the others I've owned, I can actually hear the beep from the ADC. I have thrown out all the other digital thermometers.

Das präziseste Thermometer, das wir in sechs Jahren Fieber messen bei Kindern hatten. Das Krankenhaus hat uns das damals mitgegeben. Haben es nach gekauft, als es kaputt ging.

Le mien indiquait environ 0,4 ° de trop, vérifié sur 3 autres thermomètres dont 1 à mercure. Par contre retour et remboursement sans problème par Amazon (top service).

Estamos muy contentos con este termómetro digital. La medición es rápida y muy precisa, algo fundamental cuando se trata de bebés o niños pequeños que no siempre se quedan quietos. En pocos segundos tienes el resultado, lo que evita esperas innecesarias y hace todo mucho más fácil, sobre todo por la noche o cuando el peque no se encuentra bien. Es sencillo de usar, cómodo y transmite confianza desde el primer momento. Para nosotros se ha convertido en un imprescindible del botiquín en casa. Sin duda, una compra muy recomendable para padres que buscan fiabilidad y rapidez en un solo dispositivo. 👍

Facile à utiliser avec son grand écran. La lumière de couleur aide à comprendre le niveau de la température. Je recommande pour le prix

Reliable!
