I need a thermometer

[twocents6708]

Paging the nursing/medical folks. We need a decent thermometer at our house for the kids. I registered for a temporal one that I might pick up with a gift card but I have heard mixed reviews about temporal thermometers. Anyone have input on this? I know it's a pretty minor purchase to worry over but I still don't want to waste my money.

We have a Braun temporal one and hate it. It's so inaccurate! Following to see if someone has a good one. I use a rectal one till they're toddlers anyway and find them to be very reliable.

I love my Exergen temporal!!!! BUT you have to watch a couple of videos on how to use it correctly!

For the price and Prime, this might be a winner. I can use gift card on something else!

We had a Braun temporal and it was shit. I returned it. We just have a cheapie rectal one for now, but my pedi said if you want a temporal one, Exergen is the only brand to trust and buy!

I have a braun ear one that I hate and so picked up a temporal one from a lightning prime deal that I also hate.

H tested them both with a traditional thermometer and both were accurate so I guess I can only cry so much...
