Advantages: easy to use, to read and accurate

Disadvantages: none

I bought one of these after giving up on the strip against the forehead type.

This is brilliant for small kids and babies. It's so easy and quick to use compared to other methods. You just put a clean cover on it pop it in the ear and you've got a reading in a couple of seconds. It stores up to 10 readings in it as well, which I can imagine would be handy, although I've never used it. You can read it in the dark which is very useful with a sick child. My daughter was quite poorly and in considerable pain and it was still easy to get her temperature with this - in fact we even took it into hospital with us - it was a German hospital and they tend to take the temperature with a rectal thermometer so this was infinitely better as far as our daughter was concerned!! It's so easy to read and gives the temperature in a digital display - I'd say this was an essential if you have kids.
