Braun Thermoscan Reviews

I purchased one of these themometers after my little girl was ill and we tried with a forehead themometer strip to take her temp, we had one screaming, struggling baby, two stressed parents and no reading. I paid £29.99 at the time from our local chemist, it requires two batteries and comes with easy to read and understand ...  Read the complete review

This is a great product especially for very young babies.Recently It has sometimes read incorrectly, and sometimes each ear reads a different temperature - Is that normal ? Although i still use this product i now do double check with a basic forehead thermometer.

When my son was 2 years old he started suffered from febrile convulsions lot when he had fevers, up till then i hadnt bothered to much and had used a thermometer under the arm or a forehead thermometer but getting him to sit still long enough was a nightmare and i never got accurate readings. Knowing how serious things were i decided i needed to ...  Read the complete review

when my daughter was born i was a bit of a panicky first time mum, and she seemed to get temperatures a lot. I had various thermometers, was always buying different ones, i've had the forehead strips, the cheaper calpol ear thermometer, the underarm one, you name it i've had it, and i was never happy with the results they gave as they always ...  Read the complete review

One of the biggest challenges facing parents of babies and toddlers is working out when the little one is just making a fuss and when there’s actually something wrong. The inability of small children to communicate effectively makes it very difficult at times to tell what the problem is. Often your intuition will tell you but sometimes it lets ...  Read the complete review

Great product *before* the warranty expires! Our started misreading (e.g. 39.5C instead of 38.3C), which gave us big worries w/o real reason. Contacted manufacturer (01159-437918) for re-calibration and learned that the service doesn't exist. *IF* you are still under warranty, they might have a look, but for the high price one normally pay, one ...  Read the complete review

My son is a severe epileptic, who is very sensitive to temperature, he will often start fitting once his temperature hits 38c. Therefore it's very important I can keep a check on his temperature when he's ill. However, he also dislikes being held and would kick, bite and generally try to escape while we were waiting for an underarm thermometer to ...  Read the complete review

When our first child was born I took the advice of all those baby mags. of must haves, and asked for a themometer as one of his gifts. Luckily we have some well off relatives who kindly bought us a thermoscan - they are a bit pricey. If you get nothing else expensive you MUST try and get one of these if you have children. - or ask to be ...  Read the complete review

I have a 2½ year old daughter who on a regular basis has Febrile Convulsions, this means fits with a temperature. I decided to purchase the thermoscan 16 months ago, and it goes everywhere with me. Im going through caps galore, but its well worth it to find out if your child has a temperature in a second, so that you can try a get the ...  Read the complete review

As some of you will know, if you have read my Febrile Convulsion Op, I have three children who have all suffered with Febrile Convulsions. The middle one would have a convulsion without the normal tell-tale signs of an outward temperature, so we decided that we would have to buy an early warning system. The Braun Thermoscan fitted the bill. ...  Read the complete review

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, ...  Read the complete review

We bought the Braun Thermoscan about 2years ago now and I really think its the best thing I've ever bought! Our model isnt as snazzy as the pic on here, we have the first model but its still great and does the same job. In short you just place it into your childs ear ever so slightly and press the green button on the top for 1 ...  Read the complete review

I purchased one of these thermometers when my last baby was born he developed a rather severe reaction to his first vaccination, and as he was premature my usual thermometer was too bulky to read his temperature accurately, it also caused him great distress to be moved and this method restricts interference to a minimum. These are wonderful it has ...  Read the complete review

When my daughter was a baby we thought that we had better buy a thermometer. We bought an ordinary digital one that takes a couple of minutes and a strip one that you can just put on the head. When my daughter was first ill, we found that she wouldn't sit still for long enough to use the digital one and the strip one was very ...  Read the complete review

This is one piece of 'baby kit' I wouldn't be without. I was a nurse before having the children and we used them at work, after having used the old mercury thermometers for years, these proved so quick and accurate I went straight out and got one when Harry was born. No more trying to keep a poorly wriggly child still for two ...  Read the complete review

Before our daughter was ill, I thought our trusty little digital thermometer would last us, but having tried to keep a very poorly 6 month old still for long enough for me to take her temperature by putting it under her armpit, I gave up on it. The brilliant thing about the Braun Thermoscan is that it's so quick and easy. Literally ...  Read the complete review
