Braun No Touch & Forehead Thermometer - Product Review

Hello!  First let's get this part out of the way right up front, shall we?  Disclosure: I received this product in the mail courtesy of @BraunTherms because I'm a @Klout influencer. I'm under no obligation to receive this sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for blogging about this product or company.

With that out of the way, I (unfortunately) had the opportunity to test this thing out on my 2-year-old on New Year's Eve of all days.  Now, he's the type of kiddo who absolutely detests the cold thermometer under the armpit, and, let's face it, who likes to disturb their sick sleeping child to take their temp, right?

So, at first glance, this product seems very easy to use, with its basic instructions printed directly on the device.  You turn it on, point it at or hold it directly on the child's forehead, press the button and voila, done. No fuss, no muss.

There's a handy sound on/off switch too, so you can hear the beep or keep things ninja stealthy-like while your kiddo slumbers.  I like also that it lights up green for a 'normal' temp, yellow for a slight fever and red for a higher fever.  We compared the readings given by this device with readings from a standard thermometer (on ourselves, of course, not the poor sick fellow who cannot stand such nonsense).  As far as that test went, the Braun No Touch & Forehead Thermometer is pretty accurate!  Oh, and it's quick too!  In just seconds you've got your verdict, rather than waiting.. and waiting.. and waiting.

It appears that it will be rather durable too, as the little guy took to playing with it here and there while we had it out for the duration of his downtime.  The cap that goes over the sensor part could have been a little better-fitting, but that's seriously the only (minor) complaint I can come up with about it.

I'm thankful I had the opportunity to review this product and that we now have a great alternative to the torture device that is a regular thermometer!  You can purchase this product on Amazon through this link.

Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions about the Braun No Touch & Forehead Thermometer and I'll be happy to answer what I can.  Here's to a happy, HEALTHY 2015! :)
