Safety First (Accuracy Second)
This thing is quick (~1 second) but wildly inaccurate. The instructions note how you're supposed to place it *just* right in the ear canal, by holding/pulling your ear back just so and inserting this into the ear canal so there is a good seal.
Even if this is done I've gotten wildly different temperatures, even on my own ear multiple times using the same method of placement. I took my wife's temperature (when we got this, to test it out) and according to this she had a fever of 101.3, 102.3, and 102-something in 3 different readings. We went to a corner drug store and got a digital thermometer (placed in the mount, takes about 1 minute to work) and it read 97.6.
We got this to use for a newborn but with the wildly different readings and no confidence that any of them are nearly close to being accurate, what's the point?
I'll give it props for being 1. safe and 2. really quick! But it's about as useful as a random number generator. Wish it weren't, it would be a lot easier to use than something that takes 30-60 seconds to get a reading.

Ideal with infants
I love it! This pacifier thermometer is ideal for young infants, providing comfort to the child while letting you check baby's temperature. Quick and easy to understand, I suggest you to buy also probe covers to keep it clean. One of the best tools, if you have kids around!

Misleading Info on Ear Thermometer
The seller's description said this NEW ear thermometer required no disposable caps. When we received the package, it was not sealed, the battery was dead and it required disposable caps. It is fortunate that a sample set of disposable caps were included. I made this purchase based on the seller's description and was frustrated that the product did not meet her description. The product itself works wonderfully but I will not buy from this seller again.

This thing rocks.
Finally! How taking your temperature is supposed to be!!
Took me a few times to find the correct angle and depth, but wow. When you pull the trigger on this thing, it doesn't mess around. Fast and accurate. Found it interesting that the eardrum shares blood supply with the part of the brain that is supposed to regulate body temp, so it makes sense that the most accurate readings possible are in the ear.
I can't believe my good fortune at being able to stay hydrated with cool fluids and still check temperature just whenever. I can be sucking down iced tea and take my temperature between chugs.
This kind of thermometer is worth it's weight in gold when you don't feel good.
