Braun Thermoscan 5 Ear Thermometer (IRT 4020) Review



I am officially down with flu. It might be due to change of weather or the puyatan galore I am experiencing these days. #babyMartinez still has not adjusted to the time difference, her body still thinks that she is in Manila.

Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear Thermometer (IRT 4020)

Why measure in the ear?

My verdict? I love this gadget. It's so easy to use. It is totally worth the money because it comes with a three year warranty! Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear Thermometer takes less than 5 seconds to get an accurate reading of your body's temperature. Please note that temperature on your left and right ear varies so be sure to always use the same ear when rechecking your temperature. 

You can easily view the result with its large digital screen. There's also an option to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Thanks to my friend who recommended Braun to me. What do you use to get your child's temperature?
