## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update: Shame on you!!  This is the most accurate forehead thermometer I have ever owned!!
*by P***O on December 28, 2019*

UPDATE: I went online to purchase another one, and the price has increased from $21.99 to $53.99!! During this health crisis, it is a shame to take advantage of people who are already struggling financially due to unemployment!!! I no longer recommend this company. There are many other companies with thermometers that are cheaper with great reviews who aren't price gouging!This thermometer is accurate and consistent. I've used many thermometers in the past, but the only thermometer that I could find that was consistent every time is the digital oral themometers. If I don't move the Fora IR42 themometer in between readings, I will get the same reading, over and over again. Also, if I move it and take my temperature in a diferent location, the readout is within .5 degrees. This is understandable since body temperature differs slightly throughout the body. My home nurse introduced this themometer to me. She purchased it for her patients, and she was pleased with the results. I need to take my temperature daily, so accuracy is of utmost importance! I paid three times as much for a Thermoscan no touch themometer in the past. It is not as accurate as this one, and it broke within the first year of use.
