Oricom NFS100 Infrared Forehead

Legitimately will not give you an accurate temperate, ever. Not on my baby, not on me, not in any position or however you could possibly try. Better off just guessing the temp than using this thing.

Useless produc5 – 10mo after purchase the battery died and after putting in the new one it is no longer accurate if It was EVER accurate. Waste of money, my daughters fever was 38.1 and this unit read 27 degrees Show details

Do not waste your money – Ours is similar to the other reviews always read around 36degrees. 13 months after purchase now no longer works and only displays message “LO”. This has always been stored in its case in the baby change table drawers so has not been exposed to any damage or excessive temperatures. Waste of $80, strongly do not recommend! Show details

Dont purchase – Both my kids are fighting fevers and this useless machine only shows 36 nothing else , why have this on the market if its not an accurate reader , lawsuit waiting to happen. Show details

If I could give it a zero I would – I’m never usually the one to write reviews, but this product is CRAP!!! My daughter had been sick and the thermometer always read 36 degrees and the doctors read 37.5. Inaccurate readings which could potentially be life threatening. Take this product off the shelves, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Show details

Do not buy! – We bought this one when our daughter was born thinking it was the easiest way to take temperature, however we have been so disappointed. The thermometer has never been accurate. Actually both GP and hospital doctors have recommended against using it! All medical personnel actually recommend using traditional thermometer as it’s more accurate. Do not buy! Better things you can buy for $80! Show details

Nightmare thermometer – Nightmare. My little one was very warm and checked the temp on this and it waa 36.1 few mins later she had to be taken to the ED for febrile convulsions. when we checked she had a fever of 39.8 and this still read 36.3

Do not buy – My daughter had a temp of 39.2 and it said she was 36. Luckily I have others at home that are more reliable and won’t be using this one anymore. Show details

Dangerous - do not buy this thermometer – I had similar experiences to others reviewers. I bought this product in Feb 2021. I consistently question its reading, it always tells me my toddler is around 36. something, when it feels she's hotter. I go back to our old thermometer under the arm and her temp is always higher. The last straw was yesterday. This product measured her temp as… Read more

being 36.4...after some time I tested her with the under the arm 39.6...she became worse and close to unresponsive, went to hospital and she was recorded as 40.3! Had I trusted the initial 36.4, things would have gone worse. Do not buy this, if you are gifted it, give it back.

Accurate & Easy to use – Very please with the Oricom Infrared Thermometer , works well and very accurate, in todays society it is a valuable piece of kit for the workplace and I highly recommend it Show details ·  1

Dangerous if you have no experience with baby fevers – My 9mo was running a mild fever but her temp kept coming up as 36.6. She is my 3rd and I felt it was more around the 38C mark so I treated accordingly. We went out the next day and she was burning up, lethargic etc and tested her at the COVID check into the venue and she was 39.2. Got her home so I could get her treated and it said 36.6!!!! Rage… Read more

inducing. If I was an inexperienced parent I may have taken the brand new thermometer, sold at a baby store, as gospel.

SAFETY CONCERN DO NO USE – Never been accurate once, our baby is 38.4 degrees and it still says 36.6. Please done buy for the safety of your child. We have brought a cheaper and more reliable version.  Show details

Absolutely horrid – I bought this before my baby was born and never needed it. But now felt like my baby had a temp and went to use it the battery was flat. Put a new battery in it and now it's saying all temp are either lo or hi. Utter rubbish. So dangerous. Saying my baby temp was lo (below 20) when temp was actually 39.9!  Show details

Do not buy – We brought this before bubs was born have barely had to use it until now, my 18month old is currently burning up but if I take her temp on her forehead it comes back with a reading of 36.4 which it normally does to myself I'm like that's not right an actual accurate reading and her temp is 38.6 very dangerous how can you still be selling this.

Pathetic and Horrible Product & Services – I had purchased an Oricom Infrared Forehead Thermometer (NFS100) last year in November. It stopped working 3 months ago and initially, I thought it simply needs a battery replacement, albeit because of COVID -19 situation we didn't get a chance to think much about it and replace its battery. Finally, I replaced its battery a few days ago with a… Read more

brand new battery (CR2032) as per the manual. However, it's still not working. I tried following all the instructions given in its user guide but all in vain. It doesn't respond if I press the power button, but if I keep holding the button for a few seconds then it blinks for 2-3 seconds then again goes off. It seems to be a horrible and pathetic product which stopped working after a few months!! Seeing its cost, it's completely unacceptable!!

I've been sending emails to their support continuously for more than a week but no one has acknowledged my emails even once. How pathetic and horrible their products and services are??? I strongly believe they are just waiting for the warranty period to get expired which will happen in a month's time. This is the way they deceive customers by providing this horrid customer service after the purchase.

Caution! – Last night this told me my daughter was 36.1• took her to a&e because she was burning up all over and she had a 38.8• temp! This has brand new batteries in. This has always been inaccurate but ive benchmarked against myself but last night it let me know big time. Mother knows best!

DO NOT BUY!!!! So Dangerous – I cannot believe this thing is still on the market or allowed to be sold. It is so inaccurate it is beyond dangerous. I am horrified and disgusted they can charge so much for and sell an item like this. Also barely used it and it’s showing temp of 20 degrees Celsius so clearly after being so terrible it’s now also broken after a few uses!!!! Do not buy!!! Show details

Please read reviews before purchasing this thermometer! – Purchased this thermometer before bubs was born, being a well known brand I thought it would be okay. One night ago my baby woke burning hot all over his body took his temp using this device it read 36.6 Not even 15 minutes later my 11 month old baby had a Febrile seizure resulting in an ambulance being called When paramedics arrived to assess… Read more

my baby his temperature was 39.3 Please be aware the inaccuracy of this product could be potentially dangerous !

Proven inaccurate! – Very disappointing product. We have used this thermometer as per instructions and have got different and clearly inaccurate results every time. My son currently has a 38 temperature and this product reads 36. Do not spend the money on this clearly faulty device!

Dangerously inaccurate! – Bought this for my son from baby bunting and it always says his temp is 36.6, checked with another thermometer because I knew it was wrong and my sons temp was 39.2!! This can be very dangerous with how wrong it is and needs to be taken off the shelf! Show details

Completely useless – Bought this online prior to the arrival of my little one. Bub was sick for the first time only recently. Reading kept saying her temp was 36.3 when it was obviously it was higher. A trip to the GP resulted in an accurate temp reading of 38.9. Such a dangerous device even when used in accordance with directions. Show details

Completely innacurate and untrustworthy – Have used exactly as directed. Temperature constantly being read at 36.6 on multiple people when babies temp was over 38.3. Seems to only ever read at 36.6 no matter what. Very dangerous, you can’t trust what it says to keep your family safe. Very unreliable. Show details

Awful – Have used in accordance with the directions provided and it still says my babies temp is 36.4 ( took her to the doc and it was over 38!) Just awful the last thing we need with a sick baby is misinformation Show details

Worst thermometer – I bought one of this from well known baby store and I never ever had correct results. I can clearly feel my kids are warm but thermometer says otherwise. My suggestion is to avoid buying this product for sake of your kids.  Show details

DO NOT BUY !! DANGEROUS PRODUCT – The worst product I ever bought that is important to track your health. I used this product to track my baby temperature and said it was 36 degree while she was obviously suffering from fever. The doctor used a real thermometer and she was 38.9!!! This company should be closed they put lives of our kids and baby in DANGER, totally unacceptable that control quality are not performed on such importante devices. Show details

Not accurate at all! Do not buy! – This thermometer is expensive, but does not show the result even close to the correct figure! The $5 thermometer works better than this one. If you rely on the result from this thermometer, The bub life will be in danger! Show details

Worst ever do not buy this thermometer!!!! – I've used this thermometer in accordance with the provided manual and tested it in comparison to other thermometers on my baby when I suspected the numbers it was giving me were incorrect! It spits out random temperatures which are most of the time a normal temperature or a fever and it can be one after each other on the same part of the… Read more

forehead!! Do not waste your money my local baby shop where it was purchased won't return it without a receipt because it was a gift now I am stuck with this TERRIBLE random number generator that was $50 waste of money. Shocking product they should not be able to sell!!!

“Random number generator”, Emergency Doctor 2017 – Our newborn son had his first fever at 3 weeks, or at least that is what this thermometer said. We took him to emergency and they could not find any trace of a fever. They said they call this thermometer “a random number generator” and that “they shouldn’t be allowed sell them”. Due to bub’s age, we had to stay in emergency overnight, even though… Read more

he didn’t have a fever. So stressful. When discharging us, the nurse gave us a basic digital thermometer and said to use that instead. Don’t waste your money on this. I also asked our G.P., and he agreed they are rubbish.

Inaccurate and resulted in missing my baby's fever – I received this as a gift, followed the instructions to use this device, and everytime I took my baby's temperature it came up as 36.7. After not feeling right about the result, I took my baby to the doctor, and he had a fever of 37.5 - not huge, but when you depend on a device for accuracy, this is simply unacceptable.

Oricom NFS100 Infrared Forehead Thermometer – Please help.why is giving different readings and changed battery flashing. Worried mum baby been immunized now worried sick and its after midnight . What do I do . Its giving me all different readings . I got worst anxiety. My baby girl is so distressed . I had to give her panadol because was in accurate and she was very hot Disgusting

You can loose your child while trusting to this thermometer! – I used Oricom NFS100 for the first time today. It was showing 36.2 on my boy's forehead all evening. I got a bit concerned, why my boy got so heavy breath? I found our old electronic under arm thermometer which is more than 6y old. It ran up in no time to 38.8. I can't describe level of my anger at the moment!

Inaccurate – I have the same issue with it reading around the 36C mark even when the room temp is above the 20C mark! Now its getting to the hotter weather around the 39 degree mark i keep getting different readings if i check one after the other. Battery sign also shows as flat constantly Looking to buy a different thermometer and count my losses on this one

Be very careful about the recorded temperature, it might be much lower than it should be – My family got this for the baby, so I purchased one too from Baby Bunting $50 weeks ago. It’s easy to be used but I am in doubt about its accuracy; the temperature has been always on the lower side ( 36C mark ). I am a Health Profession and really not very certain about the accuracy. Buyer please be very caution. PS: The device has a low battery signal even on the first day after purchase.

Dangerously inaccurate! – We have had this thermometer for less than 2 years, it seemed to be working more or less well/accurately till this morning when I took my baby to the GP to realize she had a fever of 39 degrees whereby this thermometer indicated a steady 36.2 ...a real difference which could have put my bubby in danger! I went to the pharmacy to have a third check… Read more

of her temperature and to check with the pharmacist if I was doing something wrong, but it is just this apparatus that is not working! Not to buy!

Not bad – The beeping can be abit loud in this thermometer if your baby is not in a deep sleep or is a light sleeper it might wake your baby up. But it holds last few readings and is definitely easy enough to use and clean. Over all happy with my purchase
