Not lasting – Stopped indicating accurate temperature after 2 years, has been indicating 34-35C for two years now, even when my son has 38.5C of temperature. UNSAFE. I called them to get it replaced and they said it was outside the warranty period. They offered to look at it if I had the receipt, but 3.5 years later, I don't. Do not buy! Inaccurate, unsafe, unreliable, expensive, bad customer service.

Terrible. Accuracy = zero – What a waste of money. This thermometer is so inaccurate you have no idea what your child's temperature is. I'm writing this review while I search for an alternative. Do not buy. I think it is strange that Target is stocking such a terrible product - i wish i still had the receipt as I would return it even if I did buy it over a year ago!! Inaccurate. Expensive.

Slightly Rubbish – As others have said this is an inaccurate product, we also somehow changed it to F and after a long search for the manual online found it here. I would suggest a thermometer above the $100 Australian Dollar mark as we have purchased two thermometers under the 100 dollar mark and have found them to be sub-standard. low value, inaccurate

Terrible – Would not buy this thermometre again. Very expensive for something so rubbish. I will be buying another thermometre because I just don't trust it. Easy to use, no need to buy shields. Not very accurate!! Temps vary wildly.

Terrible – Not worth spending the $70 odd on it when it does not give even a close temperature result. Getting a fast result is great, but more important is an accurate result - which is severely lacking in this product. If you have one test it against a more traditional underarm product and you too will be shocked with how useless it is. Or take it into… Read more

a hospital and compare it with theirs. I susgest you take it back because it is not worth the risk. Fast read result Inaccurate by 1.5 degrees. Margin of error not acceptable!!! Only discovered the inaccuracy when I noticed it was always a little on the low side even when I suspected my baby had a mild temperature. One evening when his temperature skyrocketed, we needed to call an ambulance, we then checked the Safety First temperature against their equipment and they confirmed it was grossly inaccurate and dangerous for a baby. Promptly returned it to Target for a refund.

Terrible – Total junk. Reads an average 3 degrees cooler than the one our Dr uses. It was telling us our babies temp was 36.5 and a visit to the Dr 1 hr later confirmed his temp at 39. Easy to use. Widely inaccurate.

OK – Looked good and like it would be easy to use. It is a bit tricky to use I find and I'm also not too sure if it's accurate. I check babies temp before I got to docs and it seems to be out by 0.5 degrees celsius. I don't know but that just makes me feel a bit uneasy as to the accuracy (although maybe babies temp changes by the time I go to docs).… Read more

It's quite pricey too, but in saying this I havent't tried any others either. Looked easy to use Price, a bit hard to use and not sure if accurate
