Very good product, reliable about 90% of what it should be for newborns as well as adults. Today, as I am writing this, our whole family of 4 is sick and I tested it on everyone and compared it to both a mercury thermometer and a digital thermometer. The deviation is minimal, with all 3 thermometers showing a difference of up to 0.2 units lower. However, it is a good tool to easily check and react without disturbing the baby or waking up others while they are sleeping if you suspect something might be wrong. You just need to know how to handle it, otherwise it might show inaccurate readings like many others have experienced. First, you need to touch the thermometer on the right or left side of the temple where the eyebrow ends, not from a distance, as it might confuse room temperature. That's why it should be done close and always in a closed space. Also, according to the instructions, you need to repeat 2-3 consecutive measurements to accurately read the temperature, which takes about 5 seconds in total. The correct reading is usually the third one. Now, if someone plays around and tests it multiple times like I did, pressing it many times after the third measurement, it starts showing different temperatures. So, it's a thermometer and not a toy. If you use it as intended, you won't have any problems. It also has a button to select the mode for room temperature, adult, or baby, as it has different settings stored for these categories, including sensitivity. Additionally, the higher the fever, the smaller the deviation. For example, when you don't have a fever, it might show up to 36.9 even if it's below 37.2, but when you have a fever of 37.6 and above, which is considered a fever, you will see that the screen turns red from green in the photo I uploaded, and it beeps, indicating that it doesn't lose even 0.1 and is 100% accurate compared to a classic mercury thermometer. So, when you really need a thermometer, it won't show you wrong readings. In contrast, the one we have at work, which we use every morning due to COVID-19, almost always shows 35.4, 35.5, 35.6. Now, as for the ear thermometer, it doesn't perform as well. It has a deviation of 0.5-0.6, whether you have a fever or not. I hope I helped those who are interested in getting it, as well as those who already have it and are complaining.
