DTR-1221A

While looking for a thermometer I found the iProven at my local pharmacy. I picked it up because of its clean blue and white packaging that stood out on the rack. The package clearly advertised the rapid read, flexibility, and loud alarm features and these were just the things I was looking for in a thermometer. When I did purchase this product and utilized it, I found it to be easy to use and it resulted as quick as the manufacturer claimed it would. The tone on completion was loud enough to hear even by my husband. who suffers from issues with loss of hearing in one ear. The thermometer is capable of showing a happy or sad face based on the result for those unsure of the best temperature range that they should maintain. This range is clearly explained in the included pamphlet of directions found in the packaging. I found it a little difficult to open the plastic container at first, but that became easier with use and I looked at it as if it was kept clean in the packaging since it was sealed tightly. Based on all of the features offered with this product I feel it was worth the price I paid for it. I feel it provided accurate results. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends who are looking for a thermometer for daily use in their home.

This thermometer was a great buy at a great price! It's very user friendly and has special alerts for you when a fever may be present. It also has little facial expressions that correspond with your temperature. So if it's a normal temp, there's a little arrow that points to the smiley face. High temp points to the frowny face. For cleaning, it is waterproof which I love because I always hate worrying about if I get water into a part I shouldn't when washing. I also love that it's fast, flexible and even comes with it's own carrying case. Another good thing about it is that it has auto shut off in case you forget to turn it off! Great for scatterbrains like myself! :) Overall, a great product at a great price!

Things I like: (1) It's very easy to use; even a child could take their temperature and look to the emojis to see if they had a fever coming-on, or already had a fever; (2) The screen is easy to read; the numbers are large and they show up well; (3) There is a beeping system that alerts you when you're done taking your temperature, but makes a different set of beeps to alarm you that you either have a fever approaching, or you already have a fever; and, (4) It's the best thermometer I've used in a long time and I have to use one every day. Things I thought needed a smidge of improvement and the only reason it didn't get a five star review: (1) The cap at the end of the thermometer that covers where the battery goes, didn't seal quite evenly; and, (2) There was a bit of a manufacturing imperfection on the blue part that goes into your mouth -- this really would be an issue if it didn't look like someone bit it and the fact that I put it into my mouth. It simply grossed me out a smidge and it probably shouldn't have done. I'm being a bit harsh on the manufacturing, but only because it's something I use every day and it goes into my mouth. All that said, after using this thermometer, I've already been suggesting this version and other thermometers from the same company to all my friends, especially the ones with children -- who understand emoji language. You wouldn't go wrong with this product, unless of course, you're looking for an ear thermometer as this one is oral or rectal. Otherwise, this is a great product and I'm using it regularly.

This thermometer is good quality. I was impressed that if you register it it has a year long warranty on it plus the 30 day return if you’re not pleased with it for any reason. It fast an accurate and the tip is bending so if your little is moving around it stays in place better & won’t effect the teeth etc.

We used the optical non-touch thermometers for a while and loved the convenience. Then my wife got quite ill and her temperature readings became very important. We discovered that the optical thermometer's readings were not very accurate at all. This was a step back for us to an under the tongue device and yes it does take about 10 seconds to deliver a reading. But the readings are very accurate and the device is very easy to use. Be sure to buy the disposable plastic covers for the device and the mini-alcohol wipes to clean it after using.

I purchased this Oral Thermometer based on its promises of a fast, 10-second reading and a helpful fever alarm, hoping it would be a reliable tool for my family. Unfortunately, this product has proven to be not only a waste of money but also dangerously unreliable. Its primary function is to measure temperature accurately, and it fails at this most fundamental task. The most glaring issue is its wild inconsistency. In one instance, my child was visibly flushed and warm to the touch, yet this thermometer gave a reading of 97.8°F. Suspicious, I immediately used our old, trusted thermometer, which registered a 101.5°F fever. To test the iProven further, I took three back-to-back readings on myself and received three completely different results: 96.9°F, 98.8°F, and 97.4°F. This level of variance makes the device utterly useless for making any health-related decisions. Furthermore, the "10-second" measurement claim is pure fiction. To get a reading that even remotely stabilized, I had to hold it in place for well over a minute. The device often beeps prematurely with an absurdly low number, making the fast-read feature a misleading gimmick. Because it never once registered an actual fever, the "fever alarm" feature is completely pointless. The build quality feels cheap and flimsy, and the battery cover is difficult to remove without feeling like you might snap the plastic. When your family’s health is on the line, you need a tool you can trust without a shadow of a doubt. This is not that tool. Do not risk your peace of mind or your family's well-being on this inaccurate and untrustworthy product. I strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Easy to use and read. Nice for the money easy to read.

Ease of use The only thing I’d like better is if the Amazon instructions for use matched the box as there are conflicted instructions on whether to first press the button before putting the thermometer in place. I also don’t like the sound of the notifications and would like an option to turn them off. Not sure about accuracy as I didn’t test.

Gives false reading
