Withings Thermo Smart Temporal Thermometer - No Contact Forehead Thermometer for Babies, Infants, Toddlers & Adults | FSA Eligible | Perfect for Home, Travel & Medical Use

Ok this thing is awesome. We had some Bluetooth thermometers before and they didn’t last that long. Our sons home nurse had a thermometer like this but she found that it took several tries to find an accurate thermometer. We ordered this after a lot of research and found it has been reliable, easy to use, fast, consistent and pleasant to use. I like to take temps when the kids are sleeping and this allows me to do so without waking them or bothering them when they’re awake and just feel poor. It’s great that you can upload and save per person in the house although we more so just take temps and don’t bother with that function unless we’re working with something like the flu. This works for our baby, big kid and adults. I would seriously recommend this to anyone. It’s also been 3 years and it’s working perfect still, I just came to buy another for another household, which shows my dedication to this product.I have been eyeing this thermometer for a while because with 3 young children it felt like we were always dealing with one sickness or another. This thermometer is super easy to use and I absolutely love being able to assign temps to each of our family members. It's especially nice when we are out of town and someone else is watching them, because when a temp is taken, it sends it to the app on our phone also. It's just nice to have it all recorded for any questions you may get from the Doctor's office or clinic!This is a review composed by a technological amateur hopefully for the benefit of fellow amateurs. Amateurs and specialists are all one when it comes to needing thermometers. That could also be said about needing brain surgery I suppose, but when it comes to thermometers the threshold of required competence in operation is not quite so high.Digital domestic appliances call for similar modest skill-levels. I have another ‘family’ thermometer of a comparably advanced type, the Braun No Touch Plus Forehead Digital, and it has been mine for about a year. I also own two comparable sets of digital bathroom scales, and once you have got used to setting up and using any one of these units you will have lost any nervousness or hesitancy in tackling the others. It’s a bit of a fiddle to start with, but fairly plain sailing after that. This new entrant to my family device-collection needs to have an app downloaded on your smartphone or tablet, and that is new, but we had all better get used to that.Genuinely ‘technical’ reviews are for genuinely technical people and can no doubt be found located in genuinely technical publications. What I can best do here is advise any interested readers to go to some boffin→consumer publication and check out the functionality you want. You will find, at the most superficial level, that this kind of thermometer does not require physical contact with the patient. That is certainly a big plus when taking the temperature of a fretful infant who would otherwise have needed the thermometer inserted up his or her backside. However when I consulted Gizmodo for an assessment that would overawe me with its advanced perceptions I found that the first ‘plus’ for this thermometer was that it didn’t need that sort of thing! The user public can’t be as far ahead of me as I thought.You pay a premium, of course, for no-touch technology. You can get very good digital thermometers that still need contact with the skin (or mouth or anus) at a fraction of the price and a fraction of the setup palaver. We have the excellent Vicks AgeSmart, so what all this comes down to is that within different technology levels and functionality levels you are not likely to go wrong if you take a little time to check the market out. It is not a huge market, and of course the market surveys keep pouring out. Choose a publication you like the look of, and unless you are independently knowledgeable you will simply be taking a punt.So my review has consisted of sending any readers it finds to other more specialist reviews. Not only am I not ashamed of that, I regard it as my plain duty. It would be an outrage for me to try to give a firm recommendation among products of such advanced design. Further up the food-chain I hope the professional reviewers are keeping in mind that it’s non-professionals whom they are advising to spend their money. Good luck, all of you. Suppose, theoretically, you picked the optimum product out of this difficult market, how long would it stay optimum? My family and I got ours off the UK Vine. It’s excellent. So are the two other products named in this review, so are many named elsewhere. You’re going to have to take a flyer if you ever seriously want to buy.This is my second one of these and it is so good that I had to buy it after the batteries leaked and destroyed the old one. Temperature readings exactly match the forehead thermometer that advertises a lot, but this is way nicer to use.The big downside is that the app is virtually abandoned and hasn’t integrated with Apple Health for years. It doesn’t integrate too well with Withings’ own HealthMate app either, but that’s less disappointing.Easy and accurate! Tracks and stores date for multiple people. Holds power forever. We’ve had ours for years! And it’s so great we have bought 3 more to give to family members. Highly recommend!Let's start by saying that the product itself is really good, you can tell immediately from the first moment you have it in your hands; for those addicted to the "unboxing experience", the box it comes in is very much "Apple style" so great in all sides.The product is sold in the Apple website as well which is another guarantee of quality.Easy to use and it pair with it's app immediately without problems (I am talking about iPhone 7 and 11).Now let's list the negative sides:Batteries are already placed in the device hence you better have a pair of new AAA batteries at hand as you'll need to replace them right away.The device itself is a bit bulky but this could be also a positive thing, depends from the use (definitely not a travel friendly device).The worse thing of them all which almost made me return it: you MUST create an account in the company server to be able to use it!!!!! WTH!!! Why in this world do I need to register myself to use a thermometer!?!?!?! PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!!!!!! This is just ridiculous! The app won't even open without an account!You'd get 0 stars but the device is actually good so I am being objective in my review.I’ve looked at these since they came out but just hadn’t been able to bring myself to spend full price. When it hit Treasure Truck and I had some points to use, I knew it was time.Not entirely sure how accurate it is vs other temperature locations but it does seem to give consistent readings… so get a baseline when you’re healthy and irregularities will be easier to tell.No real complaints… it syncs nicely to the app, reads quickly and setup easily.I've had mine for about a year and a half, bought at insistence of my mum just before my son was born, we thought it'd help with taking temperature of a sleeping child. Today is the day I'm finally giving up and I've just gone and ordered a Brain in-ear one.Yes, it's beautiful. I love such design, and it almost justifies its price. Luckily, we didn't need it all that much until last week, when my son just cycled through food poisoning, a virus and about 5 teeth coming through all at the same time. At this time it was essential for me to know "when to panic", so I kept taking his temperature. Today, it showed first 39.4, then 37.3, then 36.5 and after a couple of hours when I changed the batteries in the hopes it'd make a difference, we went from 40.5 to 37.1 all within 30 seconds. At the point when I nearly had a heart attack after seeing 40.5 on the display, my son was happily babbling with his toys and sticking his tongue out at me. That's when I realised the essential point of a thermometer is basically completely missing from this device and went on Amazon to order a different one.Other points I didn't like was the whole connectivity thing, although quite futuristic, I don't really see the point. I've never once needed to go back to temperature readings older than a week, and the rest you can surely remember as is. It was a little difficult figuring out how to cycle between the users, and I'm by not means tech-unsavvy - I just don't remember anywhere being mentioned that the display is a touchscreen.Also, it's not exactly silent. When you try to take the temp of a sleeping child in a blacked out room, it buzzes quite noisily when it goes on, and the light that flashes up is very bright. It actually woke my son up a few times I tried this, so I have to cover the light up with my hand, but with the sweeping movement you have to do, it isn't easy. It does take a bit too long to read too, in my opinion. Babies' heads are tiny! If it takes you a couple of seconds to swipe in slow motion across your own forehead, you'll able to swipe back and forth about 3 times on a baby. Which makes me wonder about the ensuing inaccuracy.So overall, although it does somewhat measure the temperature and looks lovely, it's time to say goodbye.Easy to set up and useHowever it gives inaccurate readings and I’ve been told that even though the product is faulty I cannot return it.Unfortunately the Thermo Smart could not be used without an app and this is something that was not clear before purchase. It cannot be used as a stand alone thermometer.The thermometer has to be used at 1cm from the forehead and i can only imagine that without guidance it cannot be easy to use.Beautiful to look at but sadly of no use to me.Add a family we struggled with thermometers that were easy enough to use with small children and babies. We had under am ones, in ear and the forehead ones.This device makes getting a reading quick, simple and accurate...even with babies when they are asleep. It can assign reasons to different family members and task changes. Automatically uploads the to the app and can be shared on to other apps like apple health. The app also let's you note down if you have your child calpol or any symptoms they showed.An expensive device to be sure, but money well spent I think.Very easy to set up. I already have withings scale so have a withing account etc. It records temperature incredibly quickly easy to link the reading to a family member. Readings are shown in the withings app along with weight etc, but they also come up as notifications on an iPad and iPhone and show on the device too. Compares well to a standard omron thermometer but in a fraction of the time. I will use both as my immune system is compromised at the moment and need to know if my temp goes above 37.5 but the withings will give me the quickest indication of that.
