Braun ThermoScan 7 Ear thermometer - Age Precision Technology - Colour-coded Digital Display - Baby and Infant Friendly - #1 Brand among doctors(1)

I recently bought the Braun Ear Thermometer, and I’m genuinely impressed! As a parent, accuracy and speed are everything when checking temperatures, and this device delivers both flawlessly. The Age Precision technology is a game-changer—it adjusts the fever guidance based on age, which gives me peace of mind whether I’m checking my toddler or myself. The color-coded display makes it incredibly easy to interpret results at a glance: green for normal, yellow for elevated, and red for fever. No second-guessing! Plus, the reading is ready in just 3 seconds, which is perfect for restless kids. I’ve tested it multiple times, and the readings are consistently accurate. It’s also very intuitive to use—just pop on a disposable lens filter, press the button, and you’re done. For the quality and reliability Braun offers, I think it’s excellent value for money. If you want a thermometer that combines speed, precision, and smart features, this is the one to get. Highly recommended! Pros: ✔ Age Precision technology for tailored guidance ✔ Color-coded display for quick interpretation ✔ Fast 3-second readings ✔ Accurate and reliable results ✔ Easy to use and hygienic Cons: ✖ Requires disposable lens filters (extra cost)

Used in the clinical setting. Very reliable and well made thermometer. Robust for being carried around on visits and for surgeries. Accurate, easy to use and good compact size.

Brilliant! We bought an older version of this 10 years ago and it has lasted brilliantly with a fair bit of use. We needed to replace it and this new one is just great. Same high quality that I’d expect from this brand. Comes with a pack of caps, plus 2 Duracell batteries pre-installed so you can use it straight away. You need to select the age of the child first, then when you take the temperature, the screen lights up green to show you their temperature is normal, orange to show there is a fever and red for a high fever. Also shows the exact temperature in clear text. It’s quick and easy taking the temperature, with minimal bother to the person you’re checking. Doesn’t feel too heavy and comes in a holder that has a space for spare caps which is a nice upgrade from my previous thermometer . Very easy to read and use. Would definitely recommend for peace of mind with children (and adults!)

The Braun ThermoScan® 7+ Connect has been excellent. The Bluetooth feature makes it super convenient — all readings are stored in the app on your phone, and it even gives guidance on when you might want to contact a doctor, which is a nice touch. I’ve found it to be very accurate, and it connected to my phone first time without any hassle. It’s easy to use, and I’ve had no issues with setup or daily use. One quick press and instantly you get a reading of the temperature. Since I’m the only one using it, I keep it on the adult setting, but it has options for different age groups. You can also set it to silent mode if needed, though I personally don’t mind the beep — it just confirms the reading’s done. The app itself is clean, straightforward, and easy to understand. Reliable, smart, and well-designed. Definitely recommend if you want a modern thermometer that does more than just give you a number.

There was a period early on in COVID-19 lockdown that it was near enough impossible to buy one of these for a reasonable price. Even Amazon were charging £50+ for them, some unscrupulous third-party sellers were listing them over £100, and people were buying them because they were desperate. You should be looking to buy them at around £40. It just so happened we needed one during this period, because our baby was sick and we were told we should try monitoring his temperatures. This had nothing to do with COVID, else we'd have just waited. Thankfully I managed to get one at £38 directly from Amazon, and it does seem to be very good, generally. The accuracy is hard to gauge really. Perhaps it fluctuates slightly due to ear position etc, but I have noticed its readings do vary occasionally. It has 3 temperature modes for: newborns, 3-36months and 36months+ - This is because temperatures can be more serious at these earlier points so the 'allowable' temperature tolerances are lower. It is helpful though that these are suitable from birth. I chose this style over other thermometers because this is the type all the medical staff seemed to use in the maternity wards. The tip is pre-warmed to try and make it less of a shock when taking your child's temps, however I still find our son hates having it done, and wriggles everywhere! It also has a memory feature, which tells you the last 9 stored temperatures. It's easy to use, though I would like the thermometer to remember/store the last age range entered. It's a faff having to add same age every time I want to use it. The case is nice and protects the vulnerable probe side of the device. It also comes with a small box of tips. These are single-use (not ideal) disposable tips that keep the unit hygienic. You get around 20 of these with the unit. You can buy refills via Amazon (I bought the official Braun ones, but there are cheaper imitations if looking to save money). The case allows you to store a box or two of these tips within itself. The reading only takes around 2 seconds once in the ear and button pressed, which is impressive, especially when trying to take temps of an irate baby! If temperatures are in the normal range for the selected age group, the temperature will be returned with a green backlight. If it is elevated for the age range it'll be amber, and it'd be advisable to monitor closely any changes. If it is too high, it'll show a red backlight. I believe if this happens you should speak to a GP about it (especially if children). This is worth the price in my opinion. There are cheaper alternatives, but I feel that if the Doctor's, Midwives and Nurses are using them all over the NHS then they must be the better option.

Brilliant. Easy to use. Clear display. Very accurate and reliable. Lights up so the screen can be seen in the dark if needing to check temperature overnight. Worth the money.

This has been great value for use with my children. Seems to give accurate temperatures to guide us to seek medical attention. Clear to read

Do not shy away because of the price this is definitely a worthy investment the app is amazing you can track more than just the temperature, you can log symptoms, medicines ect the display is interchangeable for all ages so you know you are getting the most accurate reading for your baby or child. The screen is easy to read and not to bright and the nifty light light means you can ensure the thermometer is in your childs ear in the night. I can see this lasting for years to come.
