For our Newborn I've been looking for a fast and accurate thermometer. I still can remember my childhood and not really pleasant rectal measurement, it should be an instrument for the ear. Now there are a number of devices in this category. So why this? First, there is the name - 'Brown' I connect still with quality. Secondly, I obviously researched extensively. The device has a backlit display. I find that very helpful. Depending on the measured temperature, it will turn green, yellow or red (normal to critical temperature). So you can see at first glance what's going on. In addition, there is a blinking LED, which indicates whether you have measured correctly. The speed of measurement is fast. In less than 2 seconds the result is displayed. At 3 test measurements in succession, there was only a temperature difference of 0.1 ° C - Really great !. The thermometer comes complete with case, 20 caps and 2 Duracell AA batteries. The equipment has been delivered from France and was within 3 days with me. I am very excited about the product and also the Order History and may issue an unlimited, strong buy recommendation!
