This thermometer is light with a good grip. By cons batteries are already nearly empty when I just got it ... Then start up, date, time, weird for a thermometer ... But in fact, it has a memory for the last 10 readings. One can take the temperature on the forehead, in the ear, or even that of an object. In short, a practical purpose, quick to the measure, which goes out automatically. Only the memory option is not useful for me, and too bad there was no storage box, or at least a fabric bag to avoid scratching the screen.
