We had until now the thermometer Philips, which one must draw on the forehead. But after 13 years it is unreliable and unfortunately there is this thermometer is no longer for sale. So I opted for the thermometer Beurer and I'm very happy with it. It is relatively small, lightweight and fits comfortably in your hand. It's pretty foolproof to use and shows the temperature within a few seconds. If you make multiple measurements within a short time, one can notice a slight measurement error (+/- 0.1). To determine whether you have a fever, it is sufficient in any case. I would buy it again!
