Exergen Temporal Scanner Infrared Thermometer Review & Giveaway!

CONTEST OVER! Congrats to Sara, Comment #13!! I emailed you! THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!!

Boy, you would think with Summer here, your little kids would not get a cold and get sick, but that is not the case, unfortunately! It still happens, ugh! I woke up this morning to a sick, slightly feverish babygirl. And then in the afternoon, while waiting for sister in-law and her kids to come over, my little boy gets the highest fever and a sick tummy! Boy was I thrilled that only the day before, I received the Exergen Temporal Scanner (Infrared Thermometer) in the mail to review. I thought, now is the chance to put this to the test!

I opened it up and read the easy instructions on how to use it, and tried it on my daughter first. It read 98.8, then I did it two more times to make sure I was doing it right, and the exact same reading came up. I then tried it on my son (it is so easy to use! All you do is put the thermometer to his/her forehead and press the little button and run it across their forehead to the hairline, and unpress the button and there ya have it!) My son’s temp was alot higher, it was reading at 102.3! I did it again, twice to be exact, to make sure it was right, and it was. Like I said, this is so easy to use and my daughter wanted me to use it on her, just look at her picture below, lol!

and you can see that the numbers are very easy to read, even in this cell phone picture:

I was very happy that I had a reliable thermometer handy that I did not have to stick under an armpit or in a stinky bum for a minute or two! Very easy and accurate, easy for me, easy for my babies! Every Mama should have this in her medicene cabinet.
