Best thermometer to buy?

[Bluebird29]

I’m going to buy a thermometer. Any recommendations? Is an ear one better?

Have you tried to buy one? None in stock

I was looking on amazon.

I have a braun thermoscan in-ear, had it a few years now and very happy with it.

I think that’s going to be the one I’m going to get £60 though now!

All the LOLz. Good luck getting one ANYWHERE.

The Braun one?... is £60!? Gosh, I think I only paid about £25 max
That must be cv related price boom? Gutted.

We have a Braun IRT6020 ThermoScan 5 Ear Thermometer bought in July 2019 for £34 from amazon. Recommended by the hospital as DH had to take his temp every few hours post cancellation related surgery.

I've just ordered very basic one off amazon, delivery due 1-11 April lol.

I have the braun in-ear one as my hospital uses these for kids. The trick is to ensure you have your child’s normal temp recorded so you know when to get help.

Mine said due in on 17th so not long to wait.

I don’t have kids but if it’s good enough for a hospital then it’s good enough for me. Thanks.

eBay has quicker delivery times than amazon as long as you check it’s not from China/Chinese suppliers.

They are getting sneaky with this ‘location’ filter.

You can buy them from chemists too and the braun one is expensive at £60. I purchased one yesterday.

I have the Braun one, had it for years. I did pay about £40 and I think it was reduced.

Ive got the Tommee Tippee one but cant find the little plastic ear covers anywhere. Just ordered a little baby hygiene kit from Amazon on Prime delivery which had little nail scissors, brush, and a little thermometer for £12. That'll have to do!

I have one which is fine as long as your temp isn’t over 34.5° 🙄

Our thermometer broke a couple of weeks ago. Ordered a new one off Amazon - just a basic job. £3 odd for the thermometer and over £30 for 'express' delivery if you want it before April...
