Omron MC 720 Non Contact Digital Infrared Forehead Thermometer With 1 Second Quick Measurement, 3 in 1 Measurement Mode, Auto On/off & Backlight, White, (MC-720_Omron _AW)

Very handy and ergonomically designed with minimalistic design. Build quality is pretty good, does not feel cheap at all like other ir guns. Omron is a brand one can trust. There were some basic confusions in the reviews, trying to clarify a bit from my experience. 1.Lots of people complained about temp unit change from C to F, but it is really simple, just need to follow the steps as mentioned in the booklet. When the display shows ambient temp, press and hold START button, press ON button and hold it for 3 -4 sec (keep start button pressed at that time as well), C will change to F or vice versa. 2. Lo will be displayed on taking forehead temp if the forehead is little wet or sweaty. Forehead should be absolutely dry to get correct temp. Er 1 will be displayed if successive reading is taken within 5 sec.

I’ve found this thermometer to be quite frustrating because the readings are highly inconsistent. The accuracy seems to depend entirely on your technique; if you aren’t at the exact 1–3 cm distance, or if the person has a bit of sweat or has just come in from the cold, the results vary significantly. The "Environmental Sensitivity" is also a major drawback. You have to let the device acclimate for at least 30 minutes if you move it between rooms with different temperatures; otherwise, you just get a "Lo" error or an inaccurate reading. Even when stationary, I’ve experienced "Sequential Variation" where taking three readings in the same minute gives me results differing by as much as 1.5°C. It’s hard to trust a medical device when you can't get the same number twice in a row.

Excellent product for infant, reads in 1second, this forehead thermometer is powered with a CR2032 battery and not CR123A which is mentioned by the seller. Gives the same reading if tried at the same time & spot. I will Advise to Purchase this. . Battery Life is Pathetic it works only for 60day in unused condition.

It is a good quality product from a reputed brand but readings for low grade fever is not at all accurate. It reads temperature above 100 ok but not below 100.

Quality product. Very Happy with the purchase. Before buying this tried 3 or 4 IR thermometer but none of them was accurate so had to return them. Then came across this one. Initially the price appeared to be a bit high. But after using it, very happy as it not only gives accurate body temperature without contact but also gives room temperature too. Also both scales can be used - centigrade as well as Fahrenheit. Overall very good product. Would recommend buying this.

Purchased this product from amazon with one day delivery. Very satisfied with the product. Easy to use if you have a glance of the user manual. I have been using omron product for the last 5 years and its always the best in clinical apparatus. Bought this for my 2 year old kid. very easy to get the temperature rating within seconds. you can switch it on and off therefore there is not much power wastage. I had seen lot of negative reviews regarding this product in the same amazon page. but i cant understand what is the motive behind it. of all the available products in this price range omron is always reliable and you can go ahead with purchasing it.

The promise of a "1-second temperature reading" means absolutely nothing if that reading can't be trusted. Every single time I use it, the numbers are way off compared to a traditional oral thermometer. The list of "do's and don'ts" is exhausting. If you don't perfectly balance all of these environmental factors, you end up with wild variances or A medical device shouldn't require laboratory-perfect conditions just to get a baseline body temperature. If you need something reliable and quick without a 20-step preparation checklist, look elsewhere. The person was outside in the cold or just took a bath within the last 30 minutes. They are sweating, wearing cosmetics, or have hair slightly blocking their forehead. The device hasn't acclimated to the exact room temperature for at least 30 minutes. You hold the thermometer in your hand for too long (which alters its ambient sensor). You aren't positioned exactly 1 to 3 cm away from the absolute center of the forehead.

I had seen many reviews stating the thermometer is difficult to use but I had decided to go with reviews that said its good as omron is a trusted brand. I was so wrong. It is impossible to measure temperature easily. Half the time it shows error, at other times Lo, switching it off is the next hassle and it seems like we need to hit a lottery to get one reading!! It takes me 2 minutes to get to the point where it will read the temperature. Agreed the actual reading of temperature is fast but what's the point if it takes so long to get there and then if you need to measure a second time, the same drill will have to be repeated again. Not at all what I expected from Omron!

Good

Non si sente il suono. La luce accende in ritardo e solo dopo avere premuto per la valutazione. Delusione totale .non è alla altezza dei prodotti Omron in mio possesso. non vale la pena comprarlo solo per la sua bellezza esterna e per una buona confezione.

Superb product very easy to use. Outstanding product

Got it for home use and loved the accuracy of it

Hasn’t worked from day 1. Visiting nurses couldn’t figure it out. JUNK
