Very helpful mom tool.
This is a great thermometer. My son recently got sick and had a fever along with it. He is 8 and it made it so simple to walk into his room and just point and get a reading without waking him up to do it. It is so simple and easy to use. Parent and patient friendly. It has a lot of features, like a 50 memory recall. I really like the color option because I need reading glasses to see and I don't always have them with me. It was very helpful to get a reading just based off the color on the lcd screen.

User manual useless
The user manual on the Equate Model: HTD8813C Non Contact Thermometer is the worst user manual I have ever seen. There was not a single procedure that could be used, from installing the batteries to operating the thermometer. The user manual might as well been written in Greek, the user manual was useless.

    No waking up your child!
    We have several thermometers with 2 kids so we have them in different places in the house for easy grabbing. We needed a new one due to one being broken and tried this. It's very fast and seems accurate and is a bit more on target then our old ones. I love that you can turn the beep sound off so it doesn't wake your sick child when you check them if they are sleeping. It also has a memory that saves the last 50 temperatures which is handy for tracking. It has 3 light options, green, normal, orange low grade and red fever. Overall I really like it and it works well not having to touch the skin with the infrared.

    Color Display for Quick Read
    This is a temperature gun for point and shoot instant reading. It doesn't come in contact with the person being tested. The display is color coded, with green meaning no fever, yellow meaning slight fever, and red meaning high fever. Simple and quick to use. It comes with batteries already installed.

    Great, accurate, quick
    Love this thermometer. I think it’s great for testing your kids when they’re not feeling well and also the water temperature in the bathtub! It’s quick and very accurate. I love the size of the screen display. Easy to see the reading and it stores the last 50 readings so if you ever need to go back and look. Definitely recommend for every household!

    Multipurpose fever digital thermometer
    Infrared digital thermometer by Equate checks a fever in one second only without touching a skin. It should be placed from half inch up to 2 inches from person according to manufacture in order to get clear reading. LCD display is designed with three different colors in for easy understating what is normal fever and what is higher and that you should seek help from professionals. Another great feature built in is that has different mode testing of temperature in food, liquid or even room air. It can store up to 50 last readings and it is rated to be used from infants to adults and anybody between. I been using Braun for last three or so years so I can only compared to that model. Equate design is physical bigger than Braun so it take more space for storage or travel. I am not sure which one is more calibrated correctly for temperature but when it read difference between Braun and Equate was only of 0.01 degree. Equate have slightly larger screen so it is easier to read for people who have problem with vision. Also Equate has extra reading modes for food, liquid or room temperature where Braun does not, and it is more economical.

    Household essential
    Every household needs a non-contact, 1 second read thermometer. This one can also be used for liquid temperature too, like to check the temp of a bath. The easy green, yellow and red light makes it easy to know what range of fever you are. You can also switch to Celsius or Fahrenheit. Made in China under the Equate brand.

    Very accurate
    Really nice contactless thermometer. Nice and light. Easy to read and very easy to use. I like that I can point it at any part of the body, where there is skin showing, and it comes up with a reading almost instantly. And very accurate. Most thermometers would show me near the 98 range. My body temperature is always in the 97 range. As you can see in the picture, it came up spot on with my temperature. Great infrared thermometer that will be so useful here.

    Works perfect right out the box
    This Equate Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is a game changer. The thermometer fits comfortably in my hand and it's really east to use, just press the trigger and within 1 to 2 seconds the display lights up and the temperature of the object you're pointing at is shown. The display is very bright and easy to read. What I love about this thermometer is that it's contactless. There is no need to touch the person whom temperature you're taking. I was previously using a digital mouth thermometer, which has to be disinfected before and after each use. Those days are a thing of the past. This particular infrared thermometer has a three-color fever alarm. Green for normal temperature, yellow for a slight fever, and red for a high fever. This Equate thermometer can even measure the temperature of surfaces, like water for example. You can cycle through body and surface modes using the “Mode” button. And the best thing about this thermometer is that it has a memory mode, which stores the last 50 temps that was taken. This comes in handy when monitoring someone's or somethings temperature. I don't have to write them down or try to remember what it was previously.

    Really nice
    This thermometer is the nicest I've ever owned. I tried using it on myself over and over and it was the same exact temperature every time. I had the same result with using it on my children and random household items. I love that it isn't just for body temperature. I can check the temperature of basically anything. The device is the perfect weight and fits very comfortably in my hand. Very happy with this.

    Great Thermometer
    The Equate Non contact Thermometer is fantastic, I love the fact that you check your temperature anytime anywhere without having to put it in your mouth and then have to disinfect it before anyone uses it again. I really like using it prior to drs appointments so that I'm not surprised if it is high there.

    Thermometer works great!
    This thermometer is super easy to use. Just pull trigger once and bam. No need to hold it down. It came with 1 battery backwards, but since several people have mentioned the same thing I would guess it's on purpose so batteries don't get wasted. So just pop it open and flip the one that's backwards. It really is as simple as point and fire, just keep it within 2 inches of target. Anytime you use it, the screen will show the temp of your target. If needing quick shots, like using it on several people lined up (classroom?), the screen itself will change colors. If green the temp is normal, yellow there is a slight fever, and red for high fever. So with just a glance as you shoot people with it, you can quickly see if someone has a fever. For us at home it's just the two of us, so we won't really use that feature. Actually, the one instance I might is if I use it and didn't have my glasses. If I see green blur then it's ok and no need to go looking for my glasses haha. In the process of testing it out I also found that it has an audio notifyer as well. One beep for green screen. Multiple beeps for yellow or red. Anyways, this is much better than the stick and hold under your tongue for X amount of time type of thermometers....just aim, fire, done.

    Great Thermometer! A Must Have!
    This thermometer has been very accurate at reading temperatures and is easy to use. All you have to do point at the forehead and squeeze the trigger on the handle. And the temperature displays on the LCD screen. It will display it in green, yellow or red. And if it's green that's normal, yellow is a slight fever and red means you have a high fever. There is also a surface mode feature that allows you to check the temperature of foods and liquids. As well as ambient room temperature as well. So, it measures temperature three different ways. I really love that it's a non-contact infrared thermometer because, it's much more sanitary and safer than the typical oral temperatures. Or even the ear thermometer ones too. I have been using this daily and have been impressed with the accuracy of it. I would highly recommend it!

    Love this thermometer
    I have been searching for one of these but unable to find one with great reviews until now. This equate 1 second read is absolutely accurate.3 different button functions, mode puts it in between body mode or surface mode. Memo puts it into recalling or erasing data. Ste puts it in parameter settings. I can take my temperature 3 different times from the same distance non touch and get the exact same results.

    Absolute must have imo. Accurate and easy to use.
    These were almost impossible to find for a while at the onset of the pandemic. Very accurate and so easy to use. Point at the forehead amd squeeze the trigger. Very vibrant display that goes green if healthy or red if the temperature is high. Highly recommend to have one of these in the house.

    Inaccurate
    This device is pretty inaccurate if you're not the exact distance away. It takes 3 AAA batteries which are included but they died after 2 uses. I'd prefer if it was rechargeable instead of battery powered. I tried using it several times with a different temp reading every time. It's a good concept but poor execution. I would not recommend this to family ot friends as a safe or accurate thermometer

    Works great with consistent results
    There are some dysfuntional no contact thermometers out there. But this one works great plus its easy to use. We checked its accuracy by taking temperatures of everyone in the house then comparing it to a digital mouth thermometer. The results were within 3 tenths of a degree each time, so its pretty accurate. It will register varied temperatures from different parts of the body but of course the forehead is recommended. I received it with the batteries switched around (maybe on purpose) so check your batteries if its not working.

    Super Easy to Use with Instant Results!
    I was anxious for my Equate Non-contact Infrared Body Thermometer to arrive as I have been religiously taking my temperature most days since covid started and I have been using an archaic thermometer that may or may not be working correctly. The only exact readings I had gotten in the past two years have been at my doctor's office which I only visit a few times a year. Packaged well - easy to set up with a micro booklet included. The one issue I did have was the batteries included were not in the correct position and one was firming stuck upside down. So with patience, a pair of plyers, and working very carefully not to harm the battery door I was able to release it and turn it around. So I turned it on - pointed it to the middle of my forehead and it worked! This truly is a one-second reading which beats the old-fashion waiting 1-3 minutes for results!

    Great
    Great I love that it reads your temperature with putting it in your mouth but the price could be lower so that everyone could afford it.
