Sometime ago I bought a different thermometer which purported readings from forehead or ear
And it just sat there for over a year because I felt fine. Last weekend I wasn't feeling fine and got it out of the bathroom closet to use. Not the best time for an initial review of it since I had even less patience than usual, but the reality is that it had a user manual that required reading glasses, page tabs and a cross-referenced index. Let's just say I wasn't thrilled, put it back and I went out to the kitchen to put my cooking probe thermometer under my tongue. The glitzy one is going to the resale shop for someone either more skilled or patient.
Back to Amazon: all I wanted was on/off/temp, and this thermometer seemed to fit the bill. Got it today and it's just what I need: on/off/temp. Don't plan to change from F to C, but I can see how to do it. Sometimes simple is still the best. Thanks!
