This review concerns the light blue Vicks Non Contact Infrared Body Thermometer I purchased a few weeks ago. The model number on the box is REF VNT275CA.
Unfortunately, I cannot vouch for the thermometer’s accuracy as I have not had any occasion to test it for fever since my purchase or to test it against a doctor's own thermometer. However, as far as ease of use is concerned, it is very simple to use. I personally prefer keeping my thermometer preset to its ‘body’ mode so that, when it’s time to use it, I just pick up the thermometer, place the measuring end about one inch from my forehead and press the trigger. The temperature measurement appears on the dial two seconds later and, so far, all the test readings I have obtained have been between 97.7 and 98.6. I am not a member of the medical profession but, as far as I know, these numbers appear to me to be within normal day-to-day body temperature variations for a fever-free person.
I read many reviews for digital thermometers before purchasing this one and I ordered the Vicks model because it seemed to me its reviewers had fewer complaints about wildly inaccurate measurements. In the few weeks I’ve owned my thermometer, its measurements have never varied wildly and, because they have been rather consistent day-to-day, my impression is that my thermometer's measurements are accurate.
