Exergen thermometer questions

[TwoBees]

Is the Exergen sold at BRU for $50 the same model sold at Walmart for $25?

Yes and No.... Yes, they are the same model... but when you buy it at Walmart, you have money for the fever-reducer as well Sorry, had to say it!

We paid about $33 for ours at Target. It's the only commercial one they make.

Thank you! I had a feeling that might be the difference!

What do you all think of yours? We have one and I just can't get it to be very consistent. it told me yesterday I had a fever of 107!! Then 101, 101.5, 99.8, etc... Also, one side of my head is always "hotter" than the other side. I always test it out on me when i take DS's temp, just to get a baseline.

I got it about 1.5 yrs ago and really don't use it that much. thank goodness DS is pretty healthy these days.

I always do behind the ear. Seems to be most consistent when checked against a regular thermometer.

Off topic but Costco has them for $24 right now. It isn't as much of a deal once you add shipping ($6 for us) but it would be nice if they had them for that price in store.

I've never heard of that! Do you just hold it there under the lobe?

Maybe they're about $28 at Sam's also??
