“This thermometer is a game changer! First off, I am SO impressed with the accuracy of this thermometer. In the past, I have had issues with accuracy and consistency with both temporal and ear thermometers. They wouldn't read the same twice in a row, and were very discrepant from mercury thermometers. The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer reads consistently and is spot on when compared to our mercury thermometers! Impressive!
Another insanely convenient feature is its ability to connect to the smart app! Each reading is recorded via a Bluetooth connection and is saved to the child's individual profile! When he reading is complete, the app gives guidance as to the severity of the fever and possible next steps. It also prompts you to log other symptoms the child may be having. I would love to say that my brain is good enough to remember all of this, but I typically laboriously log symptoms and temperatures elsewhere. This app takes out multiple steps and records accurate and complete information! I am able to see recent information as well as pull up past temperature and symptom information! Not only was I impressed, my pediatrician couldn't believe that a tool like this existed!
The last thing that I was thankful for was how well my kids took to this thermometer! Both kids have some sensory aversions to things near their ears and head. They typically flinch or push away ear thermometers both for the shape and feel of the ear piece, and because the beep next to their ear bothers them. It makes taking temperatures a struggle, especially during the night. This ear piece was SO comfortable for both kids and neither complained about the quick beep! It was SUCH a win!! Any parent of a sensory kiddo will know exactly what I am talking about! This thermometer is a win all around! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this product!”
“This is by far one of the easiest to operate thermometers I have ever used. You just push the button to turn it on, put the sensor in your ear (or your wiggly child's ear) and push the button once and it immediately results. No waiting time! No holding your child still forever while waiting for those flashing lines to result :-). It just tells you the result right away. I really like that there is no need for probe covers which I never seem to have in the same place as the thermometer. The probe can just be cleaned easily with an alcohol wipe. It is also helpful that this works for the whole family. The app is pretty helpful. If both kids and yourself are sick you can easily track each person's temperature, symptoms and treatments. This is great when you're sick and trying to keep track of everyone else. The app also gives advise about what steps to take given the temperature. All around a great product with excellent features. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this awesome thermometer.”
“No one enjoys when their child is sick, but having the right tools close at hand is crucial when it inevitably happens. The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer is a must have in your medicine cabinet. The 1 second in-ear temperature reading is quick and easy; it can even be done in the middle of the night without disturbing your little one's slumber! I found this thermometer incredibly accurate; I have had situations where other thermometers have been inaccurate and have caused unnecessary panic and late night trips to urgent care. I also appreciate that there is an user friendly app that links to the thermometer. Each member of your household has a profile and the app keeps track of health information regarding that individual, including medication tracking and reminders! My favorite feature is that the app tells me what to do for my child given their age and current temperature; sometimes when you are in a high stress situation you forget what temperatures require which level of care and the app makes that information easily accessible to you! Overall, this is a wonderful tool to have in your arsenal when you or your little one is feeling icky; thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this product for free in return for my unbiased review.”
“With 4 kids you never know when a fever or illness will crop up. Today, my 4 year old woke up hot and feeling just yucky! Thankfully with the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer, it made taking her temperature a breeze. Just pop off the protective covering and gently tug the ear, place the thermometer in, and tap a button! Easy as 1,2,3! I loved how quickly the thermometer was able to read her temperature, 101.3, and then quickly, through the app, help me asses her issue and review her symptoms. It also gave me the oral medications suggested dosing instructions from the side of the packaging so that I didn't have to look it up! After I saved her temp, updated her symptoms, and gave her a dose of medication, I set a reminder, through the app, to have me check her temperature again in an hour. After completing all the steps, I got an email from a registered nurse, YES YOU HEARD THAT, a registered nurse, who broke down everything that may be worrisome, when to re-check her temp, when to call a doc, how to keep her comfortable, what medicines are ok to give and what's not ok to give, etc! This really helped me to remain calm and collected and to make clear and concise decisions regarding her health. This thermometer is really geared towards helping us moms and dads to know what to do if a fever comes up. I love the accessibility of the app and how easy it is to set up and maneuver. I think my second most favorite feature was not having to use any protective coverings for the ear piece. Just wipe clean with alcohol between uses and you're good to go. I definitely highly recommend this thermometer to any and every person in the market for a new one.

“I was given this ear thermometer to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The first time I used it I was in a hurry (when AREN'T parents of small kids in a hurry?!) and I was able to unbox, download the app, sign up for an account, link the thermometer, and take my son's temperature in less than 5 minutes. It was so easy, and very cool to see the temperature on the app as well as the device. My son didn't even flinch and he normally doesn't love stuff in his ears. Gone are the days of notes on my phone or paper on my countertop recording temps, and "thinking I'll remember" when I call the doctor but forgetting. The app helps me keep everything recorded and accurate which is my favorite feature I never knew I needed but will never live without again! It also has a cool symptom checker where it helps give advice on when to call the doctor. Definitely recommending this to friends building their baby registry and also my experienced mom friends who are taking temperatures more often these days.”
“The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer is great! It takes temperature so quickly that my kids actually let me do it without a fight. The thermometer is easy to use, reliable, and has a battery indicator right on the screen so you don't have to guess if it needs to be changed. The app was a nice bonus. It was easy to make profiles for every family member (my kids loved choosing their profile icons). Each time you take someone's temperature, you can add symptoms. The app even gives you advice such as if you need to call the doctor or what dose of medicine is appropriate. The only downside is you have to turn location on to set up the app and transfer temperature readings from the thermometer. Overall, the kinsa smart ear thermometer is a great addition to my medicine cabinet. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this ear thermometer.”
“The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer is awesome! The app and thermometer are easy and user friendly. I really like that it tracks the kids' temps and gives age based recommendations regarding care. The thermometer seemed accurate and gave comparable readings to others we own. I like that we don't need the earpiece covers because my kiddos were always pulling them off our other thermometers. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try this thermometer!”
“I've tried a handful of thermometers and the ear ones are so convenient. So far this one is more accurate and faster than the other models of ear thermometers I've tried. The thermometer is lightweight and easy to use with only one button. I love the auto-off feature because when I have a sick kid, the last thing I need is dead batteries in our thermometer!
I love the app and ability to keep track of multiple family members temperatures. The added ability to log and track symptoms along with temperatures is extra helpful when communicating with our pediatrician. too.
My kids have been free of illness so I haven't taken advantage of the feature, but when you log symptoms you are given age-appropriate recommendations and a staff nurse will reach out with advice/guidance. Knowing that I have an extra resource to turn to when I am worried about my child's health is so reassuring! Overall I'm very happy with this thermometer and the support from the company.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this ear thermometer.”
