“I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and am so glad that I did. I love this thermometer! With COVID and the pandemic it has been a fight to constantly check my three year old's temperature. This is the only thermometer that I have been able to use on my son and trust me I have bought a lot over the last year. No only does he sit still for me to check, but it is so easy to use he enjoys checking my temperature as well. I also love the app and that I am able to track my child's temperature on a regular basis. While it would be nice if there was an option to check forehead as well, overall this is a great option and I would highly recommend it for those with young children.”
“I was given the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This thermometer is really neat because it connects to the Kinsa app on your phone. The thermometer was really easy to set up. It actually took longer to open the batteries than it did to get the thermometer and app set up. Once you create an account, you can add a profile for each person that you want to measure on the app. My 4 year old had fun selecting her avatar (a unicorn) and we put in her birthday. The thermometer was easy enough for her to use and it made it easy for me to take her temperature as well. The app is also really easy to use. There were a few times I got an error message on the thermometer and it said something about a hardware update but it wasn't a constant problem. My favorite part of the app was being able to track the temperatures for each person. Luckily we were all healthy when using this, but it would be really useful if your child was sick so you could see how their temperature has gone up and down. I also felt like the thermometer was reliable. All in all I would recommend this product as it is easy to use and the app helps you keep track.”
“I'm a mom of 3 kids ages 5 and under, so needless to say, we are exposed to a lot of yuck. Taking temperatures has always been a struggle, especially for my 2 year old who struggles with recurring ear infections. He doesn't want anything near his ear for longer than 2 seconds and ear thermometers in the past have been bothersome for him, especially during infections.
Thanks to the Stellar Review Panel, we were able to try this Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer and its been amazing. It is insanely fast to read temperatures, even during infections and it closely matched temperatures taken on other thermometers. I found it to be a great size and easily fit in my 5 year old, 2 year old, and 5 month old's ear. I love that it doesn't require any plastic disposable cover like others we have used in the past.
I think the game changer for me was the app. It is really simple to set up and navigate (it took me about 3 minutes to set up everyone's profile) and I love that it customizes recommendations based on the age of the child and the other symptoms. Since I have an infant, that feature is my favorite because my threshold for seeking care is lower for my 5 month old than my 5 year old.
I also really love that it records records of medications given. The timeline on the app is a great visual to see when/if temperatures begin to change and if symptoms are resolving.
Perhaps my only downside to this is that it relies on batteries. We don't always have batteries on hand, and it would be great if Kinsa had a rechargeable option for this thermometer.
Overall, we really love this product and will not go back to our other thermometer!”
“Holy smokes this product is amazing! As a mom of two, an ear thermometer is a must in my medicine cabinet. This thermometer though is far superior to any I have ever used before. It is like the Apple of thermometers! It links up to an app which allows you to create an avatar for each of your kids. When you use it to take your kids temperature it immediately displays the results on the thermometer and in the app. The app then asks you if your child is experiencing any other symptoms and assists to advise you from there. You are able to save temperature readings and review them when necessary as well as share them via email, text, etc. Additionally, you can keep track of when you gave medication, set reminders, make notes, enter a diagnosis, and input symptoms as they arise. Aside from the incredible technical specs it is extremely user friendly, has a beautiful design (I love the cap on the top to keep the piece you place in your ear clean), and is amazingly affordable. My favorite feature though is how fast it works. Nothing is worse than struggling to take the temperature of a kid who is sick and fussy. The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer works almost instantly. Literally once you place it in the ear within approximately 2 seconds you have the reading and it's super accurate! I am so thankful I got to test this amazing product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is definitely going to be my go to from now on when I have to take my children's or my own temperature.”
“I received the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. The thermometer is easy to hold and feels comfortable in my hand. I do feel that the probe is a little big. They recommend gently pulling the top of the ear back in order to get the probe in the ear for an accurate temp but I still worry if it is getting far enough into those little ears. I love that there is an app where you can add each family member and track their temperatures. This is so helpful when trying to remember temperatures at a doctor's appointment after a sleepless night and especially if more than 1 family member was sick! It also tracks symptoms and provides recommendations for calling or going to the doctor. I would recommend this thermometer to anyone!”
“First I want to thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this thermometer in exchange for my honest review! Where has this thermometer been hiding? I LOVE this thing! It reads so quickly! Once you put it in the ear and push the button you get a reading before you can even say "Thermometer". It is crazy how fast it is! The app is very helpful and easy to use as well. You can create a profile for each family member and the app records every temperature. You can also add in medications so that you never have to wonder when the next dose is due again! The app will even remind you when it's time for the next dose of medicine. The app also will ask and record any symptoms as well as advise when to reach out to the doctor. I love that the app and thermometer makes it so easy to take care of your sick child but especially in the middle of the night when you are half asleep! The fact that it tracks the temperature and time without me having to input it is my favorite feature. The speed of the temperature read is also very convenient for kids! The reading is very accurate and reliable as well. I cannot recommend this thermometer and this brand enough! This really is the best Thermometer I have ever used!”
“The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer is very easy to use and provides quick readings. Where some digital thermometers take a few seconds, this one pops up with my daughter's temperature in less time than the others. This means less time for her to get upset about having something in her ear and having her temperature taken.
The app is very straightforward and helps to provide insight based on the temperature. At one point my daughter's temperature had registered as a low temperature and the app advised what this could mean and when to be concerned. This definitely had to be my favorite part of the app, hands down.
I appreciated how consistent the temperature feedback was between readings. Some of the ones I have had recently advised taking three separate readings in order to get an average temperature. However, this thermometer provided the same readings consistently and left me feeling a lot more confident and at ease with what I was seeing.
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the opportunity to test this thermometer!”
“Wow this thermometer is fast! We have another brand ear thermometer that isn't as fast or accurate. I am impressed with how accurate this thermometer is - it remains within a .3 margin when taking my daughter's temperature. The app uploaded the temperature immediately - it is a quick, clean app that is easy to read and use. I love the history piece of the App- it gives me such a piece of mind to see my daughter's resting temperature and compare it to any anomaly. Thankfully no temperature has developed yet but I am sure it is only a matter of time! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this very useful thermometer!”
