“I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! I have never been a big fan of thermometers in general. Usually they take forever and most of the time because my child moves from being impatient I feel like I never get the right temp. NOT WITH THIS!! This thermometer is the best there is- hands down. It's super light, easy to use, no plastic things to change at the end and the app is genius! I used to put the temperatures in my notes in my phone and it was a pain. The app stores all the info for you! As a mom, that's a huge win. The thermometer takes the temp is less than a second and it super accurate. I've never been happier to have tested a product like this, if you're a mom- you must buy it!”
“I love this thermometer. First of all, it is extremely fast, which is critical when you have small children who don't want to sit still to get their temperature taken. It also doesn't require probe covers, which is wonderful, because who wants to go searching for probe covers that got lost somewhere when your kiddo is feeling lousy (and who really wants to have to buy new probe covers when you run out? What a pain). The app is very easy to use and will give you age-specific information regarding whether you should be concerned about a temperature reading. It also stores the temperature readings so you can refer back to them and don't have to write them down anywhere. AND it allows you to enter associated symptoms when you take a temperature, and also allows you to set reminders. I think the only downfall is that you do seem to need the app to get it up and running, so it's probably not a good option for someone without a smart phone. Overall, I love this product and highly recommend it!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this ear thermometer.”
“I am really loving the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer so far! Past thermometers I've used have given inconsistent readings even when taken back to back, but the Kinsa was consistent each time. Thankfully my family hasn't been sick recently, but I've still checked all 4 of our temperatures a couple times just to play around. The reading remained consistent with each family member even when repeated multiple times. I also really appreciated that we didn't need to purchase applicator tips like other ear thermometers I've used in the past. I really like that we can each make our own personalized profile on the app and choose which profile to add each reading too. The app and thermometer are both very user friendly and easy to navigate. I will be recommending this thermometer to all my mom friends! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this ear thermometer!”
“This is by far the best thermometer I have used. It takes the temps of my 2yr old and 4yr old SO quickly, they don't have time to be annoyed at me! I've compared the temps in this thermometer to the one used at my pediatrician's office, and it was exactly the same. Seeing that made me feel so confident in the ability to detect any fevers.
The app is an amazing resource, with lots of tips for caring for a sick child, as well as showing what illnesses are going around in your area. Honestly, the app is what made this thermometer so amazing. I will never go back to my old thermometer!
I received this ear thermometer from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, however, all opinions are my own!”
“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!”
“Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this ear thermometer. I really like how this thermometer gives a fast reading for squirmy kids, has a soft comfortable tip, no filters needed, lights up for convenience, and has an app to log temperatures. However, this thermometer is NOT accurate by almost a degree compared to another thermometer I own, known for its accuracy. I took my temperature at rest with the kinsa and got 97.9 when my other thermometer read 98.5. My 3.5 year old son likes that it's blue and easy for him to hold though. The app is easy to download and set up profiles and I like that you can also input symptoms, medications and other information. I also like that you immediately get an app notification with your temperature reading to easily link to a profile. Overall, I liked this thermometer but dislike how inaccurate it is. As a nurse, temperature accuracy is a must for me so I'll stick to my old thermometer.”
“We have used our fair share of thermometers and as far as basic functionality, the Kinsa Smart Ear thermometer does the job but that alone doesn't make it stand out. It was quick and easy to take a temperature, and comfortable in the ear for both us (parents) and our toddler. The temperature reads were precise and consistent making it a reliable thermometer. What really makes it stand out is the connectivity with your smart phone and the tracking features within the app. When Stellar Product Testing Panel asked us to test this thermometer, the connectivity to an app made me really excited, but I was even more impressed with the app than I had expected. The app was easy to install and quick and easy to sign up for an account. First, I got to make profiles for each family member with their age and gender (and a little icon to serve as their picture, they did a good job with cute little icons, getting the unicorn made our toddler very excited!). Every time you take a temperature using the thermometer it is tracked with a date and time. You can also record symptoms, any diagnosis, and medications given/taken. These features are so helpful. When your child is really sick it can get confusing and even dangerous if you don't take good notes on the temperature readings and most importantly the times when medication was given. The Kinsa made it really easy to record these things, even in the middle of the night on low sleep, it's a few simple taps. This functionality is my favorite feature, when my little girl is ill and I am running on empty I am very paranoid that I didn't record the times medication was administered, and that can be so dangerous. Being able to track it here put my mind at ease. You can also write notes and set reminders. All of these features are also very nice for doctors visits, you have a clear record of all temperatures, etc. which helps doctors appointments go more smoothly. There is nothing over complicated in the app, it is very straight forward, which I appreciate. I highly recommend the Kinsa Smart Ear thermometer, it is easy to use, reliable, and makes tracking temperatures and meds very easy.”
