iProven DMT-77B Ear Thermometer with Non-Touch Forehead Function, Pro Series

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.2 / 5

A capable two-in-one thermometer that covers most of a family's fever-checking needs without recurring probe-cover costs. It sits at the upper end of the price range for a household thermometer, so it suits those who want both modes rather than a single-purpose device.

Best for
Families who want one thermometer that covers both ear and forehead readings, with a silent mode for checking a sleeping child.
Skip it if
You just want the cheapest single-mode forehead thermometer for one child

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • Ear and forehead modes in one unit, useful as children grow
  • Silent vibration alert for checking a sleeping baby without waking them
  • No disposable probe covers to keep buying

Worth knowing

  • Ear mode is only manufacturer-rated from 6 months, and the forehead mode's 'all ages' claim is marketing copy — the manufacturer publishes no lower age bound for it
  • No probe covers means the ear tip needs regular cleaning between family members for hygiene

ⓘ As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links. When two products are close, commission can decide which one we pick. A clearly better product always wins. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy if you just want the cheapest single-mode forehead thermometer for one child — dedicated no-touch forehead thermometers do that job for roughly half the price.
