The product looks friendly enough. It's a nice solid moulded piece of glossy plastic with a durable protective cap. The display is nice and large. Very readable. The fact there are only 2 buttons that do everything from changing settings and turning off the device mean that some functions and modes that a while to learn and the unit requires you to hold a button for over 5 seconds to turn off. Taking measurements is super easy. You simply hover the head of the device towards the item you want measured. I placed it close to my forehead and it beeped and displayed my measurement instantly. I'm sure you can do the same across a variety of things. Baby's milk temperature for instance is something the manual describes can be measured. Along with surfaces that I imagine have an even temperature throughout. Once turned off the unit functions as an ambient temperature sensor. This isn't something you can turn off without removing the batteries and should only use less battery than a digital LCD clock (my LCD clock with temperature lasts about 8 years+ on a new battery). Making it useful to just have around. From what I've worked out everything claimed in the description is ture, and seems to live up the statements made. I Would buy another Omron product again and would highly recommended this thermometers.

We bought this thermometer is because an advice from a nurse in hospital when I just give birth my baby. They said this is the most fast and accurate thermometer to check our baby's temperature. The price is very expensive, but this is very accurate and used friendly!
