This forehead thermometer is less intrusive than our regular one which requires it to be inserted into the ear and which also requires the purchase of disposable plastic caps.
Less intrusion is good especially if your child has an ear infection and I speak from experience.
Initial testing reveals that it is accurate but I have been plagued by a fair number of ERROR messages on the display before being able to get it going. Secondly, while less intrusive it takes longer to get a reading because it has to be swiped from above the brow to the temple and back again. Once it has a reading it bleeps taking around 3 seconds.
The area around the sensor that touches the skin is soft and feels warm.
The display is large and colour coded so that you can easily see if your child has a temperature or not.
The only running costs for the device are 2x AAA batteries so there is no need for the purchase of disposable caps, a pair of Maxwell...

Had a play with this and there are a few things that immediately press then 'LIKE' button for me.
Firstly, the way it works. Single button operation; pass diagonally across the forehead of the sick child (or adult) and you get a clear result. The backlight indicates temperature range as well as the digital readout. Green, yellow and red for the reading and whether it should be of concern. No sticking probes into ears (or worse) so hopefully no screams of terror as cold alien objects get inserted into orifices of an already scared kiddy.
Secondly it isn't rechargeable. The device works using two AAA batteries (supplied). Having a rechargeable power supply could mean it's as much use as a chocolate teapot if it's gone flat in a drawer between uses. Conventional batteries will retain at least some usable charge for much longer.
Third is that it's easily added to your home arsenal of usable gadgets. No changing of probes or tips. It's well put together...
