Which Thermometer To Buy?





My faithful Braun Thermometer has served my family well for the past 6 years plus (as old as my first born). I had googled for the best thermometer then and chanced upon Braun. I also recall my boy's pediatrician using the same brand.  I went to check out the baby stores, pharmacists,  the $100++  retailing price in Singapore made me hesitate to spend this much on a product I have never used before. For one, I have always been a laggard in product adoption, with some rare exceptions when discounts, sales "bought" me over. :p This led me to Amazon and I was thrilled to find the same model on Amazon! If my memory serves me well, the price on Amazon was only a third of what is retailing.  Since then, I would always share with new mums to be, family or friends to check out Amazon for Braun thermometer if they want one that is reliable and more affordable.

Braun is easy to use and provide accurate readings as well - even my 60 year old mum loves it and chided me recently for not speeding up to get the replacement!

Unlike the past, I am now bogged by a full time job, and my 3rd boy just turned one. Finding a time to shop at ease is very rare and after having that chance and still see the thermometer selling at over $150 to nearly $200 is really upsetting. Looks like online shopping is still the best and I am glad, the past experiences with Amazon has been good and I am not worried about buying a new thermometer from there.

Now, technology has evolved and I am faced with a new headache - we consumers are just too spoilt for choice! And which is a pain for my lazy brain for shopping. :S I thought it will be a quick decision on getting the same  ear thermometer but can't help feasting my eyes on "new models" and "new designs".

"No Touch". These words sprang out to me, reminding me of the days or nights, fumbling to fit the thermometer properly, or worse, fighting with a grouchy and crying baby who refused to have anything touching them!  Aww, let me work my brain a little, which one should I get?
