Exergen Temporal Scanner Review & Giveaway!
Ughh.. have you ever had to try and use a rectal thermometer on your infant? If not, I don't suggest trying it, its really not fun, not easy and not convenient in any way. What about those ear thermometers? I thought they would be awesome, but how much does a small child squirm when you put it in their ear?
When I was able to review the Exergen Temporal Scanner thermometer, I was thrilled! With a 7 month old and a 4 year old, and me being neurotic as I am, I do a lot of temperature taking. Its just so difficult to get anyone to sit still even for the time it takes to use the ear one. The Exergen Temporal Scanner is different, its an infared thermometer that takes the temperature from a temporal artery scan. Can you imagine, this thing takes over 1,000 readings per second and is super accurate!
With perks like being able to get away from yucky rectal temperature taking, and keeping the kid from squirming when attempting an ear thermometer, the Exergen Temporal Scanner has high marks in my book. Its so easy, its just a stroke of the scanner across the forehead and its done. Just to prove to myself how easy it was, I let Boug take my temperature, she's 4 guys! A 4 year old can use this!! Its accurate, easy and convenient!! I'm a convenience queen so that is a huge plus!!!
I'm not one to attempt to wake a sleeping baby, but I figured I try to use this while Lil' Buddy was asleep, to see JUST how gentle it really is to a little baby... The boy didn't even flinch, didn't bat an eye, didn't stir and most definitely didn't wake! I'm loving that I can use the Exergen Temporal Scanner to check up on his temperature even after he's fallen asleep!!
Want to know where you can purchase your Exergen Temporal Scanner? Its available at Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Walgreens, Costco, Wal-Mart and more!! You can even order online!!

The biggest perk is the fastness of it. The better the kids will feel not getting held down to take their temps.

The biggest perk? Not having to go into uncharted territory!
I follow on twitter and tweeted. http://twitter.com/susanlanai/status/1399627720
It's easy to use.
my son can never do it under the tongue
I think the biggest perk is to not have to distress an already upset baby. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love how quick these work and how accurate they are and most of all not taking temperature by rectal.
Thanks so much and please enter me.
I'm a retired nurse but the temporl scanner is so much easier to use and the accuracies make life easier with children. Actually its great to keep check on anyone and not have to disturb them when taking their temperature. I have always wanted one!

it's easy to use, easy to read!
Thanks for the giveaway!
The biggest perk is not having to take the temperature in the mouth! Kids are often skeptical to do that.
heatheranne99@hotmail.com
The biggest perk is not having to struggle with your child to get a temp! No more under the tongue or armpit.
The biggest perk to me would be being able to give a gift to my granddaughter that would make her more comfortable in taking her baby's temperature when it was necessary.
clynsg at yahoo.com
No fighting sick kids trying to get an accurate temp.
like that its a kinder gentler more exact thermometer mverno@roadunner.com
The biggest perk for me would be that I can use it on my son's forehead. He hates to have one put in his ear and can't keep one in his mouth without biting on it. Thanks for the contest.
susan dot lockhart at gmail dot com
my thermometer broke and it's rather embarrassing to walk into the doc's office with a sick kid and not be able to tell them what temp they've been running...
So fast and easy to use!
frogz60@hotmail.com
The biggest perk. I have found when you take a temp in the rump usually you get a gift in return. Also I like the quickness.
I love this product
Biggest perk: just a quick swipe on the forehead and the temperature is read. This would be so handy to have around when you have a very squirmy little one who refuses to sit still even when they are sick.
cweller75@gmail.com
Such a great product.
The biggest perk for me would be not having to wake up my son to check his temperature. Thanks for the giveaway!
I like that it is fast. My son can be very impatient when he's sick so speediness is great. Thanks for the chance.
sweetascandy579 at yahoo dot com
The biggest perk is its so fast and non intrusive
I love that these are so quick and easy to use without upsetting sick children.
Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net
I like that you can sneak in and take the child's temp without waking them up. Getting a sick child to sleep is a blessing! No need to wake them up!

I like how fast it reads your temp.
this is a great tool to have around the house!
biggest perkin no more rectal temos - please please says my little boy!

I think its great being able to take a child's temperature almost without the child knowing
quick and convenient

The biggest perk for me would be that I could get an adequate temperature reading for the baby without aggravating him.
msurosey@yahoo.com
the biggest perk is that it is non invasive. That makes it SO much easier to get an accurate reading from a fussy sick baby or toddler.
The biggest perks are that it is just so fast and easy! My three year old grandson is autistic - this would make taking his temperature possible!
The biggest perk of this thermometer is that I have a baby and it would make taking her temperature a breeze.
biggest perk-its totally non-invasive!
The biggest perk? No drama from the little one. Everyone ends up happy!
the biggest perk?? no dealing with squirming kids trying to get away from the stick ones!

I think the biggest perk is not having to struggle to read the results of using a regular thermometer. I turn it this way, and that way, and STILL have a problem seeing what the temperature IS! This looks SO EASY! Now WHY didn't someone figure this out years ago when MY children were babies????
may041827@yahoo.com
I would love to win this for my niece who's expecting a baby in July.
HI,
I would like to take Gracie's temp without waking her up. That would be a favorite of mine. Thaks!
The biggest perk to me is that it actually acurate! We have an ear thermometer now, and it never shows the same temperature, not even close, to what it just showed 2 minutes ago!
ease of use
Have a great day.
biggest perk for me is even if there is perspiration, i can take a temperature on the back of the neck and still get an accurate reading. plus, it's super fast and easy to use. much better than the old way of taking temps.
thanks for the giveaway and have a lovely weekend.

FJones@buckeye-express.com
The simplicity! It's a struggle to take a kids temperature when they are sick.
THIS WOULD BE SO PERFECT FOR MY NEW GRANDBABY
I like that this is non-evasive. My "OpenID" is my contact email.
The biggest perk is that it's fast and easy to use. I also love that it's accurate as well and not invasive.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
Biggest perk is that you can get a reading quickly & without a fuss.

The biggest perk? No more butt temps! Thank you!
This Temporal scanner is awesome!! It is super fast, super accurate and the easiest thing I have even used for a sick, unhappy, squirming baby!!
Biggest Perk? Not having to use an ear thermometer on a child with an ear infection!

Wooo Hooo Make me a winner!
Biggest perk would definitely have to be how fast it is at reading your temp. Second biggest would be no holding under the tongue! Thanks for the contest!! :)

The Hospital used one of these on my daughter. They are amazing. Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
The biggest perk for my, aside from accuracy, is that I could take a temperature while my kids are asleep.

Biggest perk non invasive ~ non disturbing!

Biggest perk is to not have to have a squirmy four year old sit still and take their temp!
selinda_mccumbers@yahoo.com
I'd have to say by how quick it works, and the ease of use. Having a 13-month old, its not easy getting a temp on her.
Our grandchildren are passed the infant , you know where, themometer but my granddaughter hates anything stuck in her ear and ever try to take a mouth temp from a talkative 7 or 9 yr old? One swipe and a VERY accurate temp is heaven sent.

The biggest perk for me to have the Exergen Temporal Scanner is the ease of taking the temperature. I currently use an ear thermometer but it is not very accurate. I usually take the temperature three times and then average the readings since they can vary by a degree or more! The fact that this is non-invasive and accurate would make everyone's life in my house easier!
I like that it is more accurate than taking an ear temperature and you don't have to worry about jabbing it into a child's ear!
jessicabcote@gmail.com
well their so easy to use and you dont have to sit on a child while taking his temp, just kidding. and i dont feel comfortable doing the oral. thanks for the giveaway.
Wow! Do we live in a great time or what? This is the ultimate thermometer: no fuss, quick, and sanitary. I would like to win this!
OH wow- these are SO SUPER- best thing is you can get the reading so fast, you can do it on a crying, thrashing, screaming sick poor baby- no worries! LOVE these. I want it for a shower gift for a new DIL who is PG now. Jacklver@yahoo.com
Non invasive...quick. There are many good things about this.

Love that it's fast !!!
ktgonyea at gmail.com
1000 readings a second to get good accuracy
It's non-invasive -- you just swipe it against the skin.
My favorite part is that it is so quick and easy. Oh, and that it is far more accurate than my current method of hand against forehead.
For me the biggest perk is that you don't have to disturb the baby.
the biggest perk would be not holding down a wiggling kid!
Its quick and easy!

The ease and accurecy of the thermometer! I had a rough time last week trying to hold my two year old down to take his temp, I so could have used this!
I follow
The biggest perk is getting an accurate & easy temp.
Biggest perk is not having to threaten the kids to keep it in their mouths.

i love how fast and easy this seems.
The biggest perk is that it's so quick and easy to use it's wonderful when you have a fussy baby
:) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)
Biggest perk? It's not made of glass and filled with mercury like my "current" model!
I like that you can take your child's temperature while they are sleeping
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
My daughter runs to high fevers -- 104 to 105 --and we need to keep careful watch. This would make it SO much easier and less intrusive!
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
For me it's the fact that it is non-invasive and fast.
The biggest perk for me would be how easy it is to use and how fast it takes the temp. I have a two year old who HATES to have her temp taken and a newborn on the way. We all know that squirming newborns are terrible to take a temp.
The biggest perk for me would be to not have to fight with a-or better yet, wake a sleeping- baby to get a temp.

i think the biggest perk is that i know its accurate
The biggest perk to me is the speed! If the child is sick, she is going to get very impatient--no need to make her crankier.
supersweeper81 at gmail dot com
I can't choose the biggest perk there are so many. I like the accuracy. the speed. and the non-invasiveness of it.
The biggest perk would have to be the ease of use.
Quick, easy and patient- friendly. What more could we ask for?
quetzalcoatl463@yahoo.com

thanks! Brittney toomuchrock@gmail.com
The biggest perk is the fastness. It's great that a baby's temp can be taken even when sleeping. Thanks for the chance to win!
sueellison@hcecwildblue.com
The biggest perk for me is not having to force a squirmy toddler to let me keep a thermometer under his tongue long enough to get an accurate reading!! Or not being afraid that you are going to puncture (said squirmy toddler's) eardrum trying to use an ear thermometer.
I love that it's non invasive and only takes 15-20 seconds to take the temp
msboatgal at aol.com
Speed and accuracy! I've used these in my job at the hospital as a nurse and I'd love to have one for home! Thanks for the giveaway.
The biggest perk is being able to take my child temperature without waking them up.
I think the 1000 readings a second is very cool!

The biggest perk is no rectal insertion.
Biggest perk? Not intrusion! And nice and fast!
my son has special needs so getting him to put a regular thermometer in his mouth is so hard. I really think that this would help us out
souldolphindream@aol.com
thanks
The biggest perk - not having to chase your kid down while he is running around with a thermometer in his mouth waiting to get a reading.
For me, the biggest perk of the Exergen is the ability to take a sleeping child's temperature. I can't even imagine how much easier that would make sick days!
The biggest perk is not having to chase down a sick kiddo. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
The biggest perk is its accuracy.
madamerkf at aol dot com
Exergen's biggest perk is its ability to take a temp without waking the child. But accuracy is no small thing either.
with 8 kids a great thermometer is a huge perk! and I like how it's the most accurate way to take someone's temperature :)
The biggest perk of the Exergen for me is not having to insert the thermometer into any body parts and wondering whether my child is uncomfortable!

Swipe and read, can't get easier then that.

This scanner is awesome! You don't have to wake the kiddo to get the temp. Or sticking it somewhere like an alien probe.

I love that it's a totally external method of taking the temp.
It takes way too long to take the temperature under the arm. I need something very quick and painless. Thank you.
candieluster(at)gmail(dot)com
I love that you don't have to wake them up!
The biggest perk would be no longer having to do rectal temps. Believe me Brea is not a fan
The biggest perk is that it is fast. You can't hold down my children to take their temperature very long. They squirm and complain when I am taking it orally. This is just a quick swipe on the forehead. This would be a life saver.
