Braun ThermoScan Thermometer LF40US01 Disposable Reviews Summary

Price

Pros:

• "Good cost compared to the stores."
• "Great price for these replacement disposable covers."
• "These are exactly like the pharmacy but half the price."
• "Ordering on Amazon always makes it worth the quick delivery and it is well priced."
• "Love the price on amazon. It is half the cost of what you pay at retail."
• "I got 80 filters for a very reasonable price."
• "Good value. Much cheaper than retail store prices."

Cons:

• "Why are these things so damn expensive anyway?"
• "As with other reviewers, I always grimace when it's time to buy new lens filters for our Braun thermometer -- they're so ridiculously expensive at brick-and-mortar stores."
• "Couldn't find them locally until I did, and the cost was exorbitant."
• "I feel they are kinda pricey, especially since they are meant for single use."
• "Although pricy, these filters are designed for the Braun Ear Thermometer and work perfectly."
• "Only complaint is that they seem a little expensive and unnecessary."
• "Quite expensive for what you get but they are name brand so that's something."

Fit and Compatibility

Pros:

• "Needed more lens sleeves for the Braun ear thermometer that I’ve had for well over fifteen years. The sleeves fit perfectly and are comfortable in the ear."
• "Works great to keep the thermoscan sanitary. The little boxes tuck perfectly into the case of the thermoscan for storage and they easily pop on and off of the thermoscan."
• "These filters/covers are exactly as described & fit our THermoscan perfectly!"
• "Fit perfectly, work wonderfully, my six year old autistic son who is very sensitive never complains."
• "It fits my older model well."
• "These disposable clear plastic covers go on the ear probe of the Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer. They are a perfect fit."
• "They fit the Braun ThermoScan like a glove and do not interfere with accurate body temperature readings."

Cons:

• "This doesn't fit IRT 4520. it's even listed on the box, but Braun changed the shape and it no longer pushes down the indicator button."
• "It seems to fit but it doesn't really activate the Thermoscan."
• "These do not fit my Braun thermometer and I cannot return them!"
• "When our original covers ran out, we switched to these covers, which claim they are genuine to the model. However, from first use, our thermometer no longer reads correctly."
• "Ordered Braun LF 20 lens covers for Braun ThermoScan IRT Thermometer from Prime Medical Store. Received Braun PC 20 probe covers for Braun ThermoScan Pro series Thermometers... So I believe I was sent the wrong item and Prime Medical Store will do nothing to rectify this issue."
• "The base of these, the ring, does not press firmly enough against the lens filter sensor pin on the unit."
• "They won't stay on the tip, so its frustrating."

Quality and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "I like the filters because I don't have to clean the thermometer with every use."
• "I love the fact that this thermometer sends all readings to my phone and it’s very easy to use."
• "No need to worry about swapping germs or cleaning your thermometer with these filters."
• "These are just like the originals that came with my Braun thermometer."
• "So much easier than rectal and accurately reads temp."
• "It is very simple to use, simply power on, and scan. Within 4 seconds you have your results."
• "These attach easily and are comfortable to use in the ear."

Cons:

• "Beware parents! This product is great but I'm not going to use this item due to the packaging."
• "Since this is for personal use with direct contact to my child’s skin and ear loop - I had to trash the item since they were visibly opened."
• "I got this while I was sick and trying to get quick readings. But what I found out it is highly inaccurate! It reads 2 degrees less than it should be and it is giving people false hope thinking they are fever free."
• "I thought that this would be a fast, easy-to-use, and accurate thermometer. It is fast, but each time I use it, it gives me a different reading."
• "The only thing is it gets stuck on Celsius instead of Fahrenheit which makes it difficult when trying to find out your baby's temperature and it is hard to change back."
• "However it’s not accurate at all."
• "I can rarely get it to get a temperature on my infant."

Packaging and Delivery

Pros:

• "Good! The package is good and the shipping was fast."
• "Packaged well and arrived on time as usual."
• "The packaging is perfect for storing the sleeves in the thermometer casing."
• "Arrived quickly, packed neatly and ready to use."
• "The packaging is setup so the thermometer can easily click onto one of the filters without you needing to touch them."

Cons:

• "It didn't come in the packaging it is pictured, but you get the same amount of filters for much cheaper than your local pharmacy."
• "I just received them and its not Braun for sure- again poor packaging and no hygiene maintained."
• "Was disappointed when I saw how the filters came. It is not in the packaging that is shown."
• "I ordered 200pcs of these covers, packages arrived fallen apart."
• "I received two boxes of covers. They were not in packaging as advertised."
