This Hylogy thermometer is brilliant. Firstly and most importantly it works well and secondly it’s packed with useful features. It uses 2 x AAA batteries, which are supplied and fit into the back of the thermometer and it also comes with a little drawstring suedette pouch to store it in.

​

The thermometer uses non-contact infrared technology to take the temperature reading, which is perfect for babies and young children; it’s super quick and takes the reading in about 1 seconds. One major benefit of this thermometer is because it is non-contact, you don’t have to try to put it in the ear or mouth of a wriggling child. Just turn it on and hold it in front of the forehead 3-5cm away, then press the power button again and the temperature is displayed in the large back lit LED screen in just over a second. A big plus for me is that the readings are consistent, I tried it 5 times on my forehead and got the exact same reading each time; other ones I’ve tried vary each time. To make sure it was working and not just stuck on the same temperature I tried it on my armpit and it showed a totally different reading; it also demonstrated another great feature. A body temperature between 34-37.3ºC has a green backlight, a temperature reading between 37.4-38 ºC and the backlight turns amber, whilst a temperature of 38.1-42.9ºC turns the backlight red and the thermometer beeps like crazy. I think this added feature is great, especially if you’re not sure on what a normal/safe temperature should be and it does work, when I tried it on my armpit the screen instantly turned red and it started beeping.

​

You have a choice of having the temperate in celsius or Fahrenheit. The thermometer is RoHS & CE certified and the reading accurate to + or – 0.2ºC, which is pretty impressive. If you are monitoring a temperature, you can save it into the memory and it will store up 50 readings. In addition to reading body temperatures, you can also use it to take surface temperature readings too, whether it’s food or bath water. I can highly recommend this thermometer, it’s well made, accurate and has lots of really useful features and of course it comes with Aukey’s 24 month warranty.
