What is the accuracy of this unit? null

just buy a regular Thermometer. I didn't like the accuracy of this one. You will get different results everytime you use it.

This thermometer is not accurate at all

Anecdotally, it is very accurate. I compared this to a Welch Allyn thermometer system and it is spot on. There are some things that influence accuracy like if the forehead is covered or if the person is sweating. If purchasing medical equipment, look for a FDA approved device. It does make a difference and means it should be more accurate.

A couple degrees off but pretty close.

It is not accurate. In the least. You can take a temperature 5 times in a row and get 5 different answers. Of course it tells you to wait a certain amount of time before each one, but it still gives anything varying from 82° (I think I'd be dead) to 99° and a range of everything and anything in between. DON'T BUY IT

Hello Richard, The Care thermometer readings are pretty accurate. The key to obtaining accurate readings is a clean sensor. To clean the sensor, use a cotton swab slightly moistened with alcohol to gently wipe its surface, and then immediately wipe dry using a clean cotton swab. Wait at least 20 minutes to make sure that the sensor is completely dry before taking the temperature. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to our support via email or live chat. Our support contacts can be found on the box or in the user's guide. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Kind regards, Crystal & the Motorola Support Team.
