“Clinically validated, fast and accurate digital thermometer”

8.1

Loved It

The Braun High Speed Digital Thermometer PRT1000 earns strong praise from UK parents for its speed, accuracy, and comfort. Many appreciate the flexible tip and multi-site functionality for oral, underarm, and rectal use. While a few find the reading alert too loud, especially for night-time use, most consider it a reliable, high-quality thermometer that makes temperature tracking easy. It seems best suited for families with young children who need frequent temperature checks.

What parents love

Speed and accuracyParents highlight the thermometer's ability to provide temperature readings in as little as 10 seconds, with consistent accuracy across multiple measurements.
Comfort and safetyThe flexible tip and ergonomic design are praised for making temperature taking comfortable, especially for young children.
Multi-site functionalityParents appreciate the versatility of being able to use the thermometer orally, under the arm, or rectally to get reliable readings.

Worth knowing

Loud reading alertSome parents find the thermometer's beeping sound when a reading is complete to be too loud, especially when trying to check a sleeping child's temperature.
Limited memoryThe thermometer only stores the last reading, which a few parents say could be improved to track temperature trends.
Slower than some alternativesWhile the 10-second readings are fast, a couple of parents note that forehead or in-ear thermometers can be even quicker.

Best for

  • Families with young children who need frequent temperature checks
  • Parents looking for a versatile, accurate digital thermometer

May not suit

  • Parents who need a completely silent thermometer for night-time use
  • Those who want to track temperature history beyond the last reading

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the thermometer's multi-site functionality to get the most accurate readings, especially for young infants.

Safety Note

Take extra care when using the rectal mode, as recommended only for children under 3 years old.

Shopping Tip

Consider a forehead or in-ear thermometer if you need an even quicker reading, especially for night-time use.
