Now you can get a reading in a couple of seconds! So we researched and reviewed a number of new and bestselling temporal thermometers to put together our forehead thermometer review. Before jumping down to the reviews, check out the list of features below to keep track of when looking at temporal thermometers!

Units: All of the thermometers in our reviews can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit units with a little button-pushing.
