Braun Sensian 7 Non-contact Thermometer review

The Braun Sensian 7 is aimed at parents of young babies, because the meaning of a fever changes with age. Braun's Age Precision button lets you pick 0 to 3 months, 3 to 36 months or 36 months to adult, and the display then glows green, yellow or red to put the number in context. It reads in under 2 seconds, either touching the skin or from up to 1 inch away, and Braun says it gives clinically accurate readings without waking a sleeping child. The same device measures food and bath water, which helps at bath time and with bottles. At $33.49 on Braun's US page it costs less than the Sensian 5, though it drops that model's LED positioning guide. Braun's page does not give a memory count, and the 1 inch no-touch range is shorter than the iProven NCT-978's stated 2 inches, so readers who want a log should compare the Beurer FT90.
