A one-second reading without touching a sleeping child is worth the premium over a Rs149 stick thermometer, and plus or minus 0.2 degrees C is genuinely tight for infrared.
Full details →Who the Vissco Functional Hinged Knee Support with Adjustable Range of Motion is for
Buy it if: Anyone with ligament instability or recovering from a knee injury who needs lateral support.
Avoid it if: Anyone with simple arthritic ache -- a plain elastic knee cap costs a third as much and does the same thing.
Who the Omron MC-720 Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer is for
Buy it if: Parents of small children, and anyone needing a reading without waking the patient.
Avoid it if: Anyone who will not wait for the subject to acclimatise indoors -- readings will mislead.
