Our take on the Ankovo Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer

The Ankovo is a non-contact forehead thermometer that also switches to ear mode, so you can take a reading without waking a sleeping child. It shows results on an LCD and is aimed at home fever checks. It holds 3.8 out of 5 from 868 ratings, so most owners find it usable but a sizable minority report problems. No current store price was available to compare against its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is the Ankovo thermometer accurate?
Most owners get consistent forehead readings, but some report numbers that differ from an oral thermometer. Take two or three readings and compare with a known-good thermometer before relying on it for fever decisions.
How does forehead mode differ from ear mode?
Forehead mode reads infrared from the skin without contact, which suits sleeping children. Ear mode uses the probe tip inside the ear canal and can read closer to core temperature when placed correctly.
Does it need probe covers?
Forehead mode needs no covers. Ear mode works best with clean probe covers or a wiped tip, so check what ships in the box before first use.
Is it worth it over a basic digital thermometer?
It is worth it if you want fast, no-contact checks on children. If you only need one accurate adult reading, a cheap oral digital thermometer is simpler and less prone to placement errors.
When is the best time to buy it?
No current price was available to compare against its recent range. Watch the price history and buy when it sits near the low end rather than at a spike.
