The ThermoWorks WAND Mini is a non-contact forehead thermometer that reads a temperature in about one second with a single button press. It is FDA-cleared and rated to ±0.4°F in the human fever range, and a high-temperature alert flags readings that cross into fever territory. Its main draw is size: it is small enough for a purse, diaper bag or first aid kit, which makes it a travel and on-the-go alternative to bulkier clinical thermometers. Owners call it fast, accurate and easy to use, especially for kids, though some note the screen has no backlight and the controls are not obvious at first.

Buyers describe the WAND Mini as fast, accurate and simple, and many compare it favorably against other thermometers. Parents especially like that it reads without waking a child. The most common complaints are the unlit screen and a learning curve on first use.
The WAND Mini is a non-contact forehead thermometer that detects a fever in one second without touching the skin. It uses the same infrared technology found in larger clinical thermometers. It is FDA Cleared as a Class II clinical device.
To use it, aim at the forehead and press the single button once. There are no modes, menus or setup. A built-in high-temperature alert flags readings in the fever range, and built-in memory saves the last reading.
The design is ultra-compact, so it fits in a purse, carry-on, diaper bag or first aid kit. It runs on a coin-cell battery.
