Author's Note: The original review can be found at my blog - Xiaomi iHealth Thermometer Review @ JayceOoi.com.

See the comparison between the cheaper Xiaomi MiJia iHealth Thermometer and 3X more expensive Terumo EM-30CPLB Ear Thermometer. Which is better?

accordingly to pharmacy, the infrared less accurate as skin temperature may vary in case certain part of skins are much hotter or cooler...
Yes of cos the price of infrared are much cheaper than in-ear, and in-ear required replacement parts as hygiene purposes.

My wife is a nurse and she said the most accurate reading is in the ear, especially for children.

Just bought this last week, but not sure if the readings are accurate or not. Been testing it non stop and i keep getting readings from 39 - 42, but i am not feeling feverish. Is mine faulty, or there's some form of calibration needs to be done first?
