Express analysis of the characteristics and main differences of the TOP 5
The Prozone HT-10 Mini contactless thermometer with the Japanese infrared sensor KT-4, presented on the market of medical equipment of the country, is an effective device for fast and accurate measurement of body temperature. The model is "sharpened" to measure the temperature of the forehead skin, where the readings taken most accurately correspond to the capabilities of the built-in sensor. The duration of the measurement is only 1 second, and the end of the procedure is accompanied by an audible signal. The stated measurement error of 0.1 degrees can generally be considered an excellent indicator, which not every "contactless" can boast of.
The model received a practical design with a short handle and a round head with a built-in rectangular monochrome display, which has a backlight, so that the displayed measurement values are clearly visible even in the dark. On the upper plane of the handle there is a single control button, which activates the activation of the device. The sensor allows you to record the temperature in the range from 16 °C to 40 °C, which causes some confusion in the context of measuring the temperature of the human body. In addition, the device does not have the function of recording readings in memory. The device is powered by 2 AAA batteries, which are included with the thermometer. To ensure that the batteries are not discharged during inactivity, the device automatically turns off some time after the end of measurements.
Professional medical thermometer B.Well WF-4000 is designed to measure the temperature of the human body, liquids, ambient air and objects in the room. The universal capabilities of the device, excellent build quality, the use of safe materials that do not contain glass and mercury, as well as the low price make the thermometer an excellent tool for temperature control at home. Operation in the modes of non–contact measurement of body temperature in the forehead (32 – 42 °C) and measurement of the temperature of surrounding objects (0 – 110 °C) is carried out using a built-in infrared sensor. To obtain accurate temperature measurement results, the error of which is 0.2 °C, the bell of the device with the sensor window should be positioned at a distance of 5-8 cm from the middle of the forehead or from the measuring object.
The model has a classic "pistol" design with a handle and a measurement start button for the index finger. The device is equipped with a large display with night illumination, a slider switch of operating modes and control buttons on the side of the case. The recorded temperature, depending on the selected settings, can be displayed in degrees on the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale. In the handle of the device there is a battery compartment for 2 AA batteries, the state of charge of which can be monitored on the display. In standby mode, when no button is pressed, the thermometer stays for less than 10 seconds, after which it automatically turns off to save battery power. The device has a memory for 32 measurements and is equipped with a built-in speaker that notifies an audible signal about an elevated temperature. The device is equipped with batteries, a bag-case for storage and transportation, an instruction manual and a warranty card.
The "smart" contactless thermometer Xiaomi iHealth Thermometer of the popular Chinese manufacturer of smartphones and household appliances stands out for its elegant modern design, reliable readings and measurement comfort. The device is designed exclusively for measuring body temperature in the central area of the forehead from a distance of 0 to 3 cm. Note that measurements in another area of the forehead or temporal zone give distorted data about the actual temperature. The model is made in the format of a remote control with an enlarged volume head, in which there is a distance sensor that monitors the conditions for taking readings, and a high-quality infrared thermal sensor from the German company Heimann, which collects data at a speed of 100 measurements per second. With a temperature range from 35 °C to 42 °C, the measurement error is 0.2 °C, and beyond this limit it increases to 0.3 °C. Unfortunately, the developer did not consider it necessary to provide the device with a memory block for the measurements performed.
There is a single control button on the flat front surface, which is set to start the measurement by default. It is slightly recessed in relation to the facade panel, which helps to eliminate accidental pressing. The end of the measurement is accompanied by the same vibration response as in a smartphone. This is much more convenient than a beep, because this way you don't have to worry about waking up a sleeping child. Unlike the traditional display of other brands, in this thermometer, the reading figures glow brightly just against the background of the front panel, as it is implemented in many Xiaomi scales. 2 AAA batteries, which are included in the package, should be installed in the battery compartment. According to the manufacturer, a set of alkaline batteries is enough for 3K measurements, which is enough for several years of real operation. The service life of the thermometer is designed for 5 years, but its actual life is not limited to a specific time. If you need a practical home thermometer to measure body temperature, then this is a good and accurate model for its price.

The Medica-Plus Termo Control 7.0 infrared thermometer is the flagship of the Medica-Plus line of contactless temperature metres that provide users with a wide range of features. In addition to the standard measurement of frontal temperature, the device can operate in the mode of measuring the temperature in the auricle, as well as remotely record the temperature of any objects in the room, including liquids and food. The device is made in a convenient form factor, resembling a remote control with a display, and fits well in the hand. On the back of the case there is a bell with a reading sensor that covers the ear tip with a special cap. The facade of the housing is equipped with a temperature measurement on-off button, which also allows you to set up a sound signal to accompany the measurement or turn it off altogether. In addition, there is also a second button for selecting the operating mode and viewing previous measurements recorded in 40 memory cells.
The model performs measurements of body temperature in the range of 32 – 42.9 °C and ambient temperature in the range of 0 – 100 °C with an average error of 0.2 °C. Measurements are performed almost instantly in 1 second with real body temperature values as close as possible to the readings of a mercury thermometer. The manufacturer should be praised for the informative display, which changes colour depending on the operation status and temperature value: blue — standby mode, green — 32 – 37.5 °C, orange — 37.6 – 38 °C and red — 38.1 – 42.9 °C. When the temperature is within the red zone, a warning sound about fever (extreme heat) is heard. The bottom of the back of the thermometer case is occupied by a battery compartment with 2 AAA batteries included in the package. A slider switch located above the battery pack allows you to quickly change the temperature measurement units from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius (F/C). The manufacturer provided a 2-year warranty for the thermometer, and also provided the device with a soft shipping case.
Practical, simple and easy-to-use non-contact thermometer BabyOno 790 refers to professional medical devices with an estimated service life of 100K measurements.
