iHealth No-Touch Forehead Thermometer — Best No-Touch Budget — 3-Sensor Averaging
The iHealth PT3 uses 3 infrared sensors simultaneously and averages the readings — a design that reduces the measurement error caused by minor positioning variations that plague single-sensor no-touch devices. At under $30, it's the most accurate budget no-touch thermometer we tested. Memory stores 20 readings and the mute mode works for sleeping children.
