Body Scales & Thermometers

Place the scale on a hard, flat floor, since rugs and uneven tiles can affect the reading. Weigh yourself at the same time of day, ideally in the morning before breakfast and in similar clothing. Stand still with your weight evenly spread, and keep the scale in the same spot instead of moving it between rooms.

Follow the manual for your model. In general, make sure the probe is clean and fitted with a new lens filter if the thermometer uses them, gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal, insert the probe snugly and press the button. Take readings in the same ear for comparison, and speak to a doctor if a fever worries you.

Ear thermometers are widely used for the whole family, including children, because a reading takes only a few seconds. Check the age range the manufacturer specifies for your model, and follow its instructions for young children carefully. If your child seems unwell or has a high or lasting fever, contact a doctor for advice.

This collection includes digital body scales from Sonifer and Soehnle, and a digital ear thermometer from Braun. Together they cover everyday health checks at home, from tracking your weight over time to checking a temperature when someone feels unwell. Compare display size, platform size and battery type to choose the right scale for your household.
