Founded in Japan in 1933, Omron Group has mastered the core technology of sensing and control, and is also a leading brand of home health monitoring equipment, including blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, oxygen concentrators, massagers, and thermometers. Omron's total sales in 2017 amounted to 860 billion yen, of which 13% was in the healthcare business. Omron has always been selling with stable quality, emphasizing functionality and product design.
 
Omron thermometer products are easy to operate, with no more than 3 buttons, and the instructions are clearly stated, making it easy for consumers of different ages to get started. Compared to Braun's modest appearance, Omron thermometers are available in different sizes and with slightly different housing colors. However, in terms of function, some of Omron's older thermometers may not have a fever warning function.
 
The number of models of Omron forehead thermometers is higher than that of ear thermometers, which is basically due to the iteration of size and function. The Omron forehead thermometer has changed the traditional "pistol-style" design, reducing the volume of the probe, making the product look lighter, and the general price is about 200 yuan. In order to improve accuracy, the forehead thermometer needs to keep the probe and forehead surface perpendicular and stationary when receiving the infrared rays of the measured object.
 
The forehead thermometer MC-872K has been authorized by Hello Kitty, adding a bit of childlike fun. In silent mode, the baby is asleep and is not afraid of being woken up. Up to 25 sets of memories can be used to grasp the baby's body temperature change curve, which is more valuable than the actual body temperature of a single node. However, this product uses a button battery, and it is more troublesome to use a screwdriver to replace the battery.
 
Omron's ear thermometers are not updated as frequently as their own forehead thermometer products, and they do not have Braun probe preheating technology and positioning functions, but they offer more options than Braun in terms of the size of ear thermometers. Attention should be paid to the measurement of ear thermometer, children under 3 years old need to pull down the auricle before measurement, and over 3 years old should lift it back and outward to make the ear canal straight, and then put the probe into the external ear canal for tympanic membrane temperature measurement.
 
The whole line of ear thermometers has the design of disposable earmuffs, and the texture of the earmuffs is soft and elastic. In addition to the regular version, a palm-sized mini version is also available. Compared with the Chinese version, the Japanese version of the ear thermometer has one more custom Hello Kitty printed MC-581, which is very pleasing, and the function is the same as that of the Chinese version of the ear thermometerMC-510, but the small size will inevitably limit the screen size, which will cause some trouble to watch the temperature measurement value at night. The pricing of the ear thermometer also fluctuates in the range of 200 yuan, which is cheaper than Braun, but the user-friendly design is slightly lacking.
 
Omron thermometers have a high degree of popularity, sales channels are all over the Internet and physical counters, and online pharmacies often have promotions, so it is recommended to pay more attention to their sales information.
