1 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['This Allyn 01690-200 listing sits at the very top of the price range at about 395 dollars. That figure places it well beyond ordinary home thermometers and points toward a clinical or institutional buyer.', 'The published details are minimal. It uses an LCD display and runs on battery power, but the measurement method and any accuracy claims are not provided, so we leave those out rather than guess.', 'The biggest limit is the feedback. A 5.0 rating from a single review tells us almost nothing about real world reliability. The price and brand positioning are the only firm signals, and both lean professional rather than consumer.']

Performance notes
The available specs are limited to an LCD display and battery power. The maker does not publish a measurement type or accuracy figure on this listing, so we cannot describe how it reads temperature or how close it claims to be. The premium price suggests a clinical style build, though the listing does not confirm details.
What buyers say
With a 5.0 rating from just one review, there is essentially no usable feedback. A single score cannot stand in for a track record, so the rating should carry no real weight in a buying decision.

Frequently asked questions
Should the 5.0 rating influence my decision?
Not on its own. The score comes from a single review, which is far too little to judge reliability. Treat it as effectively unrated until more feedback appears.
Why does this Allyn cost so much?
The roughly 395 dollar price points to a professional or clinical product rather than a home unit. The listing does not detail the build, so the premium sits in the brand and positioning.
Is it suitable for home use?
It can be used at home, but the price is far above what a simple temperature check requires. For guidance on medical monitoring, consult a healthcare professional.
