I now have detailed temperature readings of everything in my house. Including the cats, the sunny bit on the wall and the draft coming under the door! It also works well for what it was intended for!
I bought this item to check my fridge and freezer were operating correctly, as well as to check the temperature of LED lights – a niche use. Apart from the very, very ‘plasticy’ smell, the item is great — but I’ve found myself walking around the house and measuring various areas, surfaces, and items.
As another reviewer stated, it’s quite addictive.
— Positive
– Calibration appears to be as stated (1C)
– Incredibly bright and clear display
– Auto-off feature
– Good range
– Sold construction (doesn’t feel cheap)
– Good packaging
— Negative
– Very ‘plasticy’ smell upon continued use
I would recommend this product, but be aware that you too may find it addictive!
I bought this primarily to measure temps while cooking, but I find I point it at everything. Really good. Easy to use and read.
We bought an Ooni pizza oven and knowing the temperature of the oven is vital. This one is great it provides really quick, really accurate readings and this one works to a suitably higher temperature. It also never gets boring randomly taking the temperature of everything around you.
Great device, I now know the temperature of EVERYTHING in the house. Quick and easy to use and well worth the money. I now know why my cakes are flat – the oven temperature is incorrect!
Seems reasonably accurate. They claim +/- 2 Celsius degrees with the specified emissivity, which is a wide latitude, I’m sure mine is a lot better than that but yours might not be! (All these infra-red thermometers are sensitive to the amount of radiated heat. A matt black item will radiate a lot more heat than a shiny one at the same temperature. So don’t expect an accurate temperature reading on all materials.) It’s really useful for balancing radiators, and for a quick check that the refrigerator is about right (use something like a potato; plastic or foil packaging will give the wrong answer.)
There are no instructions, but I think it’s pretty obvious how to use it.
Easy to understand and get kicked off. Great for checking temperature in reptile tanks, and probably loads of other things. Decent build quality for price. Would buy again!
Bought this after my snake hadn’t eaten for 5 weeks, I used help get the snakes food to a temperature of 37c. He then ate no problem.
I had purchased a clinical IR thermometer for my daughter ( arrival of grandson) obviously considerably more money than the Etekcity 1080. Understandably the under 15.00 (UK) price tag initially caused me concern. However, prior research on performance of the 1080 justified placing an order. Unit arrived promptly, well packaged, easy instructions and a nice touch was the email received assuring service and help if needed. The initial reason for purchase was to facilitate accurate balancing of my central heating, this task alone will more than pay for the unit. However, there are a myriad of uses around the home and my garage. E.G. using water at 80 degrees for coffee, nice.
A great little product that does exactly what I need it to do. Fantastic price and very simple to use. Would definitely recommend.
used to check temperatures on my laptop cpu and gpu.
precise giving an instant readout.
easy to use, point and click.
Takes the temperature really well, here is a list of things (off the top of my head) that I have taken the temperature of (so far)…
The walls
The fridge door
The fridge back
My coffee
Oil when deep frying
The conservatory floor
Windows
The floor in the garden
Grass
Clouds
The Sky
The roof
My head
My toes
Soup
Boiling water – exactly 100C
Fire
The carpet
The TV screen
The kids foreheads
A field
A barbecue
The battery is still going strong, brilliant piece of kit.
I purchased this to check the operation of the catalytic converter converter on my car. I had an engine management fault lamp indication and wanted to determine whether it was the catalytic converter which was faulty or one of the oxygen sensors either side. A 100 degC higher temp after the cat, indicates the cat is ok. If iflts the same, or lower, then the catalyst material is not working properly.
The only disappointing thing I found was the supplied battery was flat on arrival.
Really happy with the customer service and speed this was sent to us in. Bought this to replace a probe style thermometer, thought we would replace this was for hygiene reasons and I’m glad that we did.
This gadget has been really useful over the BBQ season and I would thoroughly recommend it!
I bought the digital thermometer to ensure my pizza oven is at the correct temp. Very easy to use device, measures in C & F and starts very quickly. No complaints from the order to delivery all went well and very happy with purchase, would recommend
Bought this to measure the temperature of our outdoor pizza oven. Just point the laser dot at the stone and the reading is shown instantly. We have found this useful for measuring the temperature of our fish tank. You do end up testing just about everything…! Good price for this. Battery included. Speedy delivery. 2 year guarantee. What’s not to like?
So far so good. My partner is using it at work (he works as a chef) and he is pleased with it. He compared it with other thermometer and it shows the same temperature. Great value for money, I can recommend that product 🙂
As good as others said.Point at item,temperature displayed.Simples!Easy to be,a geek,pointing at assorted things.Fridge,freezer,swimming pool,etc.
Only used it twice and it is working ok. Very pleased with it. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The item was well packaged and received a day earlier than expected. Would recommend.
It’s great fun and I’m still wandering round pointing it at random objects. My wife is getting sick of me pointing it at her (some bits are way hotter than others). I bought it for a bit of fun and it has certainly kept me entertained and will continue to do so.
Measuring fridge and freezer temps seems to give readings that are expected so it must be reasonably accurate. Bought when it was on offer and happy with my purchase.
Very good little gadget. I need to measure the temperature of water in our village hall showers system for Legionnaires monitoring. Without spending thousands you can only measure the temperature of pipe surfaces. But with a couple of tricks you can use this to find the water temp.
I’m measuring 22mm pipes. Stick masking tape to the pipes where you want to measure (as suggested in the instructions). I tested 4 or 5 different paints and materials and masking tape was best. Use about an inch square well stuck down. Test your IR thermometer from different distances and to check whether the laser spot is aligned with the position where it measures temp. On mine the measurement position is about 1cm below the laser spot, and about half a centimetre to the left when the gun is held between 10cm and 20cm away. Work out what yours is doing and aim it accordingly. You need to hold the gun no further than 20cm away for a 22mm pipe otherwise it’s measuring a cooler area round the pipe as well as the pipe itself, and the alignment matters at these relatively short distances.
This gives you an IR measurement of the surface temperature which is somewhat cooler than the water in the pipe. You can find out the correspondence between the IR surface temp and the water temp in the pipe e.g. by filling a piece of 22mm pipe with boiling water, putting a jam or laboratory thermometer in it and comparing the internal water temp with the IR surface temp as it cools. Mine showed the internal water temp to be 10% higher in deg C at an IR measured 40C, rising to 15% higher in deg C at an IR measured 70. Ie if you measure 40 C on the pipe surface the water is at 44 C and if you measure 70 C the water is at 80.5 C. You need to be confident of the calibration of your water thermometer. If it’s a lab thermometer – fine; my jam thermometer gave exactly 100 C (+/- less than 0.5C) in boiling (soft) water and I’m assuming it’s reasonably reliable below that.
So for 15 I can get accurate monitoring temperatures of the actual water in the pipes.
This is a fantastic product! I had previously bought a different but very similar (looked identical) device that was hopeless. This previous device would never give two consecutive readings as the same temperature… but this new one… Wow! It is super consistent and super accurate. I have used it to check the difference in cylinder head temperatures of a lycoming aircraft engine and it confirmed that cylinder number 3 was running hotter than the others. I used it to find out why our lettuces were sometimes getting frozen in the vegetable drawers of our fridge. It told us that the food in these drawers was at 2 degrees and the top shelf was at 10 degrees and all the others at 8 degrees. Our 40 year old freezer was showing -24 degrees…
There are so many uses and its accuracy is reassuring (it shows a saucepan of boiling water at 100 degrees). I highly recommend this product and the price is very reasonable for such precision!
Really Good Device use it all the time now to check the fridge’s temperature and cooked food, highly accurate and easy and simple to use even for me. I would recommend this product to anyone in the catering business. Also, the price is perfect as other products similar to this one cost a lot more.
My laser grip was even better than the health inspectors one.
Very easy to use, I needed it to check I was using my new Pizza oven correctly (which I was). Can’t find a fault with it really. I would definitely recommend this product.
Great piece of kit and as someone mentioned it’s great for checking things you wouldn’t have dreamt of. Even checking when the tea is just right to drink. That is apart from the reason I bought it for.
Really nifty device which can be used with my new pizza oven.I recommend this item for measuring oven temperatures It would work on frying pans and griddles.Aim the laser at the item that you require the temperature.
does wha
t it says on the tin…quite surprised the difference in temp between top and bottom shelf of fridge..brilliant little gadget/tool..i now know the temperature of everything in the house
I’m very happy with this temp tester.. I use this to prove what temperature is coming out of the discharge side of a fan coil unit.
It was delivered the next day and like I say.. Happy with it..
Using with our pizza oven. Brilliant. A no brainier – just buy one.
Also when not using it for the pizza oven, there are countless other things to use it on like the dogs pads, husbands ear, a freshly laid egg etc etc…hours of fun if you can wrestle it out of your sons hands!!!
Arrived quickly and looks and performs very well. I used the Lasergrip to monitor the heat up an electronic component to 200 Deg C with a heat gun. Worked well and the repair was successful saving me hundreds of pounds in replacement costs. The kids loved running round the house measuring objects as well. Recommended.
I bought this for the red laser pointer, as my cat loves chasing the red dot.
To my surprise, I found that this laser pointer also measures temperatures using an infrared thingie–which means I can also measure the temperature of my cat.
Product arrived in good time and at first glance looks well made for price.
Tested on my bbq and all good so far.
Going to try it out on metal cladding to help install with correct thermal movement allowance
Quick delivery and exactly as advertised. Came with a battery and instructions included and does the job well. Optional visual laser and LCD backlight so you can set it up like you want.
Excellent value. I was a bit sceptical about its accuracy, however I tested it in the range I needed it for (20 C to 50 C) and it was well within the stated accuracy, in fact less than half a degree out. I tested it with scientific apparatus. I’m going to buy another for my son.
What can be said other than it is really good. I have used it every day over the winter and it is surprising the results that come up. Good price as well.
This is a great product. It is sturdy, durable and easy to use. I use it for measuring the temperature of my aquariums, and it’s readings are accurate. The added bonus is that my dog loves chasing the laser too!
very useful to take temparature – so i could see where cold was coming in thru my doors. but i have to say it’s extremely fun for playing find the red spot with my dogs, too!
I tested this against a known temperature heat source and it was spot on,which was a surprise considering the price.Since then i’ve been addicted to testing just about everything.Excellent and usefull
Amazing how many things this comes in handy for: My new double glazing is 3 degrees warmer inside than my old double glazing…. the radiators are 65.7c……. it’s 10.8c in my real ale fridge… no wait… it’s fascinating… come back!….
Was looking for a inexpensive, but accurate, digital thermometer to help balance a central heating system and went for this Etekcity 1080 based on the many positive reviews it had received.
Really pleased with it. The built in laser helps to ensure you’re measuring the precise area (essential when taking the temp of a 1/2 pipe), the backlit display is easy to read and the auto switch-off feature helps with battery life. I took readings over a 3 day period and found them to be amazingly consistent. I also compared the readings from the 1080 with analog thermometers around the house and found them to be spot on.
Very happy. Would recommend.
Incredibly easy to use and very accurate. The claimed accuracy is within 2 degrees but on my testing it was within 0.5 degree. Great for checking cracking point for caramel as a reading can be taken from a comfortable distance without risk of sugar splash.
How have I lived without having one?! As a engineer I find I am using it all the time! No adverse comments at all. Accurate,easy to use, prompt delivery and a good follow up from the company. Very well done.
I use this to measure wires for gpu mining rig not gpu itself and i can see its very useful item to measure external temperature I am very happy with it.
This thing is amazing. I bought it to check the temps in my baby Burmese pythons enclosure. I found the temps in her warm hide were too high so it’s helped me be a better snake keeper. Not just that though, I also found out my fridge was too warm with this so I changed the power setting. You don’t realise how many things you need this for until you get it. I’m not sure how they make these so cheap tbh.
Excellent quality product I was expecting something far less professionals this ticks all the boxes I really can’t fault this great little device it has been spot on since the day I have got it and still going strong 6 months later brilliant would definitely recommend this
The best thing I have ever bought! Addictive to use- excellent at finding draughts round door and window seals,cold spots, radiator temps. On the day it arrived used to reasonably accurately measure poorly 18 month old grandson’s temperature underarm- led to successful A&E treatment for ear infection. Excellent value. You will wonder how you did without one!
(Edited)Seems like a nice, well-made device. Bought it to measure pizza oven temperature.The initial one purchased was wildly inaccurate.
Etekcity very quickly replaced the faulty unit with a working one – no fuss, excellent customer service.
Great little device. Simple to get going, once you’ve snipped off the cellophane covering the battery.
Bought for my wood burning pizza oven, Haven’t tried it on that yet, but trialled the temperatures of things around the house. Would recommend.
Very good product, easy to use and well made. Feels good quality and is well packaged. Seems accurate and gives an instant reading which is really useful for balancing radiators. Would highly recommend this product.
Worked fine, no way of knowing if it’s completely accurate, but seemed that it was to me. Was useful for identifying surfaces where insulation was needed.
I needed a thermometer to balance central heating radiators and this is perfect for the job. This needs the temperature difference between inlet and outlet on each radiator to be set to 12 deg C by adjusting the lockshield valves. All I had to do was point this device at the radiator surface near the pipe unions (avoid chrome reflective surfaces like the valves) on each side and open the lockshield slowly to get a 12deg difference.
A plumber suggested this and it is much cheaper than installing unreliable thermostatic valves. Device is easy to use and well made.
Bought primarily for measuring water temperature of a rented property for Legionella risk. I’ve only had this for a few days and was amazed during the recent snow spell, that it measured the roof temperatures of a house some 100 yards away. Very well made and presented.
Time will tell but feel very confident about it.
I bought this item, because marking of temperature on my oven is invisible and all my attempts to master some french desserts would end up with poor results. With this device i finally manage to identify and set the right temperature for my baking. Keep in mind, that it shows the temperature of the surface, not the air. Any way – i was unable to enjoy this device long enough. It appeared that my dad was dreaming about laser thermometer for some time. He had tried mine and enjoyed it so much so i gave it away as a early Christmas present. I might buy another one for myself soon. Overall – it is a good product, it does the job and is very easy to use.
First class item and arrived the day after I ordered.
I would recommend this product to anyone, it gives accurate readings and is very easy to use.
Many thanks for a great product.
Early days yet, only arrived yesterday, seems sturdy and well manufactured. Purchased to check thermostat opening temperature and electric fan switch on setting on classic car. Probably won’t be used until the New Year. Happy so far but only time will tell.
Etekcity 1080Laser Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer -50C to 550C with Backlit LCD Display, Batteries Included, 2year warranty, Yellow
A most useful bit of kit I could have done with years ago.Not had it long enough to fully assess but so far seems pefectly suitable for its job.Also helped with my Christmas shopping – I’ve ordered another three and I’m a Scrooge who doesn’t like wasting money. Recommended!
Great product, I have used a similar one at work in my garage for many years and this one works equally as well, I am using it at home and it is very useful.
I bought this to test my oven’s accuracy – it proved that it was overheating, but with this I could recalibrate. Now I also use it to monitor my fridge temperature. Excellent value for the money.
Easy to use and responsive (0.5 seconds to get a spot reading). Laser on to pinpoint area of interest and backlight if required. I’m going to use it to check my car disc brakes are ok (I think they’re sticking a bit) and to compare temperatures from disc to disc.
Press the trigger for ~1 sec and release and you get a spot reading – the temperature is displayed for a while. Device will auto shut off when not in use. Hold the trigger and keep it pressed and you get a constantly updated temperature – useful for scanning a wall for hot/cold spots.
Battery is easy to install and it comes with the Lasergrip in a reasonable, small cardboard (screen printed) cardboard box. The manual is straightforward and in English (not “chinglish”) and other languages. I had a 5 gift token (from elsewhere) so I topped up with a tenner.
Pleasantly surprised at how good this is. I bought it to find out where the heat escapes through the roof of our bungalow, it has more than proved its worth in that respect.
I’d wanted one of these when they cost 80+ but couldn’t justify the cost. At this price it’s a must-have.
I got this for work, it is for checking steel temperature both for welding and painting inspections, it is good for quick and accurate reading, had to be calibrated which cost more than the thermometer
Thanks
Terrific product. This is very intuitive: hold down the trigger to get live readings, let go and the last value holds. Lazer to point, with simple 1-button toggle for each of Lazer, degrees C/F, and back light on off for screen. Very accurate and fun as well as useful. Recommended!
Recently purchased an Unni Pro wood fired pizza oven and needed a laser temp probe that could cope with temperatures up to 900 degrees. This great piece of kit does the job, is accurate and amazing value.
A must for outdoor cooking fans like myself for use in BBQ, Pizza Oven, and many other areas.
Definitely recommend
I bought this on the strength of the good reviews. It arrived quickly, it works well, their customer service has contacted me to remind me it has a 2 year guarantee.
The product seems good quality, very good value for money. If it is still working a year from now I would give it 5 stars, but I haven’t had it long enough.
Very pleased.
Simo
I bought the Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 thermometer specifically to use when doing water changes in my aquarium. It is important not to shock the fishes with a temperature change. I did use a digital immersion thermometer but this took too long waiting for the temp to set.
The Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 gives me an instant reading. When starting I take a measurement of the surface temp of the water and compare this with the tank thermometer. As the water is continuously agitated there is no more that 0.1C difference. I can then adjust the temperature in the bucket to match. It is so quick and time saving.
I am sure I will find other uses for it but at the moment it is just great for my fish maintenance.
This product represents outstanding value for money. I am using it to check the temperature of the oven when cooking meringues. It’s important to consider that sensor gives the surface temperature so cannot be used to check whether meat has been cooked thoroughly.
Good quality product! I bought it to measure the temperature when repairing electrical and radio equipment! The device is accurate! The case is made of good material!
Very well made device, easy to use and appears to be very accurate (I’ve used it to balance my central heating system after replacing all of the radiators, making sure that there is a 12oC difference across the radiator).
This is brilliant. Everyone in the family cant stop playing with it and take the temperature of everything. Even the dog tries to get people to switch it on as she thinks its a pet laser pointer to chase!
Great product for the money. I have used more expensive thermometers in the oil and gas industry and this seems just as accurate and feels well made. Fast delivery too.
Didn’t really need one but had seen it before and was impressed with the description and user rating so left it in my wish list. Recently bought it on an offer but wasn’t expecting too much for the price, but very pleased with it. Its very good quality and definitely worth the money and a handy tool to have. I’ve only tested it on a few things so far but seems accurate and already coming up with other uses, like fridge, freezer checks, cold spots on Windows, etc. Not an every day device but a great thing to have for those one-off’s and can’t go wrong for the price with a 2 year guarantee as well. Only reason not a 5 is I can’t say how it compares with other more expensive devices.
Product arrived quickly and well packed. I bought it as a requested gift, and the recipient is very pleased, and assures me it works perfectly. Thank you!
So I blame the Prime day “sales” for the purchase of this product – don’t get me wrong – it was cheap and a good bit of kit, but I’ve never needed to use a thermometer before and I certainly didn’t need a non contact one – so I’m not sure why I ended up buying this ! On the bright side – If I ever need one – I’ve now got one !
Having said that – it’s a good bit of kit – soft grip textured handle which opens up to find the battery compartment complete with a shrink wrapped 9V battery inside waiting to be connected. If you haven’t connected a 9V battery before then don’t panic it’s very easy – on the connector you will see two types of connector – one for each terminal – you will see two matching ones on the battery – what you need to do is make sure the opposite looking ones connect (one on the battery and one on the terminal) and if you’ve got it right then the battery should audibly SNAP onto the connector.
Once this has been completed, you can GENTLY but firmly place the now connected battery and connector back into the empty area – don’t worry if you have to push slightly firmly against the pad at the top of the compartment – this is normal – just make sure you don’t rip any of the cables loose.
Similarly when it comes to disconnecting the battery from the connector (to stop accidental battery run down), use gentle force to pry them apart otherwise you might rip the wires from the connector.
For the couple of times that I used it the temperatures that were returned seemed accurate, but I didn’t have any type of calibration items to check and this isn’t one of those highly accurate units that would cost a lot more to buy, so use judgement when taking measurements.
Well made and good quality. Nice rubberised finish. Feels solid. Seems to be pretty accurate based on testing various know freezer and oven temperatures. Nice simple instructions. Well pleased with my purchase, which was at a reasonable price.
My thermometer arrived on time but there was no battery inside. I have been in touch with customer service and been promised a refund of a battery that I had bought myself, tho I was disappointed as I needed this item to replace one I had borrowed which got lost or stolen.
Soon as I receive my refund then everything will be fine. The item itself is a brilliant piece of equipment thank you. As I need this for work.

This is my 2nd one as my husband bought me one last year to measure the temperature of my tortoise pen during different times of the day.
My mom admired it so much I thought I would buy her one and just give it to her as an early birthday present xxx
I bought this tool because I wanted to be able to monitor the temperature of a heated bed of a 3D printer. It solved my problems! It comes with a laser pointer help show you exactly where you are pointing it at, and and LCD backlight if you are using it in dark spaces. It has been so useful for other incidental purposes (ever check your freezer temperature?) that i am amazed that I hadn’t bought one sooner.
Had it a week so far to test the temperature of my wood oven. Seems to work great, impressed at that price. Can’t comment on the accuracy as nothing to compare temps against so i suppose the reading could be way off, but i doubt it as it feels like pretty quality build in the hand. Like the screen and the fact laser can be turned on and off. The temp does seem to vary depending on the distance you hold the device to point you are measuring but that is understandable, as greater distance will result in more interference and less accurate reading. Been interesting pointing it at clouds and sky which also provide readings so quite impressed with that.
All in all – got to say it’s pretty good piece of kit for the price and quality.
Excellent, just the job. Wow. Very quick delivery and a very good device. Using it for my reptiles and it’s already assisted me in the first day. Delivered to my work and I went around measuring fridge temperatures and it was accurate. I would recommend this product. Good for the price
Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 Non-contact Digital Laser IR Infrared Thermometer Instant Read Temperature Gun, -50C ~ 550C ( -58F~1022F ), Rubber Paint Technology, Yellow/Black , as described, works grea
Was delivered in time, safely packaged and works well! I originally bought it because I struggled to check temperatures when cooking, if I was making something that took a while and needed constant temperature checking (i.e. yogurt). It is not an extremely accurate cooking thermometer as you have to stir and then the temp will go up and down a little due to the movement, but especially with yogurt I only needed a rough temperature measure. My boyfriend was also happy to see that I bought this, as he had been meaning to get one for a while for when he’s working on cars or other situations where he might need it. All in all a win-win, and a good price!
Great piece of kit, gives instant readings and appears to be very accurate. It feels very comfortable in the hand and is covered in a soft ‘tactile’ silicone type material. Readout is clear and ability to swap between F & C is good.
I highly recommend this product & would buy again.
Yes it’s lots of fun to point, shoot, and see the temperature but it’s also very useful and gives a decent reading. Recommended!
The instrument is well made with a very tactile finish. Gives a quality feel, especially for the price.
Very easy to use. I bought it partly to check the temperature variations over the area of my radiators, which it does only too well (they need flushing).
Don’t expect it to measure the temperature of a 15mm copper pipe, simply because the field of view is much bigger than the pipe. This would not be a reasonable use in my opinion. But walls, radiators, freshly baked bread, well almost anything within reason, except people.
Although it doesn’t have a case, it comes in a sturdy cardboard box with a blow moulded interior, which is quite adequate unless you want to kick it around the floor in the rain !
Nice product.
I bought this for testing vehicle temperatures before wrapping and applying graphics and for post heating vinyl to 100degs.
I’ve compared it to my more expensive Sealey one (2 actually!) and although its a couple of degrees out it does the job for me.
I’m not sure if I’d buy it if I needed 100% accuracy but a few degrees is acceptable for me.
It works the same as all the others I’ve had and is comfortable for long uses as how I use it.
You can turn the laser pointer off and it holds the temp when you let the trigger go.
Not bad at all, decent buy for the money.
Well made and very useful infra red thermometer with an inbuilt targetting laser. Excellent customer service who emailed me a few days after delivery just to check everything was ok with it. No hesitation to fully recommend this unit.
Not had it long enough to evaluate how accurate/useful it is. It is very nice to hold because of the satin none slip handle. The text is clear and the controls are simple. The inclusion of a battery is thoughtful.
I found opening the flap on the handle, to insert the supplied battery a struggle. On the picture of the 800 that I can see as I write this it is very obvious where to grip and pull; however, to me the squeeze point is too subtle and requires to much force to open.
I was impressed with the service and packaging and once unwrapped the product is solid and would appear as though it is a durable item.
I have only taken a few readings to get the operational parameters of some tumble drier thermostats which I want to replace and avoid paying extraordinary prices for from dedicated machine spares shop when these thermostats can be got for pennies if you know what they are set at.It worked well.I have used similar items in my work in the construction industry and know they have many uses when surveying anything to do with heat loss or production and help avoid drilling holes in underfloor heating pipes I am sure it will remain a very useful tool to have in my kit.Well worth the money.
I bought this Thermometer to measure the temperature of clouds. By measuring the ground and cloud temperature enables you to calculate the cloud height. I bought this towards the end of a meteorology course with Reading University. Works perfectly. Solid product delivered on-time with Amazon Prime.
Bought this infrared thermometer to balance my central heating system after having new radiators installed (this takes a few hours so plumbers and central heating engineers often conveniently ‘forget’ to do this). Works perfectly. Great price for something that I should have in the cupboard forever. Of course there’s the irresistible temptation to go round the house measuring the temperature of everything, which is great !
Bought this as we use similar in work. I don’t actually need it but I’m a bloke who likes gadgets. I’ve checked temperatures of walls, floors, windows, stuff cooking, fridge, freezer and the back of my throat. The laser is brilliant for excersising the cats as they’re stupid enough to chase a little red dot around. I wouldn’t advocate pointing it at passers-by or hovering police helicopters, that would be very stupid.
I absolutely love this, I am a gadget freak but it is really handy around the house and for other things. Yesterday we were laying a patio in the garden but we couldn’t because according to the thermostat it was only 1 and we needed 2 degrees for the pointing to set. Last night I used it to check the heat in the pan for my steak before I put it in at around 300 odd. But most importantly my cat is 20. Lol It’s funny how are you suddenly want to know the temperature of everything. I’ve checked it against other thermostats and they’re all max 0.5 difference between them which is very slim so I assume it is pretty accurate. Worst way, it makes a great laser gun! ha ha Ps this is a totally impartial review because I wasn’t offered any deals to make this.
Works a treat. Lets you hold, turn the laser on and off, and also turn the backlight on and off. No actual powerswitch on it because it turns itself off. Months later I’m still on the same set of batteries so thats good!
I bought this to check oven temps, and it works very well. However its a bit habit forming as I have now checked the fridge, freezer, radiators (to balance them) found cold spots in the house and temp of wifes feet?????
The unit seems to be well made and good quality, simple to use and accurate with an excellent temp range and clear to see laser spot.
Switching from F to C is a simple button.
It has a 9V battery so should last a good time.
OK, so it’s not a device for accurate measurement, but a reliable Fluke starts at 70, and a top Flir carmera can be 4k, so expectations were very low for this. For 13.99 (battery included) this is actually a lot better than I expected and lots of fun to point at things around the house. I just wanted it to trace some problems with my central heating, so don’t need accuracy, just something to compare one radiator to another… accuracy is not likely to be good, but repeatability is ok if you keep a constant distance from the thing you are measuring (read the instructions).
Incidentally, Amazon says this was 30 and you’re saving 17 with the current price of 13.99. Don’t be fooled. This was NEVER 30. It’s a 13.99 device, but worth it at that. At 30 it would be a hilarious rip-off.
Useful tool for both cooking and mechanical needs. No complicated setup. Just put the battery in and off you go. Simple controls on the back for changing the few options such as temperature in celsius or farenheit, turning the laser point on or off and having the screen backlit.
Also can be used for fun for winding up bald friends who have hot heads.
I use this for the BBQ, and for homebrewing. On the Brewing side it seems to match my Glass Thermometer, Braumeister’s Computer and my Inkbird temperature controller which all have a supposed +/- 0.5 C resolution, so I was very pleased.
The Etekcity is a great product and I can highly recommend it. It has a quality feel to it so much so it makes you want to pick it up.
More importantly it seems to be very accurate and versatile. If you want the temperature of a small area, such as looking for cold spots in your house, you just move in close to take the reading. On the other hand if you want a reading of a larger area you just move back to take the reading.
The laser guide can be turned off if required as can the back-light to the display and the reading can be switched between Fahrenheit and Centigrade even after the reading has been taken. All in all it has everything you need in an Infrared Thermometer.
Arrived well packaged in a sturdy box the inside moulded to the shape of the device and also the battery. The space for the battery was empty. The battery had been stuffed into the device where it is supposed to fit when it is connected but as it wasn’t connected it had been forced. I unsealed the battery and connected it up and found the device was not working. I checked the voltage on the battery ang found it to be 7.5volts. Flat. A fresh battery was sourced and the device worked. I’m very pleased with the thermometer but the battery is rubbish. I would have definitely posted 5 stars had it not been for that. The backlight is very useful. Buy it without the battery.
I had a minor issue with the product received. Etekcity handled it professionally and the issue was resolved promptly and professionally. Great product and excellent service. Thanks! The thermometer works flawlessly!
