This is good havent used it much just to find drafts in the house but it works. It’s a good thermomete
Seems like a really good product have not tested how accurate it is but im sure its not that far off and will do for all the odd jobs im sure if your looking a for somthing around this price range your not looking for spot on results
Easy to use. Just hold the trigger to get continuous readout of temperature as you sweep across a surface. Found cold spots I didn’t know about.
Dead easy to use; wish I had had one years ago for all sorts of things – oven/hotplate temperature, solid-fuel stove pipes, hot/cold spots in walls and so on. Very good value.
Really useful product which has many uses, particularly useful for improving your home’s heat efficiency. You soon find out where your home is leaking heat. In my home, it identified areas in the corners of the bedroom ceiling that were missing loft insulation and turned out to bare plasterboard, resulting in cold spots, some of which were 9C! This product also makes it easy to balance radiators so that they have an even heat output. Takes accurate inlet and outlet water temperatures.
I’m a gadget man and this is a little gadget that I bought for my tool box, to play with occasionally. Apart from seeing how hot the radiators are, I doubt I will use it very much.
Having said all that, it’s extremely easy to use and fits comfortably in the hand. Although I have given 5 stars for accuracy, I don’t really have a way to check it.
Almost purchased a more expensive version but didn’t go through with sale as they didn’t ship to Ireland. Purchased this without high hopes due to low price but it does exactly what it says on the tin and is perfect for job I needed it for. (Water temperature in outdoor Koi pond)
Product appears to work fine, I do not have an accurate temperature to compare the readings against but it does what I require, balance radiators, BBQ smoker temperature checks. The only negative I could say about this, and I’m sure its the same for all IR non contact thermometers is that the temperature can change a couple of degrees depending on what you point it at, i.e. high gloss, shiny metals, matt surfaces all scattering and absorbing the IR differently.
Very easy to use can read display with or without back light not over complicated gives option to use with or without lazer
Would recommend to anyone, worth the money
Pleased with this thermometer, my latest toy for checking heat loss all over the house
Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations of this but I was surprised to learn I need to be very close to the heat source to get an accurate reading.
Sort of thought I’d be able to take a temperature from a good distance but in reality you need to be around a foot away.
That said it works….what more can you ask for.
Not sure what to expect
Point and press and it shows the temperature
For the price spot on
Oh 2 years guarantee
Thanks
at this price whats not too like. works very well although I havent managed to check the accuracy
Perfect for setting valves on domestic radiators for regulating temperatures.
Very happy with this product.
Seems to be able to obtain a temperature from a distance of a few meters, but not sure how accurate that actually is.
Used in anger to monitor the temperature of some metal I was bending back into shape, and it worked really well.
Can’t be 100% sure of the accuracy, but from various tests it would seem to be pretty close.
The sighting red dot is great. Very powerful, tight beam and produces a bright dot at distance, so you always know what you’re measuring.
Thus is invaluable for the pizza oven. Also quite accurate, as we use it to test the temperature to bake bread after the pizzas are cooked.
Brilliant product does what I bought it for, to measure the temperature in my vivarian. Easy to use and very accurate my. Bearded dragon is happy to.
I use this to monitor temperature in my snakes tank, the laser allows me to hit exact spots that I need monitoring. It’s perfect for keeping a close eye on things and making sure the gradient in temperature is right for him.
Very handy to have around the house and garage. Light weight and easy to read, perfect. Thank you.
Great piece of kit. Solid and works well. Has a laser pointer to accurately locate the sensing area. Good sized display and well packaged. Well worth the money.
Excellent product which is easy to use and gives clear readings of surface temperatures
Can’t rate this highly enough, very easy to use, gives an accurate reading and relatively cheap for the price.
I originally bought this to measure the temperature in a fish tank and to that extent it works brilliantly and reads the same temp as the thermometer i have previously been using.
However, that’s not it’s only use, this thing will literally give you hours of entertainment, be it from measuring for cold spots on walls/ceilings, checking the temp of the fridge/freezer, armpits, crotch, girlfriends bum and finding out my personal preference for coffee, which by the way is 55c.
My only negative is when you look down the sights and fire the laser, it’s literally off by 3-4mm, this is no problem for me, given that i was an avid Counter Strike player back in the 56k modem days, so i’ve learnt to lead my targets, which is somewhat tricky with hip shots, but i’m getting their with practice – I’m even contemplating buying another so i can dual wield!
Honestly the reviews for this say it all, it’s a must buy!
Bought for our pizza oven! Think it’s accurate so far and can read up to a very high temperature which is good. Very easy to use and read the temp
This is very easy to use and is quite accurate. We have underfloor heating and I just wanted to check it.
Easy to use. Bought for my aquarium to check temp whilst doing water changes. Would recommend
Hard to tell if it is accurate as I have nothing to measure it against. I mainly use it for getting the temperature of oil right before frying and it takes out the guesswork. The other things I use it for is to check the temperature of my halogen oven and the fridge. You then realise that the temperature of the oven does not match the thermostat setting. I also take it camping so I can keep a check on the temperature of my coolbox.
I have also found it useful and very accurate to taking the temerature of my home brew fermentation container. It saves having to steralise a thermometer and gives a better reading than a stick on temperature gauge.
Needed an infrared thermometer for my new three burner Plancha now I know exactly what the temperature is in each area of the griddle, great product nice quality feel to it too
I bought this item very much on a whim. I saw my plumber son using one last winter to check the output of our C/H boiler, merely by pointing it at the flow and return pipes.
My boiler does not have any calibration, merely + or – on the dial, so this year, I may be able to control it more precisely and spot check room temperatures. Interested to learn that it can be used for cooking, I must. follow that up!
I like this laser and found the online reviews really good because that made my decision easier.
Bought to take temps of my tortoise. Accurate. Helps me keep his temps sound
Great accuracy when used with a calibrated thermometer….easy to use, a very good buy.
inc battery went flat after using twice as the battery gets low the readings go silly
Great fun and great for the pizza oven which is what I bought it for.
Can turn the laser on and off so you can temperature sense your friends without blinding them.
Easy to use with eliminated display, great for everything from cooking to getting a bath the right temperature every time.
We bought this to check the extent of underfloor heating pipes and this was accurate enough to show where we had heating pipes in place and where we had any cold spots. However, now we have it we can see it can be used for so much more. Recommended.
Using for general cookery, bread-making, and will use for making jams. Quick and easy to use. Takes the guesswork out of the kitchen and helps give great results
I bought this to keep a check on the temperature inside my snake’s terrarium and it works brilliantly, very pleased with the product and the value for money…also I’m impressed that the battery was included.
Works perfectly, batteries last a long time, has a great range, works very quickly, great for food etc.
I haven’t used this yet but I’m sure it will do the job just fine good product well made easy to use
We have only had it a few days to give a more accurate review you need to use it for a period of time.
This ‘remote’ thermometer was purchased to help in finding a misfire on a car engine (cylinder not firing should be colder on cylinder head).
Whilst not used for this purpose yet, I have measured various other things just for fun and it seems to work very well at quite a distance, but the displayed temperature gets less the further from the object; within 300mm/1 foot is optimal.
The item itself is quite compact and nicely made with a comfortable, slightly rubbery feel, like a lot of hand-held items these days, and comes with its own 9v battery.
The switchable backlit screen is easy to see and the red laser dot to assist pinpoint temperature measurements (also switchable) is a useful feature.
Overall excellent.
Excellent thermometer and surprisingly very accurate. Definitely a winner. Use a 9 volt lithium battery for durability.
Use this to spot check temps in snake enclosures and it works very well for this.
Perfect, I love it, drip free measuring of temperatures ideal for soap makers and other hobbyists. check fridges etc.
Fantastic and reliable thermometer. I use mine regularly when hand tempering chocolate
LOVE IT, use it for my baking, now i dont have to try and stick a candy thermometer on the side of a pan…plus you can use it for almost everything else, it is fun to just point and shoot and know the temperature!
i use it on fish tanks and it is giving the same results as the unit i used before but its a lot more convenient, love i
I use it for sugar syrup while making marshmallows, meringues, meringue butter cream and soon macaroons. Would recommend
WE have used the thermometer to check the operating temp of our electric oven and it appears to show that our oven is creating a higher temp than the regulo setting
I bought this as a fun little thing to play around with to be honest and it’s paid off. As far as I can tell it’s accurate. Now I can check how hot my cat is, as well as which part of my TV screen is the warmes
I’ve been after a non-contact digital Thermometer for a while and decided to take a look at this one.
The quality is good with it all being made from high-grade plastic. The feel is excellent, and its well contracted. It’s a good weight as its very light and didn’t fatigue my hand while using it for prolonged periods.
You get a battery included which is great to see. I did find this a little fiddly to install but nothing too major. With this included, you can start using it right out of the box.
There is a reasonable manual explaining the features and how to use the item but it’s basic so easy to use.
I Like how you can turn on and off the Red Dot as well as having the ability to see it in the dark with the press of a button to enable the backlight. You can also switch between C & F with a press.
All in all, I’m impressed with this device for the price and wouldn’t pick up another.
Fantastic piece of gadgetry! I purchased mine specifically for soap making, as it’s important to test the temperature of your lye mixture as well as your melted oils & butters, as they have to be within ten degrees of each other before combining them together to create your soap. If the temperature is too hot it can affect the saponification process, or even cause a bit of a soap volcano – not nearly as exciting as it sounds, it can be very dangerous!
I loved the fact that you just “point & shoot” & that no part of the tool is coming into contact with anything you’re testing, which is particularly helpful in soap making because lye is pretty nasty stuff, the less things that come into contact with it, the better. So no thermometers having to be dunked into the mixture, & thus less chance of lye spills & splodges, & the risk of chemical burns. Yay for safety!
Overall, a very handy gadget to have, & at a really reasonable price, I’m super happy with it!
I’ve gotten over the play with it phase and have actually found it very useful indeed. I’ve used it to test food temperatures (particularly useful when reheating food) and it really helped me to sort out my central heating problems. By being able to monitor each of my central heating radiators individually I’ve been able to properly bleed and then balance the system. I’ve been able to reduce the boiler temperature setting which I reckon will save enough money to pay for itself. It’s easy to use , gives a quick read out, it’s well made and well priced. Top marks all round
Great quality. Well constructed and clear readout. Very comfortable to hold. It does what it says, measures the surface temperature of whatever you point it at.
It’s great for talking the outside temperature when caring for plants plus it is fun to use around the house.
The thermometer is easy to use and, as far as I can tell, gives accurate readings. It needs to be close to the subject to be accurate and the circle of influence averages the reading.
I do not like the laser being on without warning, there should be an indication that the laser is activated.
It is easy to use and useful for multiple purposes. Build quality appears very good for the price.
Seems like the temperature measurements are fairly accurate, but I’m not sure they are completely accurate.
I wanted this as an alternative to a dip in thermometer for particularly hot items such as boiling sugar. I’ve tested the accuracy using both and am very happy with this product especially since it’s much safer to use.
It is quick and easy to measure the temperature drop across a radiator by measure the temperatures at the lower corners. The laser allows accurate aiming for consistent reading. Readings can be taken in awkward places because the reading is held after the trigger is released. Of course, like any tool, you need to know how to use it, in particular the emissivity of the surface being measured. Metals in general, including copper pipes, do not give accurate readings because they have low emissivity. White paint and paper, perhaps counter intuitively, generally have high emissivity and give accurate readings.
I use this to check the temperature in my snakes vivarium, it’s much more accurate than the stick on thermometers I have, it’s easy to use and compact so it’s easy to store
I have found this to be one of those tools that is not only useful but also just plain fun to use. Get one and start zapping!
What a tool out of the box and straight to work,check to cooker heat open the door click the switch, instant read even the temp of my cup of tea,the griddle hob in my tea van instant read, i am over the moon with with this tool.
Thanks Ala
This is exactly what I expected. It looks the same as in the photos, it arrived perfectly and in good condition, it works perfectly and I have no complaints.
Well packaged and arrived in good time. Very easy to use and durable
The build quality seems very good but more importantly it does what I want of it,which is finding cold areas on walls that will require extra insulation. At the moment I’m more than impressed with its performance.
Works perfectly for checking the temperature in various parts of the snakes vivarium. Vital to ensure a range of temperatures for the snakes comfort and wellbeing.
Only had this item a day so far but it seems to be very good indeed, accurate readings for my reptiles vivariums and really really easy to use. definitely recommend.
Very useful for checking oil temperatures for deep frying, checking pizza stone temperature in the oven for optimal cooking.
I am sure there are myriad of ways to use this product other than cooking such as checking temperatures in cars and computers!
+ Has both Fahrenheit and Celcius
+ Laser pointer for easier aim
+ Backlight screen for easier viewing at nigh
The price of this is amazing, I am also very happy with the build quality, speed of use, light etc, everything you need on a temperature gun. the range of temperature is good, -50 to 750C, suitable for all diesel generators.
I have used very expensive temperature guns over the years and this is as good as any, light weight, easy to use. The temperature reading is about right for what I would expect, so it is accurate. and it reacts quickly to temperature change, very fast indeed.
I would recommend this 🙂
I initially purchased for a couple of completely different reasons:
1. To check the temperature of melted chocolate when baking.
2. To externally check the thermals of electronic components under use.
When checked against other more job-specific thermometers it’s actually quite accurate so it works for both those uses.
However, I soon realised I and everyone else that comes over to visit and sees it starts checking the temperature of everything from Patch (my dog) to the television; we could even work out where the pipes are situated in our house when the heating was on.
Everyone should own one.
Highly recommended!
This is an excellent device with many uses. Infrared themomoeters have been around for many years. I have used them for more than 30 years when they were much more expensive. This one is a good price and more versatile than the one we used at work years ago. For home use you can use it for measuring the temperature of fridge, freezers, room temperature and outside temperature. Fish tank and bath water. Food temperature for babies and elderly people. Just one point it is not really useable to measure body temperature, there are other devices for medical use. At work we used it to measure equipment temperature, some of which were behind safety grills but you could target the equipment using the red beam through the gap in the grill. This IR temperature monitor is a must have device.
An excellent tool for home and work alike. The grip is very tactile and the probe very easy to use. I’ve used it on the car, the radiators in the house to ensure they were all working (as one was a lower lower temp and cored up) and even on the sunday roast !
Can’t fault it.
The specification and construction are very good and the cost very resonable. This is an excellent way of measuring surface tempertures and a useful educational tool, especially if you want to illustrate thermal electromagnetic radiation and Wien’s Law.
There’s nothing to dislike about this product – it’s well-made, the rubberised paint on the handle feels lovely, and the temp readings are quick and accurate. For the price, it’s outstanding.
It clearly cannot check internal temperature of a joint of meat or poultry and a probe thermometer may be additionally required to verify that both appropriate levels are reached; while appearing cooked on the outside, it is possible for it to be almost raw inside especially if improperly thawed from frozen. The desired temperature levels for different meats, fish etc can usually be found on-line but are often printed in cookery books and sometimes in food-related articles in newspapers and magazines.
It has an extensive temperature range from -50 to 550C which will cover everything from the fridge and freezer, which should be among the coldest, and almost anything beyond including temperatures of different sections of a running vehicle engine, domestic radiators or almost anything else. It takes a standard 9v flat battery (included but not actually connected) which is held within the grip and which are readily available and not overly expensive to replace when required, although that provided is expected to provide a year or more’s service when often used. The battery is protected by a thick plastic film that needs be removed before first use and then connected. The fit within its compartment is tight!
It is claimed to offer an accuracy of +/- 2-deg, far better that the +/- 5-deg suggested by the best of the analogue rotary ones which in practice may be much greater. Their reading accuracy may be imprecise, adding further problems. Sometimes two such thermometers were used side-by-side (normally on different oven shelves) and they can easily differ from each other by 30-deg or more. It was impossible to know which of them, if any, was the more accurate. It is now known that one read slightly high and the other consistently very low! Under- or over-cooking within the normally used time for a dish, or as suggested by a recipe, can therefore be effectively avoided. This provided readings closely similar – a couple of degrees C lower – to one, that long thought to be the more accurate.
As the thermometer includes both laser and IR-sensing technology, although the laser is low-power and relatively safe when not misused, proper safety precautions should be taken and use by young children should never be permitted. Equally, it should never be used to check body temperatures or pointed towards vehicles on the road or flying aircraft.
I purchased this recently based upon reviews. I was looking for a unit which was not bulky, simple to use etc. I have to say I was extremely surprised on how good the build quality is for this item. I will actually say it’s brilliant. The unit is lightweight, feels robust and very clear with its results. Yeah, you can buy cheaper units, you can also buy much dearer units, but you should ask yourself why? This unit has a two year warranty, simple to operate and has a great Temperature range. Buy one, you’ll not be disappointed.
Very handy tool to locate draughts in windows and doors. Measuring temperatures around the house gives you an insight into the thermal performance of your house.
Great item, appears to be quite accurate, and good value. Also, I’ve found loads more uses for this than what I originally bought it for (from monitoring cooking, to setting room thermostats).
I borrowed a friends 300 infrared thermometer and loved it, but couldn’t justify that kind of spend. I use it to measure the temperature of tyres on my race bike. This performs just as well for less than 20. I’m very impressed.
I bought this to verify that the surface temperature of our bathroom floor was accurately shown on the control panel for our underfloor heating. The match was well within an acceptable tolerance. I also checked it against the interior of our fridge, our freezer and newly-boiled water. Everything was again close to the temperatures shown on other gauges or known.
A great product manufactured from quality materials and very accurate, especially for the price. It comes in a nice box with a decent manual too. What more could you want. Bargain.
I was a little dubious about purchasing this as the price is very reasonable however after receiving it and using it to check temperature of my new tandoor oven it is a great piece of kit, I even use it to test temperature in greenhouse saving me money on heating, well worth the money and lots is uses
As a review has said you do find yourself taking temperatures of lots of objects for the fun of it. Works well seems to be very accurate and very easy to use.
Really pleased with this. I bought this for finding draft and cold spots in my house. Within minutes I’ve found where the cold is coming from. I’d nearly bought a black and decker temperature sensor but it was twice the price… I have no regrets with my descion, this does the job perfectly. It’s also nicely rubberised so doesn’t feel cheap and plastic.
I showed it to my dad and he’s just ordered one even though he’s got no real use for it. Had I realised this before Christmas, I’d of bought 1 for every member of the family.
Great product. Easy to use. I mainly brought this to measure the temperature in my snake vivarium. It is perfect telling me the temperature at each end as the snake needs a hot end and a cooler end. And I can do this any time without disturbing my snake. Once again fantastic product for a great price
I simply put in the battery and followed simple instructions for use. It couldn’t be simpler and gives rapid results, just what I required.
I like the size, the design and the ease of use. I am using it for candle making, there is nothing I don’t like about it.
What can I say, other than brilliant product. Have both my snake vivarium’s running at perfect temp gradients now. Should have bought one a long time ago. Highly recommend to any herpers out there!!
I bought this heat measuring gun for my reptiles and inverts so I can keep a close eye on their temperatures. This handy little device is perfect, it’s not cumbersome or difficult to use, you just pull the trigger and go! Its also very accurate, which is necessary for the animals I have.
I bought the Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 to make achieving correct temperatures in my homebrew easier than using the glass thermometer i normally use.
Bought this mainly to check the temperature of my wood burning stove to make sure it is operating optimally. I have a magnetic standard-type thermometer but the best place to put it (the flue) is non magnetic so I have to place it on the side of the stove, which takes an age to heat up and I suspected that it never quite reaches the temperature of the flue. This IR thermometer reads the flue temp easily and the reading makes sense compared to the reading for the side of the stove. Oh, and I agree with other reviewers that you can have hours of geeky fun measuring the temperature of everything in the house (including the dog), though I hasten to add that this last is probably not recommended. So much for so little money! Can’t comment on durability – I’ve only had it a few days.
An idiot proof point and press to know how hot or cold something is to at least some level of accuracy sort of device.
This seems to be of a higher level of quality but the 9v battery is not an idea I’m a fan of.
This was recommended to me by a fellow student on a skincare course I was recently on. It has certainly improved the process of skincare formulations, for me, as there is less likelihood of contamination. Quite simply because there is no need to put a traditional thermometer into the formulas, there is less problems with bacteria being introduced. Wonderful product and very easy to use.
Great design & very easy. Less than a minute after opening the box I had the thermometer up & running. Good grip that has a quality feel about it. LCD is a good size & easy to read. Very happy with my purchase.
Well I am glad I did buy it, its a great item to have around the house and garage. Its amazing the amount of things you start taking readings off. I have just noticed that a wall in my house is a lot colder than others, so now I will insulate this wall, so the price of this item will soon be saved in heating bills. You can also tell which radiators are not performing and are colder and need cleaning/replacing which will again save money.
But on a side note, its driving the cat crazy with the red laser dot appearing everywhere, you can turn this option off but to hell with it, I need to annoy the cat a little more.
Gary.
I bought this on offer and think that it is good value. I tried to resist the temptation (after reading other peoples’ reviews) of taking temperatures of everyone and everything in the house – as tempting as it was. However, I did use it to try and sort out some central heating problems. I have a digital room thermometer and wasn’t sure how accurate it was and the Lasergrip gave me an identical reading, I was also able to go around the house very quickly and get accurate top and bottom readings of all my radiators. It’s good value and a ‘fun’ but useful addition to anyone’s toolkit.
Delighted with this tooll and grateful that it is so lightweight as im disabled.This item arrived in advertised time. Will definitely recommend this thermometer and supplier.
