Water temp
Easy to use. Bought for my aquarium to check temp whilst doing water changes. Would recommend
It works! Not just for testing oil for frying but also the temp of fermenting home brew
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.
great price
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

Great gadge
Bought this to take temperature on a wide range of this from testing accuracy of Pizza oven to thermal values across old cottage I live in before and after steps were taken to improve heat retention this little bit of kit as well as being extremely accurate helped me go about these processes
Fast and accurate way for checking heart sources.
I’m a fire officer within the film industry. Working along side the special effects department.
This piece of equipment is very handy to have at hand, for checking surface temperatures which are involved or around the areas of practical burns on the film sets.
So easy to use
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!
Useful gadge
I like this laser and found the online reviews really good because that made my decision easier.
Easy to use and seems accurate
Was a bit sceptical, but its quite accurate. Very good for measuring surface temperatures of very hot things. I use it to measure the surface temp of my pizza stone which can easily get up to 450-500C in the Kamado grill.
Grea
Bought to take temps of my tortoise. Accurate. Helps me keep his temps sound
Works really well
Great accuracy when used with a calibrated thermometer….easy to use, a very good buy.
Great value Thermomete
Bought one of these to measure the temp in my new Ooni pizza oven.
So far it’s worked well and confirms when the oven is up to 500 degrees C.
Seems to be quite accurate when testing against my traditional ovens too, you just need to make sure you point it correctly towards the centre etc.
Also great fun randomly measuring the temperature of colleagues at work when it’s delivered to your office amazon locker.
Would definitely recommend it!
digital gauge
inc battery went flat after using twice as the battery gets low the readings go silly
Check Temperature
Great piece of kit, I have just connected battery and used for the first time to check performance of new boiler.
Early days but all looks good.
Very tactile and easy to use. Many thanks
Too much fu
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, and does the job
Easy to use with eliminated display, great for everything from cooking to getting a bath the right temperature every time.
Great product easy to use and works well
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
Great value for a great item.
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.

We have only had it a few days to give a more accurate review you need to use it for a period of time.
Car interiors, smartphones, radiators and more
So many things you find that it would be so useful to check it’s temperature.
If a dashcam gives a maximum temperature it can cope with, you put it in the window but in the sun all day how sure can you be you’re not going from baking to breaking? I was surprised that in a mild spring day the albeit black dashboard got to over 60C so I now take it down for the day. Actually use Magnetproa’s circular neodymium countersunk magnets in the car’s footwell to snap them quickly out of the way.
For not much money, this is accurate, easy to use and a pleasure to see explicit empirical values for temperatures you’d find impossible otherwise to check.
Point and shoot, let go to hold the temp onscreen and flip back and forth from C to F and vice-versa.
Backlight and laser add to the quality.
Battery included.
(It’s overcast now with the windows open, car dashboard is still 42C (107F), acting like a radiator, no wonder a foil screen helps (search for “Freesoo”, it’s a winner for sun and frost).
If you’re a racer, maybe go to Rye House kart racetrack, this would be great for testing tyre and track temperatures, for info down below the tarmac in the golf car park is 27.6C/81.6F.
My palm is 34.9C/94.8F…. addictive!!
Dashcam is 30C/86F and it’s max operating temp is 60C so all safe but it’s back on it’s magnet holders when I get out.
Parts of a car engine can be checked.
See how hot the exhaust air of an air-con vent is, then how chilly the air is.
I point out at the sky and it changes when it’s a cloud, blue sky or the sun!!! -20C for the sky, 10C underside of a cloud and 100C+ for the sun .
Decent distance-to-spot ratio…. 12 to 1, so you need an area that is at least a twelfth of how far away you are from it. From a foot away, the spot needs to be an inch across, at least.
Bought 2!!
Can turn the backlight off and on, only 3 buttons needed…. Point and shoot, so easy.
Internal fridge items to test.
Solid construction, Etekcity, never heard of them but they’ve a brilliant product here.
Great produc
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 and accurate
Excellent thermometer and surprisingly very accurate. Definitely a winner. Use a 9 volt lithium battery for durability.
Works well
Use this to spot check temps in snake enclosures and it works very well for this.
Buy this
Must have for getting the temperature right for your reptile. It’s fast and straight to the point without waiting for a dial to regulate before a reading is given. It has a red dot to show where it’s taking the temperature from. Works a charm for getting the temp for a bath too. Very useful tool. Definitely recommend.
spot o
Perfect, I love it, drip free measuring of temperatures ideal for soap makers and other hobbyists. check fridges etc.
Excellent quality, handy item
Fantastic and reliable thermometer. I use mine regularly when hand tempering chocolate
handy bit of ki
No way of telling how accurate the reading are it is 2 degrees lower than a manual type I have that could be incorrect have no access to calibrated thermometer but for a couple of degrees no problem for me
Love i
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!

working good for me
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
Nice bit of ki
I use it for sugar syrup while making marshmallows, meringues, meringue butter cream and soon macaroons. Would recommend
accuracy
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 like randomly checking the temperature of things
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

used for reptiles. nice and reliable, sturdy
used to check temps for reptiles. seems to be working fine with no issues. reliable and good hand feel. not too plastic. taken a few drops onto carpet with no problems. used for four months now
I have 10 reptiles that all have thermometers in their vivariums however I like to spot check them to ensure they are working correctly and monitor the temperature gradient. This is great for that purpose, seems to be accurate (within (0.5c of tanks). Easy to use, good instructions if you’re stuck.
DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN & BETTER QUALITY THEN I EXPECTED
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.
A brilliant piece of kit with so many uses
This thermometer is a brilliant piece of kit at a very cheap price for what it represents. it was bought to test the insulation in different parts of a house but has been used in a wide variety of circumstances including in a fridge, freezer and greenhouse. It appears to be highly accurate.
Brilliant for soap making! 🛁
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'm really glad I bought this one
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
Point and click. Very easy. Also accurate.
Really wonderful wee device. So very very simple to use. I use it for my amphibians, for both water and the ambient temperature. Have used other kinds in the past that were cheaper(also accurate). However the portability, comfortable grip and simplicity of this thermometer blows them all out of the water. Would recommend to all, would also buy again if I had a mishap with mine.
Great quality
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 small and light. Gives a correct reading each time.
It’s great for talking the outside temperature when caring for plants plus it is fun to use around the house.
Easy to use
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.
Love i
Using this to measure the temperature in rooms across the school. Have been able to cut back the amount of time the heating needs to be on for. Can accurately measure the temperature in various rooms and adjust heating accordingly.
Also comes in handy when people think it’s TOO cold!
Really good for approximate temperature measurements!
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.

Life changing.
Once you get this pistol-grip thermometer, you will be unable to walk round your house without checking the temperature of EVERYTHING. Bonus points for pretending to ‘shoot’ the laser like a spy.
as expected
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.

Brilliant for Balancing Radiators
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.
Simple and useful
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

A good copy.
I use ‘fluke’ IR thermometers at work, but I was unwilling to pay that sort of money for one for home use. By all accounts this is a very good copy of fluke guns. Having compared the two, the only noticeable difference is that the fluke is a bit heavier.
I recommend
About item : I liked it at first sight: small but made of quality materials, the small blue screen on which instantly the temperatures measured at various places and over all, 24 months warranty.About accuracy measurements can not say yet … I hope it will be at the same high level.
Service very good.
Its a great tool
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
Pratical and cool
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!

Brilliant - Does the job
I’m really pathetic but I had so much fun toying about with this when it first arrived. I primarily use this to monitor the temperature levels in my two reptile vivariums but it measure the temperature perfectly! It’s only been a week so give it time but so far, I’m happy!
Perfec
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.
Easy to use and durable
Well packaged and arrived in good time. Very easy to use and durable
It works
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.

Got reptiles? Get this.
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.
Accurate within the limitations explained in the manual
Gives accurate readings when the measuring spot size as explained in the manual is understood, this has nothing to do with, and is much larger than the laser spot size which is only a guide as to where the instrument is aimed. Gives accurate enough results on relatively large non reflective surfaces but not so suitable for smaller objects and especially bright polished metal. This is explained in the manual.
Very useful for cooking
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
seems very good.
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.

This is really good, I use it for seeing the temperatures of generators, exhaust system, water, oil, fuel. it gives me an indication of the temperatures on the engine. A lot of standby generators don’t have temperature sensors on them, and if they do, there is often no gauge to read.
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 🙂
Works as expected
Easy to use and very interesting! Bought for TPE maintenance to ensure not to exceed certain temps, but have found myself using it all over the place. Seems accurate by testing against things of “known” temps — fridge, freezer, ice etc.
A surprisingly addictive and fun practical tool!
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!
Amazing number of uses. Instant results
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.
Perfect for chocolate tempering
I bought this as a pastry student to help me on chocolate tempering. It is a good tool as it helps on having a clear and reliable reading of melting chocolate temperature. It is lite and easy to clean. It is small, so it is easy to carry.
A great piece of ki
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.

Does What It Says
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.
Purchased to replace the last of a series of dial-type oven thermometers used until very recently (both from the same brand but purchased at different times) which invariably need frequent replacement as either the glass or the dial beneath darken with repeated, extensive exposure to heat. The problem is that every oven takes a certain time to reach the set temperature and when there is doubt, the thermometer may need to stay in place during the warm-up and cooking periods as it is then too hot to handle. The “Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 Non-contact Digital Laser IR Infrared Thermometer, -50C ~ 550C ( -58F~1022F ), Instant Read Temperature Gun, Rubber Paint Technology, Yellow/Black” never needs physically to be in the oven but is used externally via the open oven door, and from a short distance from the food or utensil within it, to check the temperature.
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.
Perfect Size
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 well built, does exactly what is says, no complaints
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, and good value.
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).

Amazing value for money
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.
Well Made and seems to be accurate
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.
Amazing value for money
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.

Who’d have thought a digital thermometer could be so entertaining?! Purchased for measuring the temp of 3D printer heat beds, but used for measuring the walls, floors, doors, curtains, clothes, footballs, bananas! You’ll be amazed how many items you’ll suddenly realise you need to know the temperature of! And the wife has found a further use as a cat toy – they just love that laser!
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.
Almost a Bond gadge
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.
