Etekcity Digital Thermometer Laser Infrared Temperature Gun Lasergrip 1080

reliable machine, I had to use it because the knob on my stove went out and I didn't know what temperature I had my oven on, so instead of buying a new oven and finding the cracked knob for this old stove i use this temperature to gauge my oven and it works perfectly I am baking bread again

Temperature readings are accurate, and work well for the specific purpose for which I purchased it (reading temperatures of foods cooking in pots and pans), as well as checking temps in refrigerators and freezers. As mentioned in other reviews, the optimal readings are taken at a distance of one foot or less, while focusing on a spot about the diameter of a nickle. However, readings taken from a longer distance seem accurate as well as long as you are pointing the laser beam at a large enough surface area like a wall, ceiling, window, etc. My only disappointment is that, contrary to my hope when purchasing, the laser dot does NOT scare marauding squirrels away from our bird feeder. Also, don't buy this if you are planning on using it to check the body temperatures of humans/animals. I highly recommend this item for its intended putposes, as well as the fact that it's a lot of fun to play with.

My husband loves this. This is an everyday use for him. He just aim it at whatever he wants to test the temperature of and it shows on a little window on the back of this. It has a trigger and is easy to hold. You just push a the button and the temperature is shown. It even will light up in blue the temperature if you push another button when it's too dark to see the reading. I can't believe how well this works and how fun it is to use for my husband. My husband is going around temperature checking everything, He checked the oven temperature to see if it's the right temperature, the temperature of the pool water, the A/C and so on. Overall this is the best on the market and valued just right. Affordable,reliable and accurate. Once again Etekcity has made another top of the line product!

This thermometer is rugged and durable, making it perfect for any application. The directions are clear and precise. I figured out how to use it the first time! The temperatures are accurate and it responds to a change quickly. The LCD backlight makes it easy to read in any environment. The distance ratio is perfect. I've had a lot of fun getting used to this thermometer and I know it is going to be perfect for all of my uses.

I had problems with keeping my house cool . the ac was running to much to keep my house cool, I bought this laser gun and it pin pointed out the hot spots in my walls , and also check my heat and ac ducts . so I added some insulation in those places and it made a big difference for me and my power bill . the laser is great you just point it and you get a instant read up to 12 feet away, and the price is right......

I ordered this through Walmart from Etekcity and the shipping time was really quick. Ordered on Friday 6/26 and received on Monday 6/29...Really Fast. The unit is a little smaller that my former Raytek ST but it does fit in your hand well and being smaller allows to better get into tight areas. I use one of these to check the temperature of the bearing end of shafts in my round hay baler more than anything else and this unit is perfect for this due to it's size and accuracy. The unit feels solid and well built and is user friendly with all of the option buttons being easy to reach with your thumb while holding it. If you feel that you need a non-contact infrared thermometer then I think you will be happy with this one. Oh and as a plus, it comes with a 2 year warranty from Etekcity and the price is excellent.

This is not my first IR temperature device but it is probably the best I have ever held and used. The other one I have that cost four times as much as this one reads properly but you have to get very close to a object, sometimes in inches to get a good reading and hold the button down and look at the screen. On this model I am able to do the same measurements from over six feet away and blindly with the hold function it has. The screen is nice and bright and easy to read and the grip has a nice rubbery feel to it. My only complaint would be the battery compartment is extremely tight so be careful not to break the connector putting in the battery. Overall I am quite pleased with this and it will be a top drawer item in my toolbox for years to come.

Excellent product for the money you can't beat it works really well easy to operate great purchase

This handy product gives accurate readings +2-2 as it states. I tested it around the house and found it registering in this range compared to other digital readouts that I have monitoring the temperature. I tested the temperature of my ac vents and it recorded an identical temperature to the temperature recorded by the ac technician with his laser thermometer. It is very simple to use and comes complete with a handy carry case that can be mounted on a belt for easy carrying. The device comes complete with battery also. I would recommend this product as its very inexpensive and provides accurate temperatures readings for home use.

I bought this thermometer to use for handmade soap making and candle making. I like this thermometer because I don't have to insert a thermometer into liquids to get a reading (which makes it a safer choice than a traditional metal thermometer). What I don't like about this thermometer is that it is not an instant-read thermometer. To be fair, I don't know if an instant-read laser thermometer even exists. It will give you a quick reading, but you have to hold the trigger for awhile to get an accurate temperature. I bought this thermometer because this brand was recommended by other soap makers. I don't know if a more expensive model would give a quicker reading. When I tried to compare the different models before purchasing, the only major difference I could tell was how high or low of a temperature reading it would give. The price was right and I am not disappointed that I bought it. If a quicker response time is desirable, I'd compare it with the more expensive models before buying.
