Etekcity Infrared Thermometer, -50°C~610°C(-58°F~1130°F), Non-Contact Digital Laser Temperature Gun with LCD Display,for Cooking/Pizza/Oven/Refrigerator (Not for Human)

Just point and pull the trigger, the little red dot appears instantly and tells the temperature in centigrade or fahrenheit, very simple to choose between the two. No on off switch needed, when you release the trigger it turns off a few seconds later so the battery should last well.One rather odd and pointless feature is the thin film in the battery compartment that is designed to stop the battery contacting until removed but this unit has a 9v battery (included) which is seperately film wrapped and has to be manually connected anyway.A very good temperature reader, good price and it works very well.Highly recommended but apparently not suitable for taking forehead temperatures as the instructions are very clear it should not be pointed at people or animals so if covid is your concern look elsewhere.

I bought this to measure the temperature of a nitro engine in a radio control car. It is brilliant! Much cheaper than the big brand alternatives but still works really well. It is accurate (I’ve tested it against boiling water etc) and feels well made. The laser allows you to pinpoint where the temperature is taken and this feature can be turned on or off as required. It will measure in Celsius or Fahrenheit and everything is so easy. Just point and pull the trigger. Need the laser just press a button and it will work next time you pull the trigger. Want F instead of C, just press another button and it’ll change the scale. Want the display to be backlit, then just press the appropriate button and it’ll do that. It really does tick every box - value, accurate and easy to use. I really couldn’t improve it in anyway!

Very pleased with this. I'd wanted one since I saw Heston Blumenthal use one in his 'In Search of Perfection' TV series in 2006, but prices were much higher then - something to do with patents, I imagine. I don't operate on his plane but I do like to know as much as possible about the environment I'm cooking in, and temperature is a critical parameter. I now know that my gas oven really can - as its maker claims - achieve 300'C, and that my fridge could do with being a little colder. It really does help with managing cooking temperatures - far more than the crude controls on the appliance itself can do - and I'm looking forward to using it outside once barbecue season returns.What it isn't, of course, is a replacement for a clinical thermometer - not least because it contains a laser pointer and pointing that at a person (even though it can be switched off) is a no-no.It doesn't come with a case, but mine fits neatly into an old airline toiletry kit purse. As a bonus, the plastic surface is nicely tactile - difficult to describe but almost velvety while still being hard; very pleasant to hold. And the packaging comes with a space for the 9V battery that is alarmingly empty. Fear not; the battery is already in the handle, but it's a snug fit, so connecting it and closing the compartment took a bit of fiddling.Small criticisms, though, of a useful and sensibly priced little instrument.

A little miffed my boss wouldn't allow me to put the brand name probes on expenses, he recommended this one instead!Actually surprised how easy to use this is, the display is clear, the laser pointer works (the cat loves it). Temperature readings aren't dead accurate, they never are on these things, even calibrated models.Try to be around a meter away from the object and hold in position for 5 or more seconds for best results. I use this for reference / comparison only, so don't be worried if you're taking a car temperature for example and a reads a little out, however it is within a few degrees at temperatures below 100c a good way out above that on heating elements etc, but as long as you know, you can work with it and compares well with brands more than 10 x the cost.

Excellent piece of kit for the price. I purchased in order to balance my radiators and thought a non contact digital thermometer would be ideal. It arrived very quickly and was pleasantly surprised to find that the 9v battery was included (we all know how expensive these can be). Set up was instant, just plug in the battery and you are good to go! It has a nice comfortable grip and an easy to read display. The device worked perfectly, giving instant accurate readings every time. Ok these were all the positives, now let’s look at the negatives. As I mentioned I ordered for my radiators, but this is so much fun! I’ve taken the temp of my hand, mouth, foot, bath water, tea, coffee, sofa (in the sun), sofa (not in the sun), hob flame, hot tap, cold tap, cats fur, cats ear, cats foot, cats nose. I tell my wife the temperature of her cup of tea every time I make one. I’ve not yet taken the temp of the radiators which was the reason for my original purchase. It’s addictive thinking of things to take a reading from. But in all seriousness, great product I would high recommend.

Works perfectly.
