I did a lot of web research on infrared thermometers, visited 3 manufacturers’ web sites, and saw the Fluke 62 at Fry’s before buying this Actron CP7875 (on eBay). Chose it because of lowest price and rated accurate enough for my needs (+/-2%). Initially wanted a laser but didn’t want my kid playing with lasers.

Smaller than I expected, 428F, get a Raytek or Fluke. Note that Fluke owns Raytek (see Fluke web site).

For pinpoint accuracy, get something else. However for everyday use, this little gadget is great. It’s easy to use and takes up virtually no space. Expect a three or four degree variance – it usually registers low.

This is a 5 star little gizmo for the gadget freaks among us.

For anyone else a 3 or 4.

You will quickly run out of things to measure around the house — but it’s fun anyway.

Do be advised that for any consistent reading you must hold this at a precise distance from your target or the reading will vary greatly. Not a defect — but just a fact of measurement.

A lot cheaper than other alternatives, probably because it’s a lot smaller and not as fine a measuring tool. Seems useful for most applications: I wanted to use it for cooking and since it maxes out at 425 degrees that can be limiting. On the plus side, it’s really easy to carry around in the toolbox.

There is a growing number of these gadgets out there. This one works as it was promised and is a convenient tool (and toy) for the gadgeteer. How much colder are the single pane windows than than the double panes? How cold is that floor in the bathroom? The speed at which you can make measurements is great. This unit is not as accurate as the precision it provides, but good enough. Incidentally, soon after it arrived I picked up “A Matter of Degrees” by Gino Segre at the county library – check it out.
