5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Instant Thermometer For Just About Everything
This device might just be the best portable thermometer ever. It's small and pocketable and will tell you the temperature of almost any surface in just one second. No need to reach equilibrium temperature.

Go outside and point at a wall that's been in the shade or in the sun and you have the range at that moment. Pointing it a large wall from across the...

1.0 out of 5 stars Spend the extra bucks on a better model
I bought this because the price was right however, you get what you pay for. You basically have to touch the object you're reading and even then it gives varied readings. On the positive side it's tiny and quick.

This device might just be the best portable thermometer ever. It's small and pocketable and will tell you the temperature of almost any surface in just one second. No need to reach equilibrium temperature.

Go outside and point at a wall that's been in the shade or in the sun and you have the range at that moment. Pointing it a large wall from across the street gives you a quick average. Point it a surface up close and you can actually do a pretty good temperature mapping , like what is the hot or cold spot on your computer, air conditioner, etc. Don't point it at the sky unless you want to know that it's really, really cold up there. :-)

I take it with me everywhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great item - expensive shipping..., November 2, 2008

This review is from: Compact Infrared Thermometer
This is the best infrared thermometer for kitchen use, based on it's compact size and the temperature range. Fit's very neatly in a drawer or along side the stove and not nearly as cumbersome as the gun-style infrareds available.

Word of warning - the item is no bigger than a minute, but the shipping costs for this item was over 30% of the total cost when I order it. It was worth the price of shipping to get the compact size for me, but not all may agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good thermometer for the money, March 15, 2011

This review is from: Compact Infrared Thermometer
I gave this to my wife because she likes to cook. Very useful to measure the temp of foods. She acually had a lot of fun with it pointing it at objects outside in the winter. I'm sure there are many creative uses for this device.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work on Smurfs or Fraggles., October 12, 2008

This review is from: Compact Infrared Thermometer
During my attempt to gage the temperature of a Smurf, the device was unable to return an accurate reading. Otherwise, this is a wonderfully made product with a very acurate read.

Buy this. It is good. Don't measure Smurfs or Fraggles.
