Had this for about a week now, and it works well. Temporal response ~1sec. Digits settle quickly, with 0.1'F differential resolution (not accuracy) which is very handy for heat leak detection. The narrow 12:1 beam helps too. The red laser spot was co-aligned to the IR field-of-view, despite it not being centered within the package (so trust the spot, not your intuition).




BATTERY DOOR SOLUTION: First slide the door down all the way until it reaches the stops (about 2mm), then raise the back end to open the compartment. I have done this a number of times to confirm that it does indeed open and close repeatedly - no duct tape required!


After reading reviews of various IR thermometers I ordered the Kintrex model IRT0412, it has performed perfectly and met all of my needs. I would recommend this to friends and family alike.




It's easy enough to use, and probably accurate, but don't EVER drop it...not even in the case. The display broke on mine while trying to get the battery cover off, which is not the greatest design. I guess I must have gripped it too much. If it can't take that, I sure wouldn't let it hit the ground. The laser works great for cats though...




The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the absolute temperature may be off by a few degrees, but it seems fine for telling the relative temperature difference in two different places. A great use is pointing it at ceiling air conditioning grilles and the air conditioning return grille. The difference gives a quick indication of how your A/C unit is working, and you don't have to climb up a ladder and wait for a reading, as you would with an old bulb thermometer. Check your soup temperature without having to find a clean thermometer. Compare temperatures of exterior walls to see where insulation is needed.






This is one of those things that you didn't know that you needed until you had it. I have used it in my RV to check tire temperatures at rest stops on long trips, to check and control frying oil temperatures at home, heater and air conditioner outlet air temperatures, etc.





This thermometer does not only appear to be very accurate for around the house stuff but is also fun to platy with. I use it for about anything and everything you can think of including, oven temperature, all around the house room temperatures, AC vent air, freezer and refrigerator . You point it squeeze the trigger and you got it. What a fun and necessary toy




This thermometer is well built and is very easy to use. Just point and click, the reading is instant. I've used it to troubleshoot my HVAC system, measuring the temperature of the air coming out from the registers. I also used it measure draft from doors and windows. Want to know how hot your BBQ grill is, just point and click. How hot is the oil in the pot, just point and click, and no clean up required. Should have bought this ages ago.

  3. The Forehead and Surface Infrared Thermometer from SantaMedical is specially designed to obtain the most accurate temperature readings of tear ducts or the forehead. The temperature on the forehead reads from 1” to 4” away. The temperature is displayed on the LCD screen and it has a backlight for enabling the night time usage and it can even display results in total darkness. The thermometer features the audio alarm for alerting whenever the person is suffering from the high temperature.
