800 Infrared Thermometer

I purchased the laser grip 1080. It arrived in a very simple blister pack, which includes battery. It is very soft to the touch and comfortable. This particular model has three buttons, the display can be dark or light, the laser can be on or off and still operate and you can change from Celsius to Fahrenheit from a push of button. I was unsure about the unit operating within specs, because of the price being so reasonable. At just under $20, it was a good deal. It works accurately and how is able to determine that, was using other equipment that I know keeps temperatures accurately. I have two computer screens as an example, one is a newer forte screen the other one is an older 1080 P. I know the 1080 P runs a little bit warmer. And the accuracy was incredible. I also have done water temperatures to test them using thermometers and they worked exactly the same as they should with accurate readings. I found the following services worked just fine. Metal, fire, water, plastic, air, walls, and glass were all tested and were very accurate. I like the fact that this has a decimal point readout. As example it can read a temperature of 78.2 rather than just 78. I found the accuracy on the decimal was also dead on. I am unsure about the negative reviews that I've seen on this product, because I found it worked completely fine, and was impressed with its overall quality. I have yet to use it outside in automotive or areas such as water pipes outside etc. But having tested other services I presume it would very accurate. Another test I did is I have my water heater thermostat set to 113°F. The water out of the water faucet, was 112.3. Which is probably very accurate being water will cool slightly in the external pipes, of the water faucet. Overall I can recommend purchasing this item, it works well simple to use, and settings are very clear as well as the readout. I like the idea that you can turn off the laser light as well as the display light if you wanted to. Having pushed a touch in an instant Celsius to Fahrenheit is a the added bonus for someone wanting to know both degrees settings. How long it will last will will we will see, as I just purchased this three days ago on Amazon prime for 18.99 if you need something that's accurate enough to be practical when this works I cannot say it is scientifically accurate that do not have those type of testers to his insurer the decimal point degrees are accurate. But I can say the plus side of the decimal point, seems to be extremely accurate. And for general use and testing it should work fine. I am tempted to buy the other models just to see what the differences are and how they operate, I may do that in the future if so I will update this review

I use this to monitor the temperature of my Blackstone grill, large iron skillet, and pavement during dog walks. It has been a huge benefit to grilling on the flat top, as that grill can get very hot in a hurry. It's good quality and pretty accurate.

Easy to use for taking temps for chocolate. Good deal for the price. Reliable.

I purchased this thermometer in May of 2023 and have used it regularly for a variety of scenarios, including: the temperature of my home’s interior ; my car’s interior ( which in Arizona gets boiling hot, trust thou me!) my cooking skillet surfaces; my indoor air conditioner returns, and my garage. While the accuracy of the meter is good, it feels rather cheaply made, and the trigger pull is short- traveled and spongy. The blue light display is too dim for my liking, but the normal daytime display is okay. To its credit, it features a Celsius/Fahrenheit selector, laser on/off selector, and light on/off selector on the front display panel. All in all, it’s an okay thermometer for around $22, but I have replaced it with a Klein Tools model, which I just purchased and will review after I put it through its paces.

The product seems to work well enough, when aimed at a charging battery that is putting off heat it shows around 100 F, when aimed at a cool aluminum cup with a black painted surface it shows about 70 degrees (It felt cooler then 70, but that could have to do with the emissivity of the surface). When aimed at concrete outside when the temp on my phone is 81 degrees the device reads about 80.9 degrees. One thing to keep in mind with these devices, they are sensitive to emissivity which I believe is basically how reflective the surface is, or something like that. This device has settings that your supposed to adjust based on what that number is for that surface. If you don't adjust that then the readings may be less accurate. Check the user guide for some tables that provide some numbers for common surfaces. Another thing to keep in mind is that this will only read the surface temperature, so if you read the temperature of a liquid, it could be significantly hotter or cooler below the surface. As far as accuracy, well I can't speak for that because I don't have any way to actually test the accuracy, but I gave you guys some numbers above to help you judge for yourself. It seems to be accurate in some situations but not in other situations, I have no doubt this has to do with the fact that I made no attempt at actually adjusting the device for the various surfaces I tested it on. So if you get the device and it seems inaccurate, perhaps try to adjust for the emissivity of the surface before giving it a bad review...because I doubt expensive versions of this are immune to that issue.

Excellent item! Finding so many uses! Highly recommend- you need one, you’ll see!

I'm suprised at how good this thing works considering how much it cost. Works great every time. I check engine and transmission temps on my boat and it's spot on.

Pretty cool device. It works well keeps me from burning my fingers. Easy to use I recommend it.

great product - great price - speedy delivery

Ottimo prodotto in linea con i dati tecnici. Materiali e fattura buoni. Semplicità d'uso e precisione di misura abbastanza realistica (comparato con termometro professionale). Spedizione veloce ed imballo robusto. Venditore molto cortese (ha inviato tramite mail le istruzioni in italiano). Consigliato.

Highly recommended really functional accurate Very helpful

Cheap and works as expected. Nice tool to have..

This is a long term review as this was bought May 2018 and used dozens of times since. I needed a quick and easy multi temperature zone thermometer. Yes, I also said " multi temperature zone ". By this I mean in my own way...something that can take an accurate reading of subzero temperatures as well not just a + value. Many thermometers do +C well, some do –C well but I’ve not found many that do BOTH well. First off, this works absolutely perfect for such things as baking bread, making various candies ( hard candy is my family’s favorite ), cooking on the 'ol BBQ but I also needed something that can handle -40C and since this is rated to -50C, I found this to be perfect for my needs. In the past I have helped a couple people with their deep freezers, ones that are cooler than most standard home freezers. We're looking at - 30 range and this is 100% spot on for my purpose. A soft comfy grip, long running life as it's easy on batteries, accurate results, portable and robust, backlit, change to C or F, a hold feature...there is absolutely nothing that I don't like. While I don't have a thermal IR camera I have found this can give a bit of help in such a regard. In a new home I had used this during this past winter to find cold spots along the basement joists where the builder had not insulated properly. After finding these trouble spots and fixing them, another use of this laser thermometer and all was corrected. Also this can very easily be used as a learning instrument for appropriate aged children. Since this is visual and the quickness of the reading I've found it quite good for teaching temperature differences. I will 110% recommend this to absolutely anyone. Helpful, is how I hope you find my review
