Review: Perfect and Accurate - 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 113Β°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 desertcart 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 Review: Accuracy and quality - Very accurate. Checked it with the wall clock temperature and later checked it with the nest thermostat indoor temperature. .1 difference, that's extremely good! Turns off automatically, easy to read, and quick reading. Comes with a 2 year warranty. Great quality and value. ## Features - NOT FOR HUMAN: Temperature readings from these devices are inanimate objects. for humans or animals will not be correct. For the best accuracy the distance between thermometer and object of measurement should approximately be 14.17 inches - BETTER ACCURACY: The distance to spot ratio is 16:1 meaning the laser grip 800 can accurately measure targets at smaller measurement area with the same distance compared with other thermometers with DSR 12:1 or 8:1 - TARGET QUICKER: Measure surface temperature ranging from -58℉ to 1382℉/ -50℃ to 750℃ you can choose the unit from ℉/℃ A built-in laser gives you the precision to hone in on the exact space you want to measure - ADDED FUNCTIONS: The LCD screen is backlit it also has an auto-off function to extend the battery life and features a low battery indicator so you never accidentally run out of juice (battery included) - VERSATILE DESIGN: Infrared technology makes this thermometer handy to measure surface temperature of various objects. Use it when you are cooking and barbecuing performing auto maintenance doing home repairs and a host of other tasks ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DMI62HM | | Additional Features | Auto Off, Fast Reading System, High Accuracy, Non-Contact, Ultra Clear Screen | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Battery Life | 14 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #59 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #1 in Infrared Thermometers | | Brand Name | Etekcity | | Color | Yellow D:S 16:1 | | Connectivity Technology | digital | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (47,831) | | Display Type | Digital | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00025706347549 | | Immersion Depth | 2 Centimeters | | Included Components | 1 x Lasergrip, 1 x 9V Battery, 1x User Manual | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Length | 7.4 Inches | | Item Type Name | Temperature Gun -58℉ to 1382℉ with 16:1 DTS Ratio, High Laser Temp IR Tool for Cooking, Grill, Pizza Oven, Griddle, Engine, HVAC, Not for Human | | Item Weight | 8.5 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Etekcity | | Model | Lasergrip 800 | | Model Name | Lasergrip 800 | | Number of Batteries | 1 9V batteries required.

I usually use it at fairly close range (wheel bearings, tires, heating pads, etc) so haven't done any tests to determine long range accuracy but because of the physics of infrared I have no reason to believe it would be any less accurate at longer range. However it is rated at 12:1 spot ratio which means at twelve feet it would nominally be measuring the temperature of a one-foot circle and the farther removed you are the large the circle you would be averaging. One reason I chose this model was because its 12:1 rating was tighter than many other brands which were rated at 10:1 and 8:1. I have also used it to detect cold spots in my walls while standing back 8-12 feet and it has done this reliably. **Q: Hi i would like to use this device to measure my cast iron coal stove surface temperature. The range will be 400-700 degrees** A: I use this device for my wood burning stove that's in my outdoor sauna. I aim it at the side of the burning chamber and it works great. I know when it's 600F or higher, that there is a good burn inside. When the temp drops to 500F or lower, I know it's time to add wood! **Q: I am getting a LO reading what does this mean?** A: I would imagine that means your battery us low. I would change the battery and see if that addresses the issue. **Q: Could I use it to measure oven temperature. through the oven glass and check for variation? i.e. front, back, middle and check for temp/variation?** A: Rather than tell you "I don't know", I will tell you what I think the answer is. I think that because the glass gets hot it will skew the readings. You may get just the temp of the glass and no internal temp or an average of the two. Do you know this instrument only reads radiated heat? It can't see air so it simply Looks through the air without feeling any hot or cold.Your question has peaked my interest - - - - - "To the kitchen men! Turm the oven on. There's some experimenting to do!" I'll add some more to this when I have the answer. ; ^)In a word, the answer is - - - "No" my oven has double glass the interior glass was 450Β° while the exterior glass was only 75Β° the ambient room temperate was 68Β°.
