I don't have this particular brand name, but it looks identical to the one I purchased from another online vendor. On my unit, the smaller of the two openings on the front surface emits the red laser dot when the trigger is pressed in addition to taking the temperature measurement. I've used my to check the output of my A/C registers in comparison to the air temperature at the return grill, to check for the A/C's efficiency in cooling. It has also helped me track down drafts/air leaks in an effort to improve the insulation efficiency of my home.

The yellow "Caution" label on the side of the unit in the product pictures says it has a Class 1 Laser. They do need a better product description.

I have never tried to use it to measure body temperature since the skin is several degrees colder than the body. It certainly would measure the temperature. We have used it on our fish tanks and it says 78° just like the thermometer in the tank.

It will measure the skin surface temperature on the part or the body where it's pointed, not the body's core temperature, so it would not be reliable for measuring a fever or hypothermia.

I have one from a Home Improvement store. When I point it in my freezer it reads -199 degrees. is this accurate for extremely cold readings? I didn't notice the claimed temp range.

BEST ANSWER: Measuring the temperature of any object or surface is simple and easy using this digital infrared thermometer. Simply aim the thermometer at the surface or object you want to measure and press the button. It will then display the result on the LCD screen. It measures temperatures from -58.0 ~ +1022.0°F (-50.0 ~ +550.0°C) with ±2% or ±2°C accuracy and 0.1° resolution. It is perfect for cooking, home repairs, and auto maintenance.

The one I received/purchased from monoprice reads into the negative range when pointed into my freezer. Freezer is set at zero. Most items read between -1 and +2 degreeze. Probably well within a 1 degree accuracy etc.

Is the emissivity adjustable?
G R L
on Sep 10, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Agree with previous answer, no emissivity adjustment that I'm aware of.
In practice, this unit does a good job on a variety of materials/surfaces, though. And there are certain tricks you can use to adjust emissivity of object itself (e.g. light dusting of paint, or I've even heard of people using stick-type deodorant... presumably with TiO in it to get some opacity). That may or may not be practical, depending on exactly what it is you're trying to measure.

I do not believe so, and haven't seen any setting for that. None of the thermal cameras and thermometers I've used had such an adjustment--I assume that's the primary reason for the limited accuracy.

Can it cause eye damage?

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
This would use a laser to measure heat so it would be possible to damage your eye if you were to stare into the laser for too long.

What disappointed me was you could not take body temp with it. Only good to take surface temp.

Works great. Tells temp of foods in microwave
The usefulness in the kitchen is amazing. The F to C switch is easy, and the laser dot is a toggle on and off. Tells me if the food I warmed or cooked in the microwave is hot enough.

Good product-good price-display could be brighter
This is a good product for a good price. I cheched the accuracy with a Thermapen meat thermometer. It was very accurate. I only have one negative comment. The backlight on the display could be a little brighter. Havig said that, a brighter light would shorten battery life.

Is the AC on?
I bought this on a whim because I had always wanted one of these devices and the price was low. I have had it for a few weeks, so far it was worked perfectly. Last night I checked the temperature of my skillet before throwing my steaks in, 584 degrees surface temperature came up. I have checked my heating vents, water temperature, cat's temperature, forehead temperature, wife's butt, etc etc... I get pretty consistent readings from most everything.

Excellent value!
Much more compact than expected, but that doesn’t affect its usability at all. Battery compartment was a little tricky to open and battery wires could be 5 mm longer, but it came with its own 9 volt battery and it functions reliably. I have nothing to calibrate it with, but it’s definitely accurate enough for my uses. Handy to have and excellent value for money!
