Helect (NOT for Human) Infrared Thermometer, Non-Contact Digital Laser Temperature Gun -58°F to 1022°F (-50°C to 550°C) with LCD Display

Since we are in a heat spell I thought I check on how our air conditioning is doing. Since my intake is so high we decided for the convenience we would purchase the Helect Non-Contact Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer. And boy are we pleased. Read on for our observations when using the Helect Thermometer. -- ACCURATE: I read the difference between the AC intake and output should be a minimum of 14 deg F. At first I drug the ladder in the house, reached as high as I could to tape a analog thermometer on the intake and then the same thing on the output vent. We later compared those readings to the Helect Thermometer and saw the same temperature readings. We measured at other locations where a thermoter was already present such as the house thermostat, outside thermometer and great, we got the same readings everywhere! -- LONG REACH: What a convenience to stand on the floor, point the thermoter whereever you need and get an accurate reading. In our case we made measurements up to 25ft away and found them to be accurate. -- LOVE THE LASER: The laser is bright and easy to find, especially inside and really essential to be able to pinpoint the spot on which you need to measure. -- COULDN'T BE EASIER TO USE: Just point, pull the trigger, position the laser dot on the area to measure and within 1 second you have a reading. When the trigger is held down the reading will continue to reflect the spot where the laser is, even when moving it side to side to make comparisons. CONCLUSION: Could be simpler to use and amazingly accurate. What a great value for such an incredible convenience!

Works as described and has lasted me this whole time since it was purchased without needing new batteries or having issues at all. Accurate temp reads

I bought the temp gun for my brother. He may not really need it much, except he earns a lot more than me, so what was I going to buy him? He sometimes grills stuff outdoors. I have another one that I bought for myself previously. I pointed it at some equipment I was trying to fix to see if part of it was overheating, and it seems like no part of it was overheating to a degree that would indicate damage. So it served its purpose just fine. It isn't complicated to use and it doesn't use up the battery unnecessarily. It can easily switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back. It has an LCD readout I believe, to show the temperature digitally. It takes a reading very quickly so I just have to turn it on and point it. I measured inside my freezer and it showed something like 20 degrees Fahrenheit just as I expect. I pointed it at a spot on the gas stovetop right over where the pilot light is burning and I think I recall it read something like 170 F or 200 F. I know that spot burns if I touch it so it made a lot of sense. I believe it's fairly accurate but stars are a stupid system for rating the accuracy of a temperature gun. Maybe it means you can point it at the night sky and it can count the number of stars you are pointing it at! LOL!

This infrared heat sensor seems to work fine. Purchased to check a grinding type noise from my front SUV wheel. Tried to compare temperatures between other wheels as well as areas around the wheel. Couldn't find any significant difference. Might be just me and need a learning curve. One thing I don't care for is that you need to remove the battery when not in use for a while. I expect to use this tool very sporadically, so battery needs to be removed.

Great price point, good for reading temps on pans, pots, or other kitchen items. I use it a lot when I'm making tea, to ensure that my water isn't too hot or cold for the type of tea I'm brewing. Super easy to use and see the temperatures. Seems accurate enough - I don't do any deep frying so I can't speak to the accuracy of fry oil temps. Is also a good thing to have when you're wondering if a pot or pan is cool enough to touch, so there's a safety component. I've burned my hands way too many times on my pressure cooker, trying to get the pot out for cleaning, only to find out it's still crazy hot. Pro tip: if you have cats who like laser lights, they will come running when they hear the beep thinking it's play time. Don't aim this on the floor unless you want your cats slamming into you while you're making dinner trying to get the dot!

The device will get you within 5 degrees of the true temperature which will work for most occasions that you need this for. This is not good for testing people nor is it good for when you need something super accurate; however, it is not meant to be the end all, be all device for the price. It is super easy to use, mostly accurate, and it works like a charm. For the price, it is the best you will get. If you need something completely accurate, you will need to pay more. I use it for my reptile tanks and I just need it within a few degrees and this device has made it easy. My reptiles are thriving, all thanks to this device! It should be noted that it will change quickly on you since it can distinguish temperature quickly so do not think the device is really inaccurate.

Cheap, easy to use and gets you a temperature reading in the ballpark, depending on what you're using it for. I used this to measure the temp of the contents of a slow cooker whose settings are just "high" "low" or "warm." I did measure other objects indoors and outdoors whose temperatures I was pretty sure about, and this came pretty close every time. So I'm confident in its relative accuracy.

Worked great for my sugar melting for my cake decorating. I used it to reheat my pan to the temp I knew to be flexible without too melted after working with the sugar a while. I don’t know if the temperature was on point but it was consistent when I used it. We tested it around the house and it seemed to be around the average of what my thermostat was set at. It is lightweight so maybe if you’re rough or drop it hard enough it might crack but I dropped it when I stayed up doing the cake and it didn’t break. Maybe got lucky maybe it’s more resilient. I’m hoping for the latter with my household. ***UPDATE**** Been almost a year and my kids have played with this thing more than their toys. Still works. It’s been dropped and picked up. I still don’t know if the temp is actually fully correct but it is consistent so that if you know like in sugar work you’re in the neighborhood of 220° or whatever you use then you can visibly see the consistency and work with it and then retemp it to see what temp is your preferred temp. Then you can reheat and reheat and reheat to that found temp and it will be the same every time. My kids are 3&6 so they aren’t the most careful with things either. If this one ever breaks or quits working I will have no issue buying the exact same product again.
