Review on ANNMETER AN-1800 Digital Infrared Thermometer - Handheld High Temperature Pyrometer Gun for Non-Contact Measuring (-58~3,272℉), 50:1 IR Laser Gauge for HVAC, Kiln, Cooking - NOT for Human Temperature by Kevin Apriando

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Should be significantly better for the price.

Was looking forward to this I had so many things to use it for but unfortunately it's not the best. It just feels cheap in the hand. The screen doesn't look as good as the photos here, not even close. Also, the screen is often difficult to read, you have to tilt it properly, and often the screen goes dark when you pull the trigger. Why, how exactly, not even close. First you need to get it closer to the object, say a foot or less, to get an accurate reading. Even then, it changes every time you pull the trigger. The instructions are poorly copied, a small paper booklet with small text, quite difficult to read. I wouldn't trust this for any accurate temperature readings. Pretty bad for this price range.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...
