Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ UEi Test Instruments PDT650: Compact Folding Pocket Digital Thermometer - Accurate & Convenient Temperature Reading (Yellow) by Kev Mills

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Maybe I'm wrong: Digital thermometers

This is a good compact thermometer and the magnetic strips on the back are a good idea, but the readings are far from normal and keep bouncing around. To make matters worse, there's no way to calibrate it. I'm comparing it to a Fieldpiece SPK2 (which is very similar and much better quality) and a Fluke meter with a probe, so it's probably considered acceptable given the lower cost. After looking at a picture showing the exposed thermocouple wires, I'm wondering if mine was soldered incorrectly at the factory. I will most likely be returning it to Revain or contacting the company to see if they support their warranty claims.

Pros
  • Auto shut off
Cons
  • unreliable
