Review on Etekcity Infrared Thermometer 1080, Non-Contact Temperature Gun for Cooking & Home Repairs, Digital Laser IR Temp Gauge, Surface Measuring, -58 to 1022℉, -50 to 550℃, Yellow by Adam Johnson

This thermometer really works and the dual laser is worth the extra money you pay for it. With two lasers you can not only align the thermometer but also measure the distance/spot size (imagine a circle between two laser spots) so you know exactly what area you are averaging. (The documentation and handy label on the device recommend a distance of 14 inches for best results). I compared the readings with other thermometers and found that this one is very accurate. At less than $20, it seems like a much more expensive instrument because the parts are just right. Pull the trigger and there's just under a second delay while the device calibrates; then the lasers and lighting are turned on. The display shows the current spot temperature plus the maximum value for that session. The buttons are in a good place; You can turn off the lasers or the screen backlight when you don't need them (and those settings are saved!), and the display lasts exactly as long as it lasts after you let go of the trigger. Just walking around the house and taking the temperature of ordinary things is enlightening: human skin's temperature ranges from 87-90F, coffee from a single-flow brewery just over 140F. It's great that it works instantly and there's nothing to clean after each measurement. Knowing these temperatures can help you spot problems (AC not cold enough? Fridge at the right temperature? What temperature is "6" on the stove?.
