Etekcity Infrared Thermometer 1022D (Not for Human) Dual Laser Temperature Gun Non-contact-58℉~1022℉ (-50℃ ~ 550℃) with Adjustable Emissivity & Max Measure, Standard Size, Blue & Gray

This thermometer really works, and the dual laser is worth the few extra dollars you'll spend for it. By using two lasers, you can not only aim the thermometer but also gauge the distance/spot size (imagine a circle sandwiched between the two laser dots) so you know exactly how much area you're averaging. (Documentation and a handy label on the unit recommend a distance of 14 inches for the best result). I tested against other thermometers and found this one to be very accurate. For less than $20 it feels like a much more expensive instrument because the details are "just right". Pull the trigger and there's a delay of just under a second while the device calibrates; then the lasers and backlight come on. The display shows the current spot temperature plus the maximum so far for that session. Buttons are in a good place; you can turn off the lasers or screen backlight if you don't need them (and those settings are remembered!), and the display holds for just the right amount of time after you release the trigger. It's educational to just walk around your house and measure the temperature of ordinary things: a human's skin temperature runs around 87-90F, coffee from a single-pot brewer just over 140F. It's great that it's instantaneous and there's nothing to clean after each measurement. Once you know these temperatures you'd be able to spot issues (air conditioning not cold enough? Refrigerator at the right temperature? What temperature is "6" on the stove?.

Like many people I have begun to explore the many varieties of cuisines that we are exposed to on television and the newspapers. I had pretty much stuck close to recipes where keeping an eye on the food itself is every bit as important as the heat of the burners or the oven. But a few months ago, I began to try my hand at baking. Yeast breads and fruit breads, muffins and cornbread require very specific temperatures and I was not getting it with my oven. After a maintenance man assured me that not only was my oven indeed heating to as much as 40 degrees hotter than what the dial was telling me, he said that unless I was willing to spend a whole lot of money, being able to control the temperature of my oven for baking was going to be a challenge in itself. So I decided to on his recommendation invest in this Etekcity Infrared Thermometer so that I can readily see what kinds of adjustments I need to make on the fly. I take several measurements as I adjust my oven dial temperature until I'm at the specified point. Much like a photographer, I can make notes of the temperature required and how to set my oven appropriately. Yes, it takes a little discipline to bake, but it's well worth it and so is the investment I made in this thermometer. It's easy to use and the results are immediate. It's a best seller on Amazon for good reason. I recommend it.

was DOA. needed a new battery. works now as expected

Pros: Auto turn-off After measuring the temp., will hold the temp. number after releasing the trigger. Display lights up automatically in the dark. Battery included Excellent detailed English instructions and illustrations included Cons: No way to attach a lanyard or having a way to "hang" this unit if needed. A simple hole at the base of the handle would be nice. After removing the plastic around the 9 volt battery I was able to connect the battery and the unit became operational right away. Understanding how to obtain a correct measurement is necessary in-order to have more accurate readings. When the unit is activated, two red dots (laser) will show. Move the unit toward or away from the object being measured (about 14 inches) until the two red dots become one red dot. Read this measurement. I found focusing on obtaining the "one red dot" and then looking at my measurement obtained the best readings with this unit. After releasing the trigger and the red dot goes away, the measurement will remain displayed for about 15 sec. before auto-turning off. So, focus on obtaining the one red dot, release the trigger, then read the display for the temp. obtained. Overall, a very excellent unit, well constructed and expect to be using it for a very long time. I would recommend this unit.

This is a great product. The plastics feel very high quality, and have a great texture and good feel in the hand. It gets a reading instantly, and appears to be accurate to within a degree, at least when compared with other thermometers I have. Moving it around to different surfaces, it seems to get a new reading in about 3/4 second. It's dead simple to use; just pull the trigger and it automatically turns on and gets a reading, then turns off after 15 seconds. The screen is very easy to read, and the controls are very simple, but you won't need them often anyway. This thing feels much more expensive than the price would lead you to believe, and I couldn't be happier with it. As an added bonus, my cats love the dual laser pointers.

I compared it with a Raytek MiniTemp and a General IRT207. The Etekcity 1022D had the best temperature readings. I need the thermometer to quickly check pool temperatures outside and a/c vents inside. For the pool I included a non-digital thermometer to compare. It had 90F. My pool heat pump also shows 90F and the Etekcity showed 90F. The "General Tools" IRT207 showed 88, the Raytek 92. Inside the house, I had similar results. Due to the nature of these units, there are fluctuations. In addition to accurate measurements, I like the two laser beam idea; very nice to use. Being able to very easily adjust the emissivity value is great feature, too; good and easy explanation as well. I am VERY happy with the Etekcity Lasergrip 1022D and highly recommend it.

I've become a pandemic stay-at-home cook for my family and have gradually expanded my arsenal of kitchen tools. I'm been somewhat frustrated by temperature variations between my different skillets (non-stick, cast iron, stainless steel) and thought I'd try this out. The bottom line is that it's extremely easy to use (the dual laser beams really work) and it's quite educational in terms of knowing more precisely what's going on in the pan (at least temperature wise). Has it transformed my cooking? Not really, but I've no regrets and continue to practice with it each time I pre-heat a pan!

Etekcity Line of Lasergrip IR Themometers ( 1022D, 800, & 630) compared to Klein IR1000 I am not a Professional HVAC or auto mechanic but I do a lot of work myself on my home and vehicles.. An IR thermometer has many uses I bought this as a homeowner to verify hot/cold spots around my home. Also to measure temperature differences between my HVAC supply/ return vents. Also will be using it when grilling/smoking or cooking. My son & I like to build PCs and an IR thermometer comes in handy, the more i played with it the more uses i found..I wanted a tool that was moderately priced and performed well for my use. I decided I would go with Etekcity Line IR thermometer based on Amazon Best seller Etekcity 774 (best seller most reviewed and priced very affordable at $16.88). After researching other Etekcity models I found many different options that offered different ranges, features, and spot/distance ratios up to 16:1 with 12:1 being the higher standard and what most higher end brands have.. spot/distance ratios range from 8:1 to 16:1 in this class of IR tool. The Model #s of Etekcity do not indicate which models are higher end. Very confusing model numbering, one would think a model # of 800 or 1022 would be a higher end than a 630 or 774. Not the case with Etekcity. Combine this with lack of ability to side by side Compare on Etekcity website or Amazon . So I decided to narrow my options to 3 and test/compare myself. I compared Etekcity Lasergrips thermometers 1022D, 800, & 630 against one another & with a Klein IR1000. Using spots next to my home thermostat and at fixed distances on specific spots/surfaces. I will start by saying regardless of which IR thermometer you chose, Etekcity makes excellent products, more impressive was their customer service. I submitted a question to them through Amazon and Etekcity responded within the same day offering to call me , as I had a lot of questions..I was able to immediately open a chat conversation with Etekcity customer reps and they were VERY helpful in explaining to me the advantages / differences in all of their IR thermometers. A lot of higher end IR thermometers in this category are well over $50.00 and do and share the same specs/features & the quality of what I learned with Etekcity products. Etekcity 1022D- $19.99 Etekcity Lasergrip 1022D Non-contact Digital Infrared Thermometer, Dual Laser, Blue my first IR from Etekcity: I like the idea of Dual lasers & adjustable emissivity. You cant beat the price compared to same spec higher end products. Features: Dual Laser Emissivity - Adjustable 12:1 Spot ratio Range: -58℉~1022℉ This compact blue/grey tool looks nice with a bright backbit display and light feel although the lighter feel seemed less solid and a little cheap. The grip also seemed too short and less comfortable than the others. It is the smallest of the Etekcity IR thermometers I tested. I was not impressed with the accuracy compared to the higher priced Klein IR1000,at times it was 4-5 degrees different. Originally I had bought the Etekcity 1022 D for the dual lasers and adjustable emissivity. However, it seemed way off compared to a Klein 1000 that i was using as a baseline comparison. even pointing at exact spot next to my thermostat the Klein was consistent closer to my thermostat reading and a desk top thermometer nearby. the 1022D was off by 3-5 degrees sometimes even more. .I liked the back light , Dual lasers and the grip of the 1022D/ however the inconsistency in the measurements even with adjusting emissivity was a deal breaker for me. Etekcity 800 Lasergrip - $25.98 Etekcity Lasergrip 800 Non-contact Digital Laser IR Infrared Thermometer Temperature Gun, Yellow/Black Features: Single Laser 16:1 distance to Spot ratio Emissivity- FIXED at .95 Range: -58℉ - 1382℉ After a disappointing test of the Etekcity 1022D I read reviews and decided to look at the 800, It features better accuracy at range with a 16:1 distance spot ration. the Etekcity 800 was a much better feeling IR tool , solid feel in the hand and was definitely more accurate, and again compared nicely within tolerance of .+/-of 5 to 2.0 degree different than the Klein and my thermostat. it is a solid tool with good solid performance. The build felt more solid, slightly bigger then the 1022D and seemed to be built better. Features a longer ergo grip. I like the grip on the 800 better than all of the Etekcity devices I tested.. The 800 is very reliable and with in targeted specs. it performed +/- .5 to 2.0 degrees tolerance It is worth the extra $6.00 for the better accuracy and build quality. *** Etekcity 630 Dual Lasergrip - $29.99 Etekcity Lasergrip 630 Dual Laser Non-contact Digital Infrared Thermometer, Gray and Black First impression was how it was packaged in a nice solid cardboard box ( unlike the plastic blister packs of the others including the Klein. I can tell more thought & time was put into the 630 model. It felt solid right out of its packaging. Out of all 3 Etek IR thermometers I tested, the Etekcity 630 is the most feature packed ( menu /setting options) and was very accurate compared among all 3. I was very impressed with the choices on the menu and the functions. The dual laser combined with the 16:1 spot/distance ratio makes this an awesome accurate tool for any home owner. It feels high quality with a good solid grip and looks nice with the Black/gray detail. I opened a chat conversation with Etekcity customer reps and they were VERY helpful in explaining to me the advantages / differences in all of their IR thermometers. the 630 is the highest end IR thermometer Etekcity sells and it shows in the performance. The most features, options and in my tests most accurate ( accuracy is negligible between 800 & 630 both are well with in the +/- .5 to 2.0 tolerance) Features: Dual laser for better accuracy 16:1 Distance to Spot Ratio Emissivity: ADJUSTABLE Range: -58℉~1076℉ Multi function menu options ( MAX/Min temp setting, AVG and Diff/ TD) I chose the 630 over the 800 mainly due to the extra menu options ( AVG, MAX, MIn , Diff) adjustable emissivity ,and dual laser aside form that the 800 & 630 perform identically. the 1022D and 774 are priced well at under $20.00 but for more features and higher specs I think one will not go wrong with the Etekcity 800 or Feature rich Etekcity 630. The price range for these products are all very competitive and for $29.99 the Etekcity 630 is an excellent value that will hold its own against Klein and probably even the brand names used by professionals. with Etekcity customer service I was very happy with my choice.

I had to get one for a gift for a man that loves to burn himself. I have no idea how you'd accurately get the distance right without the dual laser feature. The focal distance on this sensor is a bit annoying, you can't see the display if you're reading something in your other hand, but obviously with a 1000c max temp you don't want the focal distance to be very close. I assume this is also an ideal distance for quickly auditing temps in coolers/freezers. Shipping was fast and once I found the refractivity table in the included manual I was finding the temp readings to be very precise and accurate.
