This infrared thermometer does a great job. There are really only two things that these need to do well, accuracy and easy to use. This does better than average in both. Accuracy, this has adjustable emissivity where normally this is only found in thermometers above $50. Emissivity is what temperature looks like in the infrared spectrum for a specific material. So, this can be adjusted for a specific material, like brick, plastic, or wood, to get a more accurate temperature reading.
For ease of use take a look at the pictures. It is small and fits in my hand. But, look at the one with two thermometers. This Inkbrid is on the right. With the multi color display it is easier to read the information that you want quickly. I did not realize it would make a difference until I used it, it does. I highly recommend this thermometer.
