Raytek MT4 Mini Temp Non-Contact Thermometer Gun with Laser Sighting for sale

Raytek MT4 Mini Temp Non-Contact Thermometer Gun with Laser Sighting for sale
The Raytek Minitemp takes the guesswork from lots of kitchen tasks, and contains a huge amount of other less practical (but fun) uses likewise. Similar to touchless thermometers, the unit is an infrared detector. Solid objects radiate different wavelengths based on their temperature [..]. By detecting the peak wavelength of infrared emitted by a physical object, the thermometer can calculate its temperature. This can be a completely passive sensor; the laser light is to assist you aim and has no influence on the measurement.

The thermometer can be quite accurate near room temperature; when I point it at a regular thermometer, they furnish me the exact same reading. While i point it at boiling water, it reads 208F. Close enough in order to smoke applications. The Minitemp has brought every one of the guesswork from microwaving, grilling, and frying.

But mostly, I simply point the one thing arbitrarily things in your home just for fun. Several of the "applications" I have tried personally the Minitemp for:
- Finding the spot that the cat has not too long ago been sleeping
- Seeing how cold the clouds are
- Checking the refrigerator/freezer for proper temperature
- Seeing how cold my feet come in the winter months
- Understanding when my XBox is about to explode

The one thing the device should NOT be used for is measuring internal temperatures of meats. The thermometer reads only the surface temperature. You cannot take readings by having a window, either; the thermometer will just look at glass. Also, the farther you might be from the object you might be measuring, the bigger the spot is you actually measure. For instance, from 2 feet away, that you are actually measuring the common temperature of your 2 inch circle, not merely the laser spot.

Scores:
Accuracy: 8/10. Sufficient for household use.
Speed: 10/10. Truly instant readings that refresh continuously as you hold down the trigger.
Battery: 10/10. A 9V battery has lasted through many months of liberal use, including like a laser pointer within a pinch.
Utility: 9/10. Near endless fun.
Physical construction: 9/10: Plastic but rugged and straightforward to clean. Easy-to-read LCD that has a backlight.

Overall score: 46/50. 5 stars.
