5 out of 5 stars Kintrex IRT0421 Infrared Thermometer   September 7, 2008
R. Williams
61 out of 61 found this review helpful

After reading specifications and reviews of similar products in the same general price range. I decided on the Kintrex IRT0421.

I am very pleased with my purchase. This device is very quick to respond and it seems to be quite accurate when used properly. One of the main reasons I chose this infrared thermometer over the Fluke, Raytek or Sears Craftsman was that it uses 2 AAA batteries rather than a 9-volt battery. I've had the Kintrex for about a month now and I'm still using the original batteries which show no signs of weakness yet. The display is very easy to read even in a dark room (it's backlighted) and you can switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius simply by pressing a button.

As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat the Kintrex for the price.

I bought it because of the low price & was surprised to find it works just as well as more expensive Fluke thermometers I've used in the past. It works quickly, has a good distance to spot ratio and it's priced just right. I've used it for everything from spot temp checks of computer equipment to checking my freezer & my ceiling insulation coverage. I would buy the same one again if it were lost or broken.


5 out of 5 stars Quick Temperature Reading   June 26, 2008

This is a great product and definitely lives up to its product description. The unit has a solid feel and I don't have the impression that it is a low quality product. Temperature readings are quick and accurate as far as I can tell. It provides many uses such as confirming the temperature of foods to finding heat sources in your home. It has helped me pinpoint the areas in my house that I am losing precious air-conditioning.

My biggest problem with the thermometer is the laser, the infrared temperature reads from a much larger area than the laser points to and until you get used to the unit you may be confused by the temperature reading for areas at a distance of 4 feet or more away.

But all in all a great product.

This is a product which preforms as claimed (something a bit unusual these days). I have found it useful for ensuring true temp for my griddle, gas grill, refrigerator, freezer, and pizza stone in the oven. As time passes I find myself using it for more tasks and some not even cooking related!

I certainly recommend this product!

This is the ideal infrared thermometer for the average home owner. It's easy to use and gives you just the features you need without costing more. The one complaint that people seem to have for it is that it does not come with a wrist strap even though it looks like the unit was designed to have one. I found the the wrist strap from one of my old film cameras, that I don't use any more, fits it perfectly.

There is a feature that this unit has that is not mention in the user manual. That feature is the units ability to store the last temperature reading taken after the unit turns itself off. The way you get at this last reading is to push the mode key instead of the measure key. The last temperature reading will appear.
