About this item
- Wide Temperature Range: Measure an upgraded temperature range from -58°–1130°F / -50°–610°C and get your result in 500 ms; The display will also show the max temperature of the surface you’re measuring. Perfect heat gun for measuring
- Professional EMS Mode: The Lasergrip 1080 Infrared Thermometer has an emissivity range of 0.1–1.0 for precise readings across different surfaces and conditions; Adjust the emissivity by pressing and holding the Up and down buttons on the heat gun
- Non-Contact: 12:1 D:S, the Lasergrip can accurately measure targets from a distance, making it safer to measure dangerous objects; For the best accuracy, the distance between the thermometer and the object of measurement should be approximately 14.17 in.
- Additional Functions: The Lasergrip has a backlit LCD screen with a unit conversion feature (°F/°C); It has an auto-off feature to extend battery life and a low battery indicator, so you will not accidentally run out of battery life.
- Versatile Design: Infrared technology allows you to measure the surface temperatures of various objects with temperatures above the boiling point and below the freezing point; Use it for cooking, ovens, A/C, refrigerators, soapmaking, pets’ beds, etc.
- Do Not Use on Humans: The Lasergrip is intended for use on inanimate objects only. Measuring the temperature of a human or animal is unsafe
- Storage Instructions: Store your Lasergrip in a ventilated or airtight environment at low temperatures. AVOID direct sunlight or direct source of heat, otherwise there is a high risk of the product surface being sticky

I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an accurate and easy-to-use laser thermometer.
Rating: 4.5 of 5 (excellent)
I cook a lot with cast iron flat griddles, both small and large ... a surface wholly unsuited for corded digital temperature probes, because at the sort of temperatures they’re most commonly used at (450-600F) if the droopy cord connecting the probe to the sensor touches the surface for anything longer than a brief instant, it’s toast, and you have to buy a new one. I’ve ruined several probes that way over the years, and it rapidly becomes annoying. To date, my favorite solution by far is one of the latest generation hand-held wireless Infrared Sensor Guns like the Etekcity Lasergrip 800, which cost me an extremely reasonable and affordable $25 usd in 2017. Anytime I heat a pot of oil for deep-frying, or use a saucier to reduce braising liquid into a thick sweet glaze, or if I use my griddles for things like making Lebanese mountain bread, homemade tortillas, quesadillas, pancakes, fermented dosa crepes, pressed sandwiches (paninis & tortas), burgers, steaks, bacon, blackened fish, eggs, et al., the Etekcity 800 is incredibly handy for rapidly spot-checking the temperature status of your griddle (so you can finesse it accordingly), and also finding any patterns of uneven heating that occur in your setup {TIP: CI is a poor thermal conductor, therefore the slower you heat it, the more evenly it heats}. Different foods like different temperatures too. For example, I like to work at around 500-550F when searing off freshly stretched mountain bread (see photo), which is very thin, and prone to overcooking if your griddle/plancha is too hot. Things like crepes and dosas are even more temperature sensitive, and a thermal gun is indispensable for helping you to stay in the ideal temp range, for significantly better results and less food waste.
Likes:
* Ergonomic: It’s very fast (under 1 sec), accurate (+/- 2%), lightweight (4 oz), easy to use (very simple and intuitive - reading the manual is purely optional), easy to read, and has a thermal range (-58F to +1382F) that fully covers all my needs, and with plenty of room to spare.
* Battery: The specs list 14hrs of cumulative runtime per 9v battery, which is more than enough to last you a year or more, even with regular daily use.
* Sensor Aperture: This unit features a sensor with a nice high DSR rating of 16:1 (read: tight aperture), meaning if you hold it at the recomended distance of 14.17 inches, the circular diameter of the region being sensed centered on the siming dot is 1/16th of that, or roughly 0.88 inch (about midway in size between a Nickel and a Quarter).
Minor Nits:
* Battery (-1/2 star): I’m a big believer in eco-friendly rechargeable, but the designers of this gun opted for a 9v battery design, which while great for low-draw devices like smoke detectors is easily my least favorite, and least efficient formats when it comes to rechargeables. Although there may be some valid technical reasons for the 9v use, I really wish they’d gone with 3.7v 18650’s instead, or perhaps 1.2v AAAs, both of which are highly friendly to low-self-discharge 1000+ cycle rechargeables, and are easily available.
* Sensor Reticle (-1/2 star): First, some disambiguation - although this product prominently mentions “laser” in the name, it only uses the laser to provide a single bright dot (your aiming reticle) so you can see where you’re pointing the sensor - the laser is NOT the actual sensing mechanism, nor does the diameter of the dot reflect the diameter of the region being sensed, which many may find confusing or unintuitive. A better pointer design would be a laser ring (multiple dots), instead of a singular dot, with the diameter of the ring matching the DSR rating of the sensor aperture, so that you can see EXACTLY the size of the area being sensed at any given range.
Despite these 2 minor nits, I still highly recommend this device, which has become one of my top 10 favorite culinary tools in my kitchen.
We use it for our Ooni Pizza Oven. Worls GREAT.

Excelente calidad de materiales.
Lo recomiendo
Me gustó mucho, lo recomiendo
I needed a quick and easy multi temperature zone thermometer. Yes, I also said " multi temperature zone ". By this I mean in my own way...something that can take an accurate reading of subzero temperatures as well not just a + value. Many thermometers do +C well, some do –C well but I’ve not found many that do BOTH well.
First off, this works absolutely perfect for such things as baking bread, making various candies ( hard candy is my family’s favorite ), cooking on the 'ol BBQ but I also needed something that can handle -40C and since this is rated to -50C, I found this to be perfect for my needs. In the past I have helped a couple people with their deep freezers, ones that are cooler than most standard home freezers. We're looking at - 30 range and this is 100% spot on for my purpose.
A soft comfy grip, long running life as it's easy on batteries, accurate results, portable and robust, backlit, change to C or F, a hold feature...there is absolutely nothing that I don't like.
While I don't have a thermal IR camera I have found this can give a bit of help in such a regard. In a new home I had used this during this past winter to find cold spots along the basement joists where the builder had not insulated properly. After finding these trouble spots and fixing them, another use of this laser thermometer and all was corrected.
Also this can very easily be used as a learning instrument for appropriate aged children. Since this is visual and the quickness of the reading I've found it quite good for teaching temperature differences.
I will 110% recommend this to absolutely anyone.
Helpful, is how I hope you find my review
