Mine arrived today and what a splendid piece of kit it is for 25

in fact rather nice quality.

So far I've measured my hand, the wall, inside of the freezer, a
couple of radiators, a shoe, and my cat. I wanted to measure the
sky as recommended in other posts, but it's raining here and I
don't want to get the lens all soggy. Maybe I'll find something
useful to do with it? But until then I'll just carry on enjoying
checking the temperature of everyday household objects.

You are a kindred spirit! LOL

Me too!

I do actually use mine a lot.

If I change/move/install a rad I use it as a simple check to make sure all
the rads are at more or less the same temp after refilling the system.
Also enables you to see if a rad needs bleeding - just check top &
bottom - you can do that from the doorway of a room.

Best of all - it impress's the hell out of the punters :-)


Even better if the punters have cats to chase the dot.
