I compared and between 10 brands,and this brand most accurate.

My history with Fluke meters goes back a long time. Like Snap-On tools, they're my go-to brand when reliability in the field counts. They do so well that I've not had to buy or replace any in years. So I was interested in the midrange Fluke 62max as a basic thermometer, v a cheaper brand claiming the same features, partly out of curiosity -- Has the quality held up over the years? The first unit delivered was DOA -- would not respond to the trigger, despite swapping in several batteries. Not a good start. A replacement was quickly shipped, and this one seems to work as expected.The 62max is a literal point-and-shoot tool that gives confirmable and repeatable results, once you set it up. The calibration agreed with other instruments, and things like c/f, min/max alarms, and ems are adjustable, The problem is making adjustments without watching random u-toob videos, since the operator's manual is a point-and-grunt, non-effort to communicate. After pages of noninformative legalese written in a myriad of languages, there are zero words of operating instructions -- only unannotated cartoons. How to access the adjustments menu is never mentioned. A real subminimal effort from a company that overall, makes good stuff. How embarrassing for Fluke!

If you are looking for an IR thermometer, don't think twice. Just get a Fluke. I returned a couple less expensive inferior products to my local hardware and big box store, before deciding to just spend a little extra and get a Fluke. You can FEEL the quality that Fluke is known for when you are holding this device. It is well built, feels good to hold, solid materials. The backlight and audible tones are great to have, but it is also great to have to option to turn them both off if you want! This item has just that! You really can't go wrong with this one, don't settle for something cheaper, just to save a few bucks, you will not regret purchasing a Fluke instead!

I initially bought this meter because I live in a very warm apartment and it was driving me crazy not knowing where the heat was coming from. I keep the radiators off but I suspected some heat was coming out from them anyway. With this meter I was able to confirm that the radiators were indeed off. The heat, as it turns out, was coming from the floor--the entire floor. I went downstairs and checked my neighbor's door and it was almost 80 degrees! Well, found the culprit.On the rare occasion I do need to use the radiators I can use this meter to tell me how much difference a 1/8th turn of the knob makes to the radiator temperature.It isn't meant for it but I have used it to check the temperature inside my mouth to see if I had a fever. I don't recommend that and you should never point this at people or pets.It's also helpful if you're having "discussions" at work over what the temperature in the office is. You can also pinpoint places where a room is either gaining or losing heat. This can be very helpful as you attempt to raise or lower the temperature.This list goes on and on. One thing you discover after using this meter for a while is that your hand is a pretty poor judge of temperature. Sure, your hand can tell if something is 20 degrees hotter than something else but you hand is really poor at telling if one thing is, for example, 3 degrees hotter than another (and 3 degrees can matter in a room if it's over a large surface area).
