Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased two 62 Max Plus models. First, I wanted to check their accuracy. In a controlled environment, using a calibrated precision reference thermometer, I determined that both IR thermometers were very close. They both measured 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit above the reference temperature. I made these tests at 75-degree room temperature where the temperature of the target was also 75 degrees. Each thermometer was triggered for 5 seconds before taking the reading. I shielded my body heat from the thermometers. I took a reading every day, 2 times per day for 5 consecutive days. The results were always the same 1.2 degrees above the reference temperature of 75 degrees. This is within the spec of +- 2 degrees F. Impressive for a device at this price point. The thing that was the most impressive to me is the fact that they both were calibrated and performed exactly the same. They were very solid - their readings did not fluctuate. Next, I walked around with them and simultaneously measured temperatures of various surfaces with varying temperature ranges. Both thermometers always agreed with each other giving exactly the same reading, right down to the tenth of a degree (note they increment in .2 as opposed to .1) Also impressive is the fact that I can shoot the same spot over and over again and receive the exact same reading. Most other IR thermometers do not have the stability that these do. It is important that a measurement device is stable and consistent, especially when doing differential comparisons of surfaces. I've used Raytek and some other brands for years but the Flukes beat all of the other ones I have tried. It was an interesting side-project testing their performance. I hope that others will find this information useful.
