1st Customer Review : Much better than its looks: not well described by manual
This IR thermometer seems to use similar modules as more expensive brands. It could be a copy or an OEM version of many branded models, its commonly listed as the DT-380 or DT8380 Infrared Thermometer. For $12, its a steal if you know more about how to work it properly, and it works wonderfully.
Digital Thermometer 8:1 distance:spot ratio for 380C decodes the model number.
I tracked a similar looking manual and nearly identical device to a Chinese factory, See comments.
The manual is nearly identical to the model I received. I can't disassemble the unit to check the PCB and makers mark since part of the unit is glued.
IR thermometers are calibrated against dark or black bodies, and perform worst with reflective surfaces like stainless steel, foil, or mirrors. For best results, point to dark to black surfaces.
I tested it as no worse than 10F off, at best 1F, when measuring dark to black bodies, respectively. Its rubber coating...

2nd Customer Review : Excellent product, excellent price
After looking at various infrared temperature guns I wondered what I would be missing by settling on this less expensive model. As it turns out, this product does everything I need and more.
The laser sight can be switched on or off, and the temperature gauge can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The unit operates on a 9-volt battery which was included in the package.
Temperature readings are quick and perfectly accurate. The display is bright and plenty large.
I use this to read the surface temperature of my pans when cooking on the stove, which really helps create consistent food quality and delicious meals.
I've also used it to locate potential thermal leaks around outlets on exterior walls.
The only potential downside to this product is the limited temperature range (other models offer a larger range), but frankly, I can't think of any reason why I would ever need to read temperatures higher than the capability of...
3rd Customer Review : Worked fine... Once
I purchased this thermometer and tested it when I received it. Worked fine, seemed to be pretty accurate. I then put it in a drawer until I needed it again. About about a month, I retrieved said device and it would not turn on. The battery tested good and I tried a brand new battery in it. Still no luck.
I contacted HDE about this issue and this is their response:
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting HDE. Unfortunately our return policy is the only warranty for this item. Unfortunately we will not be able to assist with a replacement/refund.
Thank you
HDE"
So, now I have a paperweight that used to take temperatures. You may be luckier than I. Caveat emptor.
