Ridiculously cheap Infrared Thermometer on Amazon.co.uk

[molove]

I have just come across a -50 - 550ºC infrared thermometer on Amazon.co.uk for £1.74 including postage. I have no idea if this is legit or not, and I'm not in the market for another thermometer so I won't be ordering one.

If anyone is interested, here is the link

Wierdly it seems to be going down in price, it's now down to £1.13!

 

[steve johnson]

It's now£1.00

I feel slightly robbed, I purchased four at 1.74

It has got to be worth it for £1.00 including shipping. I just ordered 3. I guess if they work then one will be a raffle prize at the 2007 UK SMF meet

3 ordered at 9 pm last night and at 5:19 this morning I have just had a confirmation from Amazon that they have been shipped. Surely it would have cost more than the £3 I paid just for the shipping alone !

It does seem an offer that's too good to be true, so there is a chance that it is, but the worst case senario is that they don't show up, in which case you should be able to get your money back through Amazon's A to Z guarantee scheme

I am half expecting to get 3 copies of the photo used on the Amazon web site delivered in a 2nd class envelope

I ordered three yesterday! Not sure why, but a £1.00 each got to be worth it?

I thought I would chuck my tuppence in. I have one of these and I paid £12 a couple of years ago. I use it for work and check fryer temps with it. You do need to be careful you don't get spurious readings though. Clean oil won't read right as it doesn't emit as much infra red energy as the darker dirty oil. I check it regularly with an accurate probe themopen.
You can prove this by aiming it at a boiling stainless steel kettle, mine reads around 46°C when it's boiling. The darker the surface the better, so a nice bark on your best Brisket should be near enough to be accurate.
For that price I don't think you can go too wrong, its worth a punt.

so did i hahah

Hello.  So this is one of those things you point and click and it reads the temp?  So sticking your tongue on the smoker is not good enough?  

  MAN! I feel old!  Keep Smokin!

I paid 86 pence, gotta love a bargain.  The only reason they are selling them that cheap is to improve their seller profile on Amazon, the more they sell the higher up their listings apear on Amazon.

Keep them coming
