It good, get the temperature right away best for my refrigeration business. Not like my old one have to stay there for 10 second and guess for the temperature are accurate.

At this price, the Fluke 62 Max is a great buy. It’s a dependable, rugged thermometer that gets the job done well in harsh environments. For anyone looking for fast, accurate readings and durable build quality at an affordable price, the Fluke 62 Max is a fantastic choice.

Great quality, but on the higher end of price. We'll worth what you are paying for

I've used this to check spots in the refrigerator to find the best location to keep my milk. Seems to work well. I also use it to check the air temperature leaving the HVAC vents for both heating and cooling. Lets me know which ducts likely need more insulation. Overall it's a handy tool.

There are some laser thermometers out there from Red China at $15.00. The problem is that they are sent to youby the United States Postal Service. The USPS is very good at delivering what you don't want - junk mail - and notvery good at delivering something you do want - from Red China..This "62 Max" is probably still made in China but it comes to you by FedEx or ONTRAC and will get to you from Amazon in as little as two days with free shipping. I tried the alternative and the result was Kafkaesque with the package traipsing from USPS sorting center to USPS sorting center over many weeks. Then the USPS just spontaneously sent it back to China.... (amazing...)The manual that comes with this thing is bizarre and you are far better off just pressing buttons and seeing what happens. Upon arrival you might think it is dead because the laser does not work and the display does not light. Pull the pre-printed clear cover off the display and start pressing buttons. You can turn the display ON.. and you can turn the laser ON.Once you have figured out how it works, then you can go back to the manual that is more like a series of Tibetan traffic signs than anything instructive and figure out the rest of the puzzle.It's well worth owning. And it is great for parties. There are all sorts of places you can aim it for instant laughter from all present..

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!

I'd suffered through less expensive IR thermometers that always seemed to come up short. This one was a little more expensive, but I'm glad I got it. It seems to be accurate and reads fast -- in several modes. And rugged.Two things I've used it for recently:-- 3D printing. Really nice for checking the temperature of your build surface -- rising temperature as you prepare to print and then checking as it cools to you'll have an easier time removing your model. As an example of the first -- when the printer readouts and printing software both report 65C, the Fluke agrees with that for the center, but on the edge of the print area, the temp is on 50C. If I have a small model to print that's not a problem. But if I have a large model, that tells me to wait for the whole plate to get up to temp.-- My boss and I were talking one day. He lives in a farmhouse that is at least 150 years old and he was concerned about heat leaks around his windows, doors, chimney. So when we were having a cold spell I loaned him the Fluke for the weekend. He was happy to find that reading on the outside of the house, he had no hot spots, and reading on the inside, he had no cold spots.

Make sure you have the battery in the correct way. Works well.
