Beware - uses unconventional battery!!

Would Not Recommend

Uses a weird battery size, A23. It's a 12V battery and it's small, so that means it will run out quickly, it's hard to find, and it will be expensive to replace. This is not listed on the packaging; it just says "Battery included". Would have been better if it used a common battery like a 9-volt.

Digital Infrared reader

Would Recommend

Like ease of use. Did not like the teeny tiny little screw that had to be undone so the batteries could get inside.

It's a thermometer.

For what it is - a thermometer - it appears to be very decent. I was looking for more of a thermal imager, as I believe I explained to the salesman. I wanted to aim it at a door, window, etc and see where thye cold air was coming in. This reads a spot on the wall.

Not accurate then not working

Would Not Recommend

I’ve never seen such a poorly designed or manufactured product. I will never purchase another Kobalt product again. I had considered their electric lawn equipment, not now. When I returned this to Lowe’s, I started by saying it is next to impossible to remove the screw because it is so small … The person at the return desk shook her head in agreement before I even finished the sentence. Most people won’t have a screwdriver small enough. I checked the package because I figured a tool would have b...
