What is the different with the veratemp non contact thermometer?

I think the question is about another item on Amazon called just "VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer". There's no difference between this item and the other one, they both are exactly the same thermometer, possibly with different branding. I've bought both (as gifts, so can't compare directly).

I would like to give you an answer but I am not sure what you are asking could you restate your question?

The big difference for me is its a lot easier taking the temperature of an active toddler. My boy will not hold still for an under the arm thermometer and this works great. Also, I can take his temperature while he is sleeping with out disturbing him. I'm very happy with mine and definitely recommend it.

it is quick and non contact, easy to use-just be sure to hold it 2-3 inches from forehead for an accurate reading

It uses an infrared laser to take temps, and also takes accurate readings on other things ie: room temp, surface temp. I like those extra features for the bottles, and with use in the car to make sure it's not too hot.

The one that I have is almost exact. I checked it with another thermometer and the difference was 1 degree. I have had 2 of these and been pleased.

If you don't know, then you don't need it. Google is your friend, my friend. :O) I use mine to drive NOC screens for work. With another one, I built a thermometer with a USB thermistor to monitor our baby room temperature. Sends a text message, and a notification popup on our openelec/xbmc HTPC box if the crib temp swings beyond a set threshold. Nifty.

I use this for making candy, roasting meats in the oven, checking the internal temp of fried foods. Mine is perfectly accurate, way better than a traditional candy thermometer. I also have an instant read IR thermometer. Both thermometers are within 2 degrees of each other, which is more than acceptable for my use.

Am sorry, but I have never used any type of thermometer to measure the temp.

Can't use in a microwave, can't expose to flames, can't submerge in water. Why would you spend this amount of money for a general thermometer? The instant read ones are for general use. A lot cheaper, too.

Thermometer is not adjustable, but would be out of calibration as soon as you heated again because of the bi-metal. If you don't want to be adjusting all the time go digital.

Yeah, it is okay for what I use it for. The great thing about it is the non-touch feature. You don't have to worry about cleaning it much. It is as accurate as most store brought thermometers and very convenient. You can even check room temp. and surface temp. in different modes. This is meant to be a convenient, affordable product for home use so you have to be realistic about the accuracy. I can generally trust the readings. I have used many different store brought thermometers before, and most of them are about the same when it comes to accuracy. `

If you check the internet there is an excellent description of the differences between thermometers. I would not interchange them because accuracy will not be there. When you cook or bake you want materials that help you make a good product. A correct thermometer will help you, but it has to be for the right job. Happy cooking.

No Tom. It takes almost instant readings of thermal temps, not measurements. I do have an instrument that reads dustances & it dies chirp. This does not.

No it is not. It's just a thermometer, plain and simple. I have two, one for water temp and one for air temp.

No! The product only comes with one sensor that reads temp only. If you want to know the humidity, you must purchase a separate sensor...approx. $30.

My Maverick has two temp probes, one for meat and one for the temp of the oven/BBQ. It's been pretty darn accurate, +/- 3 degrees at most.

Not sure I can answer your Question but this little thermometer is sturdy, accurate and I use it all the time. I've had it a couple of years and it's working great.

Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read. My recommendation to you would be not to buy it. Mine only works intermittently and it shows temps ranging from way too high to way too low. For some reason at times it totally shuts down when inserted into the meat. To make a long story short it worked as it was supposed to for only about a week. I finally broke down and purchased a Therma Pen instant read thermometer for $96 (I haven't received it yet). I can only hope I have a better experience with the Therma Pen. So far I haven't had a good experience with any thermometer I have ever purchased and I have no idea why that should be! Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read.

That should not be a problem with the Extech Thermometer. The battery compartment is not sealed water tight and there are slots in the unit to let air in to read humidity so I would make sure it is located outdoors where it would not get rained on.

I own one of these. There is no way to tell internal ambient temperature or the temp of the meat. Just low, medium and high on the dial. It's just like a crockpot.
