The best IR thermometer for the money
By Gordon Woodroof
The Fluke model 561 infrared thermometer is an excellent buy. It is the only IR thermometer that I found under $250 that had an adjustable emissivity. Since not all surfaces radiate infrared equally, this can be a very important feature. The model 561 also can accept K type thermocouples for use in making contact temperature measurements. As an added feature, this model comes with a special K type theromocouple mounted in a velcro strap for wrapping around pipes for direct contact measurements. The plastic case is nice, too. I researched every model of IR thermometer under $500 for a month, and this was the best that I found. The only drawback is that the switch that changes between Celcius and Farenheit is inconveniently located inside the battery compartment.

I/R thermometer
By R. Gooden
I needed an I/R thermometer to check and monitor my engines in my radio controlled miniature aircraft.I used lesser brands but they seemed to read lower than I thought, and I researched for at least three months and finally decided on a Fluke 561.I will use no other unit, this works flawlessly good solid readings no fluctuation like the others, they would change at least twenty degrees as you were holding on one spot.This unit gives steady accurate readings on my five cylinder radial engine so I can modify my air baffles in order to keep all cylinders close to the same temperature.I also have found countless other uses for it, I could write a book.You can't go wrong with this one.

Fluke 561IR
By Miguel Castillo
Easy to read display, We will use it in the field, As all fluke's instruments, they are very reliable and accurate, my only observation is the K thermocouple reading does not have decimals, it give you full numbers, this feature would give a big plus for the instrument.
