Old Acu-Rite Indoor/Outdoor vs. newer style Acu-Rite In/Out therm.

I've had it for a few weeks. It is pretty nice. It's pocket sized which makes it easier to get in the back of a tub or something. I like it a lot. If you are willing to spend some money I'd get one of the more expensive ones though.

IR guns have for the most part the same accuracy (+/-2ºF) so the big differences are the DS ratio and the batteries. I like the lower DS ratios (longer ones are best used a farther distances than I ever would) so 1:1 or 4:1/6:1 and I look for common batteries AA,AAA or 9V

I use both, plus a temp gun. :) I use the 'older' model as my main meter because it reads in/out/humidity on the same unit. I velcro the unit to the center back of the cage, then place the probe on the hot side. I use a single number display version with probe for the cool side, and I double check the temps in spots around the probes with my temp gun. The gun is also useful when they're in travel tubs or we're at an expo or outreach. :)

And I got my temp gun from RBI as well. Also the 'cheapest' one. I've had it for about 4 years now and it still works great. :D

That is good to know!

Sounds good! Thank you, everyone! :handshake

I actually ordered the new ones from Walmart online and was delivered the old style. I haven't had any issues with it, just fyi I guess
