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.

That is good to know!

Sounds good! Thank you, everyone!

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
