Anyone used one of these? Looks quite a bit cheaper than a Kestrel 2000. Only downside is that you need an app to view the readout. But it should hold calibration for several years. Has the required accuracy of 0.5 K.

Remember that you need a type K air probe with the Greisinger. I sold these to air tightness testers several years ago and also used them when I tested.

The good thing about the probes is that you can get a new one if it gets damaged. For an all-in-one unit you need to by a whole new unit.

@Paul Carling How often are they calibrated in the U.K.? Is it still every year for thermometers? I wonder how often they drift out of calibration and need replacement.
