This Meat give to us some advantages, like this :
1. This one has it all
I've only had two days to play with this thermometer, but it certainly seems like a winner. The instructions are sometimes wrong with regard to how to operate the unit (you must press the _trigger_ and the up/down arrows to activate the laser/lcd backlight, not the _mode_ button and up/down), but once you figure it out you'll throw away the booket anyway. It does have high/low alarms (for emissive...not sure about the probe) and will do a high/low/average reading set.
I do not have a reliable way to determine whether the emissive temperature is accurate, but it appears to track closely with two of my other probe thermometers for cold-warm temperatures, and is in the right range for oven temperatures and, well, anything I could find to determine the temperature of. The probe seems equally accurate. Both are quick. The probe is comparable to my polder-look-alike, probably a bit faster to be honest. The emissive temp can be checked in a second or less, and can be set to...
2. More useful than I expected
I don't know what more you want from a thermometer. It is wonderful and I love having the probe on the same piece of equipment. I find that I use the infra red more than I expected (no more candy thermometers). It is highly accurated and has more features than I would ever use (it has various modes that would allow you to know Hi or Lo temp recorded plus others. I also have used it trouble shooting HVAC and the laser pointer (turns on or off) is nice when you are pointing to a register 20 feet away and want to ensure that you are capturing the correct temp.
It is fun. Highly recommend it.
p.s. the probe is a pivot function in that it does not FOLD out, but SWINGS out 180 degrees from its storage position. I suspect that this may not be as intuitive as some folks might like, but I have had no quality problems with this over the two-plus years that I have owned it.

Broke quickly, no warranty
The probe worked well for the few times I used it - but then it had an electrical problem where it flashed error messages and finally stopped working. I contacted the company and they told me there is no warranty. They said it is a "quality assurance" product - which means it is guaranteed to work out of the box, but with no warranty after. Nothing like guaranteeing a product will work when you buy it. It would be funny but for the fact the probe is so expensive.
