Product Description
Portable IR thermometers have become indispensable tools for automotive troubleshooting and diagnostics. Quick non-contact temperature measurements make it easy to spot cooling system faults, identify engine misfires, check for proper A/C performance, verify catalytic converter operation and much more. The laser point sighting on the MT6 unit helps to direct measurements toward the target and the large backlit display shows both the current and maximum readings simultaneously. With a protective boot for added durability, award winning ergonomic design and Raytek quality and accuracy, the MT6 model is the perfect introduction to infrared temperature measurements in automotive diagnostics. Accuracy is +/-1 degree C (2 degrees F) from 10 degrees C to 30 degrees C (50 degrees F to 86 degrees F), +/- 1.5% of reading or +/- 1.5 degrees C (3 degrees F) whichever is greater over the balance of the range. Emissivity: preset at 0.95. Response time: <500msec. Distance to spot ratio: 10:1 calculated at 80% energy. Runs on a 9V Alkeline battery (included). Includes protective boot and storage pouch. (assumes standard and stable measurement conditions)

Also, I have found it to be pretty durable. I haven't dropped it on a hard surface from any heights, but I did inadvertently drop it in a cooler full of water. It got water-logged with water in the screen. I opened it, took the battery out and let it dry overnight. The next night, I put the battery back in and it worked fine.
It this device broke tomorrow, I would have Amazon over-night a new one.

August 2010. Still going strong. I bought another one for the boat. I tell all my friends about this unit. Still great.
***************
September 2012. Original still going strong. I now own three and have given away more. I keep one in my condo and two on my boat (which I live on). The second one on the boat is a backup, just in case the first goes swimming in the ocean. I find this thing indispensable. I use it multiple times per day.
If you want a thermometer for meat, I have the Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen (White) Instant Read Thermometer, Perfect for Barbecue, Home and Professional Cooking of which I also have two. I have had to throw away at least 5 of the meat thermometers that you leave in the meat with a remote readout. Every one I've tried has been crap.

July 2018. Still going strong. Still in love. In looking over my Amazon orders, I see that I have purchased 10 of these!! I had no idea. Three were for me (one kitchen, two for boat) and the rest were gifts. The people that received them have been universally happy.
These take a bit of getting used to and it pays to read the directions. For example, the farther you are from an object, the broader the reading area, so you need to take that into consideration when trying to determine the temperature of a given item.
I used this to check cable temperatures when running large equipment in my shop and it gives a good indicator of where I need to focus concern for overloads.
I've also used this to monitor my shop radiant heating source. More specifically, to obtain actual temperature measurements of the underside of the southern exposure roof open to my shop, until I get insulation and sheet rock installed.
The uses for these are many and I am, thus far, wholly satisfied with the quality and performance of my RaytekN MT6.
_____________________
UPDATE ((8/3/2016):
I've been using this to test various things for the past year and I become more impressed with it the longer I have it. While it's said to have a very limited range, I find it noteworthy that I can point this at wall or ceiling fifteen feet away and get the same reading I do within a foot or two. That makes this very useful for things like checking temp on the underside of ceilings and roofs to monitor how much heat is getting in, past the insulation, without climbing up a ladder to do it.
The MT6 provides a quick and fairly accurate temperature reading, and operates exactly like you would expect.
The only minus (which has been mentioned in other reviews) is the carrying case that comes with the MT6.
When I read the comments regarding the case, I thought, "How bad can the smell really be?". Well, it's exactly as bad as everyone else says it is. It smells like freshly laid tar. When I opened up the MT6, I put the case aside on a desk a few feet away from where I was testing out the thermometer. I realized a few minutes later that I was actually smelling the case from about 3 feet away. To get rid of the smell I figured that I would leave the case outside for a week, and let the outgases get "out".
Well, it's been over a week now sitting outside. I just brought the case back in, and while it seems like it smells less - it's only a little less. It still reeks.
So, I am trashing the carrying case, and will find some other protection for my new toy.
My advice to Rattek would be one of the following:
A) Find a new manufacturer for the MT^ carrying case, or
B) Stop shipping the carrying case, and save Raytec a few pennies for each MT6 sold (as well as preventing toxic dumping by customers)
The MT6 meter is highly recommended. The carrying case for it is not.
*** UPDATE ***
We've owned this IR thermometer for a while now, and it still works great. It's amazing how often we use it! Setting our refrigerator / freezer temperature, adjusting our room thermostats, lots of uses during cooking, air conditioning checks, door seal leaks, hot water heater temperature (should be around 130 degF for proper dishwasher and washing machine operation) ... the list goes on! My wife originally wondered when we would use it, and when she was measuring a tiramisu egg mixture temperature a few weeks ago, she commented on how she loved it! :-)
