Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless)

Conclusion Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless)
 
So how well did the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) perform in today’s review?
 
 The Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) is undoubtedly well made and solid. The unit itself, although made from plastic, feels as though it will be able to take a few decent knocks from regular wear and tear without giving up the ghost.
 
I do like the improved portability of the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) over the older ‘wired’ Kama Thermo, as it wouldn’t look out of place amongst the contents of your pocket (keys etc).
 
Performance-wise the Kama Thermo (Wireless) performed well and returned acceptable measurements of temperature, even with a stated accuracy of +/- 2 degree Celcius.
 
Pricing for the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) comes in at US$19.90, which is a little dearer than the original Kama Thermo, but not excessively so in my opinion. I wasn’t able to find a supplier for the unit in the UK at the time of review, but this is quite a  new product, so the lack of available e-tailers is understandable.
