Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless)

Introduction

Not so long ago we were asked by Scythe to review their Kama Thermo digital thermometer, and it performed more than admirably by earning itself a ‘Recommended’ award for its accuracy and very attractive price. This time around the Scythe Kama Thermo has received an update in form as well as by name.

The Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) boasts features such as portability, a 2-way power source and non-contact temperature measuring method (wireless). The older Kama Thermo used a thermal probe to measure temperatures; the new wireless version dumps the probe in favour of an infra-red sensor.

So without further ado let’s take a look at the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) specifications.

I see that the Scythe Kame Thermo (Wireless) is now available in black as well as white – this may make the unit a little more appealing for those with a penchant for all things dark.
