Helect Infrared Thermometer Gun vs Lasergrip GM400 Side-by-Side Comparison
The Helect IR thermometer’s accuracy is hard to beat. But not only so, when compared to the cheaper Lasergrip GM400, the Helect seems to outshine it in almost every respect, from the quality of the design down to the user experience.

Overall Verdict
The Helect gets a thumbs-up for its reliability and sturdy build. It aced our tests, ranking among the most accurate IR thermometers we've ever tried.
On the other hand, the Lasergrip GM400 struggled with accuracy and has some design quirks, like a dim laser and fewer measurement options compared to the Helect.
That makes the Helect the better choice overall. It not only outperforms the Lasergrip GM400 but also offers better durability and far more features for the money.
