Both the Kizen LaserPro LP300 and the Smart Sensor AS530 fall into the category of low-performing thermometers in our database. The Kizen LaserPro LP300 receives a total performance score of 5.2, while the Smart Sensor AS530 fares even worse with a failing score of 4.8.

At first glance, the Kizen infrared thermometer has an advantage over the Smart Sensor based on these scores alone.

However, as we delve deeper into the comparison, the Kizen continues to outshine the Smart Sensor in design and usability. It boasts a sturdy, ruggedized housing and a bright LCD screen. Its usability is commendable, featuring a textured grip that ensures comfortable use, even with wet hands.

While the Smart Sensor AS530 performs better in the design and usability aspects than its performance test results, it still falls far behind the Kizen.

Taking all of these factors into consideration, if you must choose between these two options, the Kizen LaserPro LP300 is the recommended choice. However, it's worth noting that given their similarly low performance; there are better models available in our database that can provide more accurate readings.
