Overall Verdict
Choosing the better IR thermometer between the Sovarcate HS960D and the Eventek ET312 is difficult. Both models did very well in our tests and are among the top performers.
The Eventek has the edge over the Sovarcate HS960D in terms of performance. The thermometer received a total performance score of 8.2 out of 10 thanks to its accurate readings. Meanwhile, the scoring of the Sovarcate HS960D is far more modest at only 6.7 out of 10 due to lackluster accuracy in the hot test with oil.
However, the Sovarcate HS960D made it back up with excellent design quality. With a rugged housing, colored LCD panel, and a bright laser emitter, it beats the Eventek by a mile in this section.
As for usability, the Eventek ET312 once more performed better by having up to four extra measurement modes, which improves its versatility greatly. The Sovarcate HS960D only comes with one.
Overall, the Eventek ET312 is the way to go if you want performance. But if a ruggedized, premium design is what you seek, consider the Sovarcate HS960D.
