Overall Verdict
The result is tight between the Sovarcate HS960D manual thermometer and the Mecurate IRT600A. While the Sovarcate did better in the performance test, the Mecurate has a much better usability score. The two thermometers tie in terms of design.
Both models have solid construction and feature good-to-haves like colored LCD panels, extra measurement modes, and a 13-point laser emitter.
