Overall Verdict
The Sovarcate HS960D easily outperforms the Lasergrip GM400 in all three aspects: measurement accuracy (performance), design, and usability.
In the performance test, the Sovarcate HS960D achieved a commendable 6.7 out of 10 in our benchmark, while the Lasergrip only managed a score of 5.3. This difference is due to the Lasergrip's lackluster performance in the cold test with ice.
When it comes to design, the Sovarcate HS960D shines. It boasts a more rugged construction, a colored LCD screen, and a brighter laser emitter. These features contribute to its impressive 9.5 out of 10 design score, surpassing the Lasergrip GM400's 6.1 out of 10.
Furthermore, in terms of usability, the Lasergrip GM400 falls short. It lacks extra measurement modes, and although it has a speaker, its volume is significantly lower than the Sovarcate HS960D.
Overall, you’ll fare much better with the Sovarcate HS960D than the Lasergrip GM400.
