Customer Review: Accurate and easy to use!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product to use in my Baby's room to have an accurate reading of the temperature and humidity in it. I have been using it for a bit over a month now and have no complaints. It is VERY easy to set up and use and battery life seems to be excellent. It also has a remote sensor that you can place in any other part of the house or the exterior to monitor that area's temperature and humidity, also; although you don't HAVE to use it, only if you want to, as the main unit will work by itself.
Numbers are fairly big and easy to read from a distance. It will give you a nice smiley face whenever conditions on the monitored area are ideal. It has come very handy since my central air conditioner's thermostat is located on the main room of the house so the temperature reading will be that of this particular room, making it difficult to know what is the exact temperature on my baby's room; so with this Hygrometer now I know for sure the exact temperature on my baby's room and any parent out there know that this is a must for safety! From my personal experience with it, I would recommend this item hands down.
Customer Review: Nice display, bad product!

When I received this product, it did not work. I contacted the phone number on the package, Hidecki Electronics, the company who makes it. They sent me a replacement for the Base, as they determined it was not working properly. I had to pay to ship it back to them, but they promised another remote in repayment for the shipping costs. Well, they shipped a new base, but no additional remote. I contacted them and they said they would send the remote. I got another base unit instead! Neither unit displays the same readings. Plus, now the remote will not send a reading to either base unit. We have replaced all the batteries, however they still do not get a reading from the remote. Plus, it seems that these units are battery eaters! I contacted the company twice now, and I still do not have a response. I would not recommend this product. Spend more money and get a unit that works! We have another product that displays just indoor temperature and humidity, which was checked against a $600 professional unit and is accurate. These Honeywell units do not compare to our $20 simple temp/humidity, old reliable by Micronta.Customer Review: Indoor/Outdoot Temeprature and Humidity
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the base unit plus two remote sensors, one with the probe.
I had some initial problems setting up the units. You absolutely MUST read the instructions and activate the remote sensors first. You must also use the reset button. If you do not, the units will not be found by the base. You finish the installation by powering up the base unit.
The units feature LCD readouts. The readouts on the remotes are okay, but do not plan to be reading them from across the room or from twenty feet away like a regular thermometer. The base readout is large and easily read. I did not have any problems with reflections except in direct sunlight. That had been noted as a problem in other reviews.
One final comment. If you live in northern climes, expect to pay a premium for batteries. Below 32 F / 0 C they recommend lithium batteries. Rechargeable do not work with the unit (too low a voltage apparently). Alkalines may or may not work according to the instructions. With eight lithium batteries needed for a complete setup, you could spend an additional $20 for batteries.
Customer Review: Great looks... Good Performance!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this because I wanted a thermometer and hygrometer and have heard about the Honeywell brand before. They are used in many places as sensors. This one also looks great!
I can't comment on the accuracy (as opposed to the precision) as I have not validated the readings against any other instrument yet. The temperature seems to be correct from what I know otherwise though. In some of the other reviews I read the meter gives wrong readings and the main unit and its satellite unit don't correspond. I have had them both the same place and the temperature corresponds within a degree (I haven't seen it vary by more than 0.5 deg. C as yet). The humidity varies by about 2% (maximum) so far though, but that isn't a big deal for me.
Unless you want *absolute* precision, I would recommend this!
On the delivery and waiting period, I actually had to wait several months to get this, but I don't mind since I wasn't in a rush (and Amazon doesn't charge you until it is shipped! :) ). They didn't have it in stock I guess, though that wasn't stated so on the site.
Customer Review: Wireless, Expandable, and Accurate! An amazing bargain
Summary: 5 Stars
It is so nice when things just work great out of the box. This thermo-hygrometer is one of those things. Pop in 4 AA batteries (2 in main unit, 2 in remote unit), synchronize the remote unit with the local unit (press a button), and now you can measure temperature and humidity in two separate rooms.
The main unit is big with a large font for easy reading. It is a little bigger than two iPods side-by-side. The main unit has a stand in the back so it can stand up on its own.
The remote unit is a little bigger than an iPod nano. It is freestanding and has a smaller display (about the size of a digital watch display). The remote unit has a red light which indicates when it is talking to the main unit.
Switching from the main unit temperature to the remote unit requires only a single press of the button. The main unit supports up to 3 remote units. You could put one in your basement, one in your upstairs, one in a garage, and still have the main unit for your first floor. That is just awesome!
I couldn't be happier with this product.
