Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this for our wine fridge, to make sure that the setting was correct and accurate, and because this thermometer measures humidity. At first, we placed the sensor at the bottom of the fridge and mounted the display on the wall above. It fluctuated pretty wildly and was always above the temperature we'd set the fridge to. This brings me to one of the best features of this device: it has a memory. It records the highest and lowest temperatures, which are then accessible with the push of a button.
The reason that I gave it four stars instead of five was the size of the sensor. It's pretty big, about twice the size of a cell phone, and white, so for our application it was pretty difficult to hide it. This was especially true when we decided to move it to the top of the fridge. If, however, you're putting the sensor in a place where that size and color won't make it stick out, it's perfectly fine.
Customer Review: Very nice display
Summary: 4 Stars
The product looks very nice and has a large display. I wanted a large digital hygrometer. That was the primary reason I bought it. I think it works well. The termperature read out is about 1 degree higher than other digital termperature gauges that I have. I bought two of these and the temperature difference seems to be the same in both locations so I assume it is part of the design. Either it is more accurate than others I have or it is off by about 1.2 degrees on the high side. Don't know which, but I think it is about 1.2 degrees on the high side. So for instance, when this items reads 76 degress, my other digital temperature gauge reads 74.8 degrees. But, overall, I like it and for the price it seems very well made. Even has a remote sensor. Not sure how accurate the hygrometer is, but it's relative humidity so it is really the changes I am interested in and it works very nicely.Customer Review: Relative is the concept
Summary: 4 Stars
This combo thermometer and hygrometer is relatively good. The large display can be seen many feet away. Temperature seems fairly accurate when compared to its remote and 2 other termometers I have. But relative humidity is...well, relative. Internal reliability is poor with a 10% difference between the main unit and the remote. And both units were way apart from the other 2 hygrometers I've have (tho internal reliability with them is a problem too). But when it's dry, both register in the lower range and when it's wet both register in the higher range. But if humdity is important to you, look elsewhere.
The other complaint I have is that the unit can be paired with 2 other remote units but I have been unable to find out how or where to purchase another remote unit. However I still have to cycle thru blank displays remotes 2 & 3 before getting back to the main display on the primary unit.
Customer Review: Nice, but not as accurate as hoped
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this the other week and when it arrived my first impression was that it was perfect. I intended to use it in a humidor (or coolerdor, to be specific) to monitor the humidity of my cigars. Before putting it in the cooler, I wanted to do the salt test to see how accurate it was. After 14 hours it showed a reading of 70% humidity where an accurate hygrometer should read 75%. I contacted Honeywell and they said, "The humidity accuracy of our instruments is +/- 5%-7%, so your unit performs within stated specifications." I only wish they would have that listed on the specs because I would not have purchased it.
Other than the less than ideal accuracy, it is a very nice device. Small but easy to read. Easy to use. The remote sensor connected to the main devices almost instantly. I'm going to keep it and use it as long as it consistently reads -5% from the actual value.
Customer Review: Much easier to set up than I would have anticipated
Summary: 4 Stars
I initially balked at the idea of a wireless, battery-powered weather unit, but decided to give this a shot because of the reviews here. The unit pairs quickly with the remote sensor, and once the two pair up, you're good to go. You can set the unit to cycle between the local and remote units automatically or manually. The temperature and humidity readouts are large enough to read from across the room.
So far, I've only had experience with my unit during the winter months, but I've had no issues to report. The remote sensor is out in the back yard, probably about 50 feet away from the base unit. The temperature reported are pretty close to what the local weather channel reports.
My only complaint is that there is no option for AC power. For something like this, it'd be nice to just plug it in, rather than have one more pair of batteries slowly draining.
