Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these units because I needed to monitor the temperature inside my refrigerator. I wanted to know if it was too warm for my food, too cold for my insulin, or right on the money.....it was both. The thermometer indicated that it was sometimes too cold and sometimes too warm, so I got another compact refrigerator for my insulin, and set the main refrigerator to be cold.
I tried using a conventional thermometer to check the temperature inside my refrigerator, but by the time I was able to read what it said, it had warmed up a degree or two, so I decided to look for a thermometer that had a transmitter that I could place inside the refrigerator, and monitor the temperature inside the refrigerator without having to open it. This unit was perfect.
One thing they don't mention is that the main unit that sits inside your house is also a thermometer. You can see what the temperature is where ever you set the base unit, plus you can have up to three other units that you can use to monitor the temperature in other areas. For $25, this is well worth the money. I'd highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Accurate and easy to use!

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: Great looks... Good Performance!

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

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.
Customer Review: Great buy - Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
Worked exactly as advertised and I'm glad that the the 1st (of 3 possible) remote units came with the base. I purchased the unit in order to monitor mainly the humidity in various rooms of my home. This time of year in the mid-west the air can get dry and I was having sinus issues. I have used the remote unit to move around to different rooms (including the basement) within the house to compare to the base unit stationed in our main living area. In addition, I had some painting to do in my garage which required the temp to be >50deg F. I started up my heater, placed the remote unit in the garage and monitored the rising temperature from in the house to know when I was able to get started.
I have no reference to compare the accuracy of the unit to know if it's calibrated properly, but checking against my thermostat, it's identical.
There were no issues with getting the units to communicate, the display and function buttons are clear and logical to use. The min/max feature is nice to know what type of variation occurs with the temp or humidity.
