Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Honeywell TM005X Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer
Customer Review: It's Bigger.
Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures of this and the smaller models are so close that you need to get out a tape measure .. it's really a nice sized unit, and a bargain.
I've left it along side another unit for weeks now, and all I can say is this is a great thermo-hygrometer. I don't think other users gave it enough time, or maybe theirs were defective. I'm always within 1 degree or so inside and outside, and the humidity within 5%. Can it get any better for this price?
Real value, nice looking. I just wish the display was a bit more contrasty -- mine is a little difficult to see if it's not under a table lamp, which is where it will stay. :)
Oh, and since the transmitter goes outside, why the heck did they give it a keyhole mount? I'm guessing mine will blow down this winter.
But, I give it 9.9 out of 10 for sure.
Customer Review: Looks great initially
Summary: 5 Stars
The initial operation looks excellent. I got two of these for the office and home so had 4 units to test out. All of them read the same after they acclimated so the factory calibration is consistent. I didn't have a humidity reference but they did match my home thermostat for temperature. The real test is to see how they operate over the long term.
For some of the negative reviews, this unit is not made by Honeywell but by Hideki and sold under the Honeywell brand. Hideki is not a no name company, but a large multinational company that has been around 20 years. They're just relatively new to the US.
For the hygrometer taking a while to adjust after a reset, that is expected. All electronic hygrometers take a couple hours to stabilize after being reset or moved into a new location.
Customer Review: Exactly what I expected.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm satisfied with this purchase. The main unit and remote unit each have a hole on the back for hanging on a wall. The main unit also has a stand integrated into the back so you can sit it on a table or bookshelf. Both units can be set to display Fahrenheit or Celsius. Very easy to set up--I only glanced at the instructions when the main unit seemed to be looking for remote sensors for a long time (it will search for 2 minutes). I was a little concerned about the accuracy when I read some of the other reviews, but decided to purchase anyway. I uploaded a photo showing the differences in temperature in relation to my programmable thermostat. They all agreed within a couple of degrees, and the humidity measurement was the same for both the main and remote units.Customer Review: Works Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had this about 2 months and we really like it. We bought it as a replacement for an Oregon Scientific wireless thermometer that worked well, but finally quit after ~10 years. I actually like this Honeywell TM005X better because:
Pros:
1) Large numbers on display
2) Simple design -- doesn't have a clock that needs to be reset every time batteries are changed
Cons -- none of them show stoppers
1) Wireless range between sensor and base isn't quite as far as the Oregon Scientific
2) Has lost connection with the wireless sensor twice in 2 months -- easy to scan and reconnect
3) Doesn't display indoor and outdoor temp/humidity on the same screen --- trade off for large numbers
Customer Review: Precise enough
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent a lot of time doing research on hygrometers and finally bought this one. I'm happy to say I do not regret. Its precision totally fits my needs. When put together, the main and remote units show a difference of 1% in their humidity readings, which is good... I guess. I even bought two dirt cheap mechanical hygrometers to compare all four against each other and get a more unbiased judgement. They all show similar humidity levels as humidity changes.
On the cons side, the buttons are way too stiff and click too loud. And even though I have only one remote unit, in order to cycle readings between the main unit and the remote unit, I have to click through two empty screens, which are reserved for another two remotes.
