Customer Review: works if...
Summary: 3 Stars
Works if you realize that the item needs to be calibrated for temp and humidity. I did this by placing unit into a plastic freezer bag along with 3/4 cup of salt filled to the top of the salt with water this should read 75% RH. My unit read 65% after an hour and would not rise any more after three hours. Now I knew that it read about 10% RH off I felt that I was in the ball park. I did the the temp with a standard mercery gauge noting a difference of -2F. For the money a useful product as long as you don't need exacte readingds and ballpark is good enough for you.Customer Review: Not backlit, difficult to see in some light
Summary: 3 Stars
This seems to work (numbers are about what I expected) though I have not calibrated it to anything else. While the screen is large and the numbers clear, readability is poor in many light situations. Set up is easy and only 1 AAA battery required. It would be perfect if it could be read in all light situations.Customer Review: Overall good
Summary: 3 Stars
I didn't have any kind of problems with this thermometer and it seems to be working well. The only weak point is that you can't simply unplug the wire to the external sensor. That means that it can't be simply moved from a room to another without removing the wire.Customer Review: inconsistent
Summary: 2 Stars
In a stable temperature environment, the temperature displays continually vary about 2-3 degrees every few seconds. Even with the external probe right next to the main unit, the temperatures reported are different by about 3-4 degrees. This unit is getting returned and I'll look for better one, even if it costs a few dollars more.Customer Review: Off
Summary: 2 Stars
It works fine but the readings are about 4 degrees off. When the outside sensor is placed next to the unit, both readings - in and out - should be the same yet there is a 4 degree difference. Which reading is correct ?????
