Not happy

Pros: It works. Working now for longer than probe thermo I got at same time. I guess that is something ;)

Cons: Way off target as far as accuracy. In vs Out is off by 0.5-1 degC.
However the real issue is its out of whack by more than 1 DegC overall.
This is compared to 3 other digi thermos that all read within a few decimals of each other.

Other Thoughts: Not a bad set of features. Min max is always good. Min/max alarm is a great feature. No humidity as already mentioned.

Bottomline: Would be 1/2 decent if it was ballpark accurate. Unfortunately it is too inaccurate to be of much use at all unless you have an accurate reference to account for its variance.
I noticed another user grabbed 3 of these & they all read within a few points of each other. I can only assume from this they are all calibrated to an innacurate baseline.

Seems spot on

Pros: Cheap
Seems accurate

Cons: No hygrometer as advertised
Takes a loooonnnng time for probe to equilibrate to right temp

Other Thoughts: Useful for applications where two temps need to be recorded, such as a reptile enclosure.

Bottomline: Accurate and good value

Accurate and Good Value!

Pros: I purchased three of these, and the simple test of putting them in a box and letting them sit there for an hour worked! All the readings for the indoor sensor and out door probs (that were also in the box) all showed withing a range of 0.5 degrees. Six sensors all being within 0.5 degrees is an excellent result!

Cons: Its a little cheapishly made, but the components inside are what count, and they do their job.

Other Thoughts: When you open the back to put a battery in it looks like it takes two, but as advertised, it only has connectors for 1xAAA

Bottomline: Great accuracy for the price. Im using it to find hotspots inside my computer case, works wonders with the prob.

Its useful

Pros: This thermometer works pretty well. Putting the Outdoor wire next to the meter shows around ~0.02F difference. Pretty accurate.

Cons: None

Bottomline: As long as it works its good.
