    Shipped with a sealed AAA battery ready for use. Use mine in an indoor bike shed to track temperature and rising humidity as the session progresses. I can’t vouch for the absolute accuracy but it tracks changes and seems quite sensitive. Good value for money.

    Bought this as the heat in my room was getting to points where I felt like I was going to faint (computer in a small room during the summer is a recipe for disaster). Has worked amazingly and I know to turn the computer off and take a break outside when it starts to get to 29C.

    It tells the temperature and humidity of the room. Nice and petite so it isn’t actually fullon and in your face. Very pleased with it and no complainrs so far.

    Bought to replace an old one I’d had years, this one is very accurate as far as I can tell and gives virtually identical readings to our much more expensive ones.

    Battery was included in the package which was good to see. using the little stand on the back, but it also has a small magnet on the back for putting on the fridge or anywhere else magnetic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate

    Had reason to contact customer service this week as my thermometer purchased Oct 23 broke. The display staarted being unreadable. Never dealt with a company so well. Explained the problem was told a replacement would be sent out and could they have an address and contact email to arange this. It arrived within a week. Not only did l receive a replacement for the faulty product they actually sent 2 of them. what a company. A*****. Thanks.

    This little square is sitting on a shelf in my living room.
    My hubby thinks our heating shouldn’t be on its “”not cold, it’s summer ‘x
    Hello no, my little square says I am cold and I can put the heating on even if it is July.

    I bought this for my server room, to keep an eye on the temperature and humidity levels to ensure the room wasnt going to cause damage to the equipment in there. It’s lovely, cheap and works! I tested it against another thermometer I had and it was spot on. When the humidity is at the correct level, you get a little smiley face and so it proudly sits smiling at me 🙂

    I don’t know if this is a way to save battery and it isn’t a big deal in most cases since you get the humidity and temperature that is all you really need, however you’d think there would always be a face to indicate good, bad or meh conditions. The cost is average and there’s nothing to complain about, it does it’s job in providing measures of temperature as promised, however if you’re expecting the face to always appear, you’re going to need to face the fact it isn’t always there.

    I cannot comment on the accuracy as I have nothing to calibrate it against but it shows increases and decreases when expected. I also cannot rate “temperature control” for which a star rating is requested because it doesn’t set out to do this. It is a straightforward, easy to read gauge used in our bathroom to monitor humidity and we are completely happy with it.

    I bought this while waiting and deciding on what dehumidifier to buy for our home. We live in a damp climate and I knew I needed to buy one to monitor the humidity. Prevention is key to avoid later problems. The quality is great and it works very well. It’s super simple to set up and I leave it attached to my fridge where I can easily see the display at all times. It seems to measure the humidity quite effectively. Nice easy display to read.

    I have it on my fridge in the kitchen so i can see the humidity level for when working with wafer paper, also helps with my display cakes too. Great that it has the temperature as well. Works well, magnet sticks to the fridge well, easy to read/understand

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersI bought this indoors thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature inside my home as I do not have any automated programmed heating. I wasn’t keen to spend too much, just have an idea of what the temperature and humidity are inside. This one is perfect, it feels like a bargain to be honest, it works perfectly, seems accurate, you just need a simple regular battery (not a fancy button-battery which you rarely find in your local store. Its size is perfect, it sits on my desk as I work from home and I know straight away when it gets too cold and I should put the heating on. I have had it for several months now and it stills works perfectly, I did not expect the quality of it would be so good.
    There is a magnet at the back so you can pin it on a fridge for instance, but also a little pull-up piece to have it standing on a shelf or desk.
    Digital display is large enough to see the numbers without trouble, I’m thinking it would be very convenient for an elderly person or to have in a baby room.

    i baught 4 of them one for each room and they are mostly accruate in the temp but the weather part is bad i have seen it say its fine when its pooring with rain outside.
    so if all you want is something to tell what the temps are like in each room they are a bargin but if you are expecting the humidity part to work you will be dissapointed.

    Used the built-in magnet to attach it to the front of the fridge at eye level. Bright and clear display. I have a similar gadget upstairs but a different make. Brought that downstairs to compare the two and the readings were very similar so no problems there. Good purchase.

    This works accurately as humidity levels clearly go up when it’s exposed to wet washing, steam, then go down when a window is opened. It’s encouraging me to open my window more often in winter first thing and if I’m having to dry washing indoors, to bring the humidity levels down.

    I wanted to be able to check the humidity in my house as I was getting some mould appearing on skirting boards etc. Buying 6 was cheaper per item and I’m glad I bought that many as I was able to check they were all showing the same readings when i first got them and I can just easily check each room.

    It arrives exactly the same as it appears in the product shot though it is smaller than I expected. No smiley or sad faces indicated next to the humidity reading. I wonder if it should be so?!
    Otherwise, the design is as simple as it is.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersIf you are looking for a simple and reliable way to keep track of the temperature and humidity levels in your home, office, or any other indoor space, you might want to consider the ThermoPro TP49 digital hygrometer indoor thermometer. This small but smart device can help you maintain optimal conditions for your health and comfort, as well as for your plants, pets, and other belongings.

    The ThermoPro TP49 is a digital stick thermometer that can measure the temperature range from -50C to 70C and the humidity range from 10% to 99% relative humidity. It has a large LCD display that shows the current readings, as well as the all-time or 24-hour high and low records. It also has a comfort level indicator that displays three types of smile icons, indicating whether the indoor environment is wet, dry, or comfortable1.

    The thermometer is easy to use and set up. It comes with a stand, a magnet mount, and a mounting slot on the back, so you can place it on a table, stick it on a fridge, or hang it on a wall. You can also switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius modes by pressing a button. The device runs on a single AAA battery that is included in the package and can last for at least 18 months.

    Some of the pros and cons:

    Pros:

    – It is accurate and fast, refreshing every 10 seconds to give you the latest data.
    – It is compact and lightweight, measuring only 5.5 x 6.6 x 1.9 cm and weighing 40 grams.
    – It is affordable, costing less than 7 on Amazon UK.
    – It has a low power consumption display that saves battery life.
    – It has a simple and elegant design that blends well with any dcor.

    Cons:

    – It does not have any backlight or sound features, so it might be hard to read in the dark or hear any alerts.
    – It does not have any memory function, so you cannot store or review past data.
    – It does not have any wireless or smart connectivity, so you cannot sync it with your phone or other devices.
    – It does not have any calibration or adjustment options, so you have to rely on the factory settings.

    It is a good option for anyone who needs a basic and reliable device to monitor indoor temperature and humidity levels. It is suitable for various purposes, such as checking the comfort level of your bedroom, living room, or office, ensuring the proper conditions for your plants, pets, or reptiles, or preventing the growth of mould, bacteria, or dust mites. It is also easy to use and set up and has a long battery life.

    However, if you are looking for a more advanced and feature-rich device, you might want to look for other options. For example, you might prefer an in-ear thermometer that is more comfortable and convenient to use, or a WiFi-enabled thermometer that can connect to your phone or smart home system, or a thermometer that has a backlight, sound, memory, or calibration functions. You can compare the ThermoPro TP49 with some of the other best indoor thermometers of 2023 to see which one suits your needs and preferences better.

    In conclusion, the ThermoPro TP49 is a small but smart device that can help you monitor the indoor temperature and humidity levels. It is accurate, fast, compact, lightweight, affordable, and easy to use. It has a large LCD display, a comfort level indicator, and a low power consumption display. However, it lacks some of the features that other thermometers have, such as backlight, sound, memory, calibration, or wireless connectivity. Therefore, it is a good choice for anyone who needs a simple and reliable device, but not for anyone who wants a more sophisticated and versatile device.

    Golden Review Award: 18 From Our UsersI love this little thing, it’s much smaller than I expected which I think is a plus, it’s powered via an included triple-A battery and works instantly. It has a (not very strong) magnet at the back which I use to fix it to my fridge (it wasn’t strong enough to sit on my whiteboard without falling down) and can also be mounted via a single screw if you don’t mine making a hole on the surface you intend to fix it to. The text on the display is very large very easy to read but the screen is not backlit so it cannot be used in a dark-room. The price is very affordable for what you get and the fact it shows temperture and humidity at the same time is really nice. I don’t know if the humidity readings are accurate but the temperture readings match my heatpump thermostat within 0.1 degree centirgate so I’m pretty confidence. A great buy!

    Seems accurate, has a stand on the back plus a nail hook and magnet which is handy. Not the strongest magnet but works ok on a flat surface. I use it for temp and humidity around my house plants – it gets moved fairly regularly. Also comes with battery. I’ve not bought a second yet but will do later in the year when the heating goes on and the house dries out.

    Thermometer works well and the moisture in the air shows the same as my dehumidifier. Works well, nice and compact.

    The only thing that made me give it 4 stars is that it doesn’t have a standard or something. You just have to keep it balanced upright, so it’s easy to accidentally knock it over.

    These thermometers arrived quickly, are adequate for intended use and are easy to read. They all seem to display the same temperature which is good, but one of them doesn’t work at all, so I am one short, but not intending on purchasing another because one has failed. I was going to buy individually at first, but then I saw a better offer for a pack of 4 and went with that, maybe I shouldn’t have changed my mind as it has now cost me more in the long run!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe’ve hardly turned heating on this winter. This reassures that the room isn’t humid and therefore the fabric of the building and the electrical appliances are not being expensively wrecked because of our careful use of energy. The less energy we all use the less the demand, which will allow stocks to be replenished across Europe and the price should fall. All this reduces the leverage Putin has and it also reduces his profits that are financing his illegal and inhuman war. Our way of fighting Russia at a distance.

    In these days of increasing fuel bills, we bought this to determine exactly how cold we were, or weren’t. We already had another one in another room and placing both in the same location they give near identical readings. So I am prepared to believe they are fairly accurate. We have cranked the heating down to 18.5C and bought onesy’s, we look like gigantic teddy bears, but hopefully warm ones. It is nice to be able to see at a glance what the temperature is.

    We had a issue with a shower extractor fan that is triggered by the increase in humidity when the shower is used. It has been possible to monitor the background humidity in the shower room and then to set the fan at the lowest point of increase. Prior to this the fan would run for up to six hours once set off; a somewhat challenging for anyone trying to sleep in the en suite bedroom.

    Has this version in my greenhouse running an electric heater for 5 years now, greenhouse contains carnivorous plants which need to be kept damp so a very damp environment. Suspend the temp sensor from the ridge to measure air temperature. Has worked flawlessly. Don’t use the cooling aspect but no reason to doubt it. Have purchased this item again to run a heating cable in a propagator tray. Straightforward to program, set a target temperature at which to shut off, then an allowed drop before restarting. Eg 25C and 2C heats until reaches 25C then shuts off power, restart heating when temperature falls to 23C. Similar for cooling cool to a temp, then off, restart cooling when temp rises by set amount. Like being able to simply plug in a13A plug direct from the heater, and reliability.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI purchased two of these TP49 thermometers 2 years ago. They are still going strong with the same 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries (“LONLIFE” brand) that came with them in the box. Just measured the 2 year old used batteries and they are at 1.4V. Fresh unused batteries of this type are at 1.65V (I know this because I just purchased two TP50 thermometers a few days ago and they came with the exact same batteries. Most AA and AAA alkaline batteries start with 1.65V and die at 0.9-1.0V.)

    I tested the thermometer with different voltage levels (provided by a programmable DC power supply). It seems to be able to operate between 1.0V and 1.65V but the lower the voltage the lower the contrast of the LCD screen becomes. At 1.4V the drop in contrast isn’t significant so using the same AAA alkaline battery for two years (like I did) isn’t an issue. At 1.3V there is a noticeable drop in contrast: the segments are semi-transparent/grey instead of sharp black. At 1.1V the LCD screen is barely readable. For the above reasons using 1.2V or 1.25V rechargeable AAA batteries might not be a good idea.

    Viewing angles: the LCD is sharpest when viewed from top/left/right, a bit less sharp from the front and significantly less sharp from bottom. Very typical design in case of segmented LCD displays.

    If I leave my two TP49 and two TP50 thermometers on my desk to let them stabilise then their temperature measurements are very close. The difference between the lowest and highest reading is at most 0.2C (but sometimes all of them show the exact same readings) and they seem to agree with my mercury thermometer too. The difference between the lowest and highest humidity measurements can be up to 7-8%. Three of the thermometers are very close to each other (within a 3% range) but one of the TP50 units provides a noticeably higher value when the humidity is above 50-60%. At lower humidity (30-40%) the spread between the measurements isn’t as high. Most of these seem to satisfy the claimed specs (1C and 2-3%RH) except the humidity readings on one of my TP50 units. (However, in case of humidity most people don’t need very accurate readings.) This isn’t military-grade precision but I don’t expect much better from an inexpensive consumer-oriented device. The downside to this is that you may get a dud if you buy only one unit.

    Comparing the TP49 (this model) to the TP50: the most obvious difference is that the TP50 is a bit larger (both the display and the frame around it which includes thickness of the device: 2.0cm VS 1.5cm) and it remembers the lowest and highest readings since the last reset. In terms of design there are pros and cons on both the TP49 and the TP50 side:

    The reflective LCD background of the TP50 is lighter which seems to result in a bit better contrast. However, I prefer the LCD of the TP49. My problem with the TP50 is that with a full battery (1.5V or higher) the inactive LCD segments become too visible when I look at the display at an angle (45+ degrees from the left/top/right). I prefer the display layout of the TP49: it shows the temperature at the top of the screen. The TP50 shows the humidity at the top (with a bit larger/taller numbers than what it uses for the temperature value and I find that a bit annoying).

    The design of the battery cover of the TP49 is inferior. Opening the battery compartment requires only a minimal amount of pressure on the central snap-fit joint that is easy to apply accidentally by simply picking up the thermometer. Without touching that area the lid seems to be secure enough. The TP50 changed and improved the design of the battery compartment significantly.

    Unlike the TP50 the TP49 can be attached to the head of a screw or nail. The magnet in the TP49 is smaller and shiny, it is located at the centre instead of the top. Attaching it to a flat surface with screw/nail or magnet obstructs the holes on its backside and that might affect it readings or the speed at which it follows changes to temperature/humidity. The TP50 has a larger dark ferrite magnet at the top: even after attaching it to a flat surface there is a 1mm gap for the ventilation holes on the backside.

    Both the TP49 and TP50 have a 10 second refresh rate. This seems to be a reasonably good balance between battery life and response time. Their power consumption patterns seem to be very similar: both models spend about 7 seconds in idle and 3 seconds with reading the sensors and updating the info on the screen (during a full 10 second refresh cycle). Based on my measurements the TP50 seems to consume a bit more.
