This is great. A very useful product, which has performed well and been so useful for us. Well made, reliable and a lot better quality than expected.
As ever, you can’t tell from purchasing online exactly what gets delivered – but this has been an excellent purchase and one we are so pleased with.
Well made, well presented, great packaging, great quality and value – highly recommended by us.
The display is clear and sharp LCD – even at angles above eye level though there is some fade to be expected. There is a nice indicator showing Dry/Comfort/Wet that corresponds to the relatively humidity, but only indicates one of three states rather than acting like a slider.
I found that after unboxing and inserting batteries, it reported inaccurate information for around an hour. It then slowly settled on the correct humidity, as checked against 2 other devices with built in hydrometers with a variance of around 2-3% which I would expect.
Lastly, should you need to switch between celsius and farenheit, there is a button behind the battery compartment to toggle between the two.
The other nitpick is that the power on/off is located behind the battery cover plate, so if your one of those people that like to switch things like this on and off, then it’s an extra step. Nothing major but worth noting. Readings wise, the humidity displayed an offset of 5% of what my dehumidifier was displaying, and the temp was within 1 degree of what my room thermostat was displaying. I’d take that as fine as unless your going to be paying serious money for calibrated sensors etc, then all bets off off in my opinion.
All in all then, I quite like this unit from a visual point of view and it seems to be reasonably accurate though do bear in mind the negatives I rasied.
The only slight downside of this device is that the on/off control button is located on the back behind the battery panel, so in order to turn off the display you would have to remove it from the wall (or pick it up from the shelf), take off the back panel and press the button inside where the two batteries are located. I would have preferred an external button location so it’s not too inconvenient to turn off/on if needed – it seems there are unnecessarily too many steps to follow in order to just turn off/on the device.
Pros
– very simple to use
– seems to be made with reasonable quality materials
– can turn it on or off if required
Cons
– 2 batteries
2 batteries to run this thing might be a bit of an issue if it kills them quick. But so far it’s been doing well. Seems to show a fairly accurate reading as it matches what I would be expecting from the position I have it in compared to another one in the room that I use as a general room temperature gauge away from the window. This one is currently sat next to the window so I can keep an eye on the temperatures where the plants are. It’s showing about 1 degree lower value than the general room temp. So this is where I would expect it to be around with the current temperatures. There is a +/- 1 degree accuracy thing going on but that’s the same with the one I have for general room temp. So they’re probably reading there or there abouts.
If you’re after absolute accuracy because every .1 of a degree matters, you’re probably not looking at the cheaper options for that.
The material quality is good. The battery cover doesn’t require anything but a finger nail. I did find it a little difficult without having much nail but I did loosen it enough to manage it. Which is good, means the batteries should be in and secure with a good connection.
The batteries are held in and take a bit of a push to get in there as well so I don’t have a doubt they’re nice and secure overall.
The display is pretty clear although if it’s backlit, it will be more difficult to read as it’s not the brightest display. Most people probably aren’t having it backlit with natural light though like I am.
Overall, at 8.99, it’s a pretty reasonable price to performance in my opinion.
Pretty good quality!
