Chaney Indoor Thermometer and Humidity Gauge Review. Indoor Thermometer with humidity reading....

I bought this same hygrometer packaged as Acu-Rite brand from a Mill's Fleet Farm more than a year ago. I've always had it turned on since then, and I've never had to change the batteries. I tested the unit not long after I bought it and again just yesterday (using the NaCl and distilled water test) and after 8 hours the display stabilized at 75% just as it should. This is great to see from a $10 unit. I've traveled with this product and it has held up through that as well. I've never tested the accuracy of the thermometer, as I mainly bought this instrument to read RH in an instrument (guitar) room, and guitar cases. I've also owned "The Weather Channel" brand weather stations with built in hygrometers that were more than twice the cost of this product, and found them to read more than 10% off when testing.
Maybe I got lucky and happened to buy a accurate unit, but from my experience with this I highly recommend buying yourself one.

I really like this item. It's very handy and the icons are simple but explanatory at a glance. The only other thing I wish it had was a way to hang it up other than by magnetic as I live in a log home. I'm only sorry I didn't get it sooner!
"Bought Two and Readings Were the Same" 2010-05-09
By Mark Emdee (USA, California)
I bought one and liked it so much that I wanted another one to compare the measurements. I ordered the second one two weeks after ordering the first one, and then I had to wait two more weeks because Amazon was out of them; so maybe they were of different production lots. The readings on each were exactly same on each, except for the temperature on one may have been 0.5 degrees higher. I also like that the MIN and MAX readings are for only the last 24 hours; who cares that an extreme was months ago.

I purchased three of these and have them through out the house. They are accurate, easy to read and cost effective.
