1.0 out of 5 stars Failed Out of the Box - Don't Waste Your Money, September 8, 2009

This is the second Winter Watchman I have purchased and both have failed upon delivery. I set the temperature sensor to turn on a lamp at 40 degrees and after plugging it in, the lamp came on even though the temperature was 60 degrees! The first one was also very inaccurate and during last winter our neighbor kept having to come over to our cottage to check on why the light was on even though the room temp was fine. Very unreliable product. Expected more from Honeywell.

1.0 out of 5 stars False warnings 4x per week, January 17, 2010

This device caused multiple, multiple false alarms in the few weeks I used it. Every time, my concerned neighbors called various people in my family to come and check. Nothing was ever wrong. We eventually discovered that as the temperature went UP, the light went on, as if it has been wired incorrectly. Inaccurate and unreliable, I returned it.

I have had two of these over the past ten years, and they both cause "false alarms". I test all freeze alarms outdoors on the porch, before I use them. One is out there now. It's set for 32*, the temperature is 46* and the light is on. It's inaccurate and erratic. Don't trust it just because it's Honeywell. It's junk. Freezeups can be expensive. Look for something else and test it before you trust your home to it.
