4.0 out of 5 stars Priced well, works as advertised, and simple to install, September 7, 2006

I'm somewhat amused by the previous review. If you cut yourself twice using simple scissors to open a plastic box, then perhaps home improvement is not your forte. Based on that, I would question the reviewer's credibility, your call.

It was simple to install (less than 10 minutes, comes with stickers to label the wires, and instructions are as good as any you'd expect) and it works as advertised. If you don't need a bunch of bells and whistles (we did not need each day programmed differently) and want an accurate digital reading, I recommend this. The Hunter brand when it comes to fans is stalwart, so I bought this with that in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, and works well, September 10, 2007

This review is from: Hunter 44260 Set and Save Programmable Thermostat (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have installed 2 programmable thermostats, this one and a Honeywell.

I installed the Honeywell in a circa 1950's house, and the Hunter in my girfriend's 2 year old house.

Both have been dependable (approaching 2 years since installation) and easy to install (I'm a home repair moron). Because of the wide variety of ac's, furniture, heat pumps, make sure you read the instructions carefully.

Neither of my installations had a heat pump, so they were relatively straightforward. (If I had a heat pump, I think I would have spent a bit more money and gotten one specifically for that...)

Advantages/Disadvantages-

Honeywell-Easier to program, more intuitive controls, THE name in household control. More Expensive (Paid around $50)

Hunter- More Features (Filter Replacement Reminder is nice), less expensive (around $25). Controls are not as straightforward, but instructions are easily accessible on flip down face plate.

Bottom Line-Both will save you money. I've seen a decrease of about 1/3 in my heating/cooling bills.

I bought this to replace my old non-programmable thermostat and it works flawlessly. The installation was simple and it is not very hard to program.
