this made in china product seemed very appealing to me because of its memory capability for the humidity inside the guitar case. I purchased 4 of them since i own 4 different classical guitars as well as acoustic guitars each worth over $3000, and you can imagine my anxiety when the heater is on and the humidifier may not be enough to protect them. when i opened the box, the items looked o.k., but when i tested the hygrometerPlanet Waves Acoustic Guitar Humidifier with HTS the reading was WAY OFF. i actually put the hygrometer right in front of my humidifier and it barely changed its reading where as my other hygrometer detected it immediately. i hope the humidifier works better than the hygrometer......

I bought this for my Takamine and disappointed me after my first use. I have a humudifier with hyydro numbers on it and this never matched with that. But I accept the fact it gave me +3-3 numbers so I was OK with it. It comes also with stickers you can sort of put on your bookshelf but they fell down in 2 days.It has a cheesy workmanship and it gives you approximate numbers.Well deserved 2 stars.

I found this instrument to be horrible. It is always off. I live in Durango, Colorado where we see regular dry temps. I am very frustrated and in search of another option.

I have two Oasis Hygrometers, one for each guitar case and got the Planet Waves Hygrometer for my new guitar. They are all C.F. Martins, high quality guitars. I found the Planet Waves Hygrometer to be consistent with the readings of the Oasis models give or take a few points.
It offers more than the Oasis Hygrometer in that you can log in a set point for humidity. If the humidity drops below your desired level, (45-55% is recommended), a droplet icon will appear indicating the need for more water. The velcro fasteners could be better but I simply put the whole unit in the storage compartment of my hardshell guitar case. Even keeps a log of the past humidity/temp readings in the memory. Well done Planet Waves!
