5.0 out of 5 stars
Small, cheap, accurate, hard to adjust,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quality Importers HygroSet II Round Digital Hygrometer for Humidors (Kitchen)
Bought three (one for each room) + the calibration kit. Calibrated one, and then matched the other two to it. All were within 2% when they arrived, one needed no changes.
Adjusting them is hard, needed some trial and error. I used another meter as a control while I adjusted the first one. They are very sensitive, touching them briefly will cause the temp and humidity readings to change, so I had to make a change, let it settle for a few minutes, and try again. It sure was cool seeing all three meters read exactly the same when I was done. These meters are small, about 1.5" across. Mine had stick-on magnets, and the magnet came unstuck after a few months. Pressing it back on has worked so far. I tried several other (more expensive) consumer humidity meters under $50, and none even came close to the accuracy of these. Some claimed adjustability but they wouldn't adjust at all. My previous one read low by about 6%, and some I tried were off by up to 10%. After that experience I will never use an uncalibrated humidity meter again. I was worried I would have to buy one of those $100+ laboratory models to get an accurate reading, these guys came to my rescue. Now my guitars are safe, my shower no longer has mold, and I don't let it get too dry which promotes various infections (sinus and throat). I like around 55-60% relative, and slightly higher when I sleep. Update: almost a year later, the stick-ons won't stick back on anymore. The cool part is all three of them still give identical readings, no recalibration seems to be needed, and the batteries haven't run out yet either.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quality Importers HygroSet II Round Digital Hygrometer for Humidors (Kitchen)
I purchased three hygrometers from Amazon.com.
- Little Havana Hygrometer ($22.59) - Caliber III Digital Humidifier & Temperature Gauge ($19.99) - HygroSet II Adjustable Round Digital Hygrometer ($20.00) Using the salt test, after 9 hours i took the initial recording. I recalibrated the HygroSet II and let them all sit another 4 hours... - Little Havana Hygrometer ($22.59) 78% RH - 78.6 degrees F not able to calibrate - same after 4 more hours. - Caliber III Digital Humidifier & Temperature Gauge ($19.99) 76% RH - 78.3 degrees F not able to calibrate - same after 4 hours - HygroSet II Adjustable Round Digital Hygrometer ($20.00) 73% RH - 78 degrees F After calibration 75% RH and 78 degrees F I will buy the HygroSet again and highly recommend it. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was due to it not being accurate out of the box. Overall, good product for the money.

I am happy I also bought the calibration kit, because the hygrometer I received was off by 2%. It was easy to calibrate and now it works just fine.
