5.0 out of 5 stars Delicate but accurate, December 20, 2008

I've owned this product for 3 weeks and it has performed well---so far. It is delicate so it won't take much abuse. It's plastic construction means two long-term problems: 1) aging of the plastic; 2) it could be easily crushed. But, then again, brass corrodes and electronics are not much more robust. For its price this is a good instrument package. I have checked it against an electronic meter and it does very well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and broken, September 21, 2009

This review is from: Hygrometer/Thermometer (Kitchen)

My Hygrometer/Thermometer arrived broken - the dial was not connected to the coils behind the plate. I could take it apart and put it back together (which I did), but then I had to find a way to calibrate it. If I already knew the temperature and humidity, I wouldn't have needed to buy it! So it's not clear the reading is even meaningful. Since it definitely needs calibration (when it arrives without hands on the dials connected), it would be great if you could do so externally rather than by taking it apart (over and over) and forcing the hands to move.

Don't expect the instrument to look like anything other than a plastic toy. The dial looks OK in the photo, but in person, it looks like a $1.00 device you buy at a kid's store. When you take it apart, you see just two tiny 1/2" diameter coils and that's it.

Clearly you get what you pay for when you buy a cheap item (it's not expensive except for shipping). Don't be fooled by the photo or the rave description. Calling it "precision" is true irony.

Good value humidity and temp measure device.
Humidity measures 8% too high but otherwise okay.
