Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For quick and simple info on atmospheric conditions, the Taylor 1523 monitor tracks both temperature and humidity levels on a straightforward screen. Outfitted with a wire probe for placing outside, the unit toggles between outdoor temp and indoor temp readings. Its humidity display is just below and slightly smaller than the temp readout. The numeric layout is large and readable, and a backlight makes visibility easier. For long-term tracking, the model also includes high/low recall for both temperature and humidity. Built with a handy little flip stand, the piece runs on a single AAA battery, which is not included.

1.0 out of 5 stars Barely Functional, December 20, 2008

This product is not worth $10. Its temperature and humidity gauge is barely functional. The construction is shoddy, the backlight does not work, even with fully charged 1 AAA battery, the screen is only visible at 40-50% opacity, and sometimes is completely not visible unless you tilt it up and down and keep adjusting and maybe it'll come back on. If they had priced it at $3.99 it would have been more worth it. I'm very disappointed.

Device reads temps ok, but buttons for backlight and changing all settings do not work at all. Since gives temp and I don't need the backlight I will keep it, but it should work as advertised.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very accurate, July 1, 2009

I recently bought this to measure the difference in temperature in various outdoor locations, I started by putting 3 of them in the exact location so they would start with the same temp and humidity level. Unfortunately, they never reached a point where they had the same reading. It's good but not accurate.
