5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hygrometer for guitar cases, January 8, 2008

This review is from: Caliber III Thermometer Hygrometer (Kitchen)

I bought this hygrometer after a lot of research. I use it to monitor the humidity level in my acoustic guitar cases. The hygrometer is compact (fits nicely in guitar cases), is easy to read, and has the nice feature of a record of highs and lows. It is very responsive, in fact I bought two (two guitars!) and tested them side by side, and they basically changed simultaneously. If you pick it up, within seconds the recorded humidity level changes just from the moisture of your hand! It has the industry reputation for being the most accurate hygrometer, and my experience bears that reputation out. I highly recommend this hygrometer for acoustic guitar owners, though for whatever reason it is typically just listed for cigar humidors - guitar makers, dealers, and players should all take notice.

I used the Boveda One-Step Calibration to see how accurate this hygrometer is and the Caliber III was dead on. What you see is the actual humidity rating. I have used other hygrometers before, but this is the most accurate one I have come across.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mine was off by +4%, November 10, 2008

I must be the unlucky one. I was convinced that this hygrometer would be accurate as all the reviews say. Unfortunately I must have got the few that passed QA. I purchased the One Step EZ Hygrometer Calibrating Kit from a local cigar store and after following the directions to the T, my hygrometer was reading +4%. I thought it had to do w/ how the room temperature was affecting the reading. So I conducting two other tests where the room temp was at 80 degrees and one at 65 degrees. Still it read 79% humidity for both tests when the Calibration kit says it should be reading 75%.

Long story short which every hygrometer you purchase I would recommend purchasing a calibration kit and just put a sticky note on your hygrometer w/ the +/- of how much it's off to remind you of the true reading.
