Completely inaccurate and impossible to calibrate. It does even seem to respond to temperature or humidity. Very very very flimsy construction. Unfortunately, so cheap it is not even worth the hassle of returning. This product should not be on the market. (Sorry to be so negative, but it's true!!)

The item arrived promptly and in relatively good condition. However, the calibration of this instrument left a lot to be desired. This unit was off by at least 8 degrees based on other calibrated instruments used as constants. This item was of absolutely no use in determining the correct temperature. A real bust. However, for ten dollars, it's not the end of the world.

I also bought two of these items and the readings for humidity and temperature were always different between the two instruments. They're completely useless. Amazon should delist this item.

This instrument never worked and was much too delicate in design to be used out of doors. I guess I got what I paid for. Got an old-fashioned thermometer with hygrometer for $1.50 at a local retailer that has been exceptional. Was highly disappointed in my purchase of the one on Amazon.

Total piece of crap. I purchased two and both are consistently at least 10% off on humidity and 5-10 degrees off on temperature. The "confort scale" must have been designed for someone in the Amazon Jungle for it shows "discomfort" beginning at 90% humidity and 85 degrees. For the price charged I thought it woud be a somewhat accurate, sturdy and durable instrument; but it's just cheap plastic. Pass on this one.

All the one star reviews are right on. An absolutely useless piece of junk.

The temperature gage is not even close to being accurate, so I can't trust the hygrometer either. Guess you can't expect accuracy out of something so cheap.

Combined with shipping its just not worth the money. All plastic. Home depot has an electronic one with LCD readout that is less money and no shipping.

I wish I had read the reviews before buying as they are 100% right about the uselessnes of this item. You might as well print the picture off the web on a piece of paper and pin it up, as at least it will be accurate some day!!
The dials are off at least 20 degrees when compared to other instruments and even placed next to a humidifier creates no visible change in the readings. Unfortunately the cost of the unit isn't worth the shipping to get it fixed. Absolute waste of time and money, I'm off now to drop mine into the trash.

Without any outside refenence to give the product some demention to the product shown, it's presentation appeared to be much larger than actual.
It appeared to be abouth 8 to 12 inches across.
But infact it was about 3 inches.
