Not what they used to be I purchased one of these about ten years ago. I bought it because I wanted something simple and reliable that didn’t need a battery. Nor did I want something that required me to spend an hour with the operating manual learning how to use it. Since I had no interest at the time in a programmable thermostat, Honeywell’s classic round model was a good choice.
Honey isn’t well. Cheap junk. DON’T !!! I’m sixty four years old and have installed a lot of thermostats. This one is such a piece of junk that I almost threw it away. The screws that hold the wires are so small that I had to use a jeweler’s screw driver. They aren’t strong enough to hold the wires. There are are these small non tapered screws that hold the circuitry on that are a fingernail longer that the recessed holes they go in which keep falling out and disappearing. A real frustration piece. This is not the Honeywell…
Thermostat for the “simple minded”, non-engineer type I had installed a thermostat which was much more complicated to try to save electricity and keep my house at an “even” temperature.We found that it was much too complicated and needed an engineer to operate it.So I replaced it with this very simple one that one cannot make a mistake with. So far it has performed very well and requires little-to-no attention.
