i think it needs calibrating... |
|
I had this thermometer for around 3 years inside my humidor and now I'm sorry I trusted it. I just bought a new wine fridge (for the cigars and the wine) because this thermometer kept saying my old one was too warm. Then I inserted the thermometer inside the fridge and it never seemed to go down below 62 degrees even though I had set the fridge at 55. Well, I just put a mercury wall thermometer in the fridge and it went down to 54 immediately, while this one still showed 62. So it's off by about 9 degrees! I could have kept my old wine fridge too... |

My Hygrometer was off 3 degrees |
|
I was disappointed to see that the temperature guage was off 3 degrees. The seller replaced it with a new one quickly however and the 2nd one was very accurate. The humidity setting are easy to use and very helpful. |

Guitar case hygrometer |
|
I needed a hygrometer to keep tabs on moisture inside my guitar case. The Caliber III works quite well and is out of the way so I don't worry about damage to my guitar. |

Slow to respond to humidity changes and not as accurate as others |
The unit I received reads about 6.5% low. Also it takes a very long time to adjust to changes (took a full 12 hours to achieve a steady reading in a controlled environment). These two aren't really issues of themselves, but one of the key features is that this device can monitor highs and lows during the day - with such a slow response to changes, I'm unlikely to really see high/low peaks.
Overall it's usable, but the cheaper analog gauges I have are more accurate and respond quickly to changes. |

Hygrometer |
|
It lacks precision. So, only when the level of humidity is below 30% I use the humidifier. But often the humidity level is lower, but the hygrometer would not adjust quickly, but only after 10 or smth minutes. |
