Comment:
I've owned this Honeywell thermostat for about a year now and have had to change the 3 'AAA' batteries probably 4 times. Granted I'm using rechargables so they're likely not as powerful but this is certainly not what I wanted to have to do every three months. <br /><br />The touch screen is also a bit wonky. At times I have to really apply pressure for a response. Huge difference compared to that of say an iPhone. <br /><br />Otherwise, works as described. No issue in terms of its function. Has saved me about 20% off my hydro bill.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
