Review:
A good gauge
I was sent this temperature/ humidity gauge for review and I
think it's good. It seems well made and
it does the job well.
The gauge looks very smart.
It's pretty big at roughly 10cm square and 2cm thick, but the large
display does make it easy to read. It
can be stood up on a surface using the stand or there's a little hole in the
back for wall mounting, but no hook is provided. It's powered by a single AAA battery
(supplied).
Once set up, it's very simple and clear. Setting up isn't completely straightforward
because the user manual is in such dreadful English that I found I was doing it
mostly by trial and error. However, it's
fairly intuitive and after only a few minutes, just a couple of oaths and a
moment of panic when I thought I couldn’t turn off the alarm (it's OK, I could)
it was set up and working well.
The main display is temperature and humidity. The temperature is accurate and although I
have no way of calibrating the humidity reading it seems to give reasonable
readings. There is also a smaller clock
display and the date in yyyy/mm/dd format which I don't like much, but can live
with. There's a backlight which is
activated for 5 seconds by a button push and an alarm function if you need it.
Everything works fine.
My only small gripe is that the screen is quite sensitive to viewing
angle and is hard to read if you're looking down on it rather than straight at
it. Not a big problem, but a noticeable
one. Other than that, this seems a
robust and functional gauge which works well looks smart, is good value and
which I can recommend.
