EUGO temperature and humidity gauge


Rating: 4/5

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.
