The good design, though executed in China, is a great value. I installed it myself to replace a 25 year old, 3 wire mechanical unit with no problem. Programming was intuitive and straightforward. I especially like the 1 thru 9 "swing" setting which controls how often the system runs to correct room temperature. If you're can tolerate wider swings, you'll save a little money, but if you're delicate, the lowest setting keeps temperature very close to the set point. And it's nicely made.

I had to buy a second one. As a landlord with quite a few thermostats to take care of, this low cost product is straight forward, full featured, and very easy to operate without reading complicated manuals or learning. It's intuitive nature, as well as full feature set, give me more satisfaction than others I have paid a lot more for. Plus, I like the blue background lighting. And, for a person who usually needs to put on his glasses, I can read this one at a glance without them.Best Deals on Lux PSP511LC 5-2 Day Deluxe Programmable Thermostat
Have had the unit a few months now and it is working great. Wiring instructions where a little tricky but I got it on the first try. To my advantage I was a industrial electrician for ten years. The programing is very easy. Being able to program the swing setting is one of the features that really sold me on this unit and it works great. A lot of the other higher priced units out there do not offer this feature and control to .25 or .5 degf. May make it a little more comfortable but starting and stopping is hard on hvac systems, plus the startup current draw will cost you more in electricity.Honest reviews on Lux PSP511LC 5-2 Day Deluxe Programmable Thermostat
I looked at everything, from non-programmables to the high end wifi/internet enabled. In the end, I chose a simple week/weekend programmable for our family. Basically, I want the HVAC to setback at night and when away and to switch on in the morning and evenings when we're home. As long as I have that, 95% of the time it's perfect; keeping us at a good balance of comfort & efficiency. The other 5% is not worth worrying about as it's easily changed with a bump up or down with an override. That's a two button press on this unit; once to activate the backlight and once more to change the temp. It will reset on the next scheduled change. I just want to set it and forget it and that's just what this thermostat offers. For about $30, it's hard to find a better value. This is so simple to program as well. I've seen some similar units that are just too complex to figure out. This one, you likely can program w/o reading the instructions. If you need multi-stage control, you'll have to look elsewhere. I have three of these installed two on gas furnaces with AC and one on a heat pump. This offers filter change alerts and temperature swing adjustment control. Separate programs are stored for heat and cool, activated by a manual change over. In another home I had LUX brand 7-day units, but in the end, I was programming one day and then copying it to the rest of the week. I think a custom day to day schedule is good for one, maybe two people. In the case of the average family, that's just too complex to attempt to manage; it's just easier to set an all-encompassing schedule once.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lux PSP511LC 5-2 Day Deluxe Programmable Thermostat
No issues with the installation, took a few minutes (heat only). Wish the light would stay on or stay on longer, would be a great feature considering our dark hallway. Happy with the purchase though.
