Yes, this IS a great thermostat. They thought of everything. It is easy to read, has a built in light with battery, and took 30 minutes to install. It replaced a round Honeywell, or should I say Model T!! Buy it you'll like it!!

We bought this because of it's top rating in Counsumer Reports and the large backlighted display. Our hall is dark and previously the lights had to be turned on to check and adjust the thermostat. So far, it's lived up to it's top rating. The large lighted display is easy to read and the touch screen works very well. Temperature holds within 1 to 2 degrees and the displayed reading is accurateWiring connections are by use of pinch block clamps which made hook-up a snap. No looping wires around screw type binding posts. Another nice feature is a "Change Filter" prompt that can be programmed from 240 to 720 operating hours.
The only thing I miss is the lack of a "Current Setting" button. This can be usefull when the thermostat is in "Hold" mode to see at a glance what the temperature setting would be if the program were running; minor quibble. The manual is ok but could use improvement.
Overall, I'm very satisfied!

This controller replaces my old Honeywell programmable thermostat. I have a 4-wire system with forced air heat and AC.It was a breeze to install, but the programming guide could use some work. It seems odd that after you select a start time, if you hit "next" to move over to the set point temperature without first pressing "yes" to acknowledge the program start time, it does not save the start time and instead goes back to the default time that was pre-programmed. So after every start time and temperature you change from the preset programming, you MUST press YES and then move on to adjusting the other programming functions. Why have a YES and a NEXT feature??? Change it to ENTER and delete a button.
That said, the large display, high Consumer Reports rating and backlighting make this a winner over most of the other programmable thermostats out there.
BTW I had a question that I e-mailed to LUX customer support on a Sunday night and had a response by lunch on Monday, so I'm not sure if the previous poster just had a bad customer support experience or if I just had a good one.
