Very nice looking product, seems to be very well constructed and not at all cheesy.

Thermometer is right on the money with my two HVAC thermostats.

Thermostats display in full degrees, while the TE513 displays full degrees plus tenths.

When the 513 goes from 9/10th to the next full degree, my thermostats change right with it. They couldn't be calibrated closer.

The hygrometer, which is the main reason I purchased the 513, isn't perfect, but it is pretty darn close.

I tested it using the dampened salt in a closed container method, and it topped out at 72%, which is just 3 ticks from the expected 75%.

Neither the 513 thermometer nor hygrometer can be adjusted, so you live with the variance, but for normal household humidity use, 3 ticks off is close enough for me.

I was skeptical about ordering the 513 after reading the 02/05/10 one star review of the charcoal 513 from "Tommy" Aube by Honeywell TE513-7/U Electronic Indoor Thermometer and Humidistat, Charcoal, but figured I'd roll the dice.

I'm going to roll the dice again and order three more 513's, one for the basement, and use the other two as gifts.

Bottom line is, I'm pleased with the product

I purchased two of these units. I kept reporting that the humidity levels for my new humidifiers were too low. A Honeywell factory rep came with his unit and we discovered that both units are off as much as 15%. Remember, this product is made by Honeywell. To prove this to myself, I put the units outdoors and compared them to the observations by the National Weather Service. They were off 20%. I do not recommend this product.

I bought two, out of the package one said 20% the other 40%. I put one upstairs and one downstairs. Over a few days those readings stayed within a few points of where they started. Then I switched them, moving the 40% one upstairs and 20% one downstairs. They essentially kept the same readings. The 20% keeping about 20% whether upstairs or downstairs and the 40% keeping about 40% whether upstairs or downstairs. Then I brought both upstairs. Still, about 20% and 40%. The only logical conclusion is that they really don't work.

Honest reviews on Aube by Honeywell TE513/U Electronic Indoor Thermometer

This small humidity and temperature gauge works well. It is reasonably priced and gives a readout nearly as accurate as a gauge from Oregon Scientific which is many times the price of this gauge. I use this as a second humidity readout in a room away from the more elegant Oregon Scientific gauge.

I had an older, more expensive small gauge and bought this one to be a second gauge for a different location in the house. Later I bought the Oregon Scientific instrument. When I compared the humidity readings between this gauge and the others, this one and the Oregon Scientific agreed. The older, more expensive small gauge was so far off from the others that it went into the trash.

This is a good unit. You won't be disappointed. It is as accurage as a small, low cost unit can be.

Always wondered how hot it was in the office and now I know. I just keep this at my desk and when it hits 80 I head home. I also liked the humidity sensor but right now it reads "LO" which I discovered means it is below the 20% threshold that it can detect. If you need to know very low humidity settings this might not work for you. I keep the humidifier at about 35% at home in the winter and wanted to see how close it was getting.
