I own 4 of these thermostats and have had them for more than 5 years. They are installed at 2 separate residences.
This thermostat requires 2 full charge AAA batteries to function properly. There is a "Low Battery" notification in the unit's LCD display, however, the electronics are not correctly designed to indicate "Low Battery" soon enough. This means that the thermostat will operate incorrectly for perhaps 6 months or more with batteries which have a lower voltage than required for correct function. This incorrect function will occur way before the "Low Battery" signal is ever displayed, causing heating or air conditioning to cycle too often at incorrect temperatures, regardless of what the temperature is set at.
So, if you purchased this otherwise excellent thermostat, and are having temperature regulation issues, and unneccessary heat/air conditoning cycles, install 2 new AAA batteries, and the problems will be resolved. In my case, batteries last a little over a year before needing replacement. Replacing batteries has always solved the problem, but I have never once seen the "Low Battery" on the LCD display work soon enough.
If it weren't for this issue, I would rate this product "5 Star". But they just didn't do their engineering job correctly. Otherwise, it is a great value and a great thermostat. I do like the simplicity and the large display.

I bought this thermostat because I have purchased other items from this company and have been very satisfied with the quality. I am not only a busy mother, but not very good with programming electronics. This thermostat was easy to install and, so far, very easy to operate. The numbers are large and easy to read, so I don't have to run for my reading glasses every time I want to look at the temp. What I thought would be an intimidating project was a pleasant experience. I would definitely buy from Lux again.
