For quite awhile I've had a Honeywell programmable thermostat, but it wouldn't allow me to set the the temp span. It had a 1 deg span (1/2 deg down and 1/2 deg up) and it looked like it was stuck on one temp (I'm old fashion: I like setting my thermostat manually so I couldn't tell if the furnace had just went off or if it was ready to turn on again, it just stayed on one temp). So a while back I bought a Hunter thermostat just like this one, so that I could set the temp span on it and I really liked it, but it didn't have a back light. Needless to say, its a pain in the A$$ trying to set a temp on a thermostat at night without a back light and now my pain is gone because this Hunter does have a back light, so a lesson learned: before buying a thermostat always make sure it has a back light (in my defense, I guess I was looking too hard at the temp span aspect and over looked the light aspect). I guess it telling that I like this thermostat if I'll spend the extra money just to get a light.

Note: Sorry, I can't comment on the programmable aspect of the thermostat, because even though I have the skills, I'm just old fashion and I haven't use the programmable part of this thermostat

Pros: Easy to install, compact footprint, snaps off mount for easy access when programming, blue backlight screen.

Cons: Changes temperature setting outside it's programmed schedule, very small print on display, somewhat complicated to operate (for a thermostat!)

I bought two units, both "malfunctioned" in the same way I set "Asleep" time to end at 6am (heat was programmed to 55 degrees for Asleep time) but the thermostat changed to "At Home" heat temperature setting (62 degrees) at 5:20am!! I verified several times that I had set it up correctly. I even changed the "Asleep" schedule period to 7am, then the thermostat changed to the "At Home" temperature at 6:30am, while still displaying that it was in the "Asleep" period.
