Changed my mechanical t-stat in a new travel trailer to this digital one. I had 2 portable thermometers in the TT, one in the front and one in the back, and this t-stat is in the middle. They all 3 read exactly the same temp, which is good. When I first fired up the furnace on an outing this weekend is when I noticed the quirk, which may be a quirk with all digital t-stats in such a small area. The temp in the TT was reading 62 on all 3 thermometers so I fired up the furnace and set it to 68 then went outside with our friends. I came back in about 30 minutes later because I noticed the furnace was still running and found the inside of the TT to be 82 as registered on the 2 portable thermometers. The t-stat read 67. At first I thought the t-stat was bad so I shut it down and left it. I went back in the TT about an hour later and the thermometer on the t-stat registered 76.
I came to the conclusion it takes the digital t-stat a little longer to register the true ambient room temp when you are increasing the current temp by more than just a degree or two. So, I played a little and found the t-stat works flawlessly if you keep the room within a couple of degrees but if you want to increase it by as much as 5 degrees you need to get the room AND t-stat to the desired room temp first before it will control the temp accurately.

Easy to install, simple. Replaced a mechanical thermostat which was hard to get set because any adjustment would move about 5 degrees, The White-Rodgers adjusts at 1 degree intervals.

Works as advertised, nothing fancy about this thermostat but at that price I can't complain. I guess the only thing I might ask for is a more modern and sleek design, but then again, that would just make it cost more. Easy installation, display is easy to read, buttons work without effort. If you don't need a programmable thermostat this one will do the trick.
