Did lots of research before buying 2 of these. Was about to buy the near equivalent from my local hardware store, but it was about $35 more expensive and didn't have Auto Changeover (ability to change from heating to cooling automatically). The big local stores don't sell Honeywell's 'Pro' line only the DIY variety.
I have disabled the AIR (Adaptive Intelligent Recovery) feature that brings the HVAC on early to achieve the set temperature when I set the timer to come on at 06:30, I don't want to be woken up at 05:45 by the sound of my heating system burning money.
Very simple to wire up. Did the two thermostats within 1 hour. This was made easy mainly because my house is relatively new, and the builders used the right color codes on the wiring. Also, I only have a single-stage, 'standard' HVAC system no heat pump.
The green LED backlighting is really nice I hated having to grub about in the dark, trying to read the controls on the old mechanical thermostats. Display is crystal clear and the user interface is very intuitive.
The only things missing (IMHO) are:
* Ability to automatically run the fan for ventilation. You have to set this ON/OFF manually. There is one manufacturer that makes home thermostats that do this, but they're square and ugly, and have clunky slide switches to control the fan and heat/cool settings, rather than the groovy electronic interface.
* Filter change reminder I can set a ToDo in my Palm Pilot to remind me of this, so it's no big deal.

My teenage son can't believe I installed this and programmed it myself. It was very easy. Just write down on a piece of paper the letters for where the wires go in your old thermostat and put them in the corresponding places in this one. As soon as I powered up this unit it worked, and I had all the wires in place. Directions are in plain English (and Spanish) and easy to understand.

Installation was very straightforward and easy. Programming was a snap. The large display is easy to read and simple to understand. My last programmable thermostat had extra buttons under a swinging panel and the whole unit swung out to replace the batteries. The latch broke and both pieces swung freely. Not a problem with this unit no extra moving "doors" or latches to break all functions are accessible from the large buttons on the front of the unit. And the batteries can be changed without losing your program! This is a nice unit and I'd definitely recommend it.
Honest reviews on Honeywell FocusPRO 6000 Programmable Thermostat
I am satisfied with the TH6110 thermostat. I chose 4 star because this leaves room for possible future problems. It installed well and the features are ideal for me. It operates on current from the furnace so I don't need to change batteries often. I've read that it clicks when controlling. It does, but it is inaudible a few feet distant. I had an older HW programmable. This one seems to have smoother regulation. I had a question that was quickly answered by Plumbing Planet. One side comment, if you need a cover plate to to conceal old mounting holes, you will find that the HW piece for this is very pricey. I made one myself. Overall rating is: Very Good Value.

If you are replacing another system thromostat, this is an excellent choice. Installation is a snap (simply attach the base to the wall in the appropriate place and connect existing color-coded wires to the poles designated in the instructions); programming in intuitive once you're familiar with the display indications; and manual control is simple and clear. If you are replacing an older Honeywell programmable, the old base plate might even fit this new thermostat, saving additional drilling and mounting chores. Lots of good features, too (see product discription): smart recovery, smart learning, 5+1+1 programming, etc. And a great price: all the features needed for controlling one of our two heating zones at much lower cost than other models.
