Reviews of Black & Decker BDHF200 Heater Fan

Customer Ratings:

I really loved the heater, it was safe around the pets. I was sitting in the room and smelled something burning, picked up the unit and everything looked fine. 20 minutes later the unit shut off. When I unplugged the unit, the plug had melted. From the way that it had melted, it was clear that something was wrong with the plug. I liked the product, but this made me worry. I don't know if I will replace it with the same thing.

So I used to love this heater. It served me well for a little under a year. But just tonight as I was trying to turn it on the plug had a tiny explosion and the reset button melted. I have no idea what caused it but I found it very unnerving. Now looking for a replacement. Not sure if I will replace it with the same model.

I bought this for our RV refrigerator. We have a wired thermometer but I wanted a wireless type to get rid of the wire from the sensor to the display that runs under the door gasket. I was a little skeptical that a wireless thermometer would work but it worked so well I could bring the receiver in the house and watch the refrigerator cool down the night before we left for a trip. The display has magnets for mounting that don't stick to a our fridge (all plastic door), we just stick the display to our stove cover as its metal and right over the fridge. The remotes have two mounts; a suction cup and a spring clamp. The display has a min/max function, alarms and it's large enough to be seen easily. All-in-all its perfect for our needs.

I'll preface this by saying I bought this b/c my relatively new fridge seems to hold temperature poorly, so I've had a small mercury type fridge/freezer thermometer (hereafter referred to as "Mercury") since shortly after I bought it. The problem with these is that you have to open the door to read it, and I wanted something that I could have a Min/Max reading throughout the day to note down in case I need ammunition to use against the warranty company. Being able to monitor both fridge and freezer temps is a big plus!

BOTTOM LINE: for those not wanting to read my drivel below -The AcuRite 00986, after a week of use, works great for me... note that I had no battery issues like some have had. See next part...

BATTERY TIPS: doing a Google search on battery characteristics, I found information [link removed by Amazon...] on Alkaline versus NiMH versus NiCd versus other battery chemistries. One of the very useful pieces of info was operating temperature range. Of note: Lithium operates down to -40C (-40F). Alkaline: 0C (32F). NiCd: -40C. NiMH: -20C (-4F). Well, I have a zillion NiMH rechargeable batteries for kids toys and since I really only care if the freezer goes above a few degrees F, then I figured I'd try NiMH for my sensors, before shelling out $$ on the Lithium AAs. Results: my freezer sensor has captured a temp as low as -13F, so I'd say the NiMH option was a smart move. Even if I have to change the batteries weekly, I swap them out with another set of NiMH and put them on the charger for a few hours. So, my advice to you is to get an inexpensive NiMH charger from somewhere ($10 maybe) and a package of at least 4 (~$7-10), but 8 would be nice, NiMH batteries. I'd recommend any low-discharge NiMH, such as Sanyo Enloops. If you really want to cheap out, get NiCd, but they don't have the capacity that the NiMH batteries do. I know the investment is a tad high upfront, but one set of Lithium AAs is $6, and it's single use. With the NiMH, you can use them hundreds of times, and with 2 each in your fridge/freezer sensors, the back-up ones could be in your kids RC car, flashlight, etc. You'll save $$$$$$ in the long run, if you switch your household to rechargeable in general for AAA/AA type applications.

Ok, all the important stuff over, here is the boring, wordy review/information:

I received the AcuRite version (I'm guessing the Chaney branding has gone extinct) of this product, opened it, installed batteries (more about the batteries later), and within seconds, the transmitters were sending temperature information. I let it sit on my desk for a while, and after the sensors stabilized, they were within 1 degree Fahrenheit of each other, and right at what my home thermostat was set to. Good so far!

I then moved to the kitchen and put the sensors in the fridge/freezer, and mounted the display on the side of the fridge next to the freezer. It probably took between 10 and 15 minutes for the sensors to stabilize at the fridge/freezer temps. I bought another mechanical dial type thermometer (Taylor Classic #5924) from Amazon so I could compare the results with the AcuRite and Mercury. I started my "analysis of performance" by placing AcuRite #2 and Taylor in the freezer, and AcuRite #1 and the Mercury in the fridge. They all seemed to line up well, and I monitored things this way periodically over the course of the next few hours. Because my fridge is my biggest worry, I then moved Taylor to the fridge as well, and placed it somewhere else in the fridge away from AcuRite #1 on a different shelf. This way I could tell if temps across fridge were consistent. Again, everything seemed to read similar temperatures, so I'm confident the AcuRite system is A-OK for me.

I've had this installed for about 1 month. Both transmitters and receiver are working well. The freezer chest transmitter is located on the basememt floor about 10' (below)from the receiver on the main floor and the 2nd transmitter is in my frige on the same floor (2nd) within 15'. All working OK. So far, I can recomend this product.

Honest reviews on ACU_RITE Refrigerator/Freezer Wireless Digital Thermometer 00986

I'll keep it short and to the point. It works perfect. It is great to be able to adjust your temps to where you actually want them. The suction cups do not work that very good in my refrigerator but the clips hold onto the shelves just fine. It recommends a lithium battery in the freezer side but so far a standard battery is working fine for me. If you want a wireless unit this is the way to go.

We bought $1200 worth of grass fed beef and a brand new deep freeze so we thought we better get a alarm since we keep the freezer in our basement. One alarm is for the freezer and the other is only for the fridge since you can't set the alarming beeper for low enough for another freezer. We bought the special lithium expensive batteries figuring we want to do everything possible to protect the meat. It was a little hard to find a place in the house it would read the sensors and we would hear the alarm beep. But we finally ended up having to put the alarm unit in our bedroom since that is basically on top of the freezer. It worked erratically for 2 months, would alarm about once every 10 days and say the temp went up 20 degrees when nobody opening the door or anything, never figured that out but then about a week ago it just stopped working. We reset it, changed the $10 batteries, stood right next to the freezer and no matter what we do it won't work. So this product ended up being a big waste of time and money. Not sure if it can be returned after 2 1/2 months or not.

I have ten of these in my house, and I have had to replace three of them because sections of the display stopped working. Another drawback is the loud click when the thermostat turns on or off but the sound is easy to get used to (so long as it is set to 20 minute intervals instead of 15).

Lasko 5812 Automatic Air-Flow Heater with Temperature-Regulation Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The Lasco 5812 is a very good heater especially since it has stronger fan forced air than any other I have tried & still not loud, even stronger air flow than one costing over $90. It sends the air along the floor rather than out of the top. Moving warm air can be felt for at least 5 feet from the heater. I measured it. One serious drawback is that the thermostat even though it controls the heating of the air from a lower level of 750 watts to a high of 1500 watts, it will not cut the heater off when the thermostat setting is reached. It will only lower it to the 750 watt maintenance level. This is not a problem if the heater is located where you can turn it off yourself when the room is warm enough or the temp is too cold for it to need to shut off. Where I find a problem is in my office which is unattended for hours at a time and over night or I am away on a trip. I like to keep my computer, etc. at least 60 degrees when I am not around. Since the outside temp varies from night to day which affects the inside temp, this heater will stay on even when warm enough although it will lower to the low wattage. This means that my office could get a lot hotter than desired during the day when unattended. Because of this, I use the more expensive $90+ heater in my office even though it seems not to put out as much warm air and certainly not as strong an air flow as the Lasco 5812. The Lasco works as designed very nicely, but uses electricity even when not necessary. To be just about perfect, all it needs is a thermostat that will turn it off rather than just provide controlled high and low heat. It is great when you will be around to shut it off yourself if the temp over reaches your desired amount like in your den while watching TV. I like mine regardless. Besides, the company does not want you to leave the heater unattended for safety sake anyway...Dan

The build quality is great, but it is louder than most heaters and the thermostat will never shut off the heating element even at the lowest setting. The noise isn't outrageous, but it's definitely on the loud side compared to other forced-air heaters I've used. As for the thermostat, this probably wouldn't be a problem on a very cold night or in a large room. In my small room on a mildly chilly night, however, the heater remains on even when the dial is on the lowest setting. I was roasting. Too bad. The build quality seems really solid, and it comes with a three-year warrantee.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5812 Automatic Air-Flow Heater with Temperature-Regulation

I bought this space heater in October of 2008 from a vendor on Amazon.com. I'd gone back to school and was renting a basement apartment with little heat. This heater made the late autumn/early winter of Michigan's Upper Peninsula bearable, and my small room livable.

It's been going strong in Mid-Michigan, all through the night, in front of the front the door, for over two years. I place it there at night and it really mitigates the chilly air that comes off the steel door. The fact that the hot air comes out the bottom makes my cats happy and my feet, too. Now, winters here can get down to -30 deg F, and if the wind's blowing over 10-15 MPH, even colder. Late 1970's trailer homes aren't known for being well-insulated and this really helps keep the propane bill down by making the room I'm in warm and comfortable.

If I turn it past midway, the poor heater turns itself off and has to sit for about 45 minutes until I can turn it back on, but it can run through the night, 8 to 9 hours, on the lowest (750 W) setting or just slightly higher. It's blowing warm/hot air, so it's not silent, but it's a white noise so it's very easy to ignore. If you want to use the highest setting, use if for only 40-45 minutes or it will turn itself automatically. I think there's a fuse that overheats at that setting.

It has a very heavy cord, which makes it ideal if you need to step over it or tug on it inadvertently. It's not fancy, but it got me through three days of no propane during a cold spell of 10 deg F during the day and -20 deg F at night. It's been kicked, pushed over, had cats run into it, had groceries dropped on it, and it still does what I purchased it for: it keeps me warm, supplements my furnace so I'm only heating the room I'm in and not the whole trailer, and it keeps the cold drafts from my feet.

I was actually thinking of buying another one because of both its toughness and its decent cost. Well, if this one does quit working, I will most definitely replace it. It's not perfect, it's not pretty, but it does the job it's built for, and if I could, I'd give it four-and-a-half stars.

UPDATE:

This heater lasted three and a half years, giving up the ghost in January of 2013 after three power outages and two subsequent surges. I will definitely be purchasing another one. This heater was both durable and effective.

I just received this heater today. The problem is that the heat never shuts off, becuse the thermostat controls only the variation between 1500 watts and 750 watts. Even at the lowest possible thermostat setting the heat elements will never shut off. If you have a large, cold room it's fine, but if you're trying to heat a small room, such as a bathroom, or using it to supplement a heater in a larger room, the heat will keep on building and building up without control. Obviously, in a bedroom situation you would have to get up at night to manually adjust the heater--turn it off--then get up later to turn it back on. This is not a heater that can be used without constnt supervision and manual adjustment.

I called customer service to find out if this is a design flaw, or am I missing something, but have not received a call back. Rereading some of the reviews of this heater, I notice that some people mentioned this design flaw, but it was not stated vehemently enough to disuade me from buying the heater. I am bluntly stating it now; this is an enormous problem.

Buy Taylor TruTemp Digital Cooking Thermometer with Alarm

Customer Ratings:

Good product. Accurate, easy to use, inexpensive and wide temperature range. Many digital thermometer have a minimum temperature of 32F, so you cannot use them to check your freezer. This product has a range of -40F to 450F so it will do both oven and freezer. Tested in an ice water bath, it was only off about 1F, better then others I have measured. Comes with a neat magnetized plastic stand that holds it up at readable angle. Has a C/F switch on back.

Only minor negative is that while the upper range is advertized to be 450F, the documentation gives a slightly lower maximum temperature for the silicone cord. I'm writing this after using the product for a couple of months and I've lost the documentation, but my memory says the max cord temperature was listed as 425F.

(update 12/28/09)

Caution --Amazon has pulled a fast one. This TruTemp model may be fine, but I don't really know, because it's not the TruTemp model I wrote about in 2008. Amazon (without asking or informing me) has shifted my 2008 TruTemp review to this new model. This model has four front buttons like the old model, but the display, probe shape, and mount look different. The biggest change I see is that a feature I really liked is now gone: ability to measure freezer temperature. Bad, bad Amazon....

I love this thermometer. I purchased it directly at the store after reading some reviews of others at high end retailer web sties. Those may have more features, but really, how many things are you going to cook at once. For the rest of us, there's this one for a great price. Since I've purchased it, I haven't overcooked a pork roast or turkey. You insert the probe into the meat and put the digital readout on the front of your oven. Set the temp you want, turn on the alarm and walk away. When the internal temp of the meat reaches your set point, an alarm sounds and your set. No more opening the oven, letting out all the heat and checking the temp, only to find you missed it and now your meat is overcooked.

Best Deals on Taylor TruTemp Digital Cooking Thermometer with Alarm

It seems that most people recommend Taylor digital probe thermometers for oven or smokers. I've used several of them and I'm not happy, primarily because the high end limit is 350 degrees.

This Tru Temp thermometer goes up to 450 degrees and works as well or better then the the Taylors in all other respects. It suffers from the same general problems as others in that the probes are fairly easily damaged. But for the money you simply can't beat it.

I use this thermometer for smoking meat. I like to put one probe in the open in the smoker to monitor smoker tempterature. The rest go into the meat. I've generally gotten about a year and a half out of the probes.

Another thing I like about the probes is they are straight. Most of the others, like Taylor, have a large curve in them and that curve gets in the way. The straight probe is preferable to me.

The read out is large and easy to read and the set points are easy to use. The alarm can be heard inside, which is perfect. The base has magnets built in so you can attach it to anything made or ferrous metal.

Be sure to store these indoors if you use them with you smoker or grill. Left outdoors the digits will begin to fail on the display. I learned this the hard way.

Honest reviews on Taylor TruTemp Digital Cooking Thermometer with Alarm

I have 5 of these units, and have given two away as gifts. The price is great, and it has a 1 second refresh rate for quick measurements, and I couldn't be happier with the product or vendor. I use them for other things, such as radiator temp, and my favorite is attaching a long stick to the probe to check how the compost pile is cooking. It only uses one battery that lasts many months, even though it's on all the time. One thing I did is seal the interface between the probe and silicone sheath with Silicone RTV caulk, normally used for caulking bathrooms, etc. That caulk has a working temperature of 450 F, so should hold up. I didn't want it to possibly get inside the probe and damage the sensor, so that's why the seal. It also measures in either F, or C, which is a nice feature. The high/low alarm is handy, and cooking caramel, or other candy is just more fun when you can easily see the temperature, rather than squinting at the numbers on a typical glass candy thermometer...that is usually coated with what you're cooking. Get one of these, and it'll be hard to go back to the other thermometers!

This thing worked fine for about 6 months, I used it mainly for grilling steaks, pork and chicken. But once the cord starts to come loose from the probe it's time to chuck this piece of junk in the trash. I'm shopping for a wireless thermo now.

This heater is very nice for the "draftier," colder room(s) that your central heating system can't reach. It also assures that heat, at the right temperature, is in the room when your central heater system's thermostat is in the hallway!

Consumer reports gives it high ratings and rightfully so; it is a simple, easy to use heater that is very quiet when it is on NON-FAN mode. Other space heaters with temperature settings only have a fan or electrical noise when they start up and stay on; this can wake you (or the baby/kids) up at night. This heater doesn't have that rude awakening "turn-on-and-start-the-heat-up" noise when your temperature drops below a certain point; it just releases the heat slowly. If you're a light sleeper, this heater is kind to your ears.

Like other space heaters, it has a quick heat FAN mode that can rapidly expel heat. Some owners may say that the fan is noisy, but it's relatively more quiet than the previous space heaters with fans that I've used in the past. Unlike those other heaters, the HZ-817's FANLESS mode starts heat slowly and keeps a nice warmth around itself and the room. When your desired temperature preset is reached, it then provides a "trickle" of heat to hold that temperature.

It is an intelligently designed product, and I also like the automatic shut off if the unit is accidentally tipped over.

A suggestion for improvement: more range in the knob's temperature settings. For example, instead of going from 65F to 70F to 75F, it would be nice to have in between settings such as 67.5F and 72.5F options as well.

On December 12th 2010 I ordered a Honeywell HZ-817 Baseboard heater. I'd read the reviews posted on Amazon and also checked with Consumer Reports who gave it a high rating. It arrived about 10 days later. We set it up in our 11' x 11' bedroom and it worked great. It provided a constant heat (we like it about 62 to 64 degrees) and without the fan it was completely silent. That lasted about a month. Then it stopped working. I tried calling customer service but the wait was too long so I sent an email instead. I received a reply a couple of days later at first offering to have me ship it to Massachusetts (I live in Maine)for an exchange. A subsequent email alerted me to the fact that they didn't have any more of those models in stock and didn't know when they would. Because of the time of year she offered to ship me a lesser model, the HZ-617 without the Energy Saver mode, and waive the shipping fees. I declined the offer and will ship it to the Memphis warehouse with a 4 to 6 week process time.

When it worked, it worked well. But if it breaks you'll pay shipping costs both ways. I don't know at this point if they have parts available to make the repairs.

Honest reviews on Honeywell EnergySmart Baseboard Heater, HZ-817

This works great. I live in California where the temperature's great most of the time, but in the winter gets down into the 40s at night and my place doesn't have heat, so I picked up this heater. It heats up my bedroom to a comfortable temperature within 15-30 minutes if I keep the door closed. It's silent when the fan's not on, and creates only a very faint whir when it is on (Quick Heat Mode.) Quick Heat Mode is nice to have but I rarely use it since my small room (about 10 x 12) doesn't take long to heat up.

My only complaint with this heater is a minor one and is possibly due to my obsessive compulsiveness. Honeywell calls it a baseboard heater, which implies that it should be placed near the wall at the baseboard. The instructions, however, say that it should be placed 3 feet away from anything for safety. I realize this may just be the company being overly cautious and covering themselves in case of lawsuits, but I'm now hesitant to place it too close to furniture or the walls, which in a small room is a hassle. May not be necessary though.

Overall, I'm very happy with this heater and would recommend it to others.

I was not overly happy when I first received our Ecobee Thermostat, and I learned that I was going to need this remote temperature sensor module. Once we received it, the company that handles our commercial air conditioning system came to install it, because I was not comfortable with installing it. He said that installing the module in the thermostat casing was easy, but the instructions to integrate the module in the actual thermostat system were vague. It took a lot of trial and error with both of us going through each menu trying different combinations until something worked.

But now that it is installed and working, it is great.

I guess you get what you pay for...but I just wanted the ambience of a "flame" in my living room. The heat is a bonus. I was replacing a previous electric fireplace. The flame "effect" has already stopped working, and I've only had it for about a month or so. If I "bang" on the back of it, the flame tries to work, but makes a grinding noise and quits again. My advice is to spend more money and get something a bit better than this.

I purchased this item on Sunday afternoon and it arrived via UPS ground this morning (Wed). I noticed instantly that the unit does not resemble the online or box photo. The handle is very shiny brass and the front door is shiny plastic (like a child's cheap toy#. The rest of the unit is made of thin, shiny metal #again, like a child's toy#. The legs are platic. It took about ten minutes to remove from the box and screw in the legs. It turned on instantly and has been running since #for about two hours). It makes more noise than I had anticipated but it's not overpowering. I am rating this four stars because I have no previous experience with electric fireplaces and I am not sure how what I have described compares with other units. If you are looking for an affordable, small, ambient, supplemental heat source that looks nice from across the room then buy this unit. If you are looking for something substantial or authentic, you will be disappointed.

This small stove looks nice, but is very cheaply built. When you open the front door, the plastic bends almost to the point of breaking just to overcome the magnet that holds it shut. The fan is very noisy sometimes, other times it's quiet. The bearings act like they were going out from day one. The flames work.....sometimes. If they don't move, bang the sides and they usually take off. I should have sent this back, but it really wasn't worth the effort after assembling it.

I just received my new stove today. I love this thing! It is a great size and the "flames" are more realistic than I thought they'd be. The glowing embers/logs also look very good. You could never mistake the burning effect for a real fire, but it looks much nicer than I ever thought it would and it provides great ambiance.

The heater also works very well. The best surprise of all is how quiet it is. You can hear the heater when it is on, but it is far from intrusive. It is completely quiet when the heater is not turned on.

When I first turned the unit on the flame effect was quite noisy. I tightened some screws that obviously loosened during shipping. Now it is as quiet as a church mouse.

You should be aware, however, that the stove doesn't look matte black like in the pictures. It is a gloss black, and the the handle is shiny brass. I like it better this way, though. It resembles one of those beautiful enamel wood stoves.

All in all, this was a great purchase. If you are on the fence I wouldn't hesitate, Amazon has a great return policy if you don't like it.

This is a very high quality product that incorporates both function and aesthetics. The installation was completed by a plumbing professional, so I cannot comment of ease of installation.

One thing to note ... In the images posted online the two knobs look as if they are nearly flush with the coverplate. This is somewhat deceptive as this will depend on the depth of your walls. We live in a 16 story high rise with shallow spaces between the walls and this resulted in a knob that sticks out further than anticipated. The sleve that is seen between the knob and the cover plate is a beautifully polished chrome, so it still looks finished, but it is not what we were expecting.

The thermostatic control works beautifully and we like having the on/off knob seperate.

This does not have capability to switch between shower and hand held piece. This has temperature control with amount of flow control only. It is beautiful and very modern looking finish.

After seeing how well one of these worked for my parents (for the past 3 years), I decided to get one for myself. I ordered it on a Monday and received it by Thursday. (A week ahead of expectation.) I've seen other reviews of this product and can tell you that its fan is NOT loud and it doesn't stink like burnt plastic when used. The remote control is a great feature and a plus. It's exactly what I expected. I saw it cheaper at Target ($34.98) but they were in season clearance sale and out of stock until next winter in the city where I live. With list price at around $132, this price is still a bargain.

I bought this heater last winter and had no problems with it. However, this fall the heater stopped heating on a regular basis. I began shopping for another brand of heater when I decided to call Holmes to see if there was anything they would do for me, despite not having my receipt.

They very helpfully found me a similar, but newer model heater and shipped it out to me free of charge. They said I could dispose of the one that wasn't working. I'm incredibly impressed by how helpful Holmes was. I will definitely look for more Holmes products as a result of their great customer service and warranty.

I got this only a few days ago, but so far it's working awesome. The oscillation helps spread the heat, the heater sits up off the ground a little so you don't have to worry about spilled liquids or overheating carpet, and the digital thermometer is nice for automatic heat regulation.

The only complaint I have is this... there is no audio feedback when changing the temperature with the remote, and since IR is unreliable you don't know for sure that you actually did change the temperature or if the signal was lost and the temp did not change. Strange oversight by engineering since the reliability of IR really is poor.

Anyhow, I highly recommend this over the more dumb heaters where you just turn it to a preset 1/2/3 and let it continue forever. Temp regulated space heating is the best :D

Bought this for my cabin which is a 20' X 20' room. It does a decent job and is not loud. Great auxilliary heat and the safety features are nice. It does not get hot to the touch. Has a remote control which does not matter much to me. I wanted a reliable, safe product which it seems to be. It it lasts a few years then it will be a great purchase.

We have a small office and wanted the heater to come on at 7am, one hour before arrival and go off at 4pm. We originally bought the Holmes HQH319, it was quiet and output was great however a wall timer will not work with the unit. I called Holmes and they said, "you need the Holmes HCH6150 it has a built in timer." Returned the first unit bought the second. The timer is a crude count down until it turns off and on. That means while it's on you have to press the button 8 times to get it to go off in 8 hours. If you want it on the next morning you have to press the button 15 times to get it to come on. This is a huge hassle to manage twice a day. Also, it makes too much noise for a quiet office.

We have a vacation home where we have to turn the Heat on and back off each time we come and go, and my elderly Dad needed something easy to read and easy to use. This one fits the bill perfectly. We set ours up for "HEAT ONLY" since we don't have A/C out there and now under the "System" heading it has: "Heat and Off ". That's it. Just like it should. No extra "Cool" setting that we don't need which only confuses the issue! When it's "Off" the display for the temperature setting disappears. When you turn it to "Heat" the display pops up on the screen again. It's very obvious when it's off and when it's on. There are 4 simple hard buttons on the front, Temp: UP/DN System: HEAT/OFF (in our scenario) and you will never need a manual once you get it installed. It couldn't be more intuitive.

The display is very clear and easy to read even from a distance and the Amber Back Lighting is really nice looking and makes it easy to read in the dark. The Font size for the lower display on this one is 13 point versus 11 point on the models with the smaller screen. In other words, considerably larger and easier to read. The "Inside" and "Temperature" settings are huge and very easy to see even for me without my reading glasses...

It's really easy to install and I was able to use this same model for both our 80% Furnace downstairs and the 90%+, 2-Stage Furnace upstairs. That way we can have the same one up and down. Very convenient and very versatile. It fits most other types of Furnaces too. Including ones with A/C and Heat Pumps. Auto Changeover is a nice feature that I use here at home (also a Honeywell) and love. About the only thing that makes it not perfect is that there is no way to keep the backlight on all the time like you can on the top of the line models. I have to say though, once I got used to not having it, it wasn't an issue. I'd recommend this Thermostat to anyone looking for something simple to operate with an easy to read, large display.

Thanks to 2 reviews of this product on Amazon, I purchased this Thermostat through Amazon. It arrived from UBHAPPY in FL to CA in 3 days!

I wanted a simple thermostat, easily readable, like the one I had which died recently.

This one, TH5220D1029 Honeywell FocusPRO 5000 Non-Programmable 2 Heat & 2 Cooling Thermostat, Large Screen is exactly what I need.

The large, clear display of both actual temperature and thermostat setting is great for my 87-year-old eyes. Before I go to bed, I touch the thermostat to set the temperature to 70.

I prefer to control the thermostat manually, as I did the old one. I live in Southern CA where even in summer it often cools at night, so air conditioning is not needed. I can easily set the fan to pull in the cool outside air. Then when I rise in the morning, if it feels too cool it's very simple to touch it again to set the temp to 71 or 72. A great product!

This was purchased after a lot of research & finding best price & return agreements on Amazon. I have a 2 stage heat 1 stage cool system for which is hard to locate a non programmable thermostat that actually utilizes the 2 stage heat. I had a professional put it in who was also performing my yearly maintenance check. I had twice found my 7 year old programmable thermostat continuing to run way above the highest set numbers. Did not want another programmable one. My local gas company does not recommend them either. I just lower the heat now if I'm leaving for several hours. I can just set the air at 80 & leave it for the summer. The back light does not come on unless you push the temp buttons & stays at the same number until the second push. However, the system button doesn't cause the light to come one it just immediately changes which system is displayed so be careful to leave it alone. Very simple & easy to use. My winter gas bill says I saved over last year & my bill came with a reward bonus for this.

I'm adding this after having the thermostat for a few months: First of all I still love this thermostat, but noticed another reviewer mentions the thermostat registers up to 3 degrees off. This appears to me to be true of mine also. However, since my other thermostats were installed by people who asked if I wanted it adjusted to exact temperature, I believe it is up to the installer (see pages 6-8 of installation manual, & page 3 of the operating manual) to mention the adjustable temperature most come with. They are set by the factory & like ovens etc. can be adjusted (usually up to + or 3 degrees) at installation. It took a few days for me to recognize mine was registering heat lower than set & then since the AC has been on it is also registering lower than the actual temperature. I just set mine accordingly (for me that means up 2 degrees from 66 to 68 for winter & up from 80 to 81 for summer). I'm still very happy with this thermostat & coming out way ahead on my bills over the programmable thermostat.
