I wish I had gotten this sooner - great for home use

I used this tool to make sure I was actually benefiting from installing a very expensive Aprilaire 800 humidifier (which cost over $2,000 with installation has cost). An Extech hygrometer (a home model with a big screen) told me it wasn't that bad, but my cracked skin told me otherwise. This Protmex confirmed that my skin was telling me the truth and that the moisture was terrible - I moved on. installed with Aprilaire 800 and it was just a game changer - no more sore throats, dry eyes, cracked skin etc. One annoyance is that it always starts up in Celsius and you have to press a button to turn on F. I would like to have it to remind me of my preferences. but overall it's well made, 10x more accurate than Extech and 100x faster. The Extech (big screen home model) takes about half an hour to stabilize on (false) readings when moved out of the room. in the room. This device takes about 30 seconds to stabilize while reading. As you move from room to room, the readings literally start changing in a second or two after entering a different room! ! ! It's SO delicate! For example, if you enter the bathroom after someone has taken a shower there, the numbers go up the moment you enter that room! And after about 30 seconds they pretty much stabilize at the new value unless the temperature changes. It will take longer (about 5 minutes) if there is a difference in room temperature. Overall great for home use. I don't know if it's enough for professional use.
