Review on Enhanced Accuracy Alarm-Enabled AcuRite 01080M Temperature and Humidity Gauge in Black by Jonathan Roloff

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great little display with a few minor glitches

The display is accurate and usable, but it has a few minor flaws: 1. First, unless you're using brand new alkaline batteries, the display is dim and doesn't match the pictures at all on the Revains website. If you use rechargeable batteries, the display will always be thin because NiMH batteries usually have a lower output voltage than new alkaline batteries. Eats batteries relatively quickly. From week 2, the display begins to dim. Otherwise I am completely satisfied with it. Simple controls, the ability to recalibrate it, the rest. I only give it three stars as the battery issue is pretty serious. A simple solution would be a larger battery capacity, like three or four AAAs instead of two.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Volume
