AcuRite 01226M Indoor Humidity Monitor Review

Always happy with AcuRite products. I have a pellet stove and I need a better way to measure the humidity in my house and the temperature in different parts of the house. Two packs for the price is a no-brainer, especially if you're putting your stove up, and can save $$$$ on heating bills in the winter. Straight out of the box to read closely. Also the humidity, since I borrowed my father-in-law's more expensive humidity meter for comparison. Like I said, I've never had a problem with AcuRite…

I find that both humidity monitors I have received are fairly accurate. They are always within 1-2% of the calibrated reading built into my dehumidifier. Two stars deducted for reliability. In the middle of the night the magnet on one of the humidity sensors broke. The monitor fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The floor in the room it was used in is carpeted, and the carpet underlay used underneath is thicker (softer) than traditional carpet underlay. I was able to fix this…

I ordered a pair of these about 3 weeks ago. Summary - They show 4 degrees less (Fahrenheit) compared to my home thermostat and my local clock/thermometer. They arrived on time and were well packaged. I like the display, easy to read. The high and low of the day seems to be right. Our temperature is lower at night, and "low" was correct (but 4 degrees lower). After they acclimated to room temperature, I balanced them on my home thermostat. Both showed 4 degrees below zero. I then put them next…

Included These were purchased to test the humidity in several locations where we have a lot of books. I have a large wall mounted unit with temperature, pressure and humidity sensors and an indoor/outdoor digital unit. from lacrosse. These devices are accurate and match my office equipment exactly when they are in the same room. So I know I'm getting accurate readings of humidity and temperature wherever I place them. And unlike most temperature/humidity units, humidity is a large number at the

At first I was a little disappointed to find that the temperature gauge was 2 degrees higher. I expected better. I went to the Acurite website and found that the device was accurate to +/- 2 degrees over a temperature range of 32 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The device thus corresponds to its accuracy. For this price I expected too much. As an electrical engineer who has dedicated his life to developing measuring devices, I had to consider that just a temperature sensor with an accuracy of better…

First, the quality is disappointing. I ordered two of these and can put them side by side and they never show the same settings. Aggravating. I could tell a few percent difference in humidity and a difference of a degree or two, but usually they differed by 4 or 5 degrees and sometimes even 6 degrees in temperature! The second already has a broken display and there are multiple segments in the low temp gauge so you can't read it properly (see image, bottom left should say 70F but some parts of…
