A must have for acoustic system owners

This is a must have for anyone who owns an acoustic guitar that you don't want to ruin with moisture or lack of moisture. I live in super dry Arizona and Restore bags keep my Martin between 45% and 50% wet every day. I sleep peacefully knowing that he is doing his job and preventing my attachments from collapsing.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Volume

App privacy issues

Without the app you cannot get the humidity or temperature on this device and the app needs permission to access ALL storage/files on your phone, full camera control, precise location, etc. My Phone has flagged this as a security risk. The device is returned unopened, so cannot speak of accuracy or functionality.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Weight

Does not keep humidity at desired level.

I followed the instructions exactly and the humidity in the guitar case is not much different than the humidity in the room. For example, the humidity in the room is 65% and the humidity in the closet is 60%. I even bought new packs and replaced them in the case with the same result. Specifications state that this product will maintain humidity levels between 45% and 50%. I have sent several emails to the company with no response.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not sure

Do not buy a humidity sensor

An asterisk refers to the sensor portion of the kit. This sensor is extremely inaccurate. It consistently measures 6% to 8% above actual relative humidity. I have four other hygrometers that all read the same relative humidity and a dehumidifier that also reads the same relative humidity as my other four hygrometers. Good quality humidifier. You get five stars. Just don't make the mistake of buying a sensor. Instead, buy an Oasis or MusicNomad hygrometer and order a D'addario humidificationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

I'm not leaving without her.

I currently have 4 HumidiTraks installed, a 5th and possibly a 6th are coming soon. I use humidipaks in all of my high end guitars and mandolins. HumdiTrak makes it easy for me to track the humidity in each drawer. Now, D'Addario does not make any of these products. Each of them is outsourced to other manufacturers. But it's a good basic package and costs about the same as if I bought them from other manufacturers. The HumdiTrak app leaves a lot to be desired. The HumdiTrak notification dot isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Hard to say

I would come back if I wasn't so lazy.

This product is a great concept, but the end product has its drawbacks. Temperature and humidity aren't always the exact readings that really matter, and you'll have to refresh or "flash" the device every time you want to update the information. I put the recommended two packs in the soundhole on top of the strings and one pack in the headstock and was really unimpressed with the two-way humidity control I boasted about. It seems to either overwet or dry out the instrument, but very rarely does

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
