Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell TH8320U1008 7day 3/h 2/c Vision PRO 8000 Touchscreen Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: Better manages airflow and frequency rate that your system cycles
Summary: 5 Stars
I had standard thermostats in my home installed by the builder when I moved in. Although they were Honeywell and were digital, they seemed to cycle too long or not long enough before shutting off. At times in the summer when I would set the temperature to hold at a specific degree, the air conditioning would not turn off until the temperature was much lower than what displayed on the thermostat. Could have been a faulty thermostat, but I had three in my home and they all seemed to share the same problem. This made the room very uncomfortable so I looked for a new solution.
I really like these thermostats and installed three to replace the old ones. They cycle at a much more efficient frequency and the rooms are much more comfortable than before. The temperature readings seem to be much more accurate as well.
I am very pleased with the touch screen feature, the daily/weekly programming capability, and the back lit display. At night when you want to make a change to the temperature in a dark room, you don't need to turn on a light to adjust the settings. Simply touch the screen and the back light comes on - very handy feature.
If you are considering an upgrade and want a more efficient unit with better capabilities I can definitely vouch that this thermostat is worth the price. It is easy to install but make sure you have a very small flat head screwdriver when doing so.
Customer Review: Easy to use, a little difficult to install, but very customizable
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this product because I got tired of setting my manual thermostat everyday. I've had it for a few days and so far it's been easy to use and program, the touchscreen is the icing on the cake.
Things you should know before installing:
1) Look up wiring diagrams for your current thermostat to figure out which wires do what. This will help you with wiring your honeywell..
2) Know if your heating system is multi-stage (with Emergency or Aux heat, etc). This will help you configure your Honeywell to the type of system you have.
Once you know this information, installation isn't all that difficult. Now, the interface for configuring advanced options on the honeywell takes a little deciphering but is easy to understand. It even comes with 4 testing modes to let you know if you've configured it right. The documentation is short, but has enough information to let you figure things out on your own.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with the customization abilities, touchscreen interface, and documentation that came with the product.

Summary: 5 Stars
Easy install, seriously! Quick read of the installation manual...10 minutes and it's up and running (took longer for the paint to dry around the mounting plate). What a differnece a new unit makes...I was replacing an older Honeywell programable unit, which must have really been on the 'fritz'. As soon as I got it connected and programed...this was also quite straight forward, within 45 minutes the whole house was much more balanced than before. Great product.Customer Review: As good as I hoped

This thermostat does everything you could want.
This particular model is able to work with my heat pump with emergency heat. (make sure that you get the right type for your unit.)
One of the best features to me is the ability to set the high and low temp. and it can auto. change from heat to cool or vice versa. So you can just leave it on auto. year round. So if gets hot in the day and cool at night it doesn't matter.

This is the best thermostat that I have ever used! Please be aware that it may be difficult for the typical home owner to install, and the unit has to be programmed after installation. I am not talking about typical temperature settings; you have to actually tell the unit what some of the wires do. I installed two thermostats from another company several years ago and still this one took me about 30 minutes.
