Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell YRTH8500D1008 7-Day Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: nice thermostat
Summary: 4 Stars
We installed this about a month ago. It was very easy to install and set up. The touch controls are intuitive, so you don't have to drag out the book every time you want to reset it. It holds the heat at a very constant temperature, so the room temp doesn't go hot and cold like our old thermostat. I like that, if you overide the current setting which is very easy to do, it automatically goes back at the next schedule change. You don't have to remember to put it back on its schedule. I'd recommend it to someone else now while ours is new.Customer Review: Best programmable thermostat
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed it today for a heatpump unit, replacing a Hunter programmable that would turn on the aux. strips for no reason almost every time. The install and programming was very easy, took me a little less than one hour and that was being overly cautious. Now the heat pump runs without pulling in the strips and it is 25'F outside. It is keeping the temp within 1'F. I am one of those people who like the best - latest and greatest of everything, and I like this thermostat.Customer Review: Very easy to install - very easy to program
Summary: 5 Stars
The thermostat installed in less than five minutes. Just remember to use the little color code stickers (my yellow wire was actually blue). I had already programmed the thermostat while sitting down - it does not need to be on the wall to program, and the actual deed took about 1 minute. Snapped in place, turned the power back on, waited for the low voltage timer on my air unit to kick in and all done. Cool air flowing in less than 10 minutes.Customer Review: Very capable thermostat
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't completely gone through the manual yet, but the item installed the first try quite easily, despite my setup being one of the more unusual ones, with both the heating and cooling being listed in the exceptions part of the wiring diagrams. It works well and has an intuitive enough interface that I have just set it up and left it going. Already saving me time and money over my old thermostat. Nice unit.Customer Review: Difficult installation and no useage statistics
Summary: 4 Stars
Installation was difficult because the holes that you are supposed to put wires into are small and do not face out toward you (their axes are parallel to the wall). Also, it does not track useage which my old thermostat did.
Positives: 1) Controls to a small temperature range which is much better than my previous (I was always cold or hot); 2) Intuitive interface.
