Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell YRTH8500D1008 7-Day Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: Easy to Install, Easy to Monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed this advanced Honeywell thermometer in my apartment about three weeks ago. The written instructions were clear and easy to follow. Honeywell also includes an instructional video on how to install this thermostat, but since my powerbook doesn't accept mini-CDs I couldn't watch it.
After removing my old thermometer, installation was a simple chore of attaching the new thermometer to the wall and attaching wires. This thermometer has two great features I'll mention:
(1) A seven day programmable week, with four different timezones for each day. Do you leave the house at a different time on Monday and Wednesday for that early morning yoga class? Well, you can drop the temperature down to 55 degrees a full hour early and feel good about saving energy.
(2) A large, easy to read backlit LCD display. Tapping the panel once activates a warm green glow when you just want to check on the settings without turning on the lights and waking the dog.
One feature that this thermostat lacks (and I'm not sure that I've seen any residential thermostat feature) is a way to lock the temperature settings, so that your pesky guests don't decide that 85 degrees is a much better temperature than 68.
Overall, a happy upgrade for your old, mercury based thermostat.

This product is great. I replaced my old thermostat with this new one in about 15-20 minutes with no difficulty. Programming is extremely easy. Highly recommended!Customer Review: nice thermostat

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: The best
Summary: 5 Stars
The top of the line for this type of thermosat. We have owned 5 and they have all worked perfectly. The numbers are easy to read (without reading glasses) and the programming is intuitive. Easy to install and well made.
