Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 44360 Set and Save 7-Day Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: Therostat Makes an Annoying Noise
Summary: 1 Stars
This thermostat installs easily and functions as advertised.It does make a noise each time it turns the furnace on AND off. It is a clicking sound with a twang sound at the end. It is attention getting in a room with people in it. I talked to customer support and a technician at Hunter and they admit that this is a relay noise in this model thermostat. The thermostat that I was replacing was a 10+ year old Hunter digital unit that operated silently! The reason that I was replacing it was that it had a temperature span of 4 degrees and the new one has a span of 2 degrees and would make the house more comfortable. Hunter knows all of this. I don't know why they went backwords from solid state electronics to a mechanical relay (a poor one at that)! Also be wary of their ceiling fans! I have a 5 year old fan that runs quietly and two new ones that have a bothersome humming noise. Hunter sent me new fans and they do the same thing. This issue is currently pending with me and Hunter Tech support.Customer Review: Good product good value
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my order and hooked it up last night in less than an hour (mostly because I had a buzz and hooked all the wires up the first time backwards, my fault completely) and I can say without a doubt anyone should be able to hook this thing up. The only way I could see it being difficult is if you unhook the old thermostat without looking at the hookups first and even then my wires were the same color as the posts they matched so that should not create problems. I am pleased with both the thermostat and the fact I paid $50 less than I was going to for another brand. As for the clicking noise another review mentioned, I don't recall ever haveing a thermostat that didn't make some sort of noise when it switches on and I guess if you were standing next to it and no one was talking or making much noise it would grab everyones attention but come on I have had TV's make more noise when you turn them on. Great value.
Customer Review: keeping warm
Summary: 4 Stars
gave it a four star rating because I'm not sure what a five should or could be! For the price, this puppy has done what I've asked it to do. I like it. It's relatively simple once you've gleaned the manual. Had the boyfriend install it; make sure you pay attention to the coloured stickers before unplugging your old therostat. Once those are on, it's a cake walk. Seems to be saving me money on the bill, waiting for the next one to know for sure. But then, I don't know if I can really know. This is the coldest and snowiest it's been in Colorado this month since the 80s! (or so they are saying.) The boyfriend is jealous. I bought mine because he bought one and likes it. He thinks mine is better than his. He got his at Home Depot for close to the same price and it's not as fancy electrically speaking. I'm happy with my hunter fan coompany 44360 7-day energy star programmable thermostat.Customer Review: Easy to use and saves money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perfect for single level apartments and homes. We are in a 1/1 large apartment and it works beautifully.
Our old unit was nonprogrammable and lacked features. It also had a degree variant of about 3 degrees so if we set it to 77 it would run until the house was 74 and then wait until it was 80 to turn back on...frustrating and costly.
This unit works as described and provides me with plenty of programming options, we use the week/weekend program and it is very easy to get set up and running. Installation was uneventful and was complete in about 20 minutes. Thanks to our electric company I can see how much electricity I use a day and what it costs me and so far comparing last month's bill with our old thermostat to this month's bill with this one I am saving roughly a dollar a day. Paid for itself in less than a month. Can't beat that.
Customer Review: JUNK
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes it is easy to program but it is junk. If I set the heat for 77 when the display shows 77 my heater will stay on until it goes to 78 which can take 30 minutes more and the room is boiling hottttt!!! When the digital thermometer on the table which is accurate and is 15 feet away shows the room is 73- the thermostat will show the room is 77 or sometimes 80. Then later it will show it is 75. My guess is the sensor in this unit is getting the temp from the back or the walls and not the room so it is not right. I emails hunter which said it was over a year old. OK if you are one of the biggest makers of therms in the country and you can't comp out a free unit which probably costs you $5 to make then your support sucks. I will not buy hunter as my next unit. MAYBE they work for some but this thing has always kept my heater running too long past the set temp. no thanks
