Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lux Products TX9000 Smart Temp Programmable 7 Day Thermostat
Customer Review: Decent, Easy Programability, Lost Points for Durability
Summary: 4 Stars
I guess it is a tribute that I am buying another one of these. I have had this unit for 7 years and it has been slowly dying for a few months. The weakness is the pushbuttons and slide switches that wear out. The real plus to this unit is the interface which is a lot easier and quicker than the almost entirely menu-driven units which take time to change. This one is quick for guests to figure out too. So the "hard" buttons are both a strength and weakness. Overall though, a nice thermostat which you may have to replace in a few years--unless the manufacturer has made any changes in it since I bought my original one.Customer Review: Very happy with this unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my unit at Lowe's. I am using this for a millivolt based natural gas wall heater and it works great. Simple two wire hookup for my system, but can handle much more complicated setups. I am going to be going with the HoneyWell RTH7500D for my main house control because I want the "auto-switchover" feature, where it will automatically cool or heat depending on the temperature. But this unit is much cheaper than the Honeywell and is working great for controlling my heater. You would want a different unit if you had a multi-stage heat pump, since this unit is not compatible with multi-stage heat pumps.Customer Review: Get rid of cycling
Summary: 5 Stars
I was sick of the constant cycling my cheap programmable thermostat was doing. It would cycle my furnace and A/C every 5 to 10 minutes regardless if it needed it. This one let's you adjust that cycle temperature. I adjusted it so now it can have up to +/-2.5 degree F swing. So if you set 65 it will kick on at 63 and shut off at 67. It can be adjusted so it stays at a constant temperature as well, but I was trying to get rid of the constant cycling during cold weather. Great product so far.Customer Review: All 3 with unusable LCD screens at night
Summary: 2 Stars
We have 3 of these Lux systems in our sprawling house. All 3 have in a few short years had the LCD screens become unusable at night with the incorporated light. The programming part works well enough, The LCD is ok in a well-lit area, but we need to use a flashlight every time we want to adjust them. Not surprisingly, we adjust them less often. It is very frustrating and seriously compromises and otherwise good product.
Customer Review: Love the Lux!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great! Checked out Consumer Reports before ordering and all of the Lux thermostats were highly rated. This one installed in minutes and has been working perfectly. It's easy to program and I no longer have to "remember" to change the thermostat setting when I leave for work. I highly recommend this unit...it's a terrific value.
