Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lux TX9000TS Touch Screen Seven-Day Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: Nice Thermostat.
Summary: 5 Stars
I Just installed this thermostat. I was impressed with the programmable options.
I am 55 years old. I am considering one for my mother. However,
my mom is hard to please. And, I am pretty sure the overide of a manual temperature
adjustment stays set until it gets to the next time interval (i.e. 10pm-6am).
I only just installed this Lux. Preferably, a manual overide could be engineered
for a 2 hour interval only. This is just my opinion. Time will tell.
Programming would be impossible for anyone over 70 years old.
I don't normally review any items. But,
I really like this thermostat! I hope you do too!! :)
UPDATE:
This thermostat has a "HOLD" that makes it like a standard thermostat.
Or, you can just tap a new temperature that will stay until the interval is done. You can't go wrong buying this thermostat! I LIKE IT!
Customer Review: Lux TouchScreen Programmable Thermostat
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent thermostat. This is my third programmable thermostat, and the absolute best one I've had.
I replaced the last one (another brand) since it was just too time consuming to program (it usually took me about 30 minutes since, if I made one mistake, I'd have to start all over,) and, every time the battery died, I would have to reprogram it.
This new Lux is so easy to program and change. (No more tiny buttons to deal with!) It is completely user friendly. I've changed it already several times to fine tune my pre-set temperatures. The information is very easy to see--especially with the built in light. (My last one I'd have to retrieve the instruction manual, take it off the wall, and fight with it for 30 minutes.) The new Lux was also very easy to install. I'm so glad I got rid of the old one and replaced it with this very nice looking and well working Lux.
Customer Review: Rated #1 by Consumer Reports
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an older model floor/wall heat system that requires a millivolt thermostat. I ordered the LUX TX9000TS thermostat recently after reviewing consumer reports on-line. I'm happy to say this thermostat was easy to install without any issues. It has large easy to read letters and numbers without having to use my reading glasses!!! After the unit arrived, I had it mounted and programmed in 15-20 minutes. According to the Lux website, this unit will also operate most 24 vac systems too. The touch screen is a nice feature and is really straight forward. The blue back light feature is an added plus during the evening and actives on the push of a button, and turns off automatically in about 15 seconds. For those folks who are shopping for a thermostat and can't decide, in my opinion, I believe most folks will comfortable purchasing this unit. I'm glad I did, and hope you will be too!Customer Review: Works great, but needs some user interface improvements
Summary: 4 Stars
Installed very easy and it works well, but the user interface needs some tweaking.
The copy mode is a little weird...it copies the previous day's schedule to the current day, then moves it to the next day (if Wednesday is displayed, pressing copy will copy Tuesday's settings to Wednesday and display Thursday).
Scrolling through the days can be a bit painful (~8 presses per day) . Pressing the copy button would scroll you quickly through the days, but it would also change the programming. A "next day" button would really help.
Also, remember to program both the heat and cool cycles. The heat cycle can only be programmed if switch is set to "heat" and the cool cycle can only be programmed if the switch is set to "cool."
Overall, I am satisfied with the product and would buy again. It is great value for the money.
Customer Review: Recent purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using this thermostat for only a few weeks, but there are some things I like and one that I find in convenient. I purchased this thermostat during the winter months, so I have not used the cooling features.
Weakness:
1. There is a heating program is pre-programed and I have not been able
to remove it, so I had to adjust my settings within the
pre-programmed program.
Strength:
1. Easy to install
2. Easy to program once you understand the instructions
3. The large screen can be lite with a touch of a button
4. The location for my thermostat has a single unit light switch box so
there is a hole about 5" high and 3" wide. This thermostat came
with a matching color plate that presses against the wall that
covered the remaining hole.
