Tools and Hardware Reviews of Analog Hygrometer 2.25" by Western Humidors
Customer Review: So much for so little money
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't smoke. I ordered two of these hygrometers, targeted at cigar smokers, to monitor the humidity in two levels of my house,after the installtion of a humidifier in my forced air heating system.
These hygrometers are small and analog, no eletronic fuss to be dealt with, which was what I was looking for.
For those who want very accurate results, I'd suggest calibrating the instrument, which would involve placing them at a locale with a known humidity value and adjusting alittle screm in the back. In my case, I was satisfied with the "out of the box" results, for they varied about one percent from each other...good enough for my intended use.
For the price, there is no better deal out there.
Customer Review: Accurate, Cheap, and looks great.
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought it originally to test humidity differences between the basement, attic, and living floor of my house. Helped diagnose the excess humidity levels in the attic, and the lack of humidity in the living floor that caused serious static shocks.
It can help with so many other things as well. It's great for woodworking, it insures that your area is at optimum humidy levels when applying varnishes or paints. Helped tremendously when I refinished my hard wood floor. Great for guitar cases. Also comes with magnet on its backside so you can stick it anywhere.
Best $7 I ever spent! Was calibrated at only 2% difference!
Customer Review: A toy Hygrometer and not even a semi professional.
Summary: 2 Stars
This Analog Hygrometer was a part of Frame and hygrometer set and now they sell it as an individual item. No problem so far. But Measuring humidity is other thing, this unit is of 12-14% and it show more humidity than actually is. I measured it with several digital Hygrometer and all of them within 1 to 2% were the same except for this one. You can adjust it a little bit but if it's too much out of range, then you can not even ajust it. Botton line is, if you are picky about exact measurement(or within +- 2% then this is not for you. Yes it show humidity exist but not percisely. For 8 bucks you decide.Customer Review: Works well enough, great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a couple of these to go in my basement because I joined a winter farm share and ended up with more storage vegetables than I ever imagined. I tested it in the fridge, the freezer, on top of the humidifier, and on a rainy day, and it seemed to work well enough, giving results close to what I expected. I can't say that it was 100% accurate, because honestly I'm not that picky, but it did go way down in the fridge and freezer, and went waaaay up over the humidifier, and seems to give accurate readings in the basement compared to the other one I bought. So, good enough for me!Customer Review: Perfect for a cigar box
Summary: 4 Stars
Really cheap, and perfect for a cigar box, but it really looks out of place anywhere else (it's only 2" wide and can't take any abuse). Although you could use it for a house, it's way too small to go anywhere but on a shelf somewhere (I've got it on a shelf in my office). Don't take me wrong, it works, looks ok, and even came with a free box of mints for Christmas (by the way thanks for that guys!) but it would really look out of place hanging on an wall in the Living Room. It's an old Analog design, not digital, meaning it runs off a spring, so you can't be rough with it.
