Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really like this thermometer. It's accurate to within a half-degree as far as I can tell. I've checked it against two other mercury (bar) thermometers that are calibrated, and it's almost spot on. However, since we live in a two story house, temperatures vary by several degrees depending on the room we're in, the season, and the HVAC. I can't fault La Crosse for that. I'll give them a 5 for the thermometer AND design. The humidity is a totally different story. The La Crosse's hygrometer is 5-15% off from the other two hygrometers we have, both of which read identically. Usually, I would make the analogy of the guy with one watch always knowing what time it is, while the guy with two watches is never sure. This time I'm sure. The hygrometer of the La Crosse is not that accurate which makes the "Comfort Level" read "Dry" all the time even though the humidity in the house is set at 55% and is fairly constant throughout the house. So the "Comfort" scale is like the guy with his feet in the refrigerator and his head in the oven, and on average he's fairly comfortable.
