Honeywell Home RTH7560E 7-Day Flexible Programmable Thermostat-Extra-Large Backlit Display, White

Loved that it has the auto circulate function. My apartment’s air conditioner is failing and they refuse to replace it so moisture builds up in the unit and molds. This function causes the unit to run 30% of the time so it helps dry the condensation thus eliminating the risk of mold growth and makes my apartment not smell since it runs all the time!

First off after reading the less positive reviews I cannot understand what all the fuss is about. Especially when it comes to the mounting and programming. Three screws and yes you may need to drill new holes and patch unused ones, you might even need to paint 😱. Needless to say mounting was no problem and while the wiring was a bit difficult (arthritis) it’s not the fault of the unit. The real issue was whomever installed the existing HVAC unit and thermostat could have left a little slack in the wiring, not Honeywells fault. Programming was also no big deal, just have the install book so you can read (yes read) what it all means. Once you’ve don’t one or two setting you’ll likely fly through the rest. I also read one review that complained about having to pop the unit off it’s mount to replace batteries. Exactly how do you think this should be done? Don’t want batteries make sure you have a “C” wire and pick a different T-stat! In my case my existing wiring was only four wires so if I wanted something more advanced I would need to update/change the wiring. A simple enough job but I’m disabled and cannot get up into the attic space and couldn’t get any local technician to give me an actual estimate. Said the system needed to be tested first which they would do with a service. At best I was able to figure it would cost no less than $200 and my quest for a updated thermostat that required no “C” wire began. Which is what ultimately brought me here today.In the end my one gripe (other as well from reading reviews) is that the ambient temperature displayed is off a bit compared to my old unit. When installed the old unit reads 68 degrees and the Honeywell 70 degrees. Check 24 hours later and the difference was the same. Could be the old unit is off or the Honeywell, I did not check beyond the comparison of the two. But that’s not really the gripe. It’s that Honeywell does not provide and offset adjustment. This said I simply programmed the unit to account for the 2 degree difference and the house is as comfortable as when the old unit was installed.FWIW the old unit worked fine, I replaced it for the following reasons:* old units display was hard to read because it was small.* old unit was not backlit (this would have helped).* was repainting and the old unit was beige and looked terrible with fresh white paint (was light yellow before).

Make sure you go into setup to change to 7day programing

I purchased 3 of these and replaced all of the thermostats in our house. Set up and programming is very user friendly, and installation is very simple. This thermostat works with simple "2 wire" systems, so there are only two wires to connect, although the thermostat can be used on other types of systems. Have had them installed for about a month and they are working perfectly and no doubt saving us $ with the program feature.

This thermostat works great. I love that I can set it to turn the heat down at night and during the day when I'm not working from home. It should save me quite a bit of money over time. And very reasonably priced.

Very easy to install, and if you have any questions, call their customer service. They will guide you through the installation process in a jiff. Honeywell has some of the best customer service I've ever experienced as far as help with any of their electronic components. As always, read the manual and don't hesitate to watch a video, if that's your thing.The display and functionality are both excellent, and I'd highly recommend this, or any of their product line.

I bought this thermostat about 4 months ago. I am extremely disappointed with my purchase. There is no swing setting (1 degree, 2 degree) which I can live with. Just figured I would put that in there in case that was an issue for anybody. Used it for air conditioning with no issues. Now, using the heat from my furnace is where I ran into issues. For the first 3 days it ran fine. One day I woke up and the house felt warmer than usual. I had the setting at 69 degrees and come to see that it is 74 degrees in the house. I removed the thermostat and the burners turned off and placed the thermostat back on and the burners kicked on again. My brand-new furnace was installed 3 days prior to this. Immediately I thought that there might be a wiring issue with the furnace, vibration may have loosened up the wires and caused a short. Everything checked out fine on the furnace side. I removed the thermostat again and checked to see if it was calling for heat, sure enough it was. Took a meter to it and found that the thermostat had shorted out on the 2 pins that call for the heat. Needless to say, I am now the proud owner of a $58.00 paperweight.
