Product review (4 stars): Good for monitoring our baby's room
As we are expecting our second child, we were in need of a thermometer that would allow us to monitor the temperature in the baby's room. This thermometer was simple and compact enough for us so we decided to give it a try.
The thermometer arrived simply packaged with little to no instructions that were a bit difficult to understand. After peeling the protective cover off of the face of the thermometer, it was obvious that it needed batteries. Unfortunately, the paperwork that came with the thermometer did not instruct you on how to find the battery slot.  For future reference, it takes one AAA battery and the slot is underneath the stand that the thermometer can lean on. The battery door was a bit tricky to remove. After putting in some real elbow grease, we were able to get the battery cover off and insert the battery. Thankfully the unit powered up immediately.
When the unit powers up it is measuring temps in Celsius so we needed to switch it over to Farenheit. There is a simple pin hole on the back that you can insert a safety pin into to switch the temp from C to F or vice versa. It was quick and easy to make that change.
The readout is large and easy to understand. It lists the temp inside and outside (or wherever you have placed the temp sensor), the humidity and the time- which is an excellent feature that comes in very handy!
We strung the thermometer sensor cord through the doorway into our baby's room so that we could get a sense of the temperatures in that space. While the thermometer seemed to work just fine, we did have a bit of a challenge running the cord enough into the space to get an accurate readout. If the sensor cord were a bit longer it would be very helpful.
The thermometer came with a small suction cup that at first I was excited about, but I quickly realized that there is no good way to attach the suction cup to the back of it. Since the instructions were not any help, I was unable to use this piece. Instead I have been propping it up with the stand on the back and I've even hung it from a nail (it has a circular slot to hang it from which proves to be helpful.)
It is a decent thermometer that we will be able to use for our child's room. I wish that the instructions were clearer and that it had a longer cord for the thermometer sensor but overall a good product.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. If you thought the review was helpful at all, a helpful vote would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
