Product review (4 stars): Give it time to set
Our coastal community was wiped out by hurricane Sandy and many of us are still dealing with mold and pockets of high humidity. This meter is easy to use, just hit the power button and give it a few seconds to adjust. I really like the display light button that makes the screen easy to read in those dark spots behind the oil burner or in the deepest closets. You can also hit the hold button to have time to view the readings, or recall readings.

 Most of us had heard of the wind chill factor, but I for one, never knew what a wet bulb reading was. In addition to finding the humid spots and correcting with dehumidifiers and heat, the kids and I have been viewing Youtube instructions and doing science experiments using wet and dry readings.

The unit comes with batteries, all set to use and also a handy belt clip if you are using it in a more commercial way on a jobsite. The manual says to keep the sensor protector shutter closed when not in use. Mine seems to be missing a cap or something, as there is no way to close it. It doesn't move or turn, up, down or laterally.  The clam shell package also popped open very easily. I'm wondering if it was a return.
