Comment: Digital Thermometers are only as good as their accuracy and this Taylor is not accurate.
I have two other digital thermometers & humidity gauges. I bought this Taylor for its indoor-outdoor feature. First, I ran a basic comparison test, putting the Taylor next to the Springfield Precisetemp and LaCrosse Technology (both are good, accurate gauges.) The Taylor was off 2-3 degrees on its temperature reading AND 8-9 points off on the humidity reading! True, most homeowners like myself can deal with a point or two off, but an 8-9 points error is a reason to AVOID. Not recommended. 1 star - stick with Springfield Precisetemp or LaCrosse Technology.

Summary: Thermometer
Comment: The instruement is neither precise nor accurate. In either the indoor or outdoor mode, the readings vary from one to four degrees high.

Summary: I don't think it's accurate . . .
Comment: When I put the outdoor sensor out the window, the readings I was getting seemed extremely high compared with the indoor (we're in an un-air-conditioned room on the third floor of a brick building, yet the outdoor temp, in the shade, read about two degrees higher than the stifling indoor temp). So, just to experiment, I brought the sensor inside and placed it next to the base unit, left it a while, and compared temperatures again--there was still a two-degree discrepancy. This morning I came in to work and checked the temps, not having moved anything since the night before: now the outdoor sensor registered 1.5 degrees cooler than the base unit, still sitting next to it. The humidity reading seems unreasonably low, as well: a constant 36%. This thing is basically a toy.

Summary: Good for the money.
Comment: Bought this for my truck camper. Have it in my bedroom right now and have the outdoor sensor going through the window. Seems to be accurate, but i haven't compared it with any other thermometers to be sure. Good enough to use in my camper though.
