Anyone compare this to the 8 speed one with thermostat? Pros and Cons?

I don't have the 8 speed one but I love this fan! It's quiet and does a great job of keeping my room cool. The power button on the fan quit working but the remote works so that isn't a big deal.

No, there are six speed settings. Three speeds forward and three speeds in reverse. You would have to wire it to a 120 v thermostat.

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

according to Honeywell, there is no difference its the same as the rTH6580WF. One was intended to be available online only... If your considering this one, I would highly recommend the Emerson WHite-Rodgers Sensi thermostat, it's much better...

Sort of hard to say - since it's subjective. I keep mine outside my bedroom door - on the first speed - and it doesn't bother me at all. Sort of just a low fan sound - about the same as the heat kicking on and off. I don't notice it at all. However, all of the other speeds, in my opinion, are very loud. It goes up to 5 - and that sounds like a 747 idling. I guess if you had it in some remote location and wanted to crank it up, the higher speeds would work. I live in a 1200 sq ft townhome and, set at 45, it keep the upstairs (where it is) at about 45% and the downstairs at about 35%. Perfect for me. I'm really happy with it. No more shocking all the pets with static electricity! Sort of hard to say - since it's subjective. I keep mine outside my bedroom door - on the first speed - and it doesn't bother me at all.

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it

A 10' heater is too much for that thermostat. It is supposed to work up to 2000watts and 8.33amps but it doesn't operate right for an 8' which is 2000watts. I tried to get Honeywell to help me but they couldn't be bothered. Specs say 250watts per foot for baseboard heat. I have several of these on 8' applications and I am stuck with them because of Honeywells lack of cooperation.

Sorry, don't know. It is a great thermostat, set it, forget it, except to change from heating to cooling, that it does with a touch of the mode button, extremely simple, easy. Easy to install, novice type instructions.

The data tracking on the Ecobee is what attracted me to it. It has helped me get the best setup I could for energy savings. The main relay unit goes by your furnace, so you have no relay noise on the wall where the thermostat is. Take a look at their website and you can see all of the tracking abilities of the unit. I took back a Honeywell unit for the Ecobee. I was never interested in the Nest, as there are lots of reviews stating that it has issues holding constant temperatures.

It has vacation mode. Overall, not a great thermostat. Get something different. I just got it to match the other two in the house. Will eventually switch all three out to a smarter version, similar to Nest.

I'd say it's more low/high heat. The whirring of the fan and engine motor didn't seem to register any differently. Though, I'd invest a bit more cash in a different brand/model.

I used mine to interface to a zone controller so that would not be available as an option. I did not see any options on the programming of the stat. to control speed any way. My best guess from not seeing that option is that the thermostat would not control the speed but cant say for sure, I am not sure if your air handler has any sensors in it to detect if it needs to change fan speeds without a signal to do so from the thermostat, you could check on what actually controls the speed of the fan your equipment. This thermostat has tons of programming options and is the very best I have ever had or seen, but again I did not see programming options for speed control.

Unfortunately, I have never owned one before to compare to. However, based on ones I've heard on TV, I would say at full speed its about the same. Te variable speed switch cuts down on noise dramatically at lower speeds.

I personally don't have this device anymore, however, If my memory serves me right I believe so. On the other hand, I would not recommend this product as it's not entirely reliable a lot of resetting from what I recall. It may have just been a bad model but in any case for the money I would rather recommend to anyone looking to have wireless access to their thermostat to simply upgrade to the latest Honeywell Smart. It's really reliable and has Wifi built in. No need for exterior sensor as this picks up your local temperature from the web. I've had one now for close to a year and I must say I love it.

No thermostat. Super quiet. 3 speed. You could simply use a heavy duty timer vs a thermostat. Its a great value for the money granger over five hundred buxxxxx. Good luk

I never actually used it. I purchased it because I needed to relocate my thermostat, but was put off by the rerouting of the wires. After some thought, I figured how to reroute the wires, so I returned it before I installed it.

You are looking at 12~24VDC/110VAC electric units; not LP units i.e. Dometic or Norcold. I in fact use my FM-65 unit in my Toyota Itasca motor home, as I was not about to pay $1200 for a new LP Dometic. This Whynter unit cools much quicker than the Dometic unit did, and the digital temperature readout is nice.
