This lovely thermostat is a good buy. Fairly easy to install (although make sure you differentiate the "r" wire from the "RC" wire during set up!). The touch screen is easy to understand and it is easy to program, too. Nice to be able to walk by and see the time prominently displayed, too. Overall, would recommend!

I swapped out an old fashioned Honeywell non programmable mercury thermostat for this unit. It comes with simple easy to read instructions and although I'm certainly no expert at these types of installations, in no time the unit was up and running. It also comes with easy to read instructions to program it and after the first time it is quite self explanatory really. Also, it's affordably priced, it does not make any clicking noises when the heat turns on and off - a complaint I came across in reviews of more expensive models, and if you need to change the temperature in the night I found using the simple arrows up and down keys kept the light on long enough to read the screen and do what you have to do - the light was another common complaint. In fairness this is my first programmable thermostat, so if you're someone with experience of many different models, then maybe you could find fault in it? Personally I'm delighted with it and a month after installing it I have absolutely no complaints.

This is a friendly little product. Beautiful, clean design and great user experience (UX) on both the thermostat itself and the app. So nice to be able to turn the temp down from anywhere when I'm away from the house for a while. It's very intuitive to figure out how to manipulate the settings, and having the outdoor weather posted is a nice little extra.

This is a nice thermostat. It is easy to use and mount on the wall, if you decide to do so. It is quite accurate and helpful to gauge the correct humidity percentage and degrees in any room. The screen is easy to read and follow. Would recommend.

We decided to do away with our temperamental programmable thermostat. It is VERY easy to install if you make an accurate record of the wire color codes to your current thermostat to get the reconnections correct on this new one.  The letters on the terminal block do not always match the colors of the wires. But, If you have a smart phone, and most people do, PHOTOGRAPH the terminal block on your current thermostat with the wire colors clearly showing. A couple of colors are pretty standard like Red for the 24VAC power line, but you need to know which is the Fan wire, which is for the Heat (gas) relay, and which is for the Compressor (AC) Some color codes vary from thermostat to thermostat.  This thermostat is also pretty darn simple to operate

I recently bought two of these thermostats. In my last house I had purchased the Honeywell TH9320WF5003. It's the fancy color screen version that looks basically like a cell phone on the wall. It was beautiful and I did like it. However, this house required two thermostats and I didn't particularly want to spend that much to purchase two of them. In addition, I rarely used the wall version once my phone was set up. It looked great when selling the house so I left it there. This version does everything the other does at basically half the price. It took a little to get it connected but most of that was due to the fact that I had a heat pump and wasn't sure that was the case. The wiring was different but it was covered in the manual. This works great with Alexa and is very easy to program. The website is even easier to use than the phone for programming. Well worth the money. I hooked up a hotspot to the one in the house I sold to ensure the heat was still working. That house was on propane and I was concerned that in Northern New York it would run out. The peace of mind knowing my pipes won't freeze would be reason enough to buy this!!

My apartment's thermostat has gone "kaput" and I decided to replace it myself with the permission of my landlord. He gave me the go-ahead when I told him it would only be $25.

The directions were very clear, and thankfully, the old unit I was disconnecting had its terminals marked I was able to very easily label the wires using the provided label sheet and re-connect them to this new Honeywell unit.

There are a few things about this unit that preclude me from giving me a five-star review. Firstly, the inside clips holding the middle plastic panel to the front panel are poorly designed. They don't fasten very well. Next, the thermostat read 80+ degrees (F) for at least a half-hour after I installed it. No, the package wasn't sitting outside in the heat before I brought it in. Eventually it read the proper ambient temperature compared to some meat/brewing thermometers I had sitting around. Lastly, the LCD panel seems to have some sort of dirt or dust from the factory in the lower-right corner. None of these issues make the unit less functional, but it is a clear reminder of how little it costs. Shrug.

In the end, I had no issues installing it and it operates my heater (a hydronic/radiant heater, for those in suspense) without issue.

In an effort to save a few bones on the gas bill in the winter, I purchased this thermostat to replace an old nonprogrammable one. With minimal effort (1 screwdriver, 10 mins) I was able to replace the old one. You'll need to connect 4 or 5 wires from the wall to the new unit. Don't fret though, thermostat wires are colour coded!

Programming is simple (3 mins to fully program) and the unit allows for two groups of programs (monday-friday and sat-sun).

My only qualm with the product is the batteries shipped with it, they only lasted about a week before they needed to be replaced. I've put in a set of decent batteries and now all is good!

We got this thermostat installed about a week ago and I can only say positive things about this package so far. The touch interface is nice and the color display looks great.  The icons are smooth with no jaggies or 8 bit looking graphics, everything looks crisp and the touch sensitivity seems spot on. The install was done by an HVAC friend of ours, I watched and am tech savvy, it would be pretty simple for a DIY'er if you were familiar with wiring and could read wiring diagrams on the furnace side of things. If you don't want to mess with furnace wiring this is something you shouldn't attempt to install yourself. This thermostat only uses a common and hot wire from the furnace and has no battery backup.  If your power is out this is dead. It does have a CR2032 installed to keep your settings until the power does come back on. We have ours hooked up to a brand new furnace/AC/Humidifier and this unit controls it all with ease. It has an outside sensor that tell the outside humidity and temp and will make automatic adjustments to ensure your humidifier won't fog up your windows in the cooler months(a specific menu in the stat is setup to tweak this).

The web interface is great, the GUI is well thought out and I have the apps for both iPad, iPhone and Android. They all look and work the same way.  The app it self connects via the internet to the gateway (which is not included with this bundle from what I can tell) so if you want mobile access to your heating and cooling you will need to pick up the redlink internet gateway and connect that to your router via a wired connection.

Overall this is great and with the redlink it s great alternative to the NEST stat, this has a ton of added options that make this less of a novelty with actual warnings and diagnostics capabilities. I will post back after a few months with any additional thoughts or troubles we may have.

Wow! This is really nice. Seemed simple to install as it came with good instructions (btw, I've never played around with replacing a thermostat before).

Looks far more expensive than it costs. Not sure yet how well it will work as we are using it in a non-standard application (RV rather than a house), but as this pretty much the same install as in a house it shouldn't be an issue. I was concerned that any settings I input will disappear because the camper's "house power" is not always on, but this too shouldn't be a problem as the settings are retained in memory (due to the battery backup (AAA x 3; not included)).

I like the white color (our current camper unit is black); I like the large readout and that it is back-lit (current thermostat is very difficult to read and has no back-lighting).

At $54.99 (Amazon price at the time of this review) it seems worth every penny.

5 enthusiastic stars. (As I always try to do with Vine reviews, I will update as necessary.)

The thermostat setting is brilliant. This unit has been reliable and it was relatively easy to install in a first floor window with two people. A second story install may be more tricky.

I have had this for several months and it is working great. My Thermostat was downstairs and my bedroom is upstairs, so in the summer it would get quite warm around 2 or 3 am. This fixed that, I am able to keep my bedroom the perfect temp with easy. I keep the new thermostat on my desk. Installation and programming were no problem (just make sure you can get to the 24v wire). The best part? I may even be saving a little money compared to my old thermostat as I only cool when I want to, I don't have to freeze the whole house so I don't wake up sweating. 5 Stars.

It is a little noisy, but works well and I REALLY appreciate having the thermostat control!  If not for the  noise I would give it 5 stars.

The Nest works very well and is very pleasant to use. My favorite feature is the ability to control the temperature from wherever I am, using my iPhone, without going to the thermostat. I also like the peace of mind from knowing I can turn off my heating if Im travelling and forgot to turn off the system. Here are some thoughts on installation:

My system's wires were non-stranded but thick and would not fit inside the Nest. I had to buy thinner wire and couple the old wires to the new thinner wire that fit in the Nest.

My main feedback is that customer service is almost inaccessible. No one is willing to wait 30 min to talk to care; I tried calling at 2 different times. I wanted to find out whether my system was high voltage or low voltage, but could not reach customer care. This delayed me in installing the thermostat. I finally figured out the voltage of my system by looking up the Honeywell thermostat that was on the wall and satisfying myself. Seriously, staff up or do a better job with the information online.

Good quality with lots of features. Good price for a full-feature thermostat.

I found this product matched my previously installed Honeywell thermostat, so I didn't really need to replace the holes already drilled in my wall. This made installation super easy. The instructions were easy to understand and the wiring was similar to the previous thermostat too.

The only thing is that the programming of the thermostat could be easier to do. Also, a programmable thermostat will only save you money if you actually leave the house on a regular basis. If you are home all day, you won't save a bit. So the Amazon product page is a little misleading.

Bought as a house warming gift - easy to set up and looks beautiful plus comfy!
