Honeywell RTH7600B

Easy to install and easy to program. I made one mistake is wiring which did not give me a program function I was looking for but re-read the instructions (slower this time) and corrected MY mistake easily.

Very satisfied

After doing a fair amount of research (and fence-sitting) I opted for the Honeywell over the Lux, primarily because the HW was a 2-stage unit and had more settings appropriate to my installation.

My prior thermostat was a "RiteTemp", and was anything but. Originally purchased from Home Depot or Lowe's.. don't remember. But out of the box the temp was way off (>4 degrees max adjustment). But the biggest issue I had with it was it cycled so d*mn much! I swear it would kick on the furnace every couple minutes.

This Honeywell unit has different settings for the type of furnace/heat you have. In my case, I have a high-efficiency unit--so I set it appropriately, and the cycling is much less. I'd say 1/3 as much as the prior stat. Also, it holds the temperature very well, which is good considering the much less cycling. The temperature is accurate too.

One downside with the Honeywell is that it does not have a "special" program; ie: for when you are home during the week or your schedule changes. It has permanent hold--but that defeats the purpose of a programmable stat.

Also, a couple other reviewers commented on the touch screen and that it was difficult to activate. It's actually really straightforward. The first touch to either the bottom or right edge "activates" the panel; ie: enables the touch screen and lights it. The subsequent presses move you through the settings.

All in all I am very satisfied with the Honeywell. The main reason I purchased it was to cut down on the crazy cycling from my previous Rite Temp. It has more than done that--while keeping the air temp more consistent. The only downside, for me, is the lack of an "extra" program--like an "I'm at home today" setting.

Great Replacement for older Ritetemp thermostat

My RiteTemp thermostat that was here when I bought my house constantly varied the house temp 1 degree above and below the set temperature. I'm on my second day with the Honeywell 7600D and I barely notice any temperature variance at all. The house is always comfortable now. I wish I had replaced the old thermostat a year ago. The installation was easy. I don't notice the click that some reviews have mentioned. The RiteTemp click was definitely louder. Only negative is that the down button doesn't seem to work for some settings changes. Not sure if this is as designed or if the touchscreen is flaky. Dropped a star only for that issue since I bought the model partially because of the touchscreen. Other than that I definitely recommend this one if you're replacing an older model thermostat and want to minimize temperature variance.

Honeywell Thermostat

This thermostat is the best I've seen. We had the factory thermostat installed with our heat pump and it seemed to run the heat and air more than normal plus there was a two degree temperature difference. You had to switch from heat to cool manually too. Since we installed this Honeywell RTH7600B 7 day programable thermostat it has actually reduced our monthly electric bill. We love it, the investment was well worth the change.

Thanks Amazon

Great product

bought this after replacing a lux. The swing on the lux which was normal was killing me. It was never the temp that I wanted. I could tell exactly the temp that It was without looking at it, therefore I was always too hot or cold.To the reviewers that you can't turn on the indigo light to see the temp without changing the setting is "False". Just tap it once and then tap it to change your setting that you want. My house now is a constant 70 degrees. Thanks God

Heating costs more now!

I live in an apartment with a 2 stage heat pump (air source) system and this product has actually increased my energy bill by 30% unless I leave it at a set-point temperature. Don't waste your money!

Great Purchase

I bought this to retrofit the 'old school' thermostat that came with my house. This product works great and using the copy feature i was able to program each day very quickly. I love being able to sleep in a cool house and waking up to warm one.

The touchscreen is great and the override is easy and very intuitive. actual installation took around 10 minutes and so far i have noticed a 15-25% in oil use reduction.

Works great!

This thermostat is easy to install and use. I had previously bought and installed a Hunter thermostat that on occasion would just shut down and not work. You then had to reset the whole thing.
The new Lux thermostat has worked since installed it. No problems

Lux TX9000TS Touch Scrren 7 Day Programmable Thermostat

WOW... was this ever easy to install. Mine only took 2 wires. It has a plethora of configurations as well as programming options. And it easy to program... 'even a caveman should be able to do it'. Looks good and was rated as #1 by Consumer Reports (Oct 2008)

Not ideal for going away

As a consumer that always seeks to save energy I had wanted to replace my old thermostat with this high end digital one. It works fine but one major problem is how hard this is to set when you go away for a period of time. You have to actually go through and set several time periods for each day rather than there being a going away option that lets you set a temp for the whole week. May seem minor but makes it time consuming to lower temp if you are headed out of town and as a result I end up not doing it for some weekend trips.

great thermostat!

I love this thermostat. I had a honeywell rth230b that short cycled. The Lux has a swing setting. Right now I have it set to "3". My heat comes on about every 45-70 mins. Before it came on every 20-25 mins. In the summer you want your air to come on every 20-30 mins, so I will adjust the swing.

Rating :



Outstanding thermostat

Finally upgraded from a Honeywell round thermostat, which was always sufficient. But our schedule has become more fragmented and it's great to have the thermostat jump back to the original program even if we override the current setting while we're at home. Wish I'd done this years ago. I actually like this thermostat better than the Carrier thermostats that came with my new house. I may switch them out :):)

backlit screen easy to see in dark.

Easily programmable. Blue lit screen makes it easy to see in the dark. Runs on rechargeable batteries. Definitely makes controlling the house heat convenient. Thin profile.

Lux TX1500E Prog Thermostat performs very well

This is a great unit. It is very easy to understand and program. The buttons are easy to read and the programming is simple. The only minor complaint I have is that the display is not as bright as the Hunters (with indiglo).

Rating :



Works as stated

Instructions are pretty straightforward. Easy to program with the Lux dial. I reset some of the programs and that went well.Temp was 1 degree off from another portable heater with thermometer which was pretty good. I would say the heater was off more that the thermostat. So all in all I would rate this product as very good.

A blessing for comfort

This product is really a blessing. I have 2 space heater. Before buying this product I had both heaters on. The problem was that in the middle of night I woke up full of sweet, because there was not a way to stop one of the heaters when the room temprature became hot while I was asleep. After I purchased this product, I set the device to 73 f and connected one of the heaters to it . Now when both heaters are working when the room temprature reaches to 73 degrees F , the device shuts off the heater that is connected to it, and therfore the room temprature does not increase over the set temprature. This device pays for itself , since I do not pay for the electricity and heat that I do not need, and more important it keeps me healty, not waking in the middle of night from too much heat, so I can sleep with peace. I highly recommend this product.

Great add on if you are buying a heater or A/C

Simple timer for temperature control that allows you to regulate when you use a heater or A/C. I used it for an Eco heater and it works great.

Love it

This item works just as I expected. I use it to control a torpedo heater in my garage. I especially like the fact that it also tells you the current room temp.

Works suprisingly well

It was exactly what I was looking for - something to make sure it didn't get too cold in my baby's room at night. I hooked it up to a steam humidifier (could do space heater, too) and it worked surprisingly well. The only other option would have been to keep the whole house at a certain temperature (expensive) or use a timer (a crapshoot). If you keep the temperature probe away from walls and windows (which may stay colder than the room air), it works very well.

Good filter. A bit pricey.

It's a decent filter. If you bought the HEPA unit itself, you're probably aiming for good air quality. I've had this unit for 2 years now. I have very bad seasonal allergies, and this unit helped me a good bit. Make sure you consider the square footage of the area you're filtering. On the downside, you need to shell out 70-80 every year on a HEPA filter.

Air filter needed airing out

I bought the Whirlpool Whispure 510 air cleaner several years ago and finally needed to replace the HEPA filter. The air cleaner itself had to be aired out for about a year to get rid of the plastic scent but once I had it inside and working it was very satisfactory. The HEPA filter to which this review refers also needed to be aired out but only for a couple of weeks. It went into the air cleaner with ease and is now working well.

No complaints on these filters, they last me about a year. Fit well and work fine, what more could I ask for?

Questions & Answers
Question : What would be the vest amp to use on a 1600 watt power acoustic subwoofer?
I HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO A 1000 WATT SONY XPLODE THAT OVER HEAT FAST, I TOOK THE FAN OUT OF A OLD COMPUTER AND HAVE IT UNDER THE AMP RAN OFF A SWITCH BUT IT STILL GETS HOT WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO KEEP THE AMP COOL?

Answer:
You have it wired up wrong if it's over heating.There are a few possibilities;1) It's not getting juice because the feeder wires are too small or your electrical system is not able to handle the load.2) the subs are wired so that they have less impedance than the amp is rated for.A common stupid /\/00|3 mistake is to think they will get big bass by bridging the amp (to double the power) and then wire the subs in paralel.What ACTUALLY happens is that they have the SAME power just only being delivered to one channel and the bridged subs are running @ 2 ohms which heats up the amp.

 

Question : will my amp running cooler the bigger the wire size? need cool cause in a boat, or will just heat wire less?
like if i run bigger wire maybe just the wire cooler not the actual amp? its 800 watt rms amp and the power wire is 2 feet long as well as the groundwhat gauge should i run for this? like i said its only 2 ft and forusure it will run cooler?

Answer:
Running bigger wire will affect the heat your amp generates when running ar high volume.

 

Question : upgrading an electric circuit from 12v 20 amp to 24v 15 amp. Would the wires get less heated?
Hi, I have a circuit where I am using one (dc) car battery and sucking in 20 amps. Because the battery dies tooo quick, I want to add a battery and make it 24v and lower the amps a little.My question is that would my wires (note: just the wires I am using for conductivity) be running cooler or hotter than what they are right now? right now, the wires do get quit warm in the process.Thanks

Answer:
If you double the voltage the current will be cut in half. I don't know where you get 15 amps. Yes, the less current drawn the less heat will have to be dissipated in the conductor.

 

Question : i am having wierd sounds coming out of my amp?
my amp is a fender blues delux reissue amp, 40 watt, tube. I crank it pretty loud when i play and use very high levels of distortion sometimes. I have a shitty starter pack strat and a PRS SE single cut which i play through them. It worked fine until recently i started hearing a drilling sound coming from the amp, i actually thought it was the neighbors constructing something at first and then turned my volume down a bit and realized it was the amp, the sound also becomes softer when i turn the guitar's volume down if that has anything to do with it. It happens at all volumes but is much softer than the guitar tone itself and is only barely noticable while playing but is still anoying.The amp was bought new about 3 or 4 months ago and i use it about 1 or 2 hours a night and 5 or 6 on weekends. I am taking care of the tubes, letting them heat up, cool down and not exposing them to moisture etc. If anybody has any idea what this is, it would be greatly apreciated if you could help me out

Answer:
The noise you described - if it sounds a bit like a hammer drill - is called motor-boating. If so, you will need to take it to an electronics technician. Something is wrong somewhere near the input stage of the amp. One thing, does it stop if you unplug all the inputs?

Question : Amp cooling box.?
The amp I received from a buddy tends to get warmer than I would like in the back seat of my truck, Noone rides back there so I plan on making a box for the amp to keep it cool. I already know how I'm going to build it. A hollow box with the amp sitting on top and a small 12vdc fan at the bottom. My problem lies as to which direction the fan should operate. Should it pull cool air through the amp, or blow cool air through the amp? I'm thinking blowing it through would work best as heat naturally rises.

Answer:
It's actually better to have the fan(s) blow across the cooling fins on the amp as it's the fins that carry heat away from the power transistors. Blowing through the amp does no good as the heat sinks (fins) are directly on top of the power transistors so no air would get to them anyway.The best type of fans are 12 volt brushless DC computer fans found at Radio$hack.
