Vicks Humidity Monitor: Accurately Measure Moisture Levels in Your Home or Garden - White

Leatha R. Pierce: We use this every day. Numbers are good size and easy to read. We have AprilAire at our house so a humidistat is SO necessary.

Bobbybeb: I purchased this because it was suggested by the Vicks humidifier I recently purchased for my bedroom. While reading the instructions of the humidifier, it said to keep the humidity of the room between 40-60%, so I needed humidity monitor. I set this monitor near my bed and it appears to be accurate. The closer I set this monitor to the humidifier, the higher % it reads and further away, the lower % it reads. The monitor uses a AAA battery but the monitor comes with a AAA already installed and requires the a plastic tab to be removed for it to work. The battery is easy to replace via a plastic door at the bottom. The temperature can be changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius by a small rubber push button on the back of the monitor. The monitor is made to stand up by itself on a flat surface and does not have a wall mount option. The overall quality build of this item feels cheap so I would not recommend dropping it. Overall, the item works well and is simple and easy to use.

eDowds925: I bought this thermometer/humidity monitor to help calm my nerves and give me a better night's sleep. It has been unbearably cold (polar vortex) this January in Chicago and I have been frantic to keep my 4 month old warm in his pack 'n play in our bedroom. Unfortunately, the only location for his crib is near a very cold window. I was constantly worrying that he was too cold in our room and got up to check on him several times during the night. Finally broke down and purchased the Vicks Health Check Monitor for the built in thermometer. Works great and the humidity monitor was an added bonus! This is a very basic unit at a reasonable price. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it could really use a clock and a backlight feature for nighttime monitoring. Additionally, it's a little wobbly and tips over easily.

🌺 Lynne E.: This VICKS HEALTHCHECK HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE MONITOR is a simple device that only does two things--display temperature (F. or C.) and relative humidity--but it does both really well. The 3-1/2" x 3" monitor has a built-in stand, and a large, clear readout. Beneath the display screen is a printed "key" that explains the ranges of relative humidity: 0% to 30% is too dry (dry eyes, nose & throat); 30% to 50% is the comfort zone (healthy breathing); and 50% to 85% is too humid for everyday (best for coughs & colds).

Out of the box, the monitor took a few hours to display the correct room temperature, but it now agrees with the changing readings displayed by a couple of other devices in the same room. More importantly, the relative humidity display is totally consistent with the automatic humidity settings on my new whole-room humidifier. I purchased this monitor because I didn't completely trust the humidifier's automatic sensor, which is probably too close to a furnace vent. Now this monitor tells me when the humidifier should be turned on or off.

EMT: Okay, Here it is, i know sometimes you get dodgy merchandise - that happens once in a while. But if you get the majority of review pretty positive and a few that bad - its a good bet to say that its generally a good product.

Thankfully for me I've had a good experience. Its not going to solve all your problems but its handy, small, is accurate - tells the moisture level and also the temp very accurate - I know as i compare it with my thermostat. It takes a few minutes to adjust if you move it but that is just natural. it worked straight out of the box, and I'm guessing will probably not have to replace the batter for a good few years easy.

You know straight of the bat when you get a good product and I'm guessing this thing will last for many years to come. Vicks is a good brand. That's why I went with them, since i was a child I use to use their vicks rub when I got a cold or sore muscle or to relieve sinus and cold congestion. So it was just a natural choice and I"m glad i went with it.

its a good product, and if you like something that works, is easy and accurate that will last a long time, you will like this one too.
