Does not work and you don't even get the item in the picture
1. You don't get the hygrometer you see in the picture . You get instead useless tin and plastic product that does not work and does not even look like the item in the picture (The thermometer works but not the hygrometer). Ironically, in correspodence with the condescending distributer, he called this an "upgrade"!! In my book it is false advertising and switch and bait when you show one product but ship another. I asked him in 2 emails to not sell this item or at least to change the photo advertising this item on AMAZON. He did not even relate to my request, but he did return the money. Amazingly, you'd think he'd like to see what the problem is and ask me to return it. NO. He does not care what I do with the 2 junky instruments. He had no interest in my sending them back!! 2. Here is what's wrong: I bought two identical items. so it is not that by chance one is not working. The hygrometer DOES NOT MOVE from 48% humdity, ON BOTH identical items I bought. The items have shown 48% all of the time they have been in my house, ever since I first took them out of the box. I know 48% humidity is wrong because I have ANOTHER, different, working hygrometer that shows 67% in the same room with a BIG steam humidifyer, and 55% in the rest of the house! NOW, reader, If one item does not work you would probably forgive and hope your item will work. However, when two of the same product fail there likely is a systemic problem. Right? Don't make a mistake. Stay away from this one.
