Honeywell Home 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat for Heat and Cool with Lighted Display - White - New - RTH2300B1038E1

Bought this to replace a 32 year old Honeywell round mercury thermostat. It was easy to wire and install. Unfortunately the comments I read, did not help whatsover, pertaining to the unit resetting because of a power outages, yet this would only happen with dead or no AAA batteries installed. Another complaint was for degree temps in the morning. Well, duh, if you live in the northeast, use the hold function and set the degree you want it at and not the programmable function to raise and lower your temps by day and night. Lastly, a complaint about small print. Are you kidding me, if your are old enough to wear reading glasses, wear them. Lastly, the comment about the landlord not providing a manual or can't find one online. Google the name and model number and call the company. Geez! None of those comments were helpful to me. Tell me how it works, not that you can't read the directions or don't know how to install or operate it. There is an 800 number and they will answer any questions you may have. They did mine. I recommend this product and have purchased 3 more for the other rooms of my home. Hopefully, fingers crossed, these will last another 30 years too.

Buy a Honeywell for peace of mind. The cheap thermostat the hvac repairman installed did not turn on the heater furnace. I purchased this based on using this brand reliable before. This wires up pretty easy and has clear instructions. Make sure the wires do not touch each other and stay separated. This thermostat cycles my a/c and heat like clock work. Very good product and well made plastic housing frame on this unit. The display lcd is very bright geen and clear and easy to read. The buttons are simple and the programming is easy, which is the best feature of this thermostat. Good value and reliable product.

This is an excellent choice in a programmable replacement thermostat. Installation was a breeze and in less than an hour my air conditioning was up and running. The backlit display is also an added bonus . This is an excellent value for the money and I can recommend it .

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. When I bought this, I knew Honeywell was a reputable thermostat brand and they did not disappoint. Physically, the thermostat was solid and well made. Technologically, I love that it has different programs for the week and weekend. Very logical! It was simple to set up and clear in its instructions. The backlight and time display were also big bonuses! Great thermostat for a great price.

The Honeywell 5-2 day is easy to understand and delivers savings on gas bills. Thanks Honeywell and Walmart.

I can't understand why anyone would pay more for a basic thermostat. This unit does all you need. Just set it and forget it. And if you need a little extra warmth, just bump it up and it will go back to your original setting in two hours.

works good

It is supposed to be backlit so you can read the temperature at night . That function does not work!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Unfortunately I can not review this product in its entirety as it arrived previously used and broken. The unit did not come with any of its original interior packaging, was not placed in the cardboard interior shell, and all stickers were pulled off, folded in half and loose in the box. This unit actually looks like it might have been swapped out with someone else's prior unit then returned without being checked. We tried hooking it up to power and it does not work. Very disappointing.

I'm utterly frustrated and exasperated trying to get simple functions.Beware - this model has the most bizarre setup,pre-programmed,and it's very difficult and counter-intuitive to try to get it to function on manual - or my own setting.After trying to change the clock time for Daylight Savings, I'm sorry I ever touched the SET button. The directions are twisted and don't work. The internal settings are for the birds,literally. It resets to default schedules that are maddening and wake me when my furnace kicks on at unexpected times, 4 times a day. I bought this model because I needed a single simple program. Whoever designed this seems out of touch with the needs of a common home such as mine. This is so bad, I suggest getting a different model with better reviews.
