I finally decided mid way through the summer to replace my aging thermostat with a more modern programable one after the shock of the first summer electric bill. Every day I would raise the thermostat before I left, but ocassionally I’d forget and waste a days worth of cooling. There are many choices for thermostats, and I initially looked at this model because of the name, Honeywell, A brand that I recognize and Know is a major player in thermostats and climate controll. I purchased this model because of its great step by step instruction and ease of installation. I have worked with other older programable thermostats, and many use to be difficult to program and even more dificult to figure out the display. Well, this unit has a nice easy to read picture display, and the programing is a snap. One feature that is nice is that it has 4 programable times during the day: wake up, going to work, home from work, bedtime, allowing you to save energy over the day, but also over night when it is cooler. It also has easy to program saturday and sunday settings as well, with available 4 programing settings as well if needed. So if your in the market for a new thermostat, this is a nice simple unit, affordable, and easy to use, why waste more money on a more expensive model.

Update (2/9/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Great thermostat–lousy installation directions
I installed the thermostat on a gas furnace control, the wiring instructions below. The instructions said that the bridge wire removed in the terminal, if you had a two-wire loop. I did as instructed, the oven was but would not quit. After I played with the device for several hours, my wife checked the Honeywell website, and finally found that the instructions there said that the jumper was obligatory for the proper operation if you had a single transformer and a two-wire system . I have the jumper back to work on and the thermostat properly since. The thermostat works really well, but the directions stink.

Honeywell programmable thermostat
It is a very good product and easy to program. I would have preferred a cover that is hinged rather than snap on and off.
