    Though the thermometer and hygrometer are cheap light plastic, and the needles don’t move perfectly smoothly, what do you really expect short of $10 a gauge? You might find they move just a degrees/percent or two if you tap them, but they’re spot-on accurate according to the local weather. I’d normally give 4 stars, but you can’t beat the price!

    The thermometer takes several minutes to respond, because it’s undoubtedly a bi-metal spring, but seems fairly accurate. Only reads from 65° to 110°F though.

    The hygrometer reads from 0 to 100% RH, but narrows above 70%, obviously being less accurate in the high range. Expect the spring mechanism to naturally take quite some time to reflect large changes. It passes the wet-towel test for calibration, reaching 95-100% RH, however I don’t see a calibration screw. Maybe if it went out of whack you could remove the rear cover (three small screws) to fix it.. but probably best to expose it to low humidity once in a while to keep it in spec.

    Fluker’s is a respected name, which is why i bought this. Though the hygrometer didn’t work, at ALL. And the Temp gauge worked decently. Only gripe was the hygrometer, which is what i needed the most. Oh well.
