Fluker's Digital Thermometer / Hygrometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was dismayed at the varying results displayed by the analog hygrometers at the store, they were all in the same environment and they displayed much different readings. I wasn't interested in paying for a gauge that doesn't display accurate readings.
I assumed that an electronic hygrometer would have been much more accurate than the analog ones I'd been using. So I purchased the Fluker's digital model. I thought it was ok, and tried to calibrate all my analog gauges to the readings from the Fluker's. Then I bought the second electronic hygrometer, the EXACT SAME MODEL. Of course I expected the readings to be exactly the same, or at worst within one point of each other.
I am not kidding, Fluker's packaging states clearly these specifications:
HUMIDITY 1%
TEMPERATURE 0.1°
The readings from both my Fluker's electronic gauges are not up to Fluker's own specifications.
My gauges are inaccurate - here are my side-by-side results:
HUMIDITY4%
TEMPERATURE 1.7°
I called the company about this at their Port Allen Louisiana headquarters (225-343-7035 or 800-735-8537). When I asked how shall I tell which gauge is the accurate one, they offered no suggestions on how to calibrate or test them. They told me one or both of them were damaged and that I ought to go back to the store where I bought them, suggesting that the pet store may be able to verify the accuracy of the two gauges. They suggested that I exchange one or both gauges at the pet shop where they were purchased. They did not offer any other help, and this item isn't warrantied by Fluker's in any way.
You might be better off avoiding this item for the above reasons. Otherwise, even though Fluker's seems to be either lying or not interested in providing an accurate description of their product's calibration - you might be able to use these items for uses in which the accuracy isn't critical.
