BEST FOR THE MONEY
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have purchased two of these and found them very accurate for the price paid.
Not worth it, doesn’t work or last
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Bought it with high hopes. It wasn’t accurate, showing impossible levels of humidity and wouldn’t update. Then the battery died within 6 monthns and that will cost you at least $15 to replace. Bad product, not happy.
Great hygrometer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got one of these to replace an analog one that came with my humidor and this reads humidity perfectly. Confirmed that with the Boveda One-Step Calibration kit.
Good Value
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The machine is small, easy to mount, and attractive. Though I did not
perform any conclusive tests for accuracy, the unit agrees with local weather
data and my general perception. The temperature reading agrees with another
thermometer I have, and my research of other reviews show that the unit is
highly rated for accuracy. My only minor complaint is that the instructions
are not detailed and the explanation of the “history” function is not specific.
Does the machine keep a history of the low-high temperature and humidity until
it is reset or is the “history” for a certain period of time?
The unit is marketed for use with cigars but I am using it to monitor the
humidity for my guitars and it is excellent for this purpose, as the unit
can be hung on the wall with the magnetic mount and detached for use in the
guitar case. This gauge is also less expensive other similar units.
Great for acoustic guitar case
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is very slim and works perfectly for use in an acoustic guitar case. I bought the Boveda calibration kit to see how accurate it was, and it came to within 1%.
perfect
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Fast delivery. Exactly as advertised. Both calibrate the same and work great. Will sure order more if I need more.
OFF ABOUT 10-12% TEMP VERY ACCURATE…
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
VIDEO of Caliber III not tracking correctly… Had two other Hygrometers at different parts of the humidor and they all coincided against the caliber III. All the other Hygrometers tested and calibrated to “Humidipak” calibration test and all were dead on 75.5%
i think it needs calibrating…

I had this thermometer for around 3 years inside my humidor and now I’m sorry I trusted it. I just bought a new wine fridge (for the cigars and the wine) because this thermometer kept saying my old one was too warm. Then I inserted the thermometer inside the fridge and it never seemed to go down below 62 degrees even though I had set the fridge at 55. Well, I just put a mercury wall thermometer in the fridge and it went down to 54 immediately, while this one still showed 62. So it’s off by about 9 degrees! I could have kept my old wine fridge too…
My Hygrometer was off 3 degrees
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I was disappointed to see that the temperature guage was off 3 degrees. The seller replaced it with a new one quickly however and the 2nd one was very accurate. The humidity setting are easy to use and very helpful.
Guitar case hygrometer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I needed a hygrometer to keep tabs on moisture inside my guitar case. The Caliber III works quite well and is out of the way so I don’t worry about damage to my guitar.
Slow to respond to humidity changes and not as accurate as others
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The unit I received reads about 6.5% low. Also it takes a very long time to adjust to changes (took a full 12 hours to achieve a steady reading in a controlled environment). These two aren’t really issues of themselves, but one of the key features is that this device can monitor highs and lows during the day – with such a slow response to changes, I’m unlikely to really see high/low peaks.
Overall it’s usable, but the cheaper analog gauges I have are more accurate and respond quickly to changes.
