Honeywell Home RTH7600D 7-Day Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat, White

Man I am so glad this thermostat works well. We were short on money when our thermostat stopped working so we did the research read the reviews, tried to decipher between AI reviews and real life people who actually bought and used this thermostat and settled on this Honeywell Home thermostat. I love that it's simple! We have our rechargeable batteries in this thermostat and we recharge them every month, for the 3 months of Summer and the 3 months of winter when we use it daily, but we haven't had to recharge them at all during fall or spring as we only have used the thermostat four or five times. I love how simple and easy it is to use. All you have to do is turn it on with a little slide lever that slides to the right for heat into the left for cool and there are little arrow shaped buttons to turn the thermostat up or down. It seems like a sturdy little simple thermostat that looks nice and updated for a simple thermostat. If you're looking for something that is ultra modern with beautiful lights and lots of digital settings this isn't that, but I think that is clear in the description. This thermostat turns the air conditioning or Heating on quickly within seconds of switching it on but that's pretty much due to having a good charged battery set in the thermostat. The on and off slider is durable and the temperature setting buttons are about the size of your fingerprint and easy to see and press. Everything is on the faceplate and the up down buttons on the side with the on-off switch on the bottom front make this thermostat absolutely perfect for us.

I upgraded the thermostat that came in my house. Was easy to install and replace. Love I finally have a schedule to set for different times of day. The directions were easy to follow. Worth the money.

I got this unit to replace a 29-year old Honeywell Chronotherm 3 that controls our 2-stage forced air gas furnace. I installed it this evening. I got this unit specifically because it says it works with a 2 stage furnace. Apparently not all thermostats do. It also allows for 7-day programming, which I'm used to from the Chronotherm 3. (Vs. programming all weekdays alike and Sat and Sun alike.) I took a photo of the wiring in the old unit before taking it off the wall. (This thermostat comes with tags to put on the wires to help remember where they go in the new unit, but a photo was less cumbersome and my wires coming out of the wall were pretty short so I don't think there was room for the tags anyway.) The main delay in wiring up the new unit was that I had to paint the wall where the old unit was because it was bigger than this new one. I put a clothes pin on the wires to keep them from falling back inside the wall when I was painting. Once the paint was dry, wiring this baby up was pretty straightforward. I found it helpful to use some needle nose pliers to help get the wires into the holes. You'll need a smaller-than-usual flathead screw driver to set the screws. The designations for the wires on the new unit match up with the ones from the old unit, so that was easy. Programming the unit was fairly easy, although not perfectly simple, I think. I had to press a little harder on the touch screen than I had expected, but it wasn't difficult. I had a little trouble getting into the Schedule screen where you enter codes for the kind of system you have (in my case a 2-stage gas furnace with no air conditioner). I bypassed that programming section to go on to scheduling, thinking I might call the customer service number for help programming the system, but I went back later, tried it again, and got it this time. Not sure what I was getting wrong earlier; possibly something about not holding one button long enough. Scheduling was pretty straightforward. There are four periods for each day and you set the time and temperature for each one. I set all the weekdays together at the same time. I set Sat and Sunday each with their own schedule. The unit is running the furnace now and it seems to be working as expected. I'd give it five stars but to me five stars suggests perfection. It seems to WORK perfectly but maybe a five star unit would've installed itself? I'm a reasonably handy guy who does residential remodeling for a paycheck, but I think anyone with patience and basic homeowner skills could install this. Our last Honeywell thermostat lasted 29 years. Our Trane furnace wasn't supposed to last this long but it keeps chugging along, even surprising the techs who service it. (Take this as encouragement to buy a Trane.) I expect this new unit will outlast the furnace but maybe it can run the next one?

After deciding to upgrade my thermostat, it was either the Honeywell RTH7600D or a similar touchscreen unit from Lux or Hunter. I'll admit, I was partially biased when I shopped around as Honeywell is the brand I've had in virtually every apartment and house I've lived in pretty much throughout my adult life. In fact, I had never heard of Lux before I started shopping around and I've only known Hunter to make cheap air filters. The other models were cheaper and had some extra features I admit were tempting, but in the end I had to go with the brand I know and trust. Glad I did! The reviews here are spot on; it was very easy to install. I had a question about one of the wires that wasn't clearly addressed in the manual, so I called Honeywell tech support in the middle of the install. I reached an agent within seconds and he answered my question in literally less than 2 minutes. The entire install took less than 10 minutes. The screen is easy to read and responsive, don't have to press too hard. Lights up when touched, avoiding a need for a night light. I always try to touch the lower right corner of the screen to activate it to avoid changing anything on accident, but as long as you only touch one area once, it will just light up and not actually change or activate anything. It was pretty easy to set up the daily programs. I love the fact that I can keep the fan running constantly 24/7 with or without the AC or heat on. The ability of the device to learn how long it takes to bring the house to a set temperature by a certain time works very well. My wife wakes up to a warm 74 degrees while I wake up 4 hours later to the cool 71 I prefer. This is a really easy to use thermostat that has all the essential features for automated climate control and much more. It seems very well-built and high quality. I definitely recommend it. As a previous reviewer said, it's the Cadillac of thermostats!

Very easy to program and set up. The interface is straightforward and doesn’t take long to figure out. Works reliably and does exactly what I need.

Just started using it few days ago. So far work good Edit After using on program daily for a while, I'm getting frustrated, it's start 1 hr early than program. So far not sure why

Funcionando como se esperaba

This thermostat is perfect for my electric baseboard heating system that has a thermostat on a transformer and uses a two wire system (had an old style mercury switch thermostat in place before). Once you figure out which of the two wires go where (in my case black wire to W and white wire to R) it all worked well. A little challenging to program the installers features but once you learn you’re good to go. No C wire needed as it runs on two AA batteries. It controls the heat perfectly and is simple enough for most people to use. Just the fact that it sets the heat back at night so I’m not spending money (electric heat is expensive) while I sleep. Recommended product.

So far, thermostat works good! No issues!

Ive had this for a few months now. It worked originally but now does not come on at all. Very disappointed. Waste of money
