Worst programmable EVER!!!	September 6, 2020
Reviewer: Dawn Hamilton from KANSAS CITY, MO United States

I have been programming thermostats in multiple properties for decades. THIS IS THE WORST PROGRAMMABLE EVER-ever-ever-ever...!!! Too many buttons that seem to do the same thing, NOTHING is intuitive and the 47 page instructions??? Are you kidding me? 47 pages to explain what I and most people should be able to figure out in 5 min tinkering with the buttons BUT NOT this one!! NO! Even after reading instructions -AND THEY ARE JUST MORE CONFUSING! -I was reduced to speaking French and randomly hitting buttons ("Select YES. HOW THE F do you select YES?) to see if anything responded to what I was trying to set after 30 min of trying to program (never ever got it to stop on Saturday to set up that day). Good thing its 'easy install' cause we uninstalled it and returned it along with a store complaint to Menards to stop carrying that model.

Simply ridiculous	June 22, 2020
Reviewer: Ken Sprague from Wichita, KS United States

This is by far the worst thermostat I have ever purchased. The installation was fairly easy but the "easy to follow" instructions are so complex they are almost impossible to follow. I have reset to factory setting twice and turned off programming yet it still will not hold the temp setting. I have to constantly check to see what temp it is set on. I'm not a rocket scientist but I'm smart enough to set a temp. There is just something wrong with this device. C'MON HUNTER YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!

difficult	March 6, 2019
Reviewer: Jean Brooks from Jefferson, WI United States

I have used digital thermostats before and I really like them, but this one is impossible to program. The directions in the manual are long and convoluted. The trouble shooting page has no practical help. We got very cold by the time we gave up and left it on the preprogrammed setup. We plan to return and exchange it next time we go to Menards.

5 minutes install	October 3, 2018
Reviewer: Angelo Raimonde from springfield, IL United States

Worst customer service ever. Noone ever there. Noone even here. Never worked from day one. You must contact customer service to return but noone there. You will be seeing these o n shelves at Goodwill for a dollar

Weird	October 31, 2017
Reviewer: Tony B from Springfield, SD United States

So far, I'm not happy. I've programmed it Away - 0800-2000 70Â° & Asleep 2200-0730 60Â° and AtHome 70Â° (Retired - don't leave often)
works fine until 0645 it changes temp to 64Â° THEN it changes again! @ 0650 to 66Â°! I don't want the heater to come on until 0730 yet for some reason it decides to change the time and temp settings itself.
I'll exchange next time I go into town 30 miles away.
