AcuRite Digital Humidity Gauge |
Dust mites and molds, the two most common indoor allergens, both require humid, warm environments for growth. This indoor/outdoor Acu-Rite digital humidity gauge
allows you to accurately monitor the humidity in your home so that you can keep it at a healthy level. With a large, easy-to-read display, this AcuRite provides you up to the
second readings on temperature and humidity. With a 10' external sensor probe, you can also monitor outdoor temperatures or the tempature wherever you place the probe.
The unit can be mounted to the wall or stand on its own as a display stand allows the gauge to sit upright. A backlight can be turned on to illuminate the screen under
lowlight conditions, while the push of a button can quickly show you the current time.
For the best control of mold and dust mites, we recommend maintaining a relative humidity of 40 to 50 percent for allergy sufferers. This
impressive yet affordable Acu-Rite humidity gauge includes a submersible, weather-resistant probe for extreme outdoor
weather monitoring and requires one "AAA" battery (not included).
- Temperature Range (Main Unit) - 32°F to 122°F; Probe: -58°F to 158°F
- Dimensions - W 2.75" x H 4.5" x D 0.5"
- Humidity Range - 16% to 98% Relative Humidity

 Keeping Humidity in check
Reviewed by: Dust mite allergy sufferer from Pennsylvania
Excellent gauge to watch humidity levels in all areas of home. Portable to each room and is quite accurate. I don't use the outside temp as I am not interested in that. Just inside temp and humidity levels.

Easy to use
Reviewed by: humid in Florida from Hollywood, Florida
This gauge is easy to use and affordable. I recommend it to anyone curious about the humidity levels. I bought it for my apartment because I don't have a vent in my bathroom and also because I live by the ocean and love to have my windows open.

Customer Q & A
Q1: How long does it take for this product to take an accurate humidity reading? I plan to take one from home to home for readings I have a home watch business and this would be the best way I can think of to assure the combiation A/C/humidifier is operating correctly.
A: Not long. Typically it will readjust to the correct readings in just a couple short minutes. It only needs a small amount of time to take readings of current conditions.
Q2: Where is this device made? ie. country of origin
A: China
Q3: if i mount the probe in my attic and run the wire to the main unit in my hallway will it measure the temperature AND the humidity in the attic?
A: Not both. The Acu-Rite measures three things, indoor temperature and humidity as well as outdoor temperature. The indoor readings are taken from the body of the unit while the outdoor temperature is measured by the probe. By placing the probe in the attic you can get an accurate temperature reading, but not humidity. The humidity is read by the sensor located behind the small "grill" at the bottom of the housing. There are 5-6 slots there where air can circulate and provide for a reading.

9/10/12 Allergy Armor Organic Bedding works just as good as the Ultra, but I feel good knowing my face is rested on all natural organic cotton. Actually, I would recommend a cover regardless of allergies, just so I know I am not breathing pillow stuffing. More Testimonials
