Taylor Precision 5329 Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer/Hygrometer, 10 to 80% humidity range, -40° to 120°F (-40° to 40° C) temperature range, extend tubing out window to read outdoor temperature from inside

I like it because we had one for 55 years and the wire finally broke.

After following the directions on the box regarding the liquid getting stuck at the top during transit, some of the blue liquid did fall back down. However, after removing it from the box and letting it sit for days, inside, the temperatures were never the same, despite the sensor being right next to the thermometer in the same room. It’s not useful to me to if the temperatures are not accurate. And it’s not returnable.

I replaced an identical unit when the outdoor sensor was painted over during a paint job. Even after the paint was removed the outdoor temperature reading was no longer accurate. This new unit was very easy to install and the readings are accurate. Previous unit (same brand and model) worked for decades, so expect same for this one. Sensor wire required elaborate bending to accommodate sliding window, as with the original, which did not affect its accuracy. Unit gives you interior humidity, exterior/internal temperature in an easy to read setup. Recommend it.

Our home had a 30 year old Taylor - without the humidity dial. (Cosmetically, the units are very similar.) The outdoor "glass vessel" got stuck at 100 degrees. Time to replace. (I kept the old one though. With more knowledge, I might be able to fix it. (I hate throwing stuff out merely because I don't know more about what makes it tick. The wire and sensor are only for outdoors anyway - I assume.)The new one, depicted in the photo, has a "white square" for the humidity - ours is circular - but has the SAME model number! (whoops!) Although the cosmetic design is very similar to the old one, the physics principle is different. According to the "back card" instructions, this one contains a liquid in the copper "conduit" while the old one had a braided "electrical" wire shield - complete with a solid conductor attached to the sensor. I haven't researched this so I'm not sure how it works (thermocouple?) But, I DO know that the principle IS different. I cut the old wire to remove it and it was solid - with no liquid in sight. It seems to work fine though. However, time will tell...This device - including the old one - that does not require a battery. That I like! (No babysitting required.) It was cheap - even by today's standards... Is this a plus? Let's hope so. Will it withstand the test of time? Unknown at this point. I have my fingers crossed. I'd wager that Taylor's decision to place their bet on an overseas source - and different principle - does too!

It does not work! Unbelievable! These have functioned for decades and now you want to have China make it and it is worthless junk! And…not returnable!??! Why is Amazon allowing this type of a seller? No refund for junk they are selling! DO NOT BUY!!

This thermometer has the degrees in both C & F. Works great for checking the temperature outside.

Had one of these for years, it finally went kaput so got this replacement. This one has a hygrometer, which seems to read high (never below 75, but that may be true) but the thermometers seemed to be very accurate, until the weather got cold. Yesterday it was accurate at 75 inside, 68 outside. Today it is cold outside, another thermometer (Weston industrial dial type) reads 55 degrees inside (a shed) but the Taylor says 52. On an earlier cold day it was much colder in the shed but this Taylor seemed stuck at about 50 degrees. Today the Springfield 12" bulb-type on the porch says 33, a digital type with remote on the other end of the house says 34.5, but the Taylor says 30. Nothing is frozen so it's the wrong one. The need for accuracy is most important near freezing, most anything else is just a matter of idle interest, plus or minus 3 degrees.

Piece of junk, This was purchased to replace an almost exactly similar model Taylor thermometer I bought 25 yr ago. The difference in quality is apalling. The indoor part can't be easily read in normal room light. You would think the red would jump right out at you but you have to move your head back & forth to see it & it's hard to see at that. If you shine a light on it, it can be seen OK (not as well as the old one) but I can't carry a flashlight with me just to read this. The instructions say to mount it out of direct light so sunlight will not influence the temperature display...so it's on the north side (dark side) of the room. I could see the old one fine. The outdoor part didn't display the right temperature...it was reading 9 degrees (F) high. I had to take it apart, cut the glue holding the glass tube & move it down to show the correct temperature, then re-glue it. The humidity gauge may show the right reading at some point but if you tap it lightly, the display swings 20-40 percentage points. While I was trying to adjust it, the back popped off & I had to reglue that, too because that's where the mounting holes are. There has to be something better.

Did not work ? Outside thermometer does not move and it is set up correctly want to return ??? Followed directions to equalize tubes but did not help
