Customer Reviews for Honeywell Home Round Non-Programmable Thermostat with 1H/1C Single Stage Heating and Cooling

I wanted a simple thermostat. That's exactly what I got with the Honeywell thermostat. It's easy to install and simple to use. No complicated programming needed.

It functions better than digital programmable controls in my opinion. My grip is lack of Quality Control. Although the controller works satisfactory, the settings are not marked (see attached photo). Honeywell has yet to respond to my Case. I recommend it. Just keep in mind to buy a package of peel and stick letters. You'll need them to mark what settings the controller is on.

This thermostat is perfect for installation in where common wire is lacking (no power coming from furnace). Simple design, easy to use, not too sensitive and seems to last for a long time. However, for the HVAC systems coming with common wire, I would recommend installing more advanced type like programmable/smart thermostat given the price being almost the same and rebates from utility companies.

The unit is simple in design and function, has easy to understand instructions on setting it up, and works flawlessly with a mechanical simplicity that borders on genius. My older thermostat, a fancy computerized model that allowed for network connectivity and web-based controls, lost it's mind - literally. Suddenly my house was getting hot - fast, yet the 'stat said all was well. Go online and it said differently and it refused to let me change it. After many hours of Frankenstein's monster tormenting us, I gave in and went low-tech. My only CON on this unit is it's small size when compared to the larger more elaborate thermostats: wiring with older, thicker wiring like my house means you have to take extra care not to cross anything when installing it. Other than that, I love the simple use and ease of install. I'm never going back to the high-tech stuff like that again.

Was exactly what I needed

an old standard - does the job. generally reliable & less problematic than programmable thernostats, though numbers are smaller, harder to read for those with older eyes /farsighted

A traditional manual thermostat, nothing to pram and or to go wrong, Honeywell has made this thermostat for many years, never fails!

Easy step by step instructions easy to install works perfectly

Will it work with a two stage variable speed unit?

The thermostat was a bit involved to install as it needed a very small screwdriver blade, needle nose pliers and steady hands but once on the wall it has been working like a charm. Not noted but mentioned when I called Customer Service (excellent, by the way) was that the unit contains a battery that takes over an hour to initially charge before the thermostat will function properly.

Dial extremely tight to turn, as you turn dial for temp, the degrees faceplate moves left to right. Thermometer red tip touches the dial. This is way to expensive at $50 bucks to made this poorly. Wasted my time for the drive to pick it up, install, remove and drive back only to get another in the same cond.

The Old One. Blinkes On And Off !

It did not work as it was not compatible for whatever reason. We ended up going with a different Thermostat that did work perfectly.

I am so pleased that this type of thermostat is still available. It replaced yet another defective digital thermostat.

I had this product for years works excellent. I bought a second one and it was faulty I had to return it for another so far it’s keeping temperature! No issues yet i recommend buying again!

The thermostat is 3 degrees off

Easy for intalled in my house

Had these for 20 years and then tried the Nest. The Nests malfunctioned after a year and then the battery wouldn’t charge. Wen back to these Honeywells. Flawless operation. No WiFi, programmability, AI learning algorithms or other nonsense. They just do the only thing that’s important: they work perfectly, with no batteries required.
