Accurite Alternatives

I've found these to be cheap and accurate, as have many others. I recently read a thread where folks have found them unreliable and inaccurate. What probed combo thermo/hygros are others using that may be better. I guess I've become temp obsessed as my new T8 has two Accurites and two thermostat probes. 30 years ago I just threw a hot rock in there and called it a day.

i use the accurites and not complaints at all. both ambient temps are the same hot end and cool end. cool end drops 2 deg at night. hot spot is right at 92 what my t stat probe controls and cool side floor is 78.

i am using 4 of them 2 in each tank and they are all within a deg of eachother.

No problems hear either.. Everything is pretty much spot on... There's a post in that other thread that has a couple links to cheaper and supposedly " better" temp/hygro..

But judging by the amount of ppl that say to run accurite and the amount of ppl that don't have any issues compared to the few that don't like them for one reason or another. I still see it as a perfectly viable option..

Im not one to go with the flow or be "normal" but on this one Im going to follow the crowd.. And stick with it

I have a bunch of accurites and I love them. I only wish I had more! I can't find them in my home depot anymore :( And they are hard to find online for a decent price. Grr!

Steffe they are like 12$ at the Walmart by me.. Found them in the hardware section of all places.. Between the door knobs and hinges

Yeah, we used to have them at home depot... but no longer. I don't really go to walmart... I have issues with that place.

Lol well I will go for u if u like.. Next time I need some asf I'll grab a accurite for trade? Lol

If I'm gonna get accurites from walmart I'm going to buy all that they have. No big deal :P I'm still looking at other alternatives. I have a couple exoterra thermometer/hygrometers. They work okay... I think the humidity gets screwed up though because I mist a lot.

I just wish I could buy them online!!

Maybe your the reason home depot doesn't have anymore left

Perhaps! The last time I saw them.. I bought them all. Hahaha
