20160426_112219This digital thermometer has a very good looking color display and as soon as I put the batteries in, it lit up perfectly and projects a cool vibe on the counter in the kitchen area. The outside temperature is displayed first with the relative humidity below.  At a quick glance one can determine if they should wear flip flops or a winter jacket.  The frost icon will display when temperatures are below freezing.  The digital clock is clean and bright, while the day of the week is a little tough to read. The stand holds the unit upright and although I don’t need to know the phases of the moon, this still looks cool.

The indoor temperature works great and having the relative humidity for inside the RV is a bonus.  Excess moisture in your RV can cause mold to grow, wood to rot, and metallic parts to quickly corrode.  You want to keep your inside relative humidity between 30% and 50%, so this feature is really handy.

The packaging states that it requires 5 “AA” batteries, but it is really 2 “AA” and 3 “AAA” batteries.  The batteries are a backup power source to preserve records in the event of a power outage and the power adapter is recommended as the primary source to enjoy the full functionality of the product.   When traveling, just unplug the unit, place it in a safe location and when back on shore power just plug the unit back in.  All in all, the ACURITE Digital Thermometer performs well, looks great and at $44.99 it’s set at a good price point.
