Fantastic Thermostat November 24, 2009
GermHunter (North Carolina)
Great thermostat. Have a heat pump with emergency heat, so it dramatically limited the number of thermostats that would do the job. Took the old thermostat off the wall, mounted the new base with wiring, and performed the initial programming before 'snapping' the base and the CPU/Display together. A breeze and much better than the standard Honeywell thermostat it replaced. I recommend this thermostat highly and Amazon was $20 cheaper then purchasing at Lowes. Hard to believe, the HVAC company wanted $500 for this thermostat and the labor to install it. Took about 60 minutes to install and program. GO AMAZON!

Perfect! November 20, 2009
pilotsailor (Cape Cod MA)
Put these all over our house and on the last one, realized I could have saved over ten dollars each on the cost by getting it from Amazon with my Prime shipping deal and so local shopping is becoming less and less! Great deal and no trip to Home Depot! Love it!

Just what I wanted November 11, 2009
Crash and Burn (, USA)
I originally wanted this thermostat but started with the 6400 series because my wife was freezing in the cold weather and our old thermostat was broken.

I installed the 6400 first, and got it at Home Depot at the same price Amazon was offering for the 7500. I would have paid $100 for the 7500 there, but they were out of them.

I ordered this one after I installed the 6400 because I wanted the 7 day programmability, the furnace filter reminder, and I was hoping not to need batteries, but I have a two wire system, so there is no voltage available when the thermostat calls for heat. Thus, I need to have batteries in it.

The furnace wires were pre-tagged, so I didn't need the tags. They included mounting screws and dry wall anchors, but there's a stud behind the thermostat so I didn't need the anchors.

The way to get into the advanced menu is wrong in the instructions. They call for hitting another button, then holding the fan button down for 5 seconds. Other posters say just holding the fan button for 5 seconds is the way to go. I have it programmed for my system (heat only) so there's no reason to revisit it unless we change to a different type of system (furnace plus A/C, or heat pump, etc.) I like the 6400's advanced settings entry better.

I trusted the temperature read out in this thermostat, but my wife didn't so she put a thermometer on top of it, and finally admitted it was correct. For whatever reason, her bathroom is a couple degrees warmer than the hall, even though the bathroom opens onto the hall.

My thermostat's back light comes on as soon as push a button, but the function the button controls has a delay in it, so pushing a button to turn on the light doesn't change anything. I prefer to hit the schedule button because it might take me to the schedule page, but you have to work at it to change any schedule settings.

I thought it was worth $69 when I bought it, and now its come down $15.00. Wish I could have waited.

The furnace seems to run less now than with my now broken (pre-Honeywell thermostat). About the time I notice the furnace is on, it turns off.

Heat pump owners, be careful November 11, 2009
SpringAzure
I have a two-stage heat, one-stage cooling heat pump with auxiliary electrical heat. I replaced an old honeywell thermostat with this one (the LCD display had faded to invisibility, otherwise the old one worked fine).

Unfortunately, two of the wires were switched, resulting in the backup being always on, and the compressor not kicking in. I had to call in an HVAC person, and it was very expensive, to come out and fix it. Fortunately my system seems not to have been damaged by this. But my heating bill for the week before I got this problem fixed will probably be astronomical.

So, be careful which wire goes where. The colors don't always match up. Also, I would advise installing it during business hours so you can get honeywell customer service on the line if you need help.

I think that posters who found this to be easy to install probably don't have heat pump systems. That adds some complications.

Setting up the thermostat is a little tricky because there are a couple of settings for which the selections were not clear to me. Another reason to have customer service available.

Programming the schedule is a bit cumbersome, but I like that I can program the days of the week separately or in combination. For example, I have one schedule on M & W, and a different schedule on T & TH, so I can program the two similar days together.

I agree with other posters that the lack of a dedicated button for the backlight is annoying, but not a dealbreaker.

Two years old and going strong... September 24, 2009
C. Thayer (New Mexico)
I bought this unit in 2007 and the unit is still going strong. It was relatively easy to install and worked the first go around, with an older natural gas furnace from maybe 80's.

The temperature settings work well and kick on and off as expected. I would buy this unit again without hesitation. This unit only controls the furnace.
