 Unique Concept, Decent UI, Perfect for the Forgetful October 15, 2009
Nathan Payne (Washington, DC)
I have pretty rough allergies, I am very forgetful, and I want to customize everything. This thermostat fit the bill--it allows 7 days of unique programming--it reminds me to replace the air filter--and it has a fan only cycle that keeps the temperature of your home stable and the air pure. Couple that with a relatively clean design (I would prefer the buttons to be white plastic...to be a bit more subtile...notwithstanding; nothing is perfect). The overall design is simple, clutter free, and when compared to other products in this category easy to set. Couple that with the ability to have the fan run without the heat to keep the air clean and the temperature uniform this is an excellent product.
Great programable thermostat - allows you to program fan as well. August 2, 2009
William R. Johnston (Boston, MA, USA)
I bought this thermostat to replace a much older programable thermostat that was already installed when I bought my condo. I wanted a thermostat that I could program the fan as well as the heat and the A/C. As I have two floors, heat tends to rise to the top, so in the top floor is much warmer than the first. I use the fan to help level out this, bringing warm air down in the winter and cool air up in the summer. It also like how the fan being on allows the air to circulate through the HVAC filter, helping reduce dust and pollen, both of which I am allergic to.
Wiring the thermostat was no problem, as you simply note how the old thermostat is wired and wire this one the same. It comes with wire labels, to help keep track of what wire goes to what post while the old thermostat is off.
The unit is incredibly easy to set up. It has four settings per day (morn, day, eve, night), and allows you to override the programmed setting by raising or lowering the temperature. The override will stay in effect until the next programed time period. It also has a vacation hold, which lets you hold the temperature until your unhold it, allowing you to set it to a higher or lower temperature while you are gone for extended time periods.
The majority of the controls are under the lower panel (see Lux's website for a picture of the opened unit, as well as a PDF of the manual, which I found useful to review before I bought). There are three buttons outside of the panel, which allows to you raise and lower the temperature, as well as turn on the back lighting. My unit makes a faint high pitched noise while backlit, similar to old indiglo watches. The buttons are not back lit, which would have been a nice touch if they were, but we have a light switch right below the unit. The buttons have a click to them as they are pushed, but have to be pushed a bit harder to actually make a change - this seemed like a larger problem than it really is while I still had the unit detached from the wall.
The unit is smaller than my older unit. I had to repaint some of the wall behind it, as the older unit left marks on the wall being larger than this unit. The unit is 3" high by 5.25" wide (Amazon lists the packaging dimensions, not the unit's dimensions).

Ultimate thermostat May 27, 2009
E. Windel (London, ON Canada)

This unit does everything you might ask for to control a fan driven heating system. I ordered the unit because it provides the 'Clean' cycle which runs the furnace fan for a specified percentage of each 20 minute period. Although the stated purpose is to further clean the air, it serves to even the temperature throughout the house. I had previously run the fan continuously to achieve this. I am now getting as good results using the fan 35% of the time. I estimate the annual savings in electricity to be at least $200 per year, so the unit has a 3 to 4 month payback of the purchase price and all savings from then on.

We searched for a thermostat that was fully programmable (7 days) including running the fan w/out heat or AC. This Lux product has all that we needed, and it was easy to install. The installation and programming aides on the website were terrific help, too. We highly recommend this product.
works with water heating furnace January 13, 2009
John Smith (Chicago, IL USA)
This thermostat replaced an Honywell thermostat on a water heating system.
Honeywell used to give me all sorts of problems, but this termostat works like a charm. Probably most important feature is that you can set minimum length of time to run. Programming was easy.
