Anyone use this Therm/Hygro before?

I checked a bunch of the sponsors sites, and couldn't find any that carry these instruments, so maybe this won't be against the rules about competition.
Have any of you used this particular instrument, and if so, how has it held up in the high humidity environs involved?http://www.indoorhealthproducts.com/810.htm
I'll be needing one very soon, so any reports would be most useful.
Thanks, Mycomyth

That one looks good plus the price is nice. I use the Taylor 1458 ala Hippie Chick. It costs more but holds up and is wireless. I can see fruiting chambers and incubator temps and RH from my desk.
Enjoy

Thanks, kanpan. I may break down and get that one when the system grows to require it. Right now it's big overkill.

The only digitals that can/should be placed in 90+% relative humidity are those designed for outdoor/damp/wet locations. The Taylor lasts because the main unit is kept in normal indoor conditions, and the remote humidity sensor that is designed for outdoor use is the only thing placed in the wet environment. Doesn't matter if it is wireless or wired, but the probe/sending unit must be manufactured for wet locations. If you can't afford a Taylor ($35), an Oregon Scientific ($30), or a Traceable ($63), then maybe this one at $4.95 will fit your budget. If you use a cheapo that isn't designed for outdoor use, though, you have to either extend the sensor (open the case de-solder the sensor, and add wire), or you have to remove the meter from the FC each time you use it. Extended exposure to 90%+ humidity will fry the electronics of ANY indoor hygrometer, no matter how much you paid for it.
