Hygrometer

I'm looking for a good hygrometer online; only if accepting paypal. I found many selections to choose from but most of them don't have alot of information.
I'm looking for an accurate, wireless small digital hygrometer that can exceed up to 99% humidity easily. Looking for one around $15-$30. I was hoping if any of yall have some good sites to look at or want to share where you bought yours; just need some recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Go to a cigar store they have the best hygrometers(But go to a really expensive cigar store hygrometers there should be 30-60 that is the best)

I am planning on getting this one myself, 20 bucks
i probably wouldnt get that if i were you, it says it only operates up to 95% humidity.

Looks nice, is there any other (possibly Taylor brand) that is a little cheaper? I just want to go cheap and efficient first; if not then I'll just buy a more expensive one.

Out of all the hygrometers i have bought (about 6 or 7) every one that was cheap crapped out within a few months.Hippiechick i believe uses this hygrometer and so does agar since he was the one to give me the link .now i have used this in my greenhouse for about 6 months maybe 7 straight with out removing it once at a constant 100% humidity and it still lives lol.rr swears by analog hygrometers that are cheap that you can get at expensive cigar shops instead of the digital ones but i dont know i have never used one of those.

Does anyone just go without a hygrometer? If you're only doing PF cakes can you just keep the FC humidity as high as possible without knowing the actual RH percentage?
I bought a combination analog thermometer/hygrometer/barometer but ended up taking it back because I didn't trust the readings... the barometer didn't move from 97 (!) kpa and the temperature always seemed higher than actual.
I'm not keen on ordering one online in case it is bunk too, but I suppose there isn't much sense in trying to get away without one... right?

PayPal Debit Card is the answer to this issue- you can pay by PayPal to anybody that takes Master Card. Recommended.

Yes. I actually just keep a greenhouse running with a cool mist on 100% of the time, and perlite to take care of the water at the bottom, as well on each shelf. My monotubs have a cool mist running 24/7, split off with a "T" PVC joint, one humidifier to two tubs.
I also mist 8-9 times daily. It does the trick, I get large fruits and see no signs of cracking/warting that come from poor humidity.
