We have had and still have digital hygrometer but I also wanted to try the non-digital and since I suspected that we had too little moisture in the air in the house in the winter, I bought two of these. Compared to digital hygrometer I get the same readings who rumreitet in the measurements on variations of 3%, maybe you should invest some EURO's more - but I ask myself what is this good for your other household needs. In the end I was just confirming what I already thought. In our semi-detached house with passive ventilation on the window frame (triple glazed) we had 40% humidity at 22 ° C on the ground floor, in the children's rooms in the first floor of 50% at 20 ° C and with us in the bedroom under the roof 58% at 19 ° C. The air is so pure bottom, absorbs moisture and increases in house high and is vented back in the roof. All the best!
