While yes many electric thermometers have a rather not so appealing design, the model is really smart Moxx :-) Small but powerful, it makes a really good impression - modern and nice it decorates my nightstand. One can fairly large numbers (for such a small device) read well. One can still read minimum and maximum values. The comfort zone Smiley indicates in addition whether to ventilate or similar should (he looks sad - everything is OK, he smiles). I had taken in the order on the measurement accuracy (of course for home use) and the disclosures found 1 degree possible variation in temperature or 4% (at high humidity 5%) in the humidity. Many thermometers nothing stands (description on website or manual). In this respect, I expect to have bought a fairly accurate gauge. I compared it with our Maxim II thermo-hygrometer station of TFA and the values are very similar. So for me everything is alright. Schön - practical - good! I would buy it again.
