I installed this unit back in September and it has saves about 27% of our normal heating fuel usage compared to the simple mercury switch unit it replaced. if only I had taken the plunge a few years ago I could have saved $1000's just for spending $70. It is intuitive if you want the temp to be 69 at 7 am and it is currently 64 at 630 it will start up ahead of time so when the desired time hits it will be the temp you specified.Read Best Reviews of Honeywell RTH6400D 5-1-1-Day Programmable Thermostat Here
I installed this thermostat about six months ago and it works well. I found the installation straightforward and programming sequence intuitive. I especially like the large, well-lit display and the large programming buttons, none of which are hidden behind a panel which must be lifted for access. I also like that heating/cooling periods can be "skipped" so you can program two periods per day (wake/sleep) instead of having to program all four periods (wake/leave/return/sleep). The thermostat has both temporary temperature override (only affects current period) and vacation hold (maintains temperature setting until manually canceled). The unit is well designed and visually appealing.When reading previous reviews, I had some concerns that almost caused me to not order the product. Luckily, I found that none of these issues presented a problem for me. Here are some of the problems discussed in previous reviews, followed by my answers:
1) Issue: There is no dedicated backlight button and it is not possible to activate the backlight without pressing a button which will then alter thermostat programming. Answer: I found this *not* to be true, and just pressing the temperature up or down button once causes the backlight to come on without changing the temperature set point (just press the button more than once to change the set point). Surprisingly, I didn't see this feature mentioned in any of the product literature.
2) Issue: When setting the unit to "cool", the compressor will *never* come on until the compressor protection interval has expired (five minutes). Answer: I found this to be true only if the compressor has been on within the previous five minutes, so the AC will come on immediately as long as you didn't just turn it off (which is what I would expect).
3) Issue: There is no cycle or "swing" adjustment on the current Honeywell digital thermostats. They are set for a "swing" of plus or minus one degree. Answer: This is true, and there is no direct way to set the swing so you can reduce the amount of cycling of heating/cooling. That said, there is a "heating cycle rate" setting for different types of heating systems (Function 5 in System Setup). This is set to "gas or oil furnace less than 90% efficient" by default, and needs to be changed for electric, hot water, high-efficiency, steam or gravity heating systems. I believe many people will need to change this setting to match their heating system type. Also, if you find that your heating system continues to cycle too often when the thermostat is set to the correct heating system type, you may be able to reduce cycling by choosing a different setting (but only do so at your own risk).
Hope this helps.

I installed the thermostat today and it took me 4 hours. I had 2 additional wires that it didn't cover in the directions. The R wires and the jumper was a bit vague and I had an O & W wire for the same location on the unit. I had to trial and error it for a bit and when I did get it to work initially it came out as heat (not good when it was already 85 in the house here in central Florida). I finally swapped the O for the W and had to wait a few minutes for the unit to come on and make sure it was on for Cold. Finally it was. Having a heat pump makes installation trickier than the regular installs. If someone is having a problem with the heat pump install, keep the jumper in, red wire goes to the 2nd from the right, and use the O not the W wire.I'd give this product a five, but the instructions say to line up the wires with the colors, and if you do that, you won't get heat. For some reason, the Yellow wire goes in the "W" (for white) slot, and the directions don't tell you that. Had to have a heating guy come out and figure out what was wrong.Other than that, it's simple to use, much moreso than the 7 day thermostat from Honeywell, which takes an engineer to program (that model's only advantage is that it automatically keeps track of Daylight savings time, and contrary to its advertising, it still requires a battery). Programming on this model consists literally of pushing the same button again and again to cycle through your programming, and you need only hit the up/down buttons to change time and temp. Couldn't be easier. I've ordered two more.
Also, ontrary to what one reviewer said, pushing the button at night to get the backlight to turn on does NOT change the setting. You have to hit the button twice to do that. Night viewing is easy to read.

Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld HM700000RB 0.8 HP 8 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Vertical Air Com
- Easy to read outlet pressure gauge is now 2-in in diameter to make it easier to read
- Easy to adjust, the regulator knob is now 2-in in diameter and has soft touch points to make it easier and more comfortable to adjust the air pressure
- Easy to maintain, the new CH easy tank drain makes it easy and convenient to empty the water from inside your tank to help prevent corrosion
- The compressor's oil free pump requires no maintenance
The other day as I was assembling the hosing/fittings to run a line to a hose reel on the celing of my garage, I replaced the stock connector on the outlet valve of the compressor. Once the system was assembled I discovered that there was a leak and traced it back to the compressor. Upon inspection today, I find the outlet of the regulator valve has cracked and broken, and is not repairable.
I haven't decided what to do with this yet, as the power switch, outlet regulator, and outlet pressure meter are all one piece. Have not contacted customer service, and I expect I am past the warranty. Maybe an 8-gallon holding tank?
For what it is worth, all other parts are perfectly functional.

ETQ IN3500I 3,500 Watt 149.5cc 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator
Buy ETQ IN3500I 3,500 Watt 149.5cc 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator Now
Can't beat the price but you can definitely hear the difference btwn this product and high dollar high quality products. The Amazon ad says 60db noise level but when it arrived, the product specs say 60-65db. Remember each 3db DOUBLES the noise level! Heavy but the smooth handle and case make it not to difficult to lug around a short distance. Took many pulls to get it started the first time and it died the first time I started the camper 13500BTU A/C unit but the gen was in ECO mode (auto throttle mode). After that I run it in normal mode when I want to run the A/C. The RPMs oscillate in ECO mode under minimal load which does not inspire confidence in quality. Wondering how many seasons I'll get out of it.Update: 2 years later and it still works. I've mistreated it by leaving gas in it for long periods of time. I just pop the carb off, disassemble it, and do a thorough cleaning and she fires right back up again. some of the plastic covers tend to pop off occasionally when I'm moving it around but that doesn't effect the performance. I've upgraded my rating to 4 stars because of the reliability.I bought this unit to run my 15000 BTU AC in my travel trailer. Got the unit in and was very excited to give it a try. I was soon disapointed to find out that it would not start the AC. I had been told that a 3000 watt gen would do this but this unit would not no matter what I tried. I then got a friend to bring his 2800 watt unit of a different brand. It would start the AC just fine. I ended up buying a Yamaha 3000 watt which does the job great. I wish this little unit would have worked because it is half the weight of the yamaha. It is still a good little gen but just doesnt have the umph to start bigger items. It is also not load but it is a little noisy compared to the Yamaha.

EASTERN TOOL GENERATOR MODEL IN-3500II WAS IMMEDIATELY ATTRACTED TO THIS GENERATOR FOR ITS COMPACT SIZE, LOW NOISE ATTRIBUTES AND PRICE TAG. IT MIMICKS THE YAMAHA GENERATORS IN COLOR AND I'M CERTAIN, BY NO COINCIDENCE. I RECEIVED THIS ITEM QUITE QUICKLY FROM AMAZON AS IT IS A RATHER LARGE AND HEAVY PACKAGE. I READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ADDING GAS OR OIL AND BECAME VERY FAMILIAR WITH ITS RUNNING PROCESS.
AFTER ADDING GAS AND OIL I SPENT OVER 1 HOUR TRYING TO GET THIS GENERATOR RUNNING. IT WOULD START FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND THEN JUST QUIT. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE UNIT WAS GETTING TOO MUCH GAS OR NOT ENOUGH. I TRIED EVERY COMBINATION WITH THE CHOKE LEVER, FUEL COCK POSITIONS AND SO ON, WITH NO LUCK. IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO START THIS GENERATOR I ALSO NOTICED IN ITS POOR DESIGN THAT THE PULL STARTER RUBBED A 1" BURN INTO THE PLASTIC. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE DESIGN IS SUCH THAT YOU PULL THE STARTER CORD UPWARDS FROM A LATERAL POSITION ON THE UNIT AND THE STRING ALWAYS RUBS THE PLASTIC. AFTER ENOUGH FRICTION IT BURNS A RATHER LARGE LINE INTO THE PLASTIC. THE REMEDY FOR THIS WOULD BE TO START THIS DEVICE ON A TABLE OR DEVICE THAT PUTS THE GENERATOR AT LEVEL WITH YOUR ARM WHICH IS JUST PLAIN RIDICULOUS UNLESS YOUR RUNNING IT IN THE BED OF A TRUCK. THE STARTER CORD SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED SO THAT YOU PULL UPWARDS.
BY BIGGEST COMPLAINT HOWEVER HAS BEEN THE LACK OF ANY KIND OF RESPONSE FROM EASTERN TOOL COMPANY WHO BUILDS THIS "ALL SIZZLE BUT NO STEAK" GENERATOR AFTER SENDING 2 EMAILS CONCERNING THE STARTING PROBLEM. I DONT CARE SO MUCH THAT THIS UNIT HAS A RUNNING PROBLEM AS MUCH AS I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY WHO BUILT IT. I WILL TRY AGAIN ONE MORE TIME TO CONTACT THEM AND THEN I'LL JUST TAKE IT TO A SMALL ENGINE REPAIR SHOP. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND ITS OTHER PRODUCTS EITHER. MY ADVICE: SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A TIME TESTED AND PROVEN PRODUCT FROM YAMAHA, HONDA OR OTHER...
