I always get a giggle (simple mind, simple pleasures) when I see a display
rack of thermometers in one of the Big Box stores. One can almost be
assured that every one of the different brands (and sometimes even the
same model within the same brand) will have a different reading.
How to determine which of Ben's electronic hygrometers is most accurate ?
I'd say buy one of the $7 analogue hygrometers and calibrate it as per the
instructions in the CMHC blurb that I mentioned to Sacie.
And then compare its readings to that of the digital ones .
And then keep the analog unit and get rid of the electronic ones on Kijiji.
