Title: Cheap. You get what you pay for.
Review: I picked up this 5/2 Honeywell thermostat because it was about $10 cheaper than a White Rogers version (that I had at my old house and liked). I figured, what could be so different? Well, a lot.1)the cover is not hinged, so for 'fiddlers' who like to change settings, it's a total pain to pop it open and get inside to adjust programs. You are able to adjust temperature temporarily without opening the Honeywell cover, but it eventually reverts to the program. .2) no backlight3) battery consumption, for some reason, is really high. My first set of fresh duracell AA's went out after 6 months4) non-intuitive displayI could provide a lot more detail but the bottom line is if you're the type of person who is constantly checking your thermostat and likes to adjust programs frequently, look elsewhere. I don't know the model number but there's a 5/2 White Rogers with a swing down cover that works great - spend the extra $10 on that one.
