 FIVE STARS July 25, 2010

My live-in girlfriends seems to think that the house should be 30 degrees inside in the summer. The constant thermostat battle has just been won by me thanks to this awesome thermostat by LUX and it's lock-out feature. I am now in control of the temp and she can't over-ride it. It has many great features, was easy to install, and easier to program. Very clear instructions etc. I've recommended this to my dad and 4 or 5 friends and would recommend it to anyone.
Good thermostat, good price July 20, 2010

My wife and I recently moved into our first house and found the existing thermostat to be from the fifties. After doing some research, mainly on Amazon I found this one. I am not mechanically inclined but found the directions helpful and easy to understand. In less than a half hour it was on my wall and working well. After two weeks my wife and I feel it works great and has a nice display. If you're not sure which thermostat to buy, look no further. This is a good thermostat at a good price!
 Works fine, mostly positive features only 2 negative (for me) June 25, 2010

It works well and keeps a nice steady temperature. Would like to be able to see
the current setting or target temperature without having to push the button, but that is only a mild irration. To solve the other problem (difficulty seeing the
display) is solved by having it mounted at eye level or slightly below. My husband and I were trying to learn how to set features (side by side). He had no problem following the instructions, but I could not see any display. We finally solved the mystery....you can't read the display from below. The angle I was viewing from (below) made it impossible the read the display. Work of advice, place your unit at eye level or below so you can look directly at or it or slightly down. Enjoy this unit, I do.

I installed the Lux TX1500E Programmable Thermostat in my house a few weeks ago and it was straightforward to install, reasonably priced and had all the features I wanted. Installation was especially easy because the mounting slots on the Lux aligned with existing wall holes from my old thermostat. The package even included small lettered & numbered flags so I could tag existing wires (sticker 'W' on wire attached to terminal 'W,' etc.) before removing the old thermostat!
The TX1500E provides 5/1/1 (Mon-Fri/Sat/Sun) and 'Special' modes, each of which allows temperature programming changes at four different times. 'Special' mode lets you switch over to a range of settings that you've programmed for when you want to quickly override daily settings. I like the notched circle molded into the door which prevents the door from closing in 'Special' mode, a passive reminder which lessens the chance of you accidentally leaving it there long-term.
I am quite pleased with this thermostat and recommend it to anyone who wants a programmable thermostat with a solid, basic feature set. Choose a different model if you want to set Mon-Fri individually, or switch automatically between 'Cool' and 'Heat' modes: I have no need for either feature and appreciate the programming simplicity of this model.
Installation tips:
* The new thermostat - as did the existing one - rocked a bit on the wall when I pushed buttons. I felt this would eventually work the drywall screw anchors loose so I stuck two strip of thin foam on the back of the base - horizontally above and below the screws - before final installation: it now feels nice and tight on the wall!
* Internal clearance is tight so take extra care when routing wires and stuffing excess back into the wall or it's a pain snapping the main unit into the base. This was probably the most time-consuming stage of the installation.

And a good price too. Very easy to program and it looks like programs will not be lost when we change batteries. Especially like the illuminated display at night.
