10 best hygrometers

For a comfortable stay in the house or apartment, you must monitor the level of relative humidity. This indicator is also important when growing indoor plants, creating the necessary microclimate in the bath or greenhouse. The easiest way to control the humidity of the air with a hygrometer. There is a wide range of devices on the domestic market; they differ in design, cost, and functionality. In order to choose a suitable hygrometer for certain conditions of the premises, you should study the recommendations of experts.

How to choose a quality hygrometer

1. Hygrometer Constructions. Even from school, Russian children are familiar with psychrometric type devices. They are highly accurate, but difficult to determine the humidity. Mechanical devices look as simple as possible. They are autonomous in their work, and it is convenient to take readings from the visual dial. Multi-functional electronic hygrometers differ. Many of them allow you to measure the temperature, some are equipped with a clock. But the operation of such devices depends on the battery or battery.
2. Measuring range. In living rooms, the humidity level drops significantly in the winter season, when the heating is turned on. To monitor the microclimate in the nursery or bedroom, you can use the device, which operates in the range of 20-70%. Such a device is suitable for growing indoor plants. But in wet areas (baths, saunas, basements) a hygrometer with a scale of up to 100% is required.
3. Accuracy. Relative humidity meters are accurate measurement. For a simple inhabitant, you can recommend a hygrometer with a division of up to 2-3%. This may be a conventional mechanical device. When the accuracy of measurements is important, it is better to choose a model with a division price of 1%. This level can provide an electronic device or psychrometer.
4. Design. Many potential buyers want to choose not only a functional device, but also a stylish accessory that will fit into the interior of the room. For the bath often choose a model with wood or stone. In the living room will look harmoniously plastic products, and for children the ideal option would be a design in the form of a toy.

We selected 10 best hygrometers in our review. All of them are implemented in the trading network of our country. The rating was made taking into account the opinion of the expert community and reviews of Russian consumers.

The best electronic hygrometers for the apartment

The maximum functionality and visibility have electronic hygrometers for living rooms. Manufacturers additionally equip them with internal and external thermometers, clocks, internal memory. Experts identified several high-quality models.

Testo 608-H1

Rating: 4.9

The electronic hygrometer Testo 608-H1 will help to monitor the microclimate in the room of the apartment or house. The German device allows you to control not only the level of humidity in the range of 10-95%, but also the temperature (0 ... + 50 ° С).The device is notable for autonomous operation; a crown-type battery is used as a current source. Due to this, it is possible to monitor humidity and temperature in different rooms. In the upper part of the liquid crystal display, information on humidity is displayed in large digits, the temperature is indicated in a smaller font, but the readings are sufficiently distinct to be seen from afar. Experts gave the model first place in our rating.

High accuracy of measurement and a large screen are noted by users. They consider the only disadvantage of a hygrometer to be a high price.

BRESSER 923261 3775

Rating: 4.8

The BRESSER 923261 hygrometer is a multifunctional home appliance. It gives residents of a house or an apartment information about the humidity of the air in the room and outside, as well as the temperature level inside and outside the house. As a current source, batteries are used, they remain operable both at high (+ 60 ° C) and at low (-20 ° C) temperature. The weather station is equipped with wireless external sensors that detect temperature and humidity outside the room. The range is 30 m. Included with the hygrometer is 3 sensors.

Not immediately, users can understand the weather station readings. The top three lines show the temperature and humidity from three sensors, and the bottom line is the microclimate in the room. The model takes the second place in our rating.

WENDOX W2075-S

Rating: 4.7

Another set of useful functions is available in the WENDOX W2075-S hygrometer. The indoor unit determines the temperature and humidity only inside the house. In addition, it is equipped with a clock and alarm clock. The manufacturer has provided several options for installation, wall and desktop. Experts highly appreciated the presence of internal memory in the device. Thanks to this option, it is possible to save readings for a certain period of time. The weather station's screen looks nice, all numbers are clearly visible on a blue background. The air temperature is indicated above and the humidity below. And they have the same font.

The hygrometer is located on the third line of the rating, since it is quite rare while in the stores of the country.

Boneco X200

Rating: 4.6

All the advantages of electronic devices has a digital hygrometer Boneco X200. The model is designed to measure the relative humidity of air in rooms and air temperature. Information is transmitted to the user through the LCD display, where information on the temperature is indicated above, and humidity on the bottom. The device has a small (by volume) memory, it stores only the minimum and maximum values. Experts note the high accuracy of the device, the possibility of wall mounting or desktop installation.

Users are satisfied with the readable display, large display, lightning reaction to changing climatic conditions. But the lack of illumination will be a clear disadvantage when you want to take readings in the dark.

Ramili Baby ET1003 1490

Rating: 4.5

A worthy place in our ranking was also taken by Ramili Baby ET1003, a children's hygrometer. The British developer has taken care of ease of use, high measurement accuracy and affordability. Along with the usual digital values, a cute baby face appears on the display. The character gives a charming smile with a temperature range of 18 ... 26 ° C and a relative humidity of 40 ... 60%.Otherwise, the animated image begins to grimace or cry. Since the range of measured temperatures is 0 ... 50 ° C, it is not always possible to make measurements on a balcony in winter.

Young moms are pleased with the ease of operation of the hygrometer and high measurement accuracy. Among the disadvantages there is a lack of illumination, a narrow range of operating temperature.

The best mechanical hygrometers

Mechanical hygrometers have an affordable price and autonomy. These devices can not boast of a high sensitivity to climate change and measurement accuracy. Experts have appreciated the properties of the following models.
