In the hunt for programmable thermostats that are easy to install and operate, we came across the Honeywell Vision Pro 8000 Digital Thermostat. The first thing that caught our attention was the large digital display, which makes it easy to read and use. Maybe it's my age, but I hate having to squint at a thermostat to figure out what the temperature is in my home. This programmable thermostat is really easy to read.

Of course, a large display doesn't make the Honeywell a great thermostat. The Vision Pro 8000 is a 7-day programmable thermostat. You get multiple hold options that allow you to easily override any program. And it even comes with a humidity gauge. Here are the key features:

  • Effortless, Menu-Driven Programming - Simplifies programming by responding to your choices
  • 7-Day Programming - Allows separate programming for each day
  • Large, Clear Backlit Digital Display - Easy-to-read in various lighting conditions
  • Change/Check Reminders - Let you know when to service or replace filters, batteries, etc.
  • Energy Savings - Program to save up to 33% on annual heating and cooling costs (If used as directed. Savings may vary depending on geographic region and usage)
  • Precise Comfort Control - Maintains consistent comfort to the highest level of accuracy
  • Built-In Humidity Sensor - Displays current humidity and select models allows you to control dehumidification
  • Real-Time Clock - Keeps time during power failures and automatically updates for daylight savings
  • Multiple HOLD Options - Allows you to override the program schedule as desired, with temporary and vacation hold settings.
  • Model Numbers - TH8110U1003, TH8320U1008, TH8321U1006
  • 5-Year Warranty

There's one last feature to keep in mind. Sometimes we want the thermostat somewhere convenient, but the temperature gauge some place else. With the Honeywell Vision Pro 8000, you can buy an indoor sensor to place where you want the temperature reading to occur. The sensor communicates the temerature to the thermostat, and frees you up to place the programmable thermostat in a more convenient location in your home.

Reviews

This would be a great thermostat if it lasted. I have just purchased my third in 3 years hoping my luck will change. The touch screen keeps losing sensitivity to the point that the unit is unusable.

Had the thermostat professionally install by my electrician back in May. It works well; very easy to use. You can adjust temperature up or down with a simple touch if you need to.

I put this in at the recommendation of my brother who is in the HVAC business. They service multi-million dollar homes & this is the thermostat that is used in most of them to keep their homes comfortable with minimal adjustment. you can just set this thing up and forget about it. It has 4 different settings for each day of the week, for heat and cool.(Wake, Leave, Home, Sleep) My old one had settings for weekdays and weekends only which is a problem if you weekends don't always fall on Saturday and Sunday. the only time I need to adjust this one is when the weather changes drastically & I switch to heat or cool. It was simple to install and set up. the mounting holes lined up perfectly with the one I replaced so no new holes were needed.

It is very easy to install. It replaced a 15 yr old Honeywell. I always use a great thermostat to spend my MONEY...!!

Of course, we all know that real men don't need heat, and even if you do, you ought to be fine with a lever, a spring, and a vial of mercury. So I felt a little silly ordering this. But once I got over that, I realized that this is a truly great thermostat. Here's why: 1: It's confusing - anything except a temporary override requires several screens and sequences of commands. It's enough to deter even the most determined women, who are undoubtedly trying to make the place into some kind of "heat nest". 2: It's lockable! That's right, you can lock everyone out from modifying the thermostat! And even if you don't want to go that far, you can set limits on what the temperature can be set to. Awesome! 3: And this is the best one of all.... You can program it to show a different temperature than the actual temperature!!! For obvious reasons, this is the best feature ever built into any thermostat since the dawn of time. It takes some digging to get through the manuals to figure out how to do it, but it's worth it. Here's how a conversation about an actual temperature of 68 degrees might go: Woman: "Honey, it's awfully cold in here, can we turn up the heat?" Man: "It's already 85 degrees in here." Woman: "It can't be... (gets up and checks thermostat)... Hmmph, I guess you're right." Man: "Maybe you should take some more thyroid medicine. And while you're up, make me a sandwich." Ask yourself - does it really get any better than that? As much as I love this thermostat, it could be improved by having some sort of fingerprint scanner, or retina ID device on it, allowing only certain people access to the thermostat. But since no competing models yet offer this feature, this is about as good as it gets for keeping YOUR castle at YOUR temperature.
