Test that before you use it. I had one--it was highly inaccurate and no good for incubating, but you'll have to calibrate the hygro and see if you can confirm how accurate or not that unit is.

you can return it and get full price back and then buy the discounted one:cd

At least it works. I bought a different kind at Walmart and it totally did not work. $10 piece of do-do.

(added later after looking at the pictures again) Wait, I realize that IS the POC I bought. Actually, I feel better if it really was only 6 bucks.... No wonder it's on sale.

I agree!! With mine, temps were right but humidity was reading alot lower than it actually was. Calibrate!!

Mine always read 20% humidity, no matter what, LOL. The temp even on occasion said 120*. I finally got an actual incubator thermometer that is very accurate and use a separate hygrometer.

Built a homemade bator. Thought it was my thermostat and spent another $25 to replace my thermostat that was perfectally ok.
This thermometer is garbage. Literally.
