Top 10 Hygrometers

Previously, such or similar devices hung in almost all apartments, but today they are already rarities. Finding a real retro hygrometer on the market is not only very difficult, but you will also have to pay a tidy sum for it. But there is an easier option. The Russian company Brig has been producing measuring instruments for over 50 years, and it was their hygrometers that adorned the walls of apartments and houses in the past. Of course, manufacturing techniques have changed. New materials and production methods have appeared, but the two most important aspects have remained unchanged: measurement accuracy and visual appeal.

This hygrometer is made in deliberate retro style. A minimum of plastic and foreign elements. Only natural wood and brass. This is how these devices were produced before, hence the rather high cost.Yes, the hygrometer is expensive compared to other models, but in this case it is more of an interior element than a measuring device, although this parameter is at the highest level.

Finns are famous for their love of baths and saunas. For them, this is a whole cult, and not a single house is complete without a steam room. And what a bath without a hygrometer, because maintaining the optimal level of humidity is one of the most important aspects, even more important than the temperature regime. Before us is the best hygrometer, which, in principle, can be hung on the wall in an apartment or house, the accuracy of its measurements will not change. But all its style and design say that it should hang in the steam room.

Design is one of the main aspects that this brand focuses on. His line of hygrometers come in a variety of form factors, and in most cases they are made of wood, with mechanical hands and a digital scale. These are analog models, and there are no tricky electronic modules here, hence the rather high price of the product. But judging by the reviews, this is the most purchased brand, with a lot of advantages, including durability and accuracy, which, in addition to design, is the main requirement for devices of this type.

A mechanical hygrometer implies the use of analog measurement methods, but in this case the manufacturer went for a trick, and despite the presence of arrows and a scale, we have an electronic device powered by two AAA batteries. In principle, this does not affect the performance of the device in any way, and it looks very attractive.In addition, it is not only a hygrometer, but also a thermometer, that is, a climate station in a compact form factor.

There are two scales: the first measures the temperature of the air, and the second the level of humidity. The manufacturer even equipped the scale with special marks showing the level of comfort for certain indications. Of course, this parameter is very conditional, but on the other hand, you get the opportunity to control the climate in the apartment as accurately as possible, taking into account two important factors at once: humidity and temperature. In addition, the device is very cheap, especially in comparison with the top models, and judging by the reviews, it does not cause any complaints from users.

A hygrometer is a complex device that, thanks to modern technology, managed to be placed in a compact case and even give it a design sophistication. The price range of such devices is very wide, and we have one of the most expensive models from a popular brand that produces various climate equipment. The cost of the hygrometer is due to its best quality characteristics, and judging by the reviews, the device is not only the most accurate, but also durable. In most models, the humidity level is measured up to 10 units, but here we see a scale with a large number of divisions, and the test results show that the arrow stops in the selected position for a reason.

With such a device, you will always know exactly the level of humidity in your apartment or house. In addition, it can be used in the bath and even on the street. The case of the hygrometer has a high level of protection, and as they say in the reviews, durable plastic does not deform when used in critical temperature conditions.This is the best choice, but with the only drawback - the relatively high cost.

To be completely accurate, then we have not a hygrometer, but a psychrometer. This is a special device that measures humidity on a temperature scale. We will not delve into formulas and technologies, but we will only say that this is the most accurate measurement method, and at the same time the most difficult. On the right side of the device there is even a special scale showing how humidity is calculated, and it is these tools that are used in warehouses and industries where the requirements for this parameter are very high.

You can use this device in an apartment or house, but it hardly makes any special sense. First, the hygrometer is not particularly attractive, and looks like an old-fashioned thermometer. Secondly, the complexity of measuring and reading data is too high and there are many devices on the market with a much simpler form factor. Be that as it may, this hygrometer could not fail to get into our rating, since in terms of measurement technology and in terms of the accuracy of the output data, this is the best device on the market. In addition, it is relatively cheap.

All hygrometers presented in our rating are distinguished by measurement accuracy. Electronic devices are also capable of displaying information with an accuracy of one unit, but this brand has gone even further and released a device that can measure air humidity with an accuracy of 0.01 units, and this is the best indicator among all similar devices. It is difficult to say whether such accuracy is needed in an ordinary house. In addition, there is a more convenient scale showing three degrees of comfort in the room. It is much more convenient to use it.

Of course, such an aspect as high accuracy is an advantage of the device, but in our rating it fell into such a disgraceful place, and the reason for this is the high cost. Yes, the engineers had to work hard to achieve such characteristics of their product, but let us recall that we have a household device, and not a specialized one, and it simply does not make sense to measure the humidity in an apartment with an accuracy of 0.01 units. But you will have to pay for this aspect, and a lot.

The level of humidity is important not only in apartments or houses, but also on farms. For example, it is very important to measure this parameter in greenhouses as well as incubators. The data needs to be monitored constantly, and if you use a device that measures data only around you, then this will not be very convenient. Before us is the best model for farmers.It is equipped with a long wire, at the end of which there is a thermocouple, which quickly reads the necessary readings and displays them on an electronic display.

Unlike similar devices, there is a long wire, and a high-precision thermocouple, which ensures fast reading of data. The device can be placed in the soil and measure its moisture content as well as temperature. But the lowest price can be considered a special advantage. This is the best price tag on the market, and judging by the reviews, this does not affect the quality of the product. The data is very accurate and the sensor responds as quickly as possible, and this product received not the most honorable place in the ranking only because of its narrow specialization.

The hygrometer measures the level of humidity directly around it. That is, it shows the level in which the device itself is located. If you need to measure the readings in another place, you need to move it, or initially look for a place to place it where necessary. In this case, there is no such need, since the device is equipped with a remote sensor. You hang it in one place, where it is convenient, and place the thermocouple where you want to measure the humidity. A similar function will be convenient for a bath, when the device is placed at the entrance or in the dressing room, and the humidity in the steam room is measured.

Unfortunately, this device has a wire of only one and a half meters in length, which is not very convenient. Yes, the function can often become useful, but you are unlikely to be able to place a hygrometer in one room of an apartment or house, and a thermocouple in another. Also, the presence of a signaling device can be attributed to the pluses.You set the hygrometer to a certain level of humidity, and if it falls or, on the contrary, rises too much, the device gives a signal about it. Another handy feature for use in baths and saunas.

The Russian company Steklopribor is a specialized manufacturer of special precision measuring instruments. Until recently, it produced devices for industrial complexes, but now it has also mastered the private market. Before us is a full-fledged climate station that measures several parameters at once, including air humidity. This is an electronic hygrometer with a lot of positive reviews, which is not surprising, given the company's experience in the production and development of high-precision measuring devices.

In addition to humidity, the hygrometer measures the temperature in the room, and is also equipped with a clock and an alarm clock. It has several degrees of customization, and can signal a change in climate in the apartment. Whether there is a need for this is hard to say. This function is more relevant for rooms with strict climatic standards than for a private house. In everyday life, this is an ordinary electronic clock with a backlight, which, in addition to time, shows the humidity in the room. Very comfortable and also at a very reasonable price.

A hygrometer is often one of the functions of a climate station, but in this case, the measurement of humidity is the main focus of the instrument. This is a compact device with a small display, and this is precisely the main advantage, although the manufacturer focuses on measurement accuracy.Of course, the device is accurate, but this can be said about any other model in our rating. But not everyone can boast of compactness.

This model is unlikely to become an interior decoration, but it measures several comfort factors at once, including temperature and humidity. The ratio of these criteria makes the climate in the apartment pleasant, and for convenience there is a special scale in the form of a smiley. If he smiles, the ratio of the two parameters is optimal, if he is sad, then some indicator is above or below the norm. A very convenient device for the home, which can be placed anywhere, and you do not need to look for a wall or shelf for it.
