Folks, Im considering trying out a couple Xikar Hygrometers. Im a tremendous fan of their cutters and lighters, so I expect their hygro will be top notch as well - but it never hurts to ask around. Anybody use these, and if so how do you like it?

I have a few, work fine to me.

I have 2 rectangle ones and 1 round one. I love em.

Ive had one for about 2 months. I reference it with my HygroSets which I trust explicitly. So far it has been as accurate as I could ask for with both Temp and RH. For the money, its a winner in my book.

Another thumbs up from me. I especially like the auto-calibrate feature, no messing with a dial or doing a +/- to get a final number, just do the normal calibration steps and press the button. Haven't had one off by more than a point or two yet.

I like mine, stuck it in a boveda calibration bag so I wouldn't mess up a salt test, pushed the button, I think it was like 2% off, and then stuck it in the humidor. I chose the Xikar because I could never get that humi-care dial to turn correctly.

I've got a rectangle and a round one. The round is getting close to a year on it and sometimes freaks out and reads something like 20% 210 degrees... ill give it a tap or wait a little while and it's fine. Maybe a battery issue. I would definitely buy another if i get a cooler or something. No problems from the rectangle one so far, had it about 7 mo.
