Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these and a Lux ELV4 about 1 year ago, and have spent time with each.
Pros:
- Great display. I can read the display in dim light with no glasses (my eyes have standard age-related long-arm syndrome).
Cons:
- This Aube controller has only 2 temp settings as far as I can figure out, demarcated by moon & sun. CONTROLLERS MUST HAVE 3 SETTINGS! (1) Morning/evening warm, (2) nightime cool, (3) daytime way cool.
- The relay clicks when it goes on and off, quietly, but loud enough to wake up my wife. (I imagine the relay will last longer with its swift switching.)
- To disable heating, as in summer or warmer days, take face plate off, slide switch to standby, but then the display is blank and the temperature is not displayed. Why oh why did they design it this way? I think it is wrong not to show the temperature all of the time, as the LUX ELV4 does.
The much lower cost Lux ELV4 has 3 temp settings :-), but I can not read the tiny LCD display even with my reading glasses and room lights on, the icons are miniscule. The Lux is quieter switching. The Lux has a big air gap between it and the wall such that I can see into the electrical box, ugly, will not cover the hole in the drywall if drywall cut-out is only 3/8ths larger than the box. The Lux has a nice slide switch on the side to disable heat for warm days & summer, but the display stays on.
Neither this Aube nor the Lux quite do it, I will be looking at other models for further purchases.
I want the Lux features with the Aube display.
