How accurate is a home hygrometer?
What is the Most Accurate Hygrometer? Of all the humidity monitors we analyzed, the Caliber 4R and Caliber IV are the most accurate hygrometer devices. They read within ±1% RH, and the humidity range is 20-90%.
Where should I place my digital hygrometer?
Locate your hygrometer in a living area away from the moisture produced by the kitchen or a bathroom. For maximum heating effectiveness and comfort, humidity levels should be between 30% and 50%.
How accurate are cheap digital hygrometers?
Cheap mechanical hygrometers and cheap electronic hygrometers are supposed be accurate within +/-7%.
What should indoor humidity be?
between 30-50%
The ideal relative humidity for health and comfort is somewhere between 30-50% humidity, according to the Mayo Clinic. This means that the air holds between 30-50% of the maximum amount of moisture it can contain.

Which is better analog or digital hygrometer?
First, digital hygrometers use modern technology. Analog sensors are used to measure the humidity in the air and this is then read out on a digital gauge. This makes them very easy to read, as well as being very accurate. These are electronic devices and they are usually not as elegant as their analog brethren are.
How long do digital hygrometers last?
How long does a hygrometer last? Some hygrometers are known to have fluctuations in accuracy over time. It is best to test a hygrometer every 6 months to maintain accurate readings. The humidity in your humidor should be kept between 68 and 72 percent to keep your cigars fresh.
