Every home should have the best hygrometer you can find on the market.
In fact, I would go to say that every home should have the best indoor hygrometer but also the best one for outdoor too.
So, what is a hygrometer? A hygrometer is an instrument that is used to measure the humidity or moisture content in the air. These devices can be used either indoors or outdoors and gather data about the moisture content exclusively.
Relative humidity of the air is usually expressed in a percentage and is measured on a scale of 0 to 100, the higher number corresponds to the higher moisture content in the air.
ThermoPro TP50 Best Hygrometer Review
I like the function that shows visually with a little smiley face, whether the humidity is dry, comfortable, or wet. This unit is wireless and uses 1 AAA battery (which is included).
The mounting hardware on the back is magnetic so you can stick it in many handy places.
I love the 5-year warranty that is included. You know a company trusts its products when it has a long warranty like that!

Buying Guide – How to find the best hygrometer for your needs.
There are 2 types of hygrometers: Resistive and Capacitive.
How Do They Work? Compact and accurate, these modern hygrometers can be placed anywhere for precise measurement of the humidity. Most of the modern hygrometers use electronic sensors that are much more accurate than their traditional counterparts.
The resistive hygrometers use polymer membranes that record changes in the conductivity when water or moisture is absorbed. On the other hand, the capacitive hygrometers measure the moisture content by recording changes in the water present in the air by using electrical signals between 2 plates.
What’s the Fuss About? The hygrometers have found its applications in many industries. From weather forecasting to museums, these devices are used almost everywhere. Meteorologists use the hygrometer for daily weather reporting and in domestic uses, hygrometers are used to know the humidity level at your house and adjust the dehumidifier accordingly when it gets too stuffy.
For museums, it is pivotal to maintain the right temperature and humidity to preserve the documents, books, artifacts and more.
Here’s How to Buy Them: If you are planning to buy a hygrometer, here’s what you should be looking at.
Accuracy and Speed of Response: Most hand-held hygrometers are affordable and are 3 to 5% accurate and takes 10 to 15 minutes to accurately record the humidity level.
Humidity sensors are usually not durable and it is advisable to buy sensors with a replaceable probe. If you are using a hygrometer in critical fields, say in a museum, it is important to have a spare probe handy so that you don’t have to send the entire unit to the servicemen.
Simplicity: Use a hygrometer that is simple to operate and understand. The symbols and features should be understood by a layman.
Storing Data: This depends upon your applications from the hygrometer. If you are using it for a high-grade commercial application, you should select the one that can log data over time that can be downloaded later.
Technology: The newest addition to the family of hygrometer is the wireless hygrometer that can measure the humidity level quickly since they are in equilibrium with temperature and humidity.
