Comments about Verdant Verdant V8-BB-7S Line Voltage Heat Only Thermostat - Programmable:

This is a great thermostat. Easy to install and configure. For landlords it would be great if the therm would have a programmable limit, say a maximum high setting of 74 deg instead of allowing the tenant to crank the heat to 91 deg. Otherwise great.

Comments about Verdant Verdant V8-BB-7S Line Voltage Heat Only Thermostat - Programmable:

Great product to use in rooms that are irregularly occupied (play rooms, home offices, etc) making a programmable thermostat ineffective.
Smaller rooms with baseboard heat will end up with a small temperature overshoot, but a factor of 10 better than conventional bi-metallic thermostats.
Easy to follow set-up and programming instructions.
Keep in mind the location of the thermostat so that motion in a hallway doesnt trigger the heat to turn on.
