Comments about White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Programmable 1 Heat/1 Cool Thermostat:
We like to control our heat during the day and night. We still have not figured out how to remove the factory program and use our own. It will hold at the temp that it is set to.

Great thermostat. Love all the settings. One suggestion - turn off the light so that it only goes on when you touch it.

Comments about White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Programmable 1 Heat/1 Cool Thermostat:
Unit just randomly selects a temperature at times which could be higher or lower than the programmed temperature. Twice it has just lost the programmed schedule. At times it will randomly just start heating/cooling with total disregard for the programmed temperature. The only way to stop it is to remove it and remove the batteries. This unit just flat sucks.

This thermostat is great. The blue face is nice to look at and the multiple setting allow to you add some flexibility to the time settings. I've only had it a few months but I am very happy with it.
I have two furnaces and I bought one for each.

Comments about White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Programmable 1 Heat/1 Cool Thermostat:
I definitely do not recommend this product. The box in which the product is packaged shows a beautiful, easy to read display. Same idea on the website. However, in reality, the display is very, very difficult to read. To get it to light up, you must touch a selection on the screen, such as temp up or down. (There is no neutral location to touch; a selection must be made.) However, since the screen is barely visible in its un-lighted state, it's very easy to hit a selection that you really didn't want to hit, which, in turn, may cause you to have to reprogram the darn thing or to otherwise figure out how to undo an unintended selection. Finally, even when the display is lighted, it's still very hard to read.

Comments about White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Programmable 1 Heat/1 Cool Thermostat:
Purchased this thermostat to replace another programmable one which I had installed several years ago. That one was purchased at a big box home improvement store and was by another well known T-stat brand so I thought I was getting a precise control. To put it short, that thermostat seemed to have a mind of it's own. By contrast, the White-Rodgers unit works perfectly. It keeps temperatures consistent and has alot of configuration options. And it looks great. My only complaint is that I didn't have a C-terminal wire so I'm only running on batteries which can't keep the blue backlight on continually. If you are looking for a programmable t-stat with alot of configuration options, this one is well worth the price. Mine is for a single stage cooling and heating(gas) system, but there is also a multi-stage model available for heat pump systems.

Comments about White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Programmable 1 Heat/1 Cool Thermostat:
The programmable thermostat is very easy to use with a very large screen and an attractive blue light as a backlight. Very to easy to use and install. I have 2 in my home. The auto fan is a great feature when the system is not running very often due to mild weather.

Comments about White-Rodgers 1F97-1277 Programmable 1 Heat/1 Cool Thermostat:
Once you figure out what system you have, it takes less than five minutes to replace an existing thermostat. Programing is very easy, it looks cool and the touch screen controls are the way to go. It is a little pricey, but as always you get what you pay for.
