    I have a Hygro-Set and a Xikar (not sure which model) they both work fine for me. If I had to pick one I kind of like the Xikar better..... simpler to reset on the salt test.

    I have one in my bigger humi. I love it. It's easy as heck to set up and calibrate. Has temperature, and rh on it. The kicker is it's super tiny too so it gives you more room for cigars. Oh I forgot to mention lifetime warranty!!! Do I sound like a Xykar advertisement yet? haha, but really it's a nice little hygrometer.

    Not sure if it's the same model number as mine, but I love my Xikar hygro. Super easy to calibrate and not much bigger than the lid from a gallon of milk, which means more room for cigars in my trunkidor!!

    Did you find a deal on them bc I am in the market as well, especially if it is the same size and will replace the analog one I have in my humi

    I've yet to buy, Amazon wants 13 bucks each.

    $13 is a good deal..... you will really like it. Jim

    I have 2 of them as well, and they are great. $13 is a great price.

    That is a good deal. I think I paid about double that at a b&m. This makes me sad.

    The unit says this, as a selling point: "One step calibration button. Push and hold for 5 seconds and unit self-calibrates.". Calibrates to what? I hope it means if I throw it in the boveda calibration bag (75%rh), then hitting calibrate will make it 75, NOT what the unit "thinks" is correct.

    i calibrated mine in a ziplock bag with the salt slush in a bottle cap. Anywhere you can guarantee 75% humidity for a good long while then press and hold the button to set the Hygro to 75%. Really a lot simpler than the ones with the twist knob. I had problems calibrating them.

    This XIKAR is giving me fits. I threw it in the boveda 75% bag, waited one day and calibrated it. Left it in the bag and an hour later it's 73%.

    Mine usually varies a little.... that is within the +/- 2% range though..... close enough for me.
