I can't comment on the other brands, but I have three LUX programable
units that have failed this season. The failure mechanism is a design
error/cost reduction choice, so I'd expect that they all will fail in time.

I'm following this thread closely since I now need three new (reliable)
thermostats.

I have used Hunter, White-Rodgers, and LUX. They all worked without problem, but the
old Hunter (I think thats the name) was a chore to program, but did give most options
like recording on time and filter change. The White-Rodgers does give many options, and
does not give a broad range of temperature differentials. I don't know if its smart like
some of the Honneywells with Fuzzy logic. My main problem, none of the ones
I have had has a light that STAYS ON. What a pain.
