Hi all,

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Honeywell 8600, 8601, &
8602 series of programmable thermostats ??? On their website it gives the same
description for all 3 series. My heating system is oil hot water baseboard.

Functionally, they are identical. The difference is in their power
supply - one is battery-powered, one is hard-wired, and one is power-
stealing.

Also, I believe they have been discontinued by Honeywell.

has a comparison chart. Note that I know nothing about the vendor - I
simply found them by searching Google.
