Review: Great upgrade and easy to program! - I am very satisfied with this 7-day programmable thermostat. The touchscreen interface is highly responsive and easy to navigate. Programming different schedules for weekdays and weekends is simple and has drastically helped lower my monthly energy bills. The display is bright and easy to read, even in low light. Installation was also very straightforward with the included instructions. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, non-smart programmable thermostat! Review: A pleasant surprise - I read every single review before buying this thermostat. The reviews made the smoke come out of my ears. A majority of buyers like this product. But a significant minority didn't. Among the complaints I noted: -- 1. You need to touch a button on the touchscreen to activate the back light, but this also activates whatever button you touch, whether you wanted to do that or not -- 2. Programming is indirect; you must use -- and therefore memorize, or use the manual as a reference for -- numerical codes to perform various functions. -- 3. The touchscreen is not responsive. -- 4. The touchscreen back light does not stay on for a sufficiently long period of time. -- 5. If left in default mode, the thermostat will start an hour or two early before the time programmed for a specified temperature to be reached. One thing to keep in mind is that the copious reviews of this popular product go back a good many years. In the interim, Honeywell may have upgraded the software or firmware, so that different reviewers often seem like they are talking about entirely different products. As a prelude, a note about me: I can't figure out most of the features on my non-smart cellphone. Enough said. Despite the fact that installation looks simple for do-it-yourselfers, I am of the pay-a-pro-to-do-it tribe. I was displeased to see that the old Honeywell vertically oriented manual thermostat that this new baby was replacing left unsightly marks on the wall not entirely covered by this new, horizontally oriented thermostat. If this sounds like you, be prepared. I must say that the very large number of negative reviews put me in a fearful state of mind. But this Honeywell worked exactly as described. So let me address the negative comments that caused me so much pre-purchase grief: 1. The touch of the touchscreen is my favorite feature on this thermostat. My primary experience with touchscreens is in grocery stores and bank ATMs. You have to give those touchscreen buttons a good assertive push. Not so with this Honeywell touchscreen. The merest touch sparks it to life. It's stupidly satisfying. Nothing other than the back light is activated by touching a button that activates the touch screen. You need to touch any button again to get that button to do what it is programmed to do. They are two distinct movements. 2. Numerical codes no longer exist. Programming is straightforward. It isn't intuitive in the least. You are presented with clearly labeled buttons. 3. This model thermostat has been around for several years. Perhaps its parts were upgraded without fanfare. But this is honestly the most responsive touch screen I have ever used. I actually only have to touch it, as opposed to the aggressive finger jabs ATM machines force me to use. Here, it's light-light touch-touch-done in about 5 seconds. You actually experience a ridiculous moment of pleasure that finally something works properly. 4. I'm sorry, I was too lazy to time it (I do have a life), but the touch screen light seems to stay on a good amount of time. I programmed an entire week day by day with no problem, although admittedly it wasn't in the dead of night, when some people apparently program their thermostats. Okay, I felt guilty, so I programmed the thing in pitch blackness. Well, except for the back light. No problemo. I will need to think of some totally dark situations when my thermostat needs programming so I can tax this cool feature to the limit, as we men are programmed to do. 5. If you leave this thermostat in default mode, if you specify that you want the house to be 72 degrees at 7 am, it may very well start your cooling system an hour or two earlier. From the manufacturer's perspective, this is a prime selling point of this thermostat: that it knows to start cooling your place earlier than you indicated to get the temperature to the degree that you indicated by the indicated time. This is actually not a defect. It's the single biggest feature of this device. If you don't like automation, you can turn it off. (Keep in mind that if you specify 72 degrees at 7 am, and the thermostat turns on your air conditioner at 7 am, your place may be 10 degrees hotter, which will take longer to achieve your desired temperature. If you have a good commute to work and are on a stopwatch from the moment you wake till the moment you leave, that's a factor.) If you don't know how to turn off this feature, Honeywell has very good technical support. There is no such thing as a non-ugly thermostat. This is pretty ugly too. Compared to the others, though, it's a lot less ugly. Life is a compromise. ## Features - Large touchscreen display makes it easy to set your preferred temperature or set a weekly schedule for automated adjustments. - Set home and away temperatures to help save energy when you're not home. Temporary and permanent hold settings are also available for extended absences from home. - 7-Day menu-driven programming with 4 periods per day. - Backlit touchscreen display shows current room temperature and set point temperature simultaneously. - Simple and straight forward to install and use. The thermostat also has a real-time clock so it will automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time. - Smart Response Technology allows the thermostat to learn how long the furnace and air conditioner take to reach programmed temperature settings, so you're comfortable at the time you expect. - To protect the system and your compressor from damage, this thermostat contains a setting that forces the compressor to wait a few minutes before restarting. If activated during installation, the screen will also display an alert when it's time to replace your filter and alert you of low batteries. - Compatible with- single stage heating and cooling, multistage heating and cooling, heating only, cooling only, furnace (warm air), central air conditioning, heat pump without auxiliary heat, heat pump with auxiliary heat, hot water, steam or gravity, 750 millivolt, and gas fireplaces. - Compatible with heating and cooling plus heat pump systems. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001FWZ7IW | | Additional Features | Smart Response Technology, Touchscreen | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,720 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #34 in Home Programmable Thermostats | | Brand | Honeywell Home | | Brand Name | Honeywell Home | | Color | White | | Connectivity Protocol | BACnet MS/TP | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Touch | | Controller Type | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 9,284 Reviews | | Display Type | Digital | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00085267115216 | | Included Components | Thermostat, Mounting Hardware, Quick Install Guide | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 6"D x 1"W x 3.25"H | | Item Type Name | 7-Day Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Honeywell Home | | Manufacturer Part Number | RTH7600D1030 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year warranty. | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | RTH7600D | | Model Number | RTH7600D | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 AAA batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 6"D x 1"W x 3.25"H | | Product Style | Thermostat | | Screen Size | 15.24 centimeters | | Special Feature | Smart Response Technology , Touchscreen | | Specific Uses For Product | Furnace | | Temperature Control Type | Heating and Cooling | | UPC | 666297834355 085267115216 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 24 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Honeywell Home - **Controller Type:** Touch - **Model Name:** RTH7600D - **Product Dimensions:** 6"D x 1"W x 3.25"H - **Special Feature:** Smart Response Technology, Touchscreen ## Images ![Honeywell Home RTH7600D 7-Day Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51iiHpUpXiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have a hysteresis, or "swing" temp control?** A: It does not, but here is a work-around: Honeywell *does* have a control that sets the cycles per hour, this is called "Heating Cycle Rate" and is function #0240 on my Honeywell RTH7600D. The default for this is "5" cycles per hour, I set mine to "1". This has minimized annoying and inefficient cycling on my gas furnace. To make sure I knew exactly what was going on, I also turned off "Smart Response Technology", function #0530. I am not certain that the "Heating Cycle Rate" numbers correspond *exactly* to cycles per hour, but I believe that they are at least proportionate. Good luck! **Q: Does this need a C wire or does it run on batteries?** A: This does not need a C wire. It uses two AA batteries. Honeywell (and others such as Trane) use a C wire on models that use WiFi or voice recognition or Z-wave so they can have a 24V connection. All thermostats use low voltage from the other connectors and typically use the batteries as a backup when there's no C wire. For this thermostat, you can take it off the wall, hold it in your hands and program it. You can't do that on models that don't use batteries. However, those other models can be programmed from a computer or phone app so it's less necessary. **Q: Does it have a programmable fan?** A: Depends on your definition of 'programmable'. It can be set one of two ways: "On" - fan is always on, "Auto" - fan only runs when heat/cool is on. Those are the only fan settings. **Q: Why would you buy this thermostat over the one that costs $26, also from Honeywell?** A: We bought as the same reason as below. For us, the Honeywell RTkH7600D offered the possibility of setting automatic individual heat/cool cycles or programs for each day of the week. The $26 one offers program settings for Monday-through-Friday (one set that applies to all of the 5 weekdays) and a second programmable sets for Saturday and Sunday. We wanted to be able to set different programs for EACH day of the week. I bought two of these and they work great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade and easy to program! *by Y***K on August 25, 2026* I am very satisfied with this 7-day programmable thermostat.

There is no need to look at the thousands of other thermostats or read any other reviews. I've done all that for you. Who knew there could be so many products out there to do 1 simple thing - program & run your heating/AC unit. Understandably I'm not a HVAC tech. I'm just a homeowner that's living on SS, a small pension, rental properties, & royalties. I'm also single, BTW. Amazon has the 7600 at an awesome price. It was $20 more at Walmart & Home Depot. The RiteTemp thermostat I took out was starting to act like a stubborn old man; something I know a lot about. It never was easy to use. The programming was cumbersome. The ambient air temperature would vary widely. My 84 y/o dad, who can no longer understand even simple things, would try to work it. That was an event that would take me 15-30 minutes to fix. For that reason I bought the locking cover for the Honeywell 7600. I think sometimes technical writers think too hard about how their material will be read. They attempt to make it as simple as possible and wind up leaving out important but necessary imformation. The only hang up I had in installation was the instructions didn't say the wire terminals were not the type that cut through the wire's insulation. The RiteTemp's instructions explained that. When I wired the Honeywell in I wired it like the old one. Well the wires needed to be bare to make contact. The tech info should also say in BOLD HUGE PRINT to mark the wires as they are on the old thermostat before disconnecting. I already knew to do this so it was easy to install. It was not in their instructions. It is totally programable from the touchscreen and this is where the writers did a good job. They made it cookbook-like steps. Just don't be intimadated by the codes. They are like measurements in cooking: teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, quarts... and putting in the ingredients at the right time. Now that the new thermostat has been controlling the heater for a few months, it really shows its superiority. It keeps the temperature even. That 84 y/o I mentioned above needs the house very warm. With all the functions programmed by the touchscreen screen, he can't mess with it. Actually, the locking cover key can be left in the lock because he can't figure out how that works. You want a thermostat to do it's job without thinking about it. That's what the Honeywell 7600 does. It is the One to Buy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Honeywell Home RTH7600D 7-Day Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat - Gedreew Large Thermostat Lock Box Cover with Key, Clear Thermostat Cover with Lock Compatible With Honeywell Home Thermostat On Wall, AC Lock Box Cover with Key Fits Thermostats 5"H x 6" W or Smaller - Honeywell Home CG512A1009 Large Thermostat Guard, Fits Thermostats 8. 25" W x 5. 75" H or Smaller Clear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/1173138-honeywell-home-rth7600d-7-day-programmable-touchscreen-thermostat](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/1173138-honeywell-home-rth7600d-7-day-programmable-touchscreen-thermostat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
