3M Filtrete 3M36 Flush Mount 7Day Programmable Thermostat Touch Screen 7 Day,5-1-1 & 5-2 for $9.73 YMMV @ Home Depot B&M. FAR $10 Local Utility Rebate

I just got one of these and installed it about 2 weeks ago. This is a nice unit. I was worried about having a big hole in the wall if i had to replace it, but really....how often do thermostats fail? Its worth the upgrade if you have an old ugly thermostat that is not backlit and fully programable.

I've had one for a few months. Picked up another one today for $9.73 for a spare. Thanks.

Couldn't find any at my local hd. Shame needed one. They did have a pair of stainless steel garbage cans for $14 on sale though. Plenty of boxes for those.. .

Make sure you ask someone in orange with one of the smart scanner to do a product look up for item 452-494. Sometimes the inventory is up in the rafters.

Darn - doesn't appear to be sold in the Central Phoenix locations per the inventory checker: http://sd.site88.net/homedepot.html

Great find and good luck to the rest.

I'm less worried about failure but simply the possibility I might upgrade, to say a wifi-enabled unit in the future. Imagine trying to replace this beast w/ a slim, trim Nest!

Still a good deal though.

Quote from loveless13 : Thanks for posting but I'll pass on this one, if this thermostat dies you have to buy another one that will fit in its wall space or else you'll be patching drywall/plaster and trying to match paint to get a surface mount one.

i cant remember the last time i heard of a thermostat breaking/dying

$17.03 plus tax in Warrington, Pa.

Quote from tukwok : Buy extra(s) for back up then. It's still much cheaper than just one nice thermostat.

not necessarily, Honeywell (an awesome brand for thermostats) is on FP right now for 11 bucks at kmart... I have a shitty thermostat that's touch screen... it's total garbage. The cool-look aside, there is no backlight and the user interface is garbage. Point being, go with a good brand.

Purchased 1 myself 2 years ago on clearance then when it was RiteTemp. Still working fine.
You can adjust the Temp accuracy to at least .25 degrees I do believe.

Anyway I read up on the static electricity damage ahead of time, as well as using a Nickel Metal Hydride or Lithium Rechargeable Battery for Power if you do not supply it with power thru the HVAC System. If you do then use the Alkaline Battery.

So Purchased 3 for the WTF moment. Could use one in the Garage if I ever install a Furnace and Insulate it for working on the car in winter, and have two for backup.

For the price why not..

Also $9.73 In Illinois Stores in the Chicago area and also In the Northwest Indiana region to include parts of Southwest Michigan.

$17.03 plus tax in MD, as well as the 3M30 (which is not flush mount)

$17.03 is for 3M30. what's the diff between 3M36 and 3m30?

I too, bought the 3m36 a couple years back when it was a different brand. Got it from Home Depot for around $10. Has worked flawless.

sku: 452494 3m36 is a flush mount
sku: 338194 3m30 is not flush mount, same programming and also has a 1 button for home and away.

I decided to pick up the 3m30 for $17.03
There were still a bunch of each left on the shelf when I left Sunday afternoon.
