Hobos are very easy to work with. Changing the batteries is simple. They're easy to use, the batteries last a long time, and if you have a shuttle, you don't have to bring them all to your computer to download them. On top of that, they're cheap - excuse me, inexpensive. Economical. Anne, Hoboist Anne T.

Changing the batteries is ridiculously difficult and dangerous because opening the unit exposes the chip board and the humidity sensor. And those tiny little screws... I need to buy more dataloggers. Should I take this opportunity to switch? Are HOBOs easy to work with?
