Thermostats come in a wide range of choices. In this article, we will compare Sensi Thermostat ST55 with ST75. Below, you will find a detailed comparison of the two to help you decide which one will fit your needs the best.

DESIGN

Sensi ST55

Sensi ST55 comes in a white color, which gives the thermostat the ability to blend in with most white walls.

The 5-inch LCD screen makes it very easy to see the temperatures, but the screen doesn’t have a touchscreen feature. The width of 5.9 inches and the height of 3.8 inches will take up very little space on your wall, making it a convenient option for narrow spaces. The thermostat is powered by 2 AA batteries, making it easy to replace the batteries when you need to. You can also wire the thermostat into your electrical circuits as an alternative powering method.

Sensi Touch ST75

Unlike the ST55 model, the Sensi Touch ST75 comes in a black color and is a slightly smaller thermostat.

A great feature that this model offers is a 4.3�full-color LCD touchscreen display. The ST75 has a similar shape to the ST55, but you have to wire the thermostat into an electrical circuit to power it. The Sensi Touch ST75 has a more glassy and luxurious look than ST55.
