The thermostat is accurate to ±0.5 °C – in terms of how far the electronics will let the set temperature stray from the measured temperature.
The accuracy of the sensor itself can vary as the element heats up. The temperature sensor is separated from the element by an antenna behind the display to make sure the reading isn’t skewed. However, there can still be a difference of a few ˚C depending on the air flow in the room.
