Nice Unit for the Price January 4, 2008
Bought this for my mother-in-law and she loves it. Pleasing her is not an easy task. She loves the way it looks and it seems to keep pretty accurate information. It's the only gift not going back to the store this year! It was actually smaller than we anticipated but easily readable.

Great weather station! November 7, 2007
I purchased this item for a gift to a friend. We had not problem with setting it up and within a few minutes the atomic clock set itself. She was so happy that now she can look and see what the outside tempature is. I have a Oregon Scientific unit I that I purchased two years and recommend this brand to anyone. Some other brands don't even compare to this one.

Good clock, not so much everything else October 26, 2007
This is great for the clock. Thermometer and hygrometer (moisture sensor) are too far off. Thermometer reads ~4 degrees off my professionally calibrated one. Hygrometer is the most unpredictable thing I've ever seen. Sometimes it's within 1% point of my professional one, other times its 10% points off. The outdoor unit's accuracy is even worse. Units are fine if you just need a guess. But if you're looking for any semblance of accuracy, go elsewhere.

Pretty good Weather Meter October 24, 2007
This is a pretty good weather meter. It does everything as expected. The forecating is a little off. Once you reset it a few times it gets better. It is definitely worth the money.

Good product idea, bad design for wall mount October 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I bought this to replace another oregon scientific unit that was dropped and broken. This one has more features, but the small lcd screens make it horrible for wall placement unless you have the best eagle eyes in the world. The outdoor unit does seem pretty water resistant as it sits in the rain a bit.

The thermometer in the main unit is spot on but the outdoor unit seems to read a bit too cold (ie. lower than it really is). My transmission distance is about 15 feet through a rock wall and has always been good. I've been going on 5 months on the same batteries, and no replacements needed yet. I have not tested the range to it's limits, but I have tried 30 feet through the rock wall and it still worked.

the curved plastic of the unit makes it sit pretty far from the wall too unlike the old flush units. I find this a decent value for the cheap price, but I'd say to spend more for a larger and more readable screen from across the room.
