Customer Reviews

Strange design choices and non-waterproof sensor
The first unit I received had the remote sensor malfunction after three days but it was enough to get a feel for this unit.

First of all the LCD is designed is a strange way. The humidity is listed first, temperature second. Every other digital thermometer with a humidity sendor lists temperature first. In fact, that's how the remote sensor displays it! Second, the seconds are displayed on the same line as the month and date! Weird. The radio-controlled clock doesn't work but that was expected in a large city. Unlike another review, the barometer works exactly as my older weather center, I had them on next to each other.

I bought this to replace an old Radio Shack weather center that was starting to malfunction. On that unit you had to run a wire out the window to get outside readings so I was happy to get something that was wireless. Then I discover that the wireless unit is not waterproof and has to be mounted in a protected spot away from direct moisture! I'm in an apartment and that's not possible. The rain hits all of our windows, especally during winter storms.

The replacement unit just showed up. I'll figure a way to use it.

Very good product, nice looking
We love this product immensely. It works great, for the month plus that we have had it, it has not needed new batteries. We love all the features on it, including humidity inside and outside, the atomic clock, and the capacity for more remote sensors. We plan to purchase another remote sensor for the upstairs of our house. The only thing that has not been helpful for us on it is the forecast picture. In the directions it says to put the remote sensor in an area that is not in direct sun, but in direct view of the sky (in my own words of course). Well, I have found this to be difficult to accomplish. We have settled with out of direct sun. As a result the forecast goes from rainy, cloudy, and sunny, all within a day, with no possible chance here in California of having rain in the summer, so that part of the device is not useful at all. But the unit itself looks very nice, so we would recommend this product to anyone who does not care about the forecast part of it.

There are Better Forecaster's Out There
It tells time and the temperature without a problem. However, the forecaster function is always wrong. It will be in the 80's without a cloud in the sky for days, and the clock will be showing rain clouds on the screen.
