Amazon.com Review
Beat the weatherman to the punch with this Weather Channel wireless weather station, which forecasts the climate conditions from 12 to 20 hours in advance, in addition to displaying the indoor and remote temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The device displays the forecast using small indication icons, complemented by arrows that measure the outdoor air pressure. The weather station fits comfortably on a wall or stands freely on its own, and is compatible with up to three remote sensors (one is included). The unit also records the maximum and minimum temperatures over a set period and displays the manual time on its quartz clock. --Rivers Janssen

Great Gift
I bought this item twice. Once for a friend who recently graduated from a meteorology program, and the second time for a father's day gift. My weatherman friend likes it a lot because it almost does his job for him. It shows outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, indoor temperature, time, and predicts the quality of the weather by measuring all those things. My friend enjoyed it so much that I got one for my dad with two extra sensors. He now uses it at his lake house in Maine. The three sensors were placed down near the lake, in the woods, and right outside the house. Each of these sensors took about 10 minutes to set up, but it works wonderfully. The station predicted sun, and we had sun. It predicted rain, we went fishing and got lots of fish, and it rained. This is a really great station and works very well and has kept two people very happy.

Could use a little better quality control
Item seems to work fine. I had to return the first one because the screen had numerous scratches and it was "fogged" making it hard to read. The second one didn't have the scratches, but still had the dull, foggy screen. I kept it since I didn't want to keep boxing it up and sending it back.

They should inspect these and get rid of the "defective" ones.

Avoid this product
There are 2 reasons I recommend you do NOT buy this product. First, the outdoor sensor needs to be placed in a location where it won't encounter rain - and the product doesn't tell you that. Second, the internal thermometer is the slowest I've ever encountered - it generally reads 5 degrees lower than my thermostat (which is fairly new), and takes up to an hour to catch up. Look elsewhere.
