After figuring three things out that weren't in the instructions, this works perfectly.
1. After installing the batteries (not included) in both the main unit and the wireless sensor, I had to press the reset buttons with the end of a paper clip in both units to make the main unit display the outside temp.
2. Out of the box, it takes several hours for both of the temperatures to "settle in." Actual indoor temp was 71, outdoor was 16 -- both initially showed 80, and slowly dropped from there to the correct temp. Now, they seem to go up and down in "real time."
3. The directions for setting the time say to press the "alarm" button after setting the hour in order to set the minutes. Actually, you have to press the "time" button again, and then press "time" after setting the minutes in order to save the new time.
A couple of other notes. This has a nice size display (numbers are approximately 1 inch high) and is easy to see. There's a backlight button in case the room is really dark, but I can read it in shadows even without the backlight. The main unit has a stand so it can sit on a table -- or you can hang it on the wall. If so, you'll have to provide your own screw to hang it on -- ditto if you want to hang the outside transmitter.
Batteries are not included. You need two AAA size and two AA size. If you live in an area where the temp could conceivably go below 20 degrees, the AA's need to be lithium as alkaline won't work below 20 degrees. Even with lithiums in the outside transmitter, it won't work below minus 4 according to the package info.
We live in a very small house and have some other wireless devices -- a wireless printer for the PC, a heater with a remote, digital frame with remote, the standard TV, satellite box, DVD player and stereo (all with remotes), cell phones and the like. The instructions say to keep the main unit more than 10 feet from ALL of these. No way to do that in a house as small as ours, but we have not experienced any interference.
From reading some reviews of similar products (which I did before deciding to get this), it seems that keeping it simple works for this unit. You set the clock, so you don't have to worry about it getting the signal from the Atomic Clock or getting it to read the right time zone. There's no ice alarm to start buzzing every minute when the temperature hovers near freezing. And finally, while I would have liked an indoor/outdoor thermometer with humidity, after reading the reviews I decided that the inexpensive units just weren't reliable enough on the humidity to justify the expense . . . and the ones that seemed to work well were out of my budget.
This unit doesn't do a lot of fancy things, but it does what it says it will do. For me, that deserves 5 stars.

I really like this AcuRite Wireless Weather
Thermometer. It was inexpensive. And it works
really well. I like to watch the outside temp,
for my job,so that I know how to dress for the day.
(I work outside.) Haven't had any problems with it,
so far.

I like this AcuRite Digital Wireless Weather Thermometer, it is easy to read and a great feature is the light button, you do not have to turn the light on in the room to see the temperature, you actually have a light button. I compared it with other thermometer I have and it is pretty accurate.

Acurite
Bought this as a second unit for our lower level. It works fine so far though it is about 3-4 degrees off from our other Acurite unit. I don't mind as long as it is consistent. Read more
