5.0 out of 5 stars Great simple item but shop around for best price!, June 11, 2006
This review is from: Ambient 5 Day Weather Forecaster (Electronics)
99$? I found this same item on Radio Shack for 13$ The SAME EXACT ITEM! All it is is an LCD screen that receives radio signals that are transferred into icons. It is updated every 15 minutes and finds your location. Very neat item - for 13$ 99$ would be another story.

3.0 out of 5 stars The forecast calls for technical support..., September 6, 2006
This review is from: Ambient 5 Day Weather Forecaster (Electronics)
The idea of this device is great: it picks up a 5-day weather forecast from AccuWeather and displays the key elements on its screen. Icons show projected weather conditions and temperature ranges at a glance, along with the current outdoor temperature. Unfortunately, if your experience is like mine, you may find yourself spending a fair amount of time corresponding with Ambient's apparently sole customer service rep trying to get the device to work properly. I have owned one of these for several weeks now and am already on my second unit; Ambient replaced the first one under warranty after first sending me a refurbished pager board that didn't fit in the unit's plastic case. The replacement unit had a problem too: the little switch on the bottom wasn't working properly, making it impossible to select among city forecasts in my area. Because I had already had experience (too much) opening the case, I think I managed to solve the problem; at any rate, the unit appears to be receiving updated forecasts for New York City, which has been my primary objective since I bought it. So if you're game for a little fiddling, you may be very pleased with this 5-day forecaster. If you can't be bothered with things that don't work properly right out of the box, however, you should probably pass this gadget by. I have come to understand why Radio Shack has apparently unloaded their remaining inventory of these at $15 a pop; you may be especially upset by the "adoption pains" if you have shelled out the retail price of 100 clams...
