4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice Little Unit, February 16, 2006
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-7013BZ-IT-CBP Wireless Temperature Station (Kitchen)
I was unexpectedly surprised to see how easy it was to set up this temperature indicator. We have it sitting on a shelf and it's fairly attractive. It reads out to a tenth of a degree F., which is kind of strange since the specs only guarantee accuracy to within +/- one degree F. But, it still gives you a good idea of conditions outside. The mounting of the sensor using the screws provided is a bit tough. Be sure to pre drill holes because the philips head will deform and be useless if you try torquing without drilling first. I gave up on the screws and used the pressure sensitive adhesive pad included.

replacement temperature station, February 27, 2006
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-7013BZ-IT-CBP Wireless Temperature Station (Kitchen)
This station is a replacement for one I've had for a little over 1 year. The station is great except that the parts don't last too long. I had the transmitter stop functioning after 8 months (covered by warranty) and the receiver stopped functioning after 13 months (not covered by warranty). I've been disappointed by the endurance of the product but happy with the product itself.

great small clock/temperature station, September 28, 2005
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-7013BZ-IT-CBP Wireless Temperature Station (Kitchen)
When you get this clock, the package comes with the following items:
- 1 clock
- 1 clock stand
- two adhesive mounts
- two screws (for wall mounting)
Note: Two triple A batteries are required for the operation of this clock and are not included.
The La Crosse Technology Temperature Station is great for people who are looking for the following qualities in a clock:
- affordability
- simple time display
- indoor/outdoor temperature display
Also, this clock is not for people who are looking for:
- led backlight display
- alarm function
- ac adapter powered
Overall, the La Crosse WS does well in what it promises. Being a clock, it displays the time with dark enough contrast that it doesn't difficult to read the time on the display. As a weather station, I get outdoor temperature readings that are regularly consistent with online temperature forecasts. On occasion, when the sun is directly shining over the outdoor weather monitor, you will see an aberration in temperature that will normalize as dawn passes. I haven't checked the indoor readings against a thermometer, but the readings are never so off that I would consider them to be inconsistent.
If you are looking for a clock with more functionality i.e. (led backlight, alarm), I recommend looking for a clock at radio shack, though they would be a little more expensive.
