Very nice little unit and very accurate. Easy to set up and easy to install. If you decide to use the double faced tape thats supplied to attach the remote sensor be aware this stuff is really STICKY! its not going to come off even in an 8.2 earthquake so make sure you have it located exactly where you want it and where its going to work! Better off using the screws included if you have any doubt about where to locate it.

Works very well. But do not try to attach it to metal siding. The metal blocks the signal.

I purchased the The Weather Channel WS-9055TWC Wireless Forecast Station since it was on a Friday sale and I had read so many mixed reviews that I wanted to get the cheapest one first to try. Well it has worked perfectly for the past couple of weeks I've used it. The important part to get it working properly is to put the batteries in the remote receiver first, then in the station. Since I liked this one so much, I also picked up the La Crosse Technology WS-9611U Wireless Sun/Moon Weather Station. This one has many extra features, most importantly for me is the humidity level reading for my home office. I also enjoy the clothing indicator and the moon phases. Both have worked perfectly (granted I've only had them a few weeks) and usually are within one degree F of each other. I don't think you could go wrong with either selection depending on your needs, but I would wait for a repeat Friday sale as now they are almost double what I paid, (TWC 22.99 B4F3, so really around 16.00 and 16.99 for the WS-9611U). If I later have an issue w/ either one functioning properly I will update this review.

I purchased this unit because I required at least 2 remotes. One is used for standard outside tempurature, and the second is to watch the temps iside my greenhouse. I looked at many other units, some with many more features, but this serves it's intended puropose perfectly, while costing very little. I still have one channel left, and may possibly use it to watch the temps in our protected front courtyard style entry area.

This is the second one of this Weather Channel WFS model we have owned. The first came as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. It worked fine until recently when the screen simply went blank! It was too good to pass up, so we bought one. It works fine but may be a little fragile over time. Live with it.

I bought the product for the sending unit. Have another one by them that receives the time by signal. Prefer that. It costs a little more. Your preference. Also the units seem to be fussy about batteries. Wants regular Alkaline AAs to work. Didn't like my lithiums.

Easy install and set-up. The unit would benifit with bolder type and or backlighting for easier reading. But otherwise it's GREAT.

My (really) old weather station stopped working and I replaced it with this model. It was easy to set up and works well.

Have had this unit for over 4 weeks, and we think it's great. Easy to install, seems accurate, and actually does a fair job of forecasting. We find we're looking at it more often than we anticipated we would.

The thermometer was easy to set up, seems to give accurate indoor and outdoor temperatures as well as weather forecasting based upon barometric pressures.
