Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With plenty of versatile features, the unit displays sunrise/sunset and moon phases for 99 U.S. and Canadian cities. A remote sensor helps you monitor outdoor temperatures and the main console displays temperatures and humidity levels inside. The remote sensor works from up to 330 feet away for monitoring temperature levels in the greenhouse, shop, and garage. It works great indoors too, helping monitor temperatures in the baby's room, music room, and near plumbing you don't want to freeze up. The main console receives data from up to 3 remote locations with the purchase of additional sensors. A great way to help kids dress for the weather, the weather station's Oscar Outlook icon is always dressed appropriately for weather ahead, with outfits ranging from swimming trunks to a coat, hat and scarf, and other weather-themed accessories in tote, such as a beach chair, an umbrella, or a snow man.
The station's precision clock receives signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock, automatically setting itself to exact time accurate to the second. A manual override setting lets you set date and time yourself for areas where Daylight Savings Time doesn't apply (otherwise the handy unit sets itself for DST, too). A large button lets you toggle between an array of time and weather displays. A flip out table stand sets up quickly on counter, windowsill, or desk, or the unit hangs easily from any wall in the home or office. This weather station is compatible with La Crosse Technology TX29U-IT 915 MHz Wireless Temperature Sensor.

Poor Quality + ZERO customer service,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-9611U-IT Wireless Sun/Moon Forecast Station with Oscar Outlook (Kitchen)
I bought it in February 09'. After two months' use, the display was dead. I thought it was the batteries. So I replaced all the batteries. The display beeped once and then nothing. Same thing when I tried at least 3 types of alkaline batteries as recommended. As other reviewer mentioned, La Crosse has ZERO customer servce.
1)I contacted them using their online Contact Custome Service form in early May. 2)Having hearding nothing from them, I sent a email on June 10. An email came on June 12 with the typical Battery instructions despite the detailed problem description in my email. It also asked for the purchase info that I already sent in the previous email. 3)Anyway, I resent all the info requested on the same day, June 12. And guess what, nothing happened after that. It's 10 days now after I sent the last email. My patience ran out. So I filed a complaint with BBB. And I strongly encourage any one who have similr problems with La Crosse to do the same. We can't just let them sell faulty products and ignore the customers. Update: My case with BBB was closed as UNRESOLVED due to NO RESPONSE from La Crosse. Now La Crosse has the lowest rating of F in BBB system. Check it out before you buy!

I love the little guy,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-9611U-IT Wireless Sun/Moon Forecast Station with Oscar Outlook (Kitchen)
First off, this thing works. Second, I am kind of sorry I didn't find money to buy even more options. But for the price I am thoroughly delighted with a working outdoor sensor giving me current temperature and an inside thermometer/humidity reading. The little man icon is kind of icing on the cake. Calendar and sunrise are nice. It's a compact worthy desktop addition. My first go-round with setting it up was clumsy. Then when I had fresh new batteries in hand I decided to change to fresh (supposedly will last a year) and reset the station. The second go-round went much smoother and I suspect any problems I had with originally setting up the station were my own problems, not the unit. My recommendation is to buy this one if you want an economical weather station that works. But if you can afford more options, go for one that provides temps, humidity and perhaps a heat/chill index for outside. I'm saving up and looking for such a unit now.

Short-life for transmitter,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-9611U-IT Wireless Sun/Moon Forecast Station with Oscar Outlook (Kitchen)
I started up this little baby on 12/31 (the timing stands out in my mind) and TWO WEEKS LATER and the outside transmitter is dead. The set itself still works fine, except the whole point of it (for me anyway) is to know the outside temp. I loved the guy who would tell me how to dress, and enjoyed the moon phases and sun rise/set. But others have complained about that outside transmitter too... I wish I'd bought something else. I had one for YEARS that was just a simple wire from (a different) station which you could place out the window. Should have gone old-school, apparently. I'm very, very disappointed and suggest you look elsewhere so you aren't disappointed too.
UPDATE 7/2010. Some have asked me if I ever did anything about the warranty, so I thought I should give a quick update. I returned the product to Amazon (easy exchange) and got a new one. This time I used lithium batteries and kept the sensor more protected outside (basically it's protected on three sides and is never in direct sunlight or exposed to snow). I don't think I'm getting a fully accurate reading but at least it WORKS. Being in southern New England we can go from 100 degrees to below 0. It may not be 100% accurate, but it's working. Would I get it again? No. But maybe my expectations were too high. Buyer beware.
