5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the others, March 23, 2005

This weather station is the most accurate of all the ones in its price range that I have seen. Its forcasts are right on the money, and the temp and humidity are within one or two degrees and percent. I've read the other reviews for this type of product, and have seen first hand some of the problems that other weather stations have had, and I can honestly say that this one is worth a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, easy to use, March 18, 2006

I've owned this unit for several months now and I'm quite happy with it. It was simple to set up, I had no problem getting a strong clock signal and seems to be pretty accurate. It is certainly accurate enough for home use. The simple weather forecast function works well too.

There are two things I'd gig this unit on: One is that to reset the min/max temperatures etc. you have hold the reset button for several seconds. I'd like the time required to hold the button reduced. The other is that I'd really like for the barometric pressure to be displayed. It tracks pressure changes, but doesn't provide a pressure readout.

Both of these are relatively minor items and for the money you won't be disappointed in this unit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Information is great, reading it is tuff., September 23, 2006

The unit works great. The contrast for the data even when it is turned up all the way is extremely difficult to read except if you get right on top of it. Be careful with the outside unit. Mine fell off the wall within the first day. The double sided tape provided let go, not from the wall but it separated within itself so that part of the tape remained on the wall and part on the unit. Mount it with the screws.

Pros: Easy to set up, easy to use. useful readings.

Cons: Difficult to read except close up. Don't use the provided double sided tape it does not hold.

Update: When the unit worked it seemed to be great except hard to read. Around thirty days the outside unit failed.
