Just received and really enjoy the larger display.
Nice to see at a glance what it says.
Easy to set up and started working right away.
Only drawback is the Min/Max function button is on the back of the unit.
That is okay if you set it on a table or desk, but I have mine hanging on the wall, so that makes it not so handy.
I would still recommend it!

This will be a really short review as the unit stopped working only after 2 days. I liked it for that little while but wish it would last a bit more. It does have a nice uncluttered screen and a modern stainless steel look.

This is going back to Amazon.

I bought this thermometer because it had a large display and modern styling. Both of these are what I got. My complaint is that the accuracy of this thermometer around freezing is not very good. My kids have a couple weather stations I got them for last christmas and when they say 32 it is freezing out. Mine will say almost 35 even though it has clearly dipped below freezing. So if you just want a general idea of temperature with a nice large display, this is the one for you. Otherwise I would seek something more accurate.

Purchased unit new in February 2009. Looks nice and worked as expected - but for less than 2 years. Replaced batteries October 2010 for winter use. Batteries in outside unit failed about three months later in January 2011. All batteries replaced with another brand. Then, after another 3 months, in April 2011, batteries in outside unit again fail. Too expensive and troublesome replacing batteries every 3 months. Cost to purchase another outside transmitter is about 50% of the cost of a new unit. Had this unit worked 5 years or more, I would have been happy with it. But, failure beginning at less than 2 years is "not" acceptable for a product like this.

The numbers in the display didn't all work correctly, so the item was returned for a full refund. I purchased Weathertech model FX5000, which has more features and a larger display. It works great.

This product is, and performs, exactly as I expected. As a runner, I am more concerned with the outside heat and humidity than I am with my termperature controlled inside environment. The station is perfect for that. It is encased in an attractive frame, and gives the outside temperature in a large readout, while the outside humidity, time and inside temp are displayed below. It was easy to setup, and maintenance consists only of changing the batteries periodically.

Very nice product. I've used it in a number of environments and it works as expected. We live in a rain forest and it is not daunted by humidity or some moisture (I keep it under an eave when outside). It is also used to monitor the humidity of my cheese cave (tupperware in a fridge) -- the sensor is small enough to do the trick. The sensors are accurate. I like it.

Item arrived quickly, set up was straight forward and display easy to read. Battery life so far has been much better than my old unit. Looks pretty good too!

Fabulous! Takes a little work to set it up but works great and is better than anticipated! The large display of outdoor temp is exactly what I was looking for. Indoor temp and humidity is also great (smaller display), could eliminate the time as I don't need it. Would make a nice gift!

I just received the unit and the display is very nice. It has both indoor and outdoor temperatures with the outdoor temp display in nice large numbers. The only drawback is the outdoor humidity. It is inaccurate. It is about 6-8 % off. I have another outdoor unit that measures humidity and is right inline with local weather station. Current humidity is 69%. This unit is displaying 61%. Go for the cheaper indoor/outdoor temperature units. Forget the outdoor humidity units.
