This product is very good - but not great. Surprisingly, the temperature readings are off by about 2 degrees. I would have expected that this would be "right on the money." The wireless communication with the remote temperature sensor works very well. Oregon Scientific can't decide whether to calibrate your altitude in meters or feet - the directions say one thing, their web site the opposite! Overall, however, it does a consistent job which is what really counts with weather. A lot of fun!

Functionally, I've had no problems with this product. As far as I can tell, it's within a degree or two of absolute acurate on temp and within one or two hundreths of an inch on pressure. (I'll never know for sure due to the fact that the readings at the airport or local news station are probably different than at my home). My only suggestion at improvement would be to give the choice to set one's local elevation in feet rather than meters.

I love having the information. You have to be careful to set the altitude adjustment precisely; then the readings match the weather bureau with incredible accuracy.

However, the radio transmission of the temperature can be unreliable, especially in rain. I almost always lose the outside temperature reading during any kind of even modest shower, and my remote sensor is no more than 35 feet from the unit.

The instructions for setting the unit were written by someone with cognitive problems. Good luck....try to anticipate the illogical, and you will eventually figure it out.

We live just below the arctic circle in Alaska and wondered whether a home weather station would accurately and reliably operate in extreme conditions. We've had this product for 3 years and it works like a charm!
