5.0 out of 5 stars
Just a couple of caveats,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon Scientific BAR388HGA Wireless Weather Station with Atomic Clock, Black (Kitchen)
This unit is easy to read and works great--compared to what, I dunno. We've never owned anything like this. But it's fun to have, much more so than a simple thermometer.
Two caveats however. You need a very small flat-head screwdriver in order to put the AAA batteries into the sensor. Not so small as the one in an eyeglass repair kit though. I had a small screwdriver with a shirt-pocket clip, that small, and still had to file the sides down in order to reach the deeply recessed screws. I'll have to do this anytime the batteries need changing. Not the best design perhaps. Second, the instructions tell you to put the (outdoor) sensor (1) in a sight line with the (indoor) monitor-- (2) open to the sky-- (3) out of the sun-- (4) out of the rain-- (5) away from metal-- It's not easy to do all of this! Ours is nestled in a plastic container cut up into the shape of a bus kiosk and tied to a post. I'm not sure if it's all 100% necessary. The atomic clock took about a day to find its signal. The instructions warn about this odd (to me) likelihood. It's a little discouraging to have to deal with all of this out of the box but as I say the device is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice but one caution,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon Scientific BAR388HGA Wireless Weather Station with Atomic Clock, Black (Kitchen)
The weather station operates flawlessly and is very clear. I chose it because unlike some other models, this one shows both the indoor and outdoor conditions at once for both temp and humidity.
One caution: Although the description does not say so, this is a desk unit only not a wall mount unit--there's an immovable rest sticking out the back (most of the other models are not like this)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Truly excellent weather station. Only 3 slight issues.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon Scientific BAR388HGA Wireless Weather Station with Atomic Clock, Black (Kitchen)
After comparing this weather station to the more expensive ones, I gave in on the nice looks of this one and can't say that I'm disappointed. We really love this unit. We check the temperature and the humidity outside every day and not once was it inaccurate. The rain predictor is a bit fishy to me, it thinks it's going to rain 60% of the time when it never does. But it beats listening to the weather people on the news who can't even tell if it really is going to snow tomorrow.
The only 3 issues that we found with this are 1) it doesn't have a backlight so you can't see anything in the dark; 2) the time doesn't seem to adjust automatically to our zone and 3) the battery on the remote sensor died in like 2 months. Despite these 3 issues, I would buy this unit again over all the others currently on the market.
