Product description of this weather station is incorrect and I have to pay to return it. The Bar888 clearly describes it as measuring humidity ("This versatile gadget mounts on a wall or stands alone on a tabletop. Its display features easy-to-read, digital numbers, and indicates humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, time of day, date, plus daily minimum and maximum temperatures"),and it does not. Unhappy with product and return procedure when you are in error.

In the beginning, it worked well. Then the remote sensor started leaking and died. I bought a replacement. A month later the auto time-set stopped working. A couple weeks later the unit no longer received signal from the remote unit, even if it was 3 inches away! Neither fresh batteries nor a reset of the unit solved the problems. A different unit still receives signals from the remote.

You can surely find a better model.

This keeps you on time and lets you monitor the weather and temps inside and out. later on I plan to get at least one more monitor for outside(can have up to three).

This product was easy to install. You need to be sure to read the instructions regarding the installed batteries as they do have to be removed and reinstalled. The weather station has been extremely accurate with both outside and inside temperatures. It is nice to get up in the morning and know the outside temperature without having to open the door and feel outside! The weather prediction has also been acurrate, but you need to remember that it is forcasting 12-24 hours in advance and not the weather for the exact time you are reading it. It does give a chance for you to make tentative plans for the next day. It's nice knowing whether the barometer is raising or falling.

Perfect replacement for our older model. When it indicates there's rain in the future, we've found it to be 90 to 95 % correct. Beats the local weatherman...even if he is my grandson!

The Idea of the product is good. However the product has no lighting at all on it. This has been troublesome considering you set your alarm at night (when it is dark) and you usually wake up when it is dark. Because there is no backlight you can't see the time or temp.

I purchased this exact model of I/O thermometer a few years ago. Thought it was so great, that I sent one as a gift to my sister this fall. As gardeners, we both appreciate the high/low temperature memory on the outdoor monitor. Since the remote is cable free, it can be moved to any location with zero hassle. Makes a great gift for anyone.

We received one as a gift last year and have absolutely loved it. I don't know what I would do w/o it now. We use it every morning for a guide on how to dress for the day. I especially love the picture of the current weather. My father saw it and commented on how nice it was so we bought one for him and gave it as gifts throughout the year and now am giving it as Christmas gifts.

We received this weather station as a gift and have really enjoyed it. So, we decided that if we liked it, we might as well share the wealth. We've given this as a gift and it was very well received. It's nice to see what the forecast is going to be, and what the high & low has been. The only thing that proved annoying was when my husband accidently turned the alarm on. It took us days to figure out where the faint beeping sound was coming from. (Smile)
