Product Description

Amazon.com Review

No more squinting at a column of mercury to learn whether it's a jacket day or a shorts day. This handsome remote thermometer displays indoor and outdoor temperatures in large, easy-to-read digital numbers. Simply place the remote sensor outside and keep the main receiver unit on a desk or wall. Or, place the sensor in the baby's room or wine cellar, where every degree counts. Three channels let the main unit support up to three sensors, so temperature can be monitored in various rooms and/or outdoor locations. A transmission range of 90 feet is possible between the sensor and main unit, and the sensor itself features an LCD display to show current readings. A memory function retains maximum and minimum temperatures. The four-line display on the main unit shows temperatures to a tenth of a degree, in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, as well as current time, alarm set time, and time zone map. Radio signals from the U.S. atomic clock keep the clock automatically synchronized. The main indoor unit measures 5-3/8 by 4-1/4 by 1 inch; batteries are included for both units. Backed by a three-month warranty against defects, this thermometer should give years of accurate temperature readings. --Ann Bieri

The ExactSet clock automatically sets itself to the precise time using the U.S. Atomic Clock - so you'll never have to worry about winding, double-checking the time, or "falling back" again. Three channels, each with user-set alarms and maximum/minimum memory allow you to personalize your system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only measures to 4 below zero Fahrenheit., December 26, 2003

First of all, the lowest temperature that this unit will measure (according to the manual) is minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit. It gets way colder than that here. When it does, I want to know it! Also, the remote unit uses batteries and some batteries freeze and stop working. Lithium or titanium batteries will solve that problem since they will operate at a much lower temperature than regular batteries. Look for lithium/titanium batteries in electronics or camera stores. Anyway, this is a perfectly good unit if you live in a warmer climate than I do.

This review is from: Oregon Scientific RMR112 Cable-Free Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Clock (Kitchen)

This is a nice unit. It looks good, and was easy to set up. With one improtant exception. For some reason the batteries for the remote unit, the reset button, and a few control switches are behind a panel with four tiny screws. And I mean tiny, and the screws themselves are made from a soft metal and it would be very easy to strip out the screw heads. Why they didn't use a sliding door I'll never know.
So when you take off this panel don't take the screws all the way out, they are very hard to get threaded back into the panel.
And lastly I had a 2 degree temperature differential between the base station, and the remote sensor when they were sitting right next to each other, but they may just be this set.

3.0 out of 5 stars Imperfect compromise, September 20, 2005

This review is from: Oregon Scientific RMR112 Cable-Free Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Clock (Kitchen)

I am going to quickly list the minuses of this unit:

It is eating batteries like candy;
It doesn't have night-light;
Replacing the batteries on the remote unit is cumbersome;
Does not display humidity.

So, considering the discount, this is an imperfect compromise!

Suggestions:
Do something about the ease of changing the battery on the remote;
Power the main unit to 110V, and keep the battery only for backup;
Make it visible through the night;
Display humidity (indoors and outdoors as well!).

Then you price it for $34.95 and sell it like pancakes!
