1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, February 4, 2009

I purchased model #1526 and was barely able to see the display on the receiving unit. I then replaced the batteries with brand new lithium ones with no improvement. I returned the unit to the store where purchased and received a replacement that is also very difficult to see the display. The sending unit display is much clearer and easier to see.

I also lose the temperature reading on the receiving unit when the temperature goes below 15 F despite only being approximately 10ft from the sending unit. Once again, both units have brand new lithium ion batteries. I called Talyor and they were no help at all and said I should just return the unit to where purchased.

1.0 out of 5 stars A complete waste of money, May 11, 2009

I feel stupid having ordered this product after having read the completely accurate reviews written by the previous customers. This item is a piece of junk.

The first time I received the product, the main unit was broken inside the packaging. Amazon was quick and courteous a about sending a replacement item. However, a working model isn't much more useful. The Display is so dim that it is practically unreadable and you must be viewing it at a very precise angle to see it at all. By no means can you just glance at it as you are walking by.

If I could give this zero stars, I would.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate and hard to see, October 14, 2009

Upon installing I had to reposition the indoor unit on the wall because you can't see the information on the display if you view it from below eye level, that is, at an angle from the bottom of the display. Now that it has turned cold, the external unit is registering about 9 degrees above the actual temperature and above the indoor unit when they are placed side by side. There is a warranty but it is hardly worth the trouble and expense to return to Taylor for the money involved. I am going to toss it and order a Lacrosse which has been reliable in our summer home.
