Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I feel deceived. I bought this pricey product based on it prominently proclaiming "Metal" on the box, thinking this wouldn't be something that I'd want to trash once it falls on the floor and gets cracked. I also hoped it wasn't made in China.
Well, it is made in China and it is not all metal. It's plastic with a metal band around the display and plastic base. The range of the one remote sensor is poor; it would not transmit from downstairs to directly upstairs in our house. I also cannot get atomic clock synchronization to work (it doesn't find the radio station). It also it much more expensive that similar Oregon Scientific products. The array of setting buttons on the back is also counter-intuitive and the rather bright always-on LCD back light makes it unsuitable for use on one's nightstand.
I used to very much like Oregon Scientific products, but see that they were bought out by a Taiwanese company about 10 years ago. So I am not seemingly not buying American at all.
Pros: Slick blue lighting, five possible remote controls (interestingly the manual sounds like there should be a UV sensor also be included, but only the single temperature and humidity control is in the package)
Cons: deceiving packaging, poor wireless sensor performance, clumsy controls, expensive
