Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an attractive design with good build quality and heft. The latter is no doubt to add stability to the tall form, especially since the device also works as an alarm clock with the snooze button at the top. The button doubles as a light, which I find very useful late at night or in the early morning as I can read the display without having to turn a light on.
Setup was pretty straightforward, except that inserting batteries into the remote sensor was way more hassle than I expected. The lid to that compartment is secured by tiny Philips head screws which my regular screwdriver cannot fit. If I didn't have a miniature screwdriver set, I couldn't have put this unit into service.
I can't rely on the self-setting clock. I've owned several Oregon Scientific clocks and the signal these devices need to receive are too weak to work in New York City. So come daylight savings time (tonight), I have to turn back the clock manually.
The device is supposed to predict weather conditions 12 to 24 hours ahead, and for the most part provides a good indication. However, the wide time window means this is no substitute for detailed TV or internet forecasts. One morning it actually displayed the sunny symbol while rain and drizzle continued into the night. Well, at least it keeps the kids amused.
All I really wanted was a remote outdoor thermometer. I ended up buying this model because the dedicated thermometers on amazon.com are ugly, and the price was right. I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Sleek design meets teal-time weather data!! This stylish weather unit uses barometric pressure to predict the weather 12-24 hours in advance, and includes temperature readings from up to three remote locations. A digital clock sets itself to the U.S. Atomic Clock radio signal, and a day/month calendar also features a moon phase indicator. Automatically sets itself to the U.S. Atomic Clock radio signal ¿ never needs adjusting for Daylight Savings Time.
