Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great weather station to determine if you will leave the windows open at night or use the AC. I check it before bed and I know what I am going to wear in the morning. I would buy it again.
Things I like:
-Timex indiglo style backlighting. Much easier to read than those without it.
-Nice design. It sits out on my night stand and I didn't want anything too industrial looking.
-Fairly accurate weather predictions in my area.
-No problems receiving the MSN signals.
-LED changes color and blinks when a storm advisory is in effect. This is more handy than I expected it would be.
-Easy to setup.
-Well built.
Things I don't like:
-No way to silence the beeping when pressing buttons.
-Very loud alarm. At the quitest setting, it is much too loud to be used as an alarm clock.
-Has some bells and whistles that are more for show than usefulness.
-Fairly large unit. It's almost as wide as my laptop.
-Have to toggle between indoor and outdoor temp settings. They are not both on the screen at once.
-Too many weather forecast icons.
-User interface could be better, but it is not too bad.
-Weather report scroll bar runs too slow horizontally and is difficult to read.
I also have the weather channel model #WS-9043TWC made by lacrosse. I prefer the Oregon because of the forecasting feature. Of course, you can get the same info from online or tv as well.
