Acurite Deluxe Wireless Weather Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the layout of the screen. It is very easy to read at a glance, plus it shows exactly what's important to me: temperature, humidity, air pressure, date and time. It is very easy to set the date and time and other options. The blue backlighting is beautiful. The option to hang or use with the included stand is great. The transmitter and main unit use AA batteries, which are readily available. I had no idea that the outdoor humidity levels fluctuated as much as they do throughout the day/night until I got this weather center. The whole unit is a little larger than I was expecting, and the weather forecast is not very accurate even though it has learned over the past 14 days, but I still think this weather center is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone.

La Crosse Technology WS-9520U Wireless Projection Forecast Station with Oscar Outlook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the LaCrosse WS-9520U last week. As usual, the transaction and shipping with Amazon was excellent. I very rarely return online purchases, but this one is going back. In general, the unit is as advertised - and others may find it completely satisfactory - but, after two nights of use, I have found the following specific things to be unacceptable:
1. The backlight cannot be set to remain on continuously - it only lights when a button is pushed - regardless of whether you're powering with AC or batteries. I think alarm clocks are always more convenient when you can see them at, well, uh, night. Yes, the on-ceiling projection shows the time, but nothing else. This is less than convenient.
2. General build quality is iffy at best - the buttons are clunky, loud and awkwardly placed. The entire unit seems flimsy - like it's just barely holding itself together. It's extremely light and does not have a very steady base, which will make it prone to being knocked over (like when reaching for the snooze button - which you can't see because it's not illuminated and there's no backlight) and I'm not sure this thing would survive being knocked over. Sorry to say, but for $70, this just seems very cheaply built from the mechanical side of things.
3. I guess this is obvious in hindsight, but the actual time display is tiny, maybe an inch tall. Granted, you have the projector, which works as advertised (only when it's dark in the room - projection is photo-sensitively switched on/off - no other option), but seeing the clock from across the room during daylight (when the projector is not on) is not really possible unless you've got astronaut eyes.
4. There are no alarm options and the only existing tone is - IMHO - obnoxious and too loud - a sort of high-pitched staccato double-chirp. I realize this is a personal issue, but a few buzzer options would have been nice.
5. There is absolutely no way that the battery cover on the outdoor sensor will keep the elements out of the sensor. Maybe this isn't an issue if you have a protected outdoor place to locate the sensor - but if there's any moisture at all, this thing won't last one winter here in Michigan.
In summary:
Electronics: Acceptable and as advertised, tho the few things I mentioned could be better
Mechanical: unacceptably cheap, shoddy assembly fit & finish for this price point.

From The Weather Channel by La Crosse Technology, this versatile projection weather station shines the outdoor temperature and time in large, red digits on the ceiling or wall for easy nighttime illumination. The radio-controlled clock regularly resets to match the US Atomic Clock and adapts for daylight savings time. Based on temperature and barometric pressure, the weather station gives the forecast using 24 graphic icons and tendency arrows. The weather station even provides a personal weather boy, Oscar, who models what one might wear given current outside conditions.
The weather station\'s LCD screen displays the time, date, perpetual calendar, US time zone map, and weather conditions. Pushing a button temporarily engages the EL backlight for dimmer settings. To wake sleeping users, the weather station offers a dual alarm with an adjustable snooze. The station monitors indoor humidity levels and indoor temperatures from 14.2 to 139.8 degrees F. Celsius readings are also available. For outdoor conditions, an included TX7U sensor communicates at a 433 MHz frequency from up to 330 feet. The sensor registers humidity levels and temperatures ranging from –21.8 to +157.8 degrees F. The unit also records minimum and maximum readings for indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity percentages. For the most accurate results, install the sensor in a covered location away from direct rain or sun. The base accommodates up to three sensors. Place the freestanding base at least six feet from intended projection surface. To enable constant projection, the weather station comes with a 120-volt AC adapter. The separate purchase of five AA batteries is required. Covered by a limited one-year warranty, the weather station monitor measures 6-2/3 inches wide by 2-9/10 inches deep by 4-1/2 inches high, and the sensor measures 1-3/4 inches wide by 1 inch deep by 6-1/4 inches high.

Oregon Scientific BAR800 Ultra-Thin Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been wanting one of these for a while, and received this as a gift. It looks great, but it does not work right, and there is absolutely ZERO customer support from Oregon Scientific. On this one, everything works fine until the outside temp hits 80, then the humidity reading immediately changes to 2%, and never updates after that. (It went from 37% to 2% today in one step) I have tried for several days to get it to work right... tried resetting, new batteries, moving the sensor, moving the receiver, everything that I could think of, and nothing helped. Maybe I got a defective one and all the rest are perfect, but I doubt it. It's too consistent a problem to believe that it's isolated to just one. Too bad, because it's a nice design.

La Crosse Technology 4 Day Talking Internet Powered Wireless Forecaster - Choose Finish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)LaCrosse recently migrated their servers from Germany to the US and during that whole time the device has not worked. I talked to the person who headed up the migration and he himself told me that he was the only one on the migration and that he had no extra help and that the company had no rollback plan or "plan b". Clearly this was a cost-cutting move that has rendered all of their "talking" devices useless and actually dangerous (socially not physically). What I mean is that my daughters were already late to school 3 times because the alarm not only failed to get the audio but the backup system (it was supposed to at least beep when no audio file was received) also was disabled by the error so the alarm does nothing. At least if they are going to mess up the audio file don't render the alarm completely mute.
To make matters worse is they have not been honest with their users. Their update messages on the site about system status all claim things like:
"We're very pleased to note that the WD customer base continues to grow, even faster this holiday season. If you have a Weather Direct model that offers audible forecasts, you may notice that although the visible forecast data updates regularly, a manual update is sometimes required to retrieve the spoken forecast (press and hold the SNOOZE button until the unit beeps). This is a side effect of increased volume on the system, and will be resolved as soon as possible. With most other issues, the Weather Direct units usually self-recover without user intervention if they remain connected.:
Well three things:
1. I've had this problem for months so unless the holiday season includes Labor Day I think this is just a thinly described excuse for the fact that they are still having server migration issues.
2. So how helpful is that that you need to manually update the audio. First of all should I have to make sure the device has the audio before I go to sleep? Second, even if I wanted the hassle it updates overnight and during the update it fails to get the audio update and the device goes silent (as per the note above) so you don't have an alarm anyway.
3. Their own instructions are wrong. You actually have to hold the SNOOZE button until the unit beeps TWICE. The first beep won't do it (yes I have read the instructions in detail). Also if you do hold it down for 2 beeps that also doesn't work either. it will go throught the update cycle but it doesn't bring down the audio. You'll notice that the reception indicator will be one "dot" and not one "dot" and three "semicircle" lines that indicate a good signal eventhough you are right next to the broadcasting unit.
So the combination of a shoddy product, an underfunded backend system (which this device is heavily dependent on) and thinly disguised excuses makes for a bad company you should steer clear of. There are other weather devices out there (Oregon ScientificOregon Scientific BAR388HGA Wireless Weather Station with Atomic Clock, Black, HoneywellHoneywell TN924W Weather Information Station, Black) so I would look at those instead. Please note LaCrosse Technology and Weather Direct are the same company so avoid products from both if you share these concerns.

With this talking La Crosse Technology internet-powered wireless forecaster, one no longer needs to wait for the TV weather reporter to hear the local weather. The Weather Direct WA-1240U-WAL four-day forecaster provides free weather forecasts sent directly from the internet to the unit for audio broadcast and viewing. By pushing the audio forecast key on the top back of the display, a male or female voice shares a personalized message with the selected location\'s daily weather, chosen from over 60,000 US and Canadian locations. The A/B/C keys broadcast custom audio feeds of news headlines, entertainment, health, and more. To transmit internet forecasts, an AC-powered gateway connects with a secure LAN cable to a network router. Additionally, a TX-50U wireless outdoor sensor measures temperatures right outside the front door.
The display stands alone or wall hangs. The selected location, location forecast, sunrise and sunset times, and outdoor temperature scroll across the bottom LCD section. In the center section, eighteen different icons and projected high and low temperatures forecast the next four days\' weather, updating every six hours. Internet-set time, date, and alarm indicator occupy the top LCD. For contrast and scrolling-speed adjustment, Fahrenheit/Celsius selection, and micro forecasts for morning, afternoon, evening, and night, the display proffers the SET and MODE keys with the audio keys. The user adjusts broadcast volume, sets the alarm, and activates the five-minute snooze with keys on the top front of the display. Both the gateway and sensor communicate from 330 feet unobstructed and come with mounting hardware. To operate the forecaster, no additional software or Wi-Fi connection is required, nor does the computer need to be on. However, high-speed internet service, a network router, and the separate purchase of three C and two AA batteries are necessary. A limited one-year warranty covers the forecaster.

Honeywell RCW33W Atomic Wall Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my Oregon Scientific atomic clock/barometer station started falling apart, I began looking for a similar item that would be large enough to see from across the room without my reading glasses. This Honeywell Weather Clock fills the bill nicely. This will hang on a wall or sit on a desk, runs on easily available AA batteries, and gives the atomic clock time/day/date, inside and outside temps (comes with a wireless outside thermometer remote probe), and a nice weather animation. There's an alarm, too, but I haven't tried it out. No backlighting, so it's more of a daytime wall clock-plus. It's aluminum-look plastic, but sturdier than my old Oregon Scientific clock and hung up more easily. It's definitely worth the money, and it's not expensive at that.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Honeywell RCW33W Atomic Wall Clock

The Honeywell RCW33W Atomic Wall Clock calibrates itself to the world's most accurate clock by receiving radio time signals.

Near Far Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A modern beauty...well designed... nice features...proximity sensor, very cool...perfect for an office or a well lit place....
I'm returning mine - I bought this one for the bedroom so that I could have the time and temperature at a glance - unfortunately, in order to do that I would need to turn on the lights - which defeats the purpose of having an electronic digital clock - if I have to turn on the lights I might as well look at my grandfather clock....disappointing from that aspect.
Oh yes...it has a small light...if you push the snooze button...inconvenient...
So, if you want this clock make sure that you use it in an area with lots of light.

This weather clock provides the data you need to plan your day - including weather forecast, precise Atomic time, day, indoor temperature and outdoor temperature with trend indicator. Instead of displaying all information at the same time, this smart weather clock uses motion sensor technology to detect how close you are to the device before displaying select information. The current time, day and weather forecast display in large digits and icons when you are far away from the weather clock. As you approach the unit, the Weather In Motion switches to showing the indoor and outdoor temperature readings, while the time and weather forecast icons automatically reduce in size. You can also set to auto "scroll" mode and the display will smoothly shift the information every five seconds.

Oregon Scientific Rm313pa Exactset Fixed Projection Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Most of my life I've had early shifts for my occupation (i.e. being into work at 6:00 am or earlier). I used to have a clock that didn't have a battery backup nor did it keep the correct time. I saw this model clock that had both plus the time projection on the ceiling so my wife didn't have to try to roll me over to see the clock, so I decided to give it a try. The clock looks a bit futuristic, but that is its function. The exact time feature is great. I set the houses clocks to it whenever the power goes out, which is regularly (where in a rural town). The battery backup is another great feature that I've never had prior to this. The only drawbacks that I have with the clock is that in order to project the time on the ceiling so that you can read it on a decent angle, is to turn the clock so that you can't the time on its face. You either get to see the one on the ceiling or you get the face of the clock, not both. Another drawback is the buttons on the clock don't make much sense when you need to program the alarm. Once you know the buttons to push, its easy, but they aren't marked well. Hope this review is helpful for you.

Oregon Scientific Weather Station 500 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Looks and works like advertised - I'm very happy with it! Nice large easy to read numbers, and an arrow button to toggle through the three available remote monitors, of which it comes with one included. (I ordered an additional one and both work fine.) Quality seems good, and no complaints so far after approx. 1 month of use. The lighted display comes in handy to illuminate all the readings when surrounding room lights are off, and stays on for approx. 5~6 seconds when the light button is pushed. The main reason I bought this one is for the outdoor humidity sensor, in which I had a cheaper brand before that didn't last long at all.

Equity by La Crosse SkyScan 86709 Atomic Wall Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received a similar (but not identical) SkyScan clock from Sams Club about 1.5 years ago. It's worked great up until last week. The outside temperature sensor stopped working. I replaced the batteries and that didn't seem to help. After contacting Eddie at Impact Merchandising (the distributor of SkyScan products) he emailed me with a fix. What you have to do is take out the batteries from both the clock and the temp sensor. Leave them out for AT LEAST 15 minutes. Then make sure you place new fresh batteries in the temp unit first. Then place new batteries in the clock. (DO NOT TRY TO SET THE TIME OR PRESS ANY BUTTONS ON THE CLOCK). Place the two units 3-5 feet apart. You should get a signal within 15 minutes. If not repeat the process once. If that doesn't fix the clock you can purchase a new temp sensor for $5 directly from them. Their contact info is :

Effective and informative, this SkyScan atomic wall clock from Equity by La Crosse keeps users abreast of the precise time. The clock\'s built-in antenna receives radio signals from the United States Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado and automatically resets the time according to these transmissions.

The clock features a simple, silver rectangular frame that is equipped for both wall hanging and tabletop placement. On its 2-1/5-inch-high LCD screen, the clock conveys time by the hour, minute, and second in jumbo-sized digits for easy readability, great for those with limited eyesight. An AM/PM notification informs of morning or evening hours. To express the date, the clock displays the month and day in the lower left corner of the screen, while the abbreviation of the day of the week is posted in the lower center. The lower right corner reports the indoor temperature to the tenth of a degree; the user selects between Celsius and Fahrenheit readings. For operation, the clock requires two AA alkaline batteries. A limited one-year warranty covers this item. The clock measures 8-3/5 inches wide by 1 inch deep by 9-1/5 inches high. The clock weighs 2 pounds upon shipping.

Oregon Scientific BAR208HGA Advanced Weather Station with Atomic Time Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've only had this weather station for a week, but I already love it. Very easy to use. Had it setup in a couple of minutes. Sensor reception is excellent. I mounted the sensor on the back wall of our house next to a window. The station is located on the lowest level of our house (partially underground) with several walls between it and the sensor and they work perfect. The unit has an excellent back light that is orange in color like a midsummer sunset and illuminates the entire screen well.
The only slight disappointment for me is the poor reception for the Atomic clock signal. I am located on the east coast in eastern PA and with the unit in the lower level of the house on the east side, it just doesn't receive the signal. Not a huge deal, I just set the clock manually. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a well rounded unit that provides a nice amount of data for a great price.

La Crosse Technology WS-7014CH-IT Wireless Forecast Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this station about 6 months ago. It was very easy to set up, and has been working perfectly ever since. Having one reliable atomic clock in the house is useful, as all appliances drift somewhat, and so do mechanical watches. The wireless remote temperature sensor has also been working reliably. I just placed in under a bench on the deck, and it has survived so far (in the wet Seattle climate).
Also, the station has a memory for highest/lowest temperatures (one for the station, one for the remote sensor), which is nice when you want to know exactly how hot/cold it got last night.
I haven't been using the weather forecast much, so I won't comment on it.
I still haven't had to change the batteries (almost 6 months of use by now).
Altogether, I'm very happy with the purchase (less than $35), and would recommend this unit to anyone looking for an inexpensive atomic clock/temperature sensor combo.

Oregon Scientific RMR500ES Clima-Control Solar Powered Climate Monitor and Weather Forecaster with Mold Alert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned an Oregon Scientific thermometer before and I was interested to see if my THR268 sensor would work with this unit. It does, it is not the modern sensor that comes with the unit that displays humidity so that part of the reading is blank but it does display the temperature.
I have a two bedroom apartment and I do try and keep each room at one consistent temperature on top of tracking the temperature outside and this one unit provides a centralized location for me to check each room's temperature throughout the day.
With the cold weather here in Washington causing static electricity within the apartment, I was able to track the humidity percentage in the main room after putting on a pot of water. Works like a charm!
The weather picture indicator isn't always accurate but that seems so minimal compared to the reason why I purchased the unit and it provides a good laugh or paniced pause when it says that it snowing and it isn't.
The package comes with several colorful indicator labels that simply click into the hard plastic screen (you either use the ones that are provided or you write your own). A battery is provided for power back-up to the rechargeable battery that is also provided. I received the unit while it was raining so it took me a few days before I could put it outside but once a non-rainy overcast day came, I left it out all day and I haven't had to recharge it since. Also in the box was one sensor that you put outside and another to put in a room that displays the temperature and humidity percentage on the sensor as well as the main unit indicator; the main unit also displays the sensors battery level. You can have up to four sensors and if you don't have four sensors, the bottom two areas can be used for date and time. The instructions said it could take up to 24 hours to receive the time from Colorado but it was accurate within seconds. The main unit numbers are large and could be read by someone who might need larger print.
I purchased this item blind back in October, no reviews only my trust in the manufacture, and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Maverick R-395 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Radio with Atomic Alarm Clock (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Maverick R-395 to replace a Oregon Scientific BARM699 Touch-Controlled AM/FM Radio Alarm Clock with Weather, which I found very underwhelming. The Maverick has a constant back light, better radio reception and is much easier to operate. On the negative side, the readout is a little fuzzy, the back light shines through case by the speaker and I think the back light color being based on the outdoor temperature is a little silly. I live in Minnesota, it's going to be blue 8 months out of the year.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Maverick R-395 Color-Coded LCD Weather Station and AM/FM Radio with Atomic Alarm Clock (Silver)

The LCD backlight remains on continuously once the unit is powered by an external adaptor and is displayed in Red when the outdoor temperature is higher or equal to 75.2°F, Amber for temperatures between 50.2°F to 75°F, or Blue for outdoor temperatures lower than or equal to 50.0°F. This clock can be powered by 4-AA batteries or with its included A/C adaptor and is designed as a free-standing unit only and cannot be wall mounted.You'll appreciate both the absolute accuracy and convenient features of the Maverick R395 atomic clock radio. For the time format, you can select 12-hour with PM, or 24-hour. Successful reception of the time-synchronization radio signal is indicated by a radio tower and waves icon above clock seconds. You can select/change your continental U.S. time zone (EST, CST, MST, or PST) at any time by means of a button on the left side of the clock. If you live in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time (Arizona and parts of Indiana) you can select the DST/TIME ZONE and +/- buttons to disable DST.The indoor and outdoor temperature can be displayed in either °F or °C, and both the temperature unit and the 12-/24-hour time format can be changed at any time during normal operation simply by pressing buttons on the left side of the clock. The measuring range of the remote sensor is -58°F to +158°F (-50°C to +70°C), the range of the indoor temperature is -4°F to +158°F (-20°C to +70°C).You can use the SLEEP function to let the radio lull you to sleep. The radio turns off after your preselected time, which can be 10 to 120 minutes. You can turn the radio off by pressing SNOOZE or RADIO ON/OFF. The R395 clock operates on AC120V, 60Hz house current and uses a 4-AA batterys (not included) as a power backup during ac power outages or when unplugged. The battery compartment is on the bottom of the clock. Expected battery life depends on the frequency and duration of power outages or unplugged periods.

Chaney Instrument Wireless Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recieved this weather station for my birthday, and overall impressed with the looks, accuracy, and size of display. I have 5 other weather stations to compare readings, and this weather station is dead accurite. Even fallows the local weather station readings to the nearest millibar. It is hard to figure out the P.M.C.E time zones since the switch is integrated in the - button, but once you figure it out its easy. The transmitter workes better that described. Seems to have a stronger range than specified. I have the sensor located at the opposite side of the house through 6 walls, and signals are still good. I am very pleased.

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these at a deep discount at a local store, and it works pretty well aside from one obnoxious issue: if you have it set to automatically sync the time to the atomic clock, the unit sometimes freezes at midnight, and the only way to unfreeze it is to remove the batteries from it and from the outdoor wireless sensors to "reboot" the system. Read on...
When you power up the system for the first time (or after it freezes up), you have to follow a strict procedure: First, make sure all batteries are removed for 60 seconds. Then insert the batteries into the first temperature sensor, then within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into the base unit. If you have additional sensors which I do, as soon as the signal is detected, you have to insert the batteries into the additional sensors within 10 seconds of the previous one. If there are any transmission problems, you have to take out all of the batteries and start over.
You can see how annoying this is to have to do when the unit freezes up on you. I live only an hour or so away from the atomic clock in Boulder that this unit uses to sync the time with, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I found that the only way to avoid the periodic freeze-up of the unit is to turn OFF the setting to automatically sync the time. Others on the web have the same issue, and tech support did not offer me any solutions that worked until I found the solution on my own. I wish the unit would be able to just skip around the issue and continue to work as normal... if it can't find the atomic clock signal for some reason, just skip the sync and continue to operate... no reason to completely freeze up!
Other than that, the unit performs well. It comes with one remote temperature sensor, but you can add up to 3 total (I have two of them). The unit looks nice on my wall... the combination black and stainless steel-look goes well with all of the appliances in my kitchen. Overall, not bad for the price, if you can deal with not having the auto-sync with the atomic clock.
Please see my review of the outdoor sensor that comes with this unit here.

Bundle up for chilly weather or impending rain showers with this WS-7017U wireless forecast station from La Crosse Technology. Using the included TX29U outdoor sensor, the station predicts weather based on the current temperature and barometric pressure. Three weather icons depict sunny, partly cloudy, or rainy conditions, while a tendency arrow indicates barometric shifts. Additionally, the station also features an atomic clock for the exact time and date, measures indoor temperature and relative humidity, and records minimum and maximum temperatures and humidity levels with a time stamp.
The forecast station\'s black and silver receiver has a hanging hook for wall mounting and a detachable stand for upright tabletop display. With eight contrast levels, the LCD screen relays the time, date, forecast information, and current climate. The clock resets daily and automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time via WWVB radio transmissions from the US Atomic Clock. With the four function buttons on the receiver\'s front, the user can select the time zone, manually set the clock, turn off auto DST, choose between 12- or 24-hour and Fahrenheit or Celsius displays, and view MIN/MAX recordings. The receiver measures indoor relative humidity from 1 to 99 percent and indoor temperature from 14.2 to 139.8 degrees F. Outside, the remote sensor evaluates temperatures from -39.8 to 139.8 degrees F. The sensor transmits to the receiver at a 915 MHz frequency from up to 330 feet away unobstructed. For accurate readings, mount the sensor out of direct rain or sunlight. Four separately purchased AA batteries are required. Covered by a limited one-year warranty, the forecast station\'s receiver measures 4-1/4 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches deep by 8-3/4 inches high and its sensor measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 5/6 inch deep by 5 inches high.

La Crosse Technology WS-8117U-IT-C Digital Wall Clock, with Temperature and Moon Phase Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this clock for a month now, and it works great. After setting the clock, it took about 2 days to receive the signal from the time laboratory in Colorado. I purchased the model with the cherry finish and the finish looks high quality. Goes perfectly with the cherry cabinets in my office. The outside temperature sensor is very accurate. Always within +/- 1F of weather.com. I had no problems installing the outside temperature sensor (attached to siding under my covered porch). Several reviewers mentioned the counter-intuitive moon phase display (the shaded graphic display represents that part of the moon that's exposed to the sun vs. using the unshaded graphic to represent this)so I had no problem adjusting to this because I was already forwarned. I definitely would recommend this clock.
