Customer Reviews

Baro is useless up high

Review by Stephen!, 2010-08-20

As with most weather prediction devices, this unit relies on barometric pressure to calculate its prediction. Unfortunately the baro correction only allows a very narrow band of -160' to +3940' MSL. If you live outside this band (-160'? Really??? People actually *live* in Death Valley?) then the barometric pressure will always be wrong. I've had this unit for nearly a year now and it has never shown anything other than "Thunderstorm" as its prediction. Never. Customer "service" at La Crosse was less than stellar. Their response? "It's only a prediction." without any regard to the ridiculously narrow elevation band and what it does to the barometric reading.

On the other hand, if you want an expensive indoor/outdoor thermometer (one that actually seems to be reasonably accurate at least down well below -20°F) then by all means, place your order.

Excellent weather station.

Review by B. Lawrence, 2010-03-14

I've owned this weather station for a while and it's been a pleasant piece of the home. The background is a color print, but it looks much more attractive than a plain black LCD display. The weather information has been accurate for both inside and outside via the radio controlled outside unit (mount in a dry place [mine is mounted under the garage overhang] and within 50 feet of the base unit). It was relatively easy to setup and use. I like the multiple functions such as atomic clock (works!), alarm, and the variable lighting display (low, high, auto [works according to how dark or light it is in the room] and off with a one-touch button for a 10-second display). Setting the proper altitude will give you more accurate pressure readings and forecasts (search the internet for quick reference to your altitude). Very happy with my weather station!

Indoor/outdoor weather station

Review by Woody W. Newman, 2010-01-21

Really a nice weather station, very attractive and provides temperature in and out, humidity and weather conditions. The automatic clock is also nice.

Not reliable

Review by bad taste, 2010-01-12

I run this unit without the five suggested batteries. It runs on just 120VAC, but it constantly loses the correct time, stops scanning the remote transmitter, and is constantly forecasting only storms or rain. I can see the batteries preventing the loss of time, but when the time is reset, it often loses time again almost immediately. I do not think it is acceptable for every blip in my house current to cause the unit to reset.

BAD

Review by RGS, 2010-01-07

To start with their really not color,considering they are a Wisconsin co where we are in the cold five months out of the year! they would have a weather station that works past -4F !! The instructions cleary state it will go blank after that and it does!! the humidy reading on the censor will freeze up in the cold usally with in minutes, Ive tried three different ones more of the same! all of this from a cold weather Co! And to top it all of it has to small of a screen 2.5 x4 inch!! Might be good in warm weather but its still over priced should be no higher than 9.99!!
