For avid outdoorspeople, boaters, or folks who just like to know what to expect, this wireless weather station provides all the stats for planning a day outside. The large 6-1/2-by-1-1/4-by 17-3/4-inch station is shaped like a thermometer and hangs on a wall for easy reading from a distance. The column-shaped LCD is divided into eight areas of information. At the very top of the screen the time is displayed in hours and minutes with the date and day of the week directly below it. A built-in antenna system receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is regulated by the atomic clock, to provide precise timekeeping. Once you install the battery, you can set the clock to one of 13 time zones, including all U.S. times zones and Greenwich Mean Time, and the device will automatically set to the accurate time. The clock even automatically adjusts for daylight savings time, so you never need to remember to move it backward or forward by an hour. Two independent alarm settings with snooze are included for convenience.

The middle of the weather station displays the current moon phase and uses forecast icons (three in total) to show weather predictions for any 12- to 20-hour time period based on changing air pressure. Additionally, the station reports indoor and outdoor relative humidity and temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius for an indoor location and an outdoor area using the included remote sensor. For more accurate outdoor readings, the base unit can receive information from up to three different sensors, which can each be placed up to 80 feet away. The weather station records and displays the minimum and maximum temperature readings within a 24-hour period so you can track the highs and lows. In addition, it has an indoor comfort level indicator, which uses happy or sad face icons to inform you if the temperature is at a comfortable level. The wireless weather station requires two AA batteries for the receiver and another two for the remote and a low-battery indicator on the receiver lets you know when they need replacing. This unit is covered by a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Great to monitor the chicken coop, the root cellar, & outside temps - Reviewed on 2008-12-23

I love this weather station and look at it several times a day. Of course, I live in Vermont where the winter weather will make you take notice even without this additional technological input. I bought this model to get the max-min function and the humidity monitor. I have one probe in my chicken coop and one probe on my porch. So I can tell if the chickens are getting too chilly, monitor how well my coop insulation is performing vs. outside temperatures, and also check humidity in the coop (high humidity with cold temps is a recipe for chicken-comb frostbite). Next, I am going to get an additional probe so I can monitor temperature and humidity in my soon-to-be-constructed root cellar.

I rate it 4 stars instead of five because of design of the interface. The way the labels read on the station is very strange; sometimes you have to read across the thermometer, and other times not. Also, the thermometer gives an unhappy face to the indoor weather conditions in my house. It doesn't think my house is warm enough for human comfort. Well, 63 degrees is warm enough for some of us, thank you very much. I don't need a thermometer telling me whether it's happy. This thermometer clearly need to put on a sweater, or kick in towards the oil bill. :-) Seriously, the information that it is 63 F is all I want from my thermometer. Also, it would be nice if when the temperature is cold, and the pressure is low, to have the cloud putting out snow flakes instead of rain. That would make ME smile.

Dependable - Reviewed on 2008-08-23

I have used this station for about a month now. It has worked perfectly since I received it. I would suggest getting stand alone instruments for wind and rain measurements and a station like this for basic conditions.

Decent product - Reviewed on 2008-07-21

The price wasn't bad since it was 75%+ off MSRP. The install wasn't bad either.

I had trouble to get every sensor to work but that's probably because i did not spent enought ime setting it up.

It gives me outside temperature and that's all i need

Decent product;)

Too Large - Reviewed on 2008-04-28

We were looking for a reliable weather station and picked this because of the price. Purchased on sale for less than $20 this was worth the money. I would not pay the original price for this. It is plastic and VERY LARGE. It has it's place in the back entry way but would not be decorative in view of your guests.

Wall hogging weather station! - Reviewed on 2008-04-04

This Weather monitor could be one quarter the size. It seems to record fairly accurately and the atomic functions well. The battery in the outdoor sensor runs down fast but still transmits 60 feet and through walls ok.
