Consumer Evaluations
This unit is easy to read and works great--compared to what, I dunno. We've under no circumstances owned anything like this. But it's fun to have, significantly far more so than a hassle-free thermometer.
Two caveats having said that. You need a rather smaller flat-head screwdriver in order to put the AAA batteries into the sensor. Not so modest as the one in an eyeglass repair kit though. I had a tiny screwdriver with a shirt-pocket clip, that modest, and nevertheless had to file the sides down in order to reach the deeply recessed screws. I'll have to do this anytime the batteries require altering. Not the best design maybe.
Second, the directions tell you to put the (outdoor) sensor (1) in a sight line with the (indoor) monitor-- (two) open to the sky-- (three) out of the sun-- (four) out of the rain-- (5) away from metal-- It's not very easy to do all of this! Ours is nestled in a plastic container cut up into the shape of a bus kiosk and tied to a post. I'm not positive if it's all 100% needed.
The atomic clock took about a day to get its signal. The instructions warn about this odd (to me) likelihood.
It is a tiny discouraging to have to deal with all of this out of the box but as I say the device is terrific.
After comparing this weather station to the more highly-priced ones, I gave in on the great looks of this one and can not say that I'm disappointed. We really like this unit. We check the temperature and the humidity outside just about every day and not when was it inaccurate. The rain predictor is a bit fishy to me, it thinks it really is going to rain 60% of the time when it by no means does. But it beats listening to the climate people today on the news who cannot even tell if it actually is going to snow tomorrow.
The only three troubles that we located with this are 1) it doesn't have a backlight so you cannot see something in the dark two) the time doesn't appear to adjust automatically to our zone and 3) the battery on the remote sensor died in like two months.
Despite these 3 issues, I would decide to buy this unit once more more than all the other individuals at the moment on the industry.
