La Crosse Technology Advanced Weather Station with Full-Color LCD & Atomic Time - Monitor Indoor/Outdoor Conditions with Temperature Alerts and Humidity Readings with Transmission Range of 300 Feet

Very good so far

I am a science geek and own a lot of thermometers. I have an accurate indoor thermometer next to this one to compare the indoor readings. And I have an accurate wired outdoor probe thermometer to compare the outdoor readings. I also use the Weatherbug 6 portable for windows application from which I can check 5 local stations. Weatherbug 6.0 is way better than the WB 10. WB 6 shows all the weather info in one window. And it shows temps to tenths of a degree. Which WB 10 does not. I use AdMuncher so I see zero ads. What is great about WB is it shows live temps when you mouse over the app. Here is a screen cap of v10 and v6 [...] v6 is on the left. v10 is terrible as you can see. Look at v6 on the left. Right above the wind speed is the update time. When you move your mouse over this area, it updates. If you keep move the mouse back and forth constanly, you get updated temps every 2 seconds! You can still get v6 at Cnet! It is 6.07 which is what I have. It may try to install toolbars during install. Careful. You can uncheck them download.cnet.com/WeatherBug/3640-2381_4-10551032-14.html?v=1 So anyway, as far as I can tell, this La Cross is very accurate. At least mine is. I have a lot to compare to. I don't know if you had 2 of these whether they would read the same. Accuracy may vary with temperature too. It may be more accurate at certain temp ranges than others. Best to use lithium batteries for the remote sensor. Especially in cold weather. Make sure that the sensor is mounted in the shade and is not exposed to rain. It is water resistant, not water proof. Mine has never lost sync. It shows full signal. Sensor is about 25ft away. I am still trying to figure out how often the remote send a signal. I know it is at least every three minutes. Mine has not connect to the time server yet. It probably can't where it is positioned. It is a shortwave band and would connect better at night. I don't like the forecast box. I wish it would just report the barometric pressure. So to sum it up, I am very satisfied with this. Accuracy is very good. This is the most accurate wireless thermometer I have ever owned. Display is very large and colorful. Horizontal (side) viewing angles are very good. Vertical viewing angles are not good. If anyone has a question, feel free to leave a comment. I will probably update and revise this review a few times.

GREAT FOR THE PRICE!!

For about $40, its a great little unit with a nice display. I was a little reserve on ordering the product as I have read all the bad reviews. I seems to be fairly accurate, not going to say fully accurate but I have only have my phone to compare it to, and its always been within a couple degrees considering the airport to about 7 miles away which does the reporting. As far as the remote sensor, I was even more apprehensive because I wanted to use this in my shop which has steel walls and a cell phone signal even has a hard penetrating the walls. My remote sensor is about 40' away and never had a problem with it communicating with the base. I would assume the sensor is NOT fully water tight as per the instructions say to locate it where rain cannot directly get to it. I just used a zip tie under an eve of the house which seemed to work great. The atomic clock has not once lost its signal or lost time, which I've had other brands do. Some people seem to think that this has a picture on the display of the forecast, which is wrong. Its merely telling you the current barometric pressures. Sunny and flowers is high pressure, clouds and lightning is low pressure, its not a reflection of what the weather is doing outside. The display is bright, colorful, and easy to read... kind of.. I have this unit on a table and can read it fine either sitting or standing, harder to read the display from the side to side angles, or if you are down lower than the unit itself. Must be plugged in to see the display, but does have battery backup so you dont have to redo the setup. The setup itself was really easy as well. Ive had this unit for about 5 months.

Great unit for temps, humidity and many other features

- add 2 batteries for the wireless outside sensor - add 3 batteries for the main unit - plug in the AC power adapter, 5V If you only use the batteries, the unit powers down its brightness after 10 seconds and you can hardly see anything. You must plug it in and also add 3 batteries as backup and then you can adjust the brightness. I love this unit. Accurate temperature and humidity readings. Love you can set it your time zone, day light savings and its an atomic based clock. I wanted something new and colorful and not cheap. This delivers. Update: I've had this weather station for 8.5 years and it finally started failing. It was the last year or two having remote sensor issues, changing the batteries multiple times a year, re syncing multiple times and the battery display is always low now. So I bought a new remote sensor. I shopped around and new weather stations haven't changed much in 8.5 years. FINAL UPDATE: It wasn't the new outdoor sensor or new batteries. The base unit receiving the outdoor sensor signal stopped working properly and now has died. I will be buying another station because it lasted me about 7 years with no issues. The last 1.5 years the base unit wasn't receiving the outdoor sensor signal properly, syncing didn't help and new batteries didn't help. I could be 10 feet from the base unit with the sensor and it went from 5 full bars down to 0 bars. If I did a sync scan, it came back at 12'C and the temp wouldn't change with low battery. The wireless receiver on the base unit started to fail after 7 years and is done after 8.5 years. Not too shappy and I will buy again.

AWESOME Weather station

This is what i want it for a long time!!!! Pros: - Very easy to read information during the day or at night - Works plugged in and also with batteries - Accurate readings most of the time - Easy to follow instructions - 2 AA batteries are required for the sensor - Very cool Animated Forecast background Cons: - None so far Overall we like this unit at home, we are able to see the outdoor and indoor temperatures at a glance. It helps us predict what we can expect for the day!!! I know we all have smartphones and we can get the weather updates that way buy having it hanging on your wall or just displayed on a table makes it so much easier and at the same time looks great. My 6 year learned to tell us the weather on a daily basis, great way to teach your kids My friend thought it was a high end weather station, i mean PRICE wise jajaaja he went ahead and purchased one after checking the price. ****Quick note**** I applied clear tape all around the wireless sensor that is setup outside my door just to prevent any water getting into the unit, BE CAREFUL NOT to tape the actual sensor opening i left that open for obvious reasons!!!
