Portable Weather Station

Reviews

don't even bother, material is cheap and not worth it I would gone to the movies with what I spent on this thing and it would be more fun.

We love this clock. I wish you could turn off the temperature reading and simply do the clock but overall, very happy.

While you can't be too visually impaired to read this clock, the size of the projected display can, to some extent, be adjusted, though like everyone says it could be brighter - your bedroom has to be quite dark to see it well. I love watching the outdoor temperature progression through the night, it's nice having one clock that two people can easily read, and I like that the time is synchronized with the Denver atomic clock.

I bought this clock for my wife for christmas, and it was a good choice. The projection to the ceiling is a nice feature, and is clear enough when the room is dark. It is a bit odd that you have to turn the clock face away from you to orient the projection to the readable position. Programming the local time can be a little tricky too, as the clock bases its time on a reading from the world clock. The thermometer is a nice perk also. The remote sensor works fine.

I bought this clock in addition to another projection clock from Oregon Scientific so I could take the the more basic one on vacation with me. This one had the outside temperature in addition to the time. I did have a little issue getting it on daylight savings time, but after that it seemed to work very well. The temperature seemed to take a while to stabilize, and it does seem to measure to the high side, but all-in-all, it works extremely well. The projection size of the digits are a little smaller but more precise than the Oregon Scientific but what a great device that allows you to see the time and temperature without twisting and squinting. I took a fall a few years back and am in a wheelchair making this a near necessity, especially on vacation. I would recommend these clocks to everyone.

It's been just what I expected. I've had it for two months now and have no complaints.

The item arrived very shortly! It's a great clock. Contemporary look, great functionality. I bought them for my home office and they suits to this purpose very well. Time, thermometers and moon phase are very accurate. I love this clock! For this price you can't get anything better. Highly recommended!

I bought this as a gift for my parent's lake home. They absolutely love it. The information is always accurate, and the outdoor transponder has worked great. There have been no problems with this product. The moon phase is a little counter-intuitive, but once you get used to it, the unit is easy to interpret.

We love this atomic clock. I bought it for my husband for his birthday in January. It was easy to hook up, etc. and seems to be very accurate. Very handy to have in the kitchen.

Gave as a gift and was recently told it wont pick up the exterior temperature. I have tried new batteries and resetting it, but nothing. Nice look, but not working.

This is a newer version of a weather station that served me well for a dozen years. In fact, that older weather station still works, but the outdoor sender died. So, I thought I would order this model, and its sender would feed data to both the old indoor unit and this new indoor unit. Great theory, as the picture on Amazon has 433mhz clearly stamped on the front of the indoor unit. But that is incorrect. This unit comes with the 915mhz sender, as the text describing the unit clearly states. But rather than send it back, I kept it because it works so well and looks so good and is priced so low, as these things go. The old unit went into a drawer as I hate to throw away anything that still works.

This item was too narrow in viewing for our choice. We really had to view closely to read and not be distracted by the frame. Of course, us old folks like to see the "big picture" on everything!

This was my first product from LaCrosse Technology, and am completely satisfied. I'm a weather bug and have been for 50 years, and I watch what type of products I purchase and from whom.

This item looks like the picture. However, my husband did not like it because he thought that the numbers were too small to read. (without glasses)

This is a great little thermometer, barometer, clock, calendar, forecast machine. My only complaint is that it takes too long to update. Example: there are black clouds above my house and the icon still shows "sunny and clear", with the barometer arrow up, after about an hour, it will show the barometer dropping and clouds. Still love it though.

I should have read the reviews on the Model 3307 a very similar model and heeded them. But, thinking the 3308 was a debugged upgrade I made my second mistake and purchased it. It's one thing to spend ten dollars on a marginal item and quite another to spend a hundred. Like so many of the 3307s I got five days use out of mine before it too morphed into useless gadgetry and became high rent clutter.

Love this film. Brings back great memories of our childhood & hope to share it with our own family one day. This product was delivered expeditiously and in wonderful condition.

I love this movie! It's much better than the first American Tail movie. I am so glad I get to share this with my children! They have watched it almost non-stop since I received it! I wish that there were more animated movies like this one available more often!

I enjoyed all 4 movies of An American Tail on DVD. I was wondering about Fievel's Americans Tails. Fievel's American Tails is an animated television series produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio, Nelvana, and Universal Cartoon Studios. It aired for one season in 1992, and continued Fievel's adventures from the 1991 film An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. It should a 2-disc set, containing all 13 episodes. Disc 1 1. Fievel, the Lonesome Ranger 2. Law and Disorder 3. Little Mouse on the Prairie 4. The Gift 5. A Case of the Hiccups 6. The Legend of Mouse Hollow 7. Babysitting Blues Disc 2 8. The Lost Mother Lode 9. A Mouse Known as Zorrowitz 10. Mail Order Mayhem 11. Aunt Sophie's Visit 12. That's What Friends are For 13. Bell the Cats. Please look into releasing Fievel's American Tails on DVD, or download all 13 episodes on iTunes, Universal Pictures!

This is my favorite Fievel movie, the dream of tanya becoming a singer and his best friend tiger finding love and sticking out for his little friend not matter what.! the whole storie is so good,..kids and adults can enjoy it.

I received my DVD very quickly and in great condition. I would definately recommend this seller! I was very pleased!

Quite simply the best version of Rocky 1 ever made. This version has extended scenes that you do not get with the regular Rocky. This is a must have for anyone who loves the Rocky Series. Even if you have Rocky 1 you should still get the special edition version.

I would think this has to be possibly the best movie ever and so rated as #1 when any discussions of such movies comes up. Its the only movie I come back to see again and again. I think I have seen it six times to date. It has excellent lines throughout, and also has excellent music. It has a humble atmosphere throughout, setting up the next 5 Rocky movies; where Rocky fights with complacent attitude, because of money and fame. Big budget films have an atmosphere of a spoiled director and actors, writers etc, and obviously after seeing this, one can see the difference. A humble movie with powerful lines and creativity, by a writer (Stallone) who at the time had maybe $200 to his name, and lived in a roach infested apt. turns out to be the best movie of all time.

Well they say the first is always the best , and in this case that is the story here.The old rags to riches story but in this case the film ends on a good note where Rocky does not win the title but ends up a winner in every other aspect.Great performances from Burgess Meredith and Carl Weathers and not forgetting Burt Young as Paulie.For a publicity stunt the world champion Apollo Creed decides to give a unknown a shot at the title , with nearly disasterous results for him at the end of the film.A great performance by Stallone where he also wrote the script , done on a budget the film raked in millions and made a star out of him.I have all the Rocky films but rate this and Rocky 2 as the best.From Rocky 3 on they sort of lost there way a bit , I would rate 3 , 4 and 5 with 3 stars and Rocky Balboa with 4 as they went back more to the grass roots with this film which I liked.

I really like the original Rocky movie. I forgot how amazing the writing is. I mean, come on- it's about a boxer who has to compete in the biggest match of his life thus far in his young and already pretty beat-up career. How can you make a great storyline out of a rather lackluster idea? By having the story focus significantly on the boxers life, and by featuring a steady and quiet storyline build-up to please those of us who love a good drama, and even include a charming quality in the atmosphere along with great character development by everyone involved in the film. Sylvester Stallone may be the main character, but all the other characters are equally terrific. It's nice to have some variety. The portion of the film dealing with Rocky getting to know Adrian was well-executed, and perhaps even better than the boxing match itself. Absolutely great writing material. Adrian is such a shy woman, in fact, more shy than I've EVER seen a woman before, and that kind of personality appeals to me personally. This is the film where we learn about all the characters that would make more appearances and play major parts in future Rocky movies. Most of the movie focuses on getting to know the characters, and less on the fight itself (even the dramatic build-up to the fight was short and sweet). The boxing match itself was fun to watch, though I wish the writers would have included a bit more of the match itself, instead of skipping ahead several rounds. I won't reveal who won the fight, but you might get the same impression I did over who really won the fight based on the amount of material we see. So yeah, the film is obviously dated a bit, Sylvester Stallone is quite young here, the movie does a tremendous job showing viewers what it's like to wander down the dark, empty streets of Philadelphia in the middle of the night, and this movie is just the beginning of what would deservedly become a classic film series over the years.

You have to give Sylvester Stallone credit for writing himself a starring vehicle, and then getting it made. He also more or less created the "Sports Underdog Triumphs In The End" genre. That said, that fact that this embarrassingly over-acted film beat out ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, BOUND FOR GLORY, NETWORK and TAXI DRIVER for the Best Film of 1976 is absolutely mind-boggling, and becomes more so with each passing year. Strictly for Sly fans, and anyone who wonders what was in The Academy's drinking water that year ...

Good price for this product. It replaces an older unit from a different company that had died and refused to stop beeping regardless of the battery that was put in it. I assume that if I do not die in my sleep from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning, the unit works as it should. If I do die in my sleep because it failed, I'll figure out how to update this review from the great beyond. Wish me luck!

Had an alarm located near the kitchen using the ionization technology. It was driving me crazy with false alarms. I couldn't even use the toaster without the thing going into full panic, necessitating me having to leave my food preparations and charge around to silence the alarm. The unit lasted only a year...no surprise under the circumstances. While researching for a replacement I came to realize that the photoelectric technology would more likely be better for said location. Plus, I found that it was wise to use both types in the home. Since getting this alarm, I have had no false alarms while cooking and now have the satisfaction of having both types, since the ionization ones are in other areas of the home. Now, if this one just works when there is a true kitchen alert needed, I'm all set.

Within 2 months of installing the alarm began intermittently emitting the "3 chirps" alarm, which means that the unit is bad and must be replaced. Very annoying and a waste!

I bought two of these last year. Within a few months, we started getting false alarms. Three chirps in a row. Sometimes they would stop on their own. Other times, I would have to take them down, take out the batteries, and hang it up again later. Each time, I tested the batteries. Each time, they were fine. I ever replaced the batteries a couple of times, just to be sure. Don't buy these. They'll drive you to drink.

Like other reviews mine starting chirping saying to replace the alarm after only a month or two. I didn't bother calling to get a replacement. I tried to get an inexpensive smoke / co detector and got burned by a crappy product - ironic...

This is an excellent product if you want to store one handgun with one clip. As most people have mentioned, the battery is a little difficult to get in but it's not impossible. I use the AC adaptor but also use the batteries as a backup. It is very easy to program and my wife feels a lot more secure now that we have a baby on the way. It's easy to conceal and you can mount it if you deem necessary. Would definitely recommend this product as I looked at many different gun safes and this had the best reviews (and they proved correct).

Good weight and sturdy feel to this safe. Tried the combination 30 times fast and opened flawlessly. Even did it in the dark and had no problems. I agreed with another reviewer about practicing every day until you feel confident of a quick and accurate access every time. I ordered this (the small) safe for my 357mag and only that with one box of 50ct rounds fits comfortably but thats ok and what I wanted. Can be mounted or stowed away is small spaces and is nice for travel in car trunk. The claim is that it can't be opened with hand tools and I have not tried to (because if I destroy it I'm out $100 plus) but "seems" that a good crowbar "might" with a little elbow grease get it open. If TOTAL security is what you want then a "real" safe is what you want but then you lose the quick portability that caused you to consider one of these.

I bought the GV2000 on 4-22-09. As of 01-10-10, it fails to lock. I dropped a 50 round box of 9mm ammo on it from about 8 inches by accident and the door popped open. I thought that perhaps I did not get the door latched properly but after securing the door I could smack the top of the vault with an open hand to spring the door open. My unit was still under warranty and the company has sent a replacement. However, my confidence in the product is shaken. The gun vault appears to work correctly, door latches and opens with keypad. If I had not found the defect by accident, who would have, one of my children? How long has it been defective without me being none the wiser? Now after reading the reviews here, I hope my replacement is not one of the ones that eats batteries. The batteries in mine have lasted over 8 months. In hindsight, I should have went ahead and spent the extra money on small safe that can be programmed to open by swiping a card or biometrics.

Just picked one of these up, so I don't have any long term opinions yet but I wanted to comment on the batteries. People complain that the batteries are hard to get in and out, but really its no big deal at all. You just pull back the top foam and have to unscrew 2 small nuts to get the battery holder off. Put a small mirror inside and you'll see how its set up. Once you understand what you're dealing with its a breeze. I've seen a youtube video where the guy just raps on the door with his knuckle and it opens. I tried that and it certainly doesn't work on mine. The safe comes set to the code 1234 and then you can just change it to your liking. Its opened first try every time. The keys are slightly mushy when you push them. A more definite action would be nice, but this is a small nit pick. The keys beep when you press them, but you can also turn the beep off. Because of the semi-mushiness of the keys and the fact that you sometimes aren't sure whether you officially pressed it or not I'll probably leave the beep on. Overall it looks like a great small safe. If you're need more space then for 1 gun and some clips though I'd probably get the next size up with the shelf.

Very happy with the product. Good service from the supplier. Not completely burglar proof, but very secure in a home environment. Works as advertised.

Used for a couple years, mainly only the flashlight. Purchased in 2005 and flashlight just quit working a couple months ago. Do not see where bulb or battery can be replaced. All other functions still work I would assume.

I bought this for my son in law a couple of years ago and it has proved itself over and over again. It's everything you need in an emergency, and my grandkids thinks it is a life saver, they don't like sitting in the dark.

This is a toy for picnics and occasional short-term (30 minute) power outages. DO NOT bet your safety on the "StormStation." Shop around. There are far more reliable and practical products for the money. In the meantime, Black & Decker should either discontinue this product or sell it for a vastly-reduced price with a disclaimer that it is not for actual emergencies. Again, DO NOT bet your or your family's safety on this product.

I gave the storm station as a birthday gift to a relative in Arkansas. The family was so impressed by the gift they called me and said it came just in time to alert them of an oncoming storm. Every outlet worked perfectly, the light it gave them when the power went out was incredible. They felt so much better and safer having the StormStation during their frequent power outages. Fantastic buy for the money

Given that this is meant to provide back up service in case of an emergency you'd expect it to be reliable. It failed after 1 year of service. In other words after a year of sitting around do nothing. It now does even less

Worked fine for a year or so, not very accurate, but worked. It has recently stopped picking up the signal from the sensor. Very annoying that Oregon Scientific has such poor customer support. It's almost impossible to get help. Not sure other manufacturers are any better, but I wouldn't buy this again.

This was a very nice choise, was a present to my son and still every day he looks and tanks me saying that it works very well.

Works well and is easy to set up. But don't drop it. I did and the screen cracked so this is the second one I ordered!

I searched high and low for a middle of the road weather station, one that was not to expensive but yet not to cheap. I was looking for indoor and outdoor temps with outdoor humidity and so the fact that this unit provides indoor humidity as well was a bonus. Set up was pretty easy as well. I have tried the outdoor sensor in two different locations and have had no problem with it.

I have been using this weatherstation for about a month now and am happy with everything it does. The features I find the most valuable are the large size of the temperature and humidty numbers, the accuracy of all the displayed information, and forecasts. On the overall It is better than I expected and certainly priced right. The only negative I can think of is the fact that it can't be mounted on the wall but I was aware of that when I bought it.

I was tired of craning my neck in bed to see the time and purchased the Oregon Scientific self-setting clock for the projection feature. I was so pleased with its performance I immediately purchased another clock as a replacement in my office. I have subsequently purchased six more clocks, which I gave as gifts. I heartily recommend this wonderful product. John C. Hughes Las Vegas, NV

This clock is okay for the price, but the model we received doesn't have a working backlight on the front display. I tried contacting the company through the email address on their website, but it came back as undeliverable. For me, it's not worth the trouble to try to send back to Amazon to exchange for another one, and I'm just using it for the time projection, so I'm using it as-is. Based on other reviews I've read, though, it's not uncommon to get a defective unit, so keep that in mind.

I been using this alarm clock for 2 years now and I have no complaints about it. Doesn't go out of time, it synchronizes itself. It projects the time in big red numbers in the ceiling so when I wake up in the middle of the night all I have to do is look up and I know the time. The alarm is annoying enough to wake me up (that's a good thing) and the snooze button gives me 8 more minutes of sleep, lol. Also it tells the temperature. Really good alarm clock!

This clock was given to me as a gift about 5 1/2 years ago. It has worked just fine all that time until about 6 months ago when the LED lights for the projection apparatus started going out...we have to guess at the minutes now, and the hour is also starting to go. For the money, however, it worked well for 5 years.

I ordered this only for the projection clock. It works exactly as described. I would absolutely purchase again.
