Portable Weather Station

Reviews

While researching the correct thermometer, I was attracted to the (apparent) interface on this product. I like that the remote sensor displays the temperature but it does so in a font size so small you have to be within 18 inches to read. The main station does not display both indoor temp and outdoor temp at the same time! Bummer. My intent was to be able to glance at this and see what was going on and you have to walk up and toggle the temp mode button to switch between outdoor and indoor. Also, I don't believe the humidity reading is accurate; I had the sensor outside under roof during a summer rain storm and the humidity was < 60% where it clearly should have been ~100%. The bar lights are lame and take up too much display space. Two stars because of all of the above and the fact that I paid double for this than for most other ones.

My husband and I said that we were sure we would really like the Christmas presents we got each other. Imagine my surprise when I opened a wireless weather station. Imagine his surprise when he opened the Taylor Wireless Weather Station with Clock. We decided to keep both and put one in the front and one in the back. Our back yard faces North and has a dry wash behind it where the cold air collects. Our front yard faces South and has been averaging 7 to 10 degrees warmer in the day time and 4 to 5 degrees warmer at night. The Taylor Station has more features and was a little more complicated to set up but the directions were good and it is working fine. We were pleased that we could plug it in to an electrical outlet and not depend just on batteries.

I recieved this as a gift. I like everything about it except the little screws on the back of the remote temp unit are a real pain to get back in to place after you set it up. The functionality of this weather station is great. You can read the temp and humidity on the remote units as well as the main unit. The atomic clock works just fine. I still have to read the manual more to see what all the functions are, but so far everything is just great!

This unit is now 1.5 years old. One thing that stands out on this unit is the blue projection numbers. the blue has a calming impression to it. I love the range of the thermometer. The thermometer is actually stronger than advertized. More like 200 ft through 4 walls and never looses a signal. For some reason the station with age will begin to talk to other themometers, from other companies like Acu-Rite. Its nice to see the time and temp on the celing. I would highly recommend this product for being better than advertized. UPDATED After I wrote the first review, a twist of luck, this unit is now giving me problems. The sensors have issues communicating to the console. And the sensor channel with no sensor. Pops up LL.L. I like --.- better on a channel with no sensors. And sometimes it does this when the other sensors havn't confermed transmition. Who knows were that came from! And the memory give max= HH.H and min= LL.L, so I cant read the highs and lows. If I could change the rating it would be a 2**. Try Oregon Scientific projection units. I have had products from them that have lasted for 3.5 years and are still going.

Seller took way to long to ship. The wireless outdoor thermometer only transmits less than 10 feet, the bases display is very dim and hard to read, and the backlight button is so stiff you have to hold the unit with one hand and then push the button. This is just another poorly designed, Chinese piece of junk.
