3 out of 5 stars Guys and weather radios....   October 10, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I don't know what it is about weather tools, buy guys love them. I bought this because I believed it was a good deal and instead of watching the weather channel, I figured that this would give me a more localized weather forecast as it says that it can determine the weather around you for the next 12 hours. The temperature is accurate, but a lot of times it says heavy rain when it is sunny and there is not a cloud in the sky. Sinking the device was a little challenging for whatever reason, but once working everything is fine. Overall it is a neat little affordable gadget, but not very accurate if you are dependent on the accuracy of its weather forcasts.


1 out of 5 stars does not reach   July 17, 2008

I have out this all over the outdoors and it still does not work. It cindicted out of sunlight, no doors or walls, yet outside to read the temparature. It still does not work for the outside temperature.


2 out of 5 stars Inside great - outside temp unreliable   July 17, 2008
I bought this have at work and planned on buying a second eventually to replace my similar functioning unit at home. This unit setup quickly and gives a nice display of time/date/internal temp, but the external receiver is unreliable. I haven't even placed the second unit outside and it is losing signal needing a reset a couple of times a day - from five feet away! I wish I had tried it sooner and not thrown out the packaging as I would return it if I had.


1 out of 5 stars Incorrect dimensions   April 29, 2008

It says on the website --
Product Dimensions: 10.2 x 4 x 9.2 inches

The actual thing is much smaller, only 5" x 4" x 3" and not wall-mountable.

Everything else is fine though.



4 out of 5 stars Pretty good   March 18, 2008

My only complaint with this is that it seems to lose the signal for the outside temperature frequently. Other than that, I think it works very well.

Worth noting: I thought that it was wall-mountable. It is NOT. There is a large plastic base built in that makes wall-mounting impossible.

Bottom line: Great for the price
