 Good Looking, but worthless April 8, 2005

This is a nice looking weatherstation with lots of features.
Unfortunately it could not link with the atomic clock, although I am within half of the range - even outdoors.
Also, the humidity indication is woefully inaccurate. The base unit indicated 13%, the remote unit showed 22%, while my calibrated hygrometer measured 36%. I do not have a calibrated thermometer, but at least both showed (nearly) the same temperature.
In summation, it's a nice looking thing, but inaccurate; and for that it is a bit pricy.
Finally, for those who care: although the device can be switched to french & german languages, it does not have a 24 hour clock mode.

I got it cheap during one of those Friday sales and I got it for my parents. It has been 3 weeks now and I am pretty happy with it.
It looks pretty good. So I can put it just about anywhere without shame. The setup was pretty painless. But I did not have the patience to try out the auto/time. It did not seem to work as there may be weak radio signal at our place. The weather report/forecast seems to be accurate, so is the temperate readout.
Good little gadget, me thinks.

I purchased 2 of these, used one as a gift. Fortunately, the gift product worked. The one I saved for myself did not work (the remote device apparently was defective). After communicating with Oregon Scientific, they gave me a RMA number to return the product, which I did at an additional expense of $4.00. That was a couple of weeks ago and I have received/heard nothing since.
Good deal for the money January 24, 2007

I got this on a Friday sale for a very low price. Given that I didn't pay full retail, I am happy with my purchase. I love the fact this is a wireless set. The set up was very easy. Temperature seems to be accurate based on my HVAC unit's reading, and my outdoor thermometer reading. I am not a meteorologist, so precise accuracy isn't essential. I just need to know if it's really cold outside, or really hot, etc....
One disappointment is the forecast feature doesn't seem to work very well. It is showing me sunshine for the next twelve hours, when the weather is predicted to be overcast and rainy as it has been for the last two days. It also showed sunny last night. Maybe this has to do with where I have the outdoor sensor. ? But again, I'm not using this device to plan out my days.
For the money, a great device. I would give it 5 stars if the prediction feature worked.

While it worked, it was great. Unfortunately, remote sensor only lasted 6 months.
