 Looks nice, works well February 2, 2006
Tech Nut (Ann Arbor, MI)

Have had it for a couple weeks so far. Setup was a snap. Immediately picked up a signal and set itself. Have checked it periodically against NIST time. Has remained accurate to within seconds (so far). The rim is a dull silver that nicely picks up ambient colors. The mechanism protrudes from the back so the clock sits about an inch or so from the wall.

Good quality. FAST Amazon service (as usual). Great price.
I manually set the clock a few minutes slow and left it alone. By the next morning, it was correct to the very second. (I am a time nut). What's not to like?
 Takes 4-5 days to 'automatically' adjust Daylight Savings March 15, 2007

unbelievable, but true. you have to wait 4 or 5 days for this 'atomic' clock to adjust to daylight savings. during that time, you have to put up with having the wrong time on your clock. Here is their explanation..

 La Crosse Replaced Clocks with Bad DST March 17, 2007
Tech Guy (Boston, MA)

The face is made of paper and is poorly glued on causing ripples and warping.
Although under normal cirumstances it receives a signal and adjusts to the signal properly, IT DOES NOT ADJUST FOR DST, thus making the clock virtually useless now. If you live in other time zones other then EST, you could at least choose a different time zone to compensate; if you live in the EST time zone you are SOL. Other than the DST issue clock has been very accurate.
Update: La Crosse sent out new clocks to replace the ones that did not adjust for DST because of the new date changes. Any company that does this is tops in my book. Changing rating to four stars.
Lacrosse Technologies Equals Hideous Service January 29, 2006
Wm H. Mitchell Jr. (Beaumont, Texas)

We have a Model 2315 weather station from Lacrosse Technologies that worked for us for a couple of days, and then stopped working. We tried calling their help line, beginning 1/20/06, and it's true they tried to call us back 1/24/06, but I was unable to take the call at that moment. I called back a couple of times that same day and have yet to hear back from them. Pretty pitiful service! I tell anyone who's interested not to buy anything from Lacrosse Technologies.
One reason I'm so irate is that their help line seems to be designed to infuriate their customers. In the early stages of a call, the caller is given the option of leaving a message or waiting for the next available service person. Then, after investing maybe ten minutes of one's valuable time waiting, it cuts you off and forces you to leave a message (which might be answered a couple of days later, but likely not).
