Weather Light Review

I have a few atomic/weather instruments and this is the first time I tried Oregon Scientific products. When the clock arrived it was packaged very well, either for personal use or as a gift. The clock design is very attractive, and the colors of the display set it off. I purchased it for a bedroom nightstand clock and in that respect I've been slightly disappointed. The reasons for the disappointment are two-fold. The first problem is there is no ajustment for how bright the clock display is, and my wife is constantly complaining how bright it is in the room. The second problem is also annoying, as the brightness "pulses" up and down. It feels like we have an old store neon light in our room as the brightness keeps changing every 15 seconds. I don't know what the purpose of this is but it is annoying. During the day though, the display is harder to see. There are 2 reasons for this, the one is the brightness is not bright enough, the second is there is a very limited point of view. If you move to the right or left of the clock the display becomes limited. If you are right in front of the clock the display is fine, go back 10 feet though and it is hard to make out. Other then these complaints, the quality is fine, it was an easy setup and the remote unit for the weather along with the atomic clock feature worked flawless. Overall, for the money, it is a decent product.

La Crosse Technology Weather Channel WS-9625TWC-IT Wireless Forecast Station with Oscar Outlook Review

Easy set-up. Just insert the batteries in the temp/humidity sensor, then the base unit, as the instructions indicate. They synch up in a moment and you're ready to go. The atomic clock feature is handy for helping to keep the other clocks around the home set more accurately. Also records high/low temps for a given period. If you're looking for an easy-to-use, relatively inexpensive indoor/outdoor wireless thermometer, this unit will do the job nicely.

Be prepared for a cold, wet morning with the help of this forecast station and its virtual weather boy, Oscar. From The Weather Channel by La Crosse Technology, the forecast station monitors indoor conditions for enhanced comfort. It also evaluates outdoor temperatures and air pressure levels, which it employs to forecast the weather, depicted using fifteen different Oscar icons. Oscar serves as a great teaching tool for children as he models weather-appropriate clothing under sunny, partly cloudy, rainy, or snowy skies. With its radio-controlled clock, the forecast station provides precise time, resetting daily to the US Atomic Clock and adjusting automatically for daylight savings time.
The sleek base of the forecasts station wall-mounts or stands alone on a tabletop. On its LCD screen, equipped with eight levels of contrast, the base relays the date, time, forecast, indoor temperature and humidity, outdoor temperature and humidity, and daily high and low outdoor temperatures. Four buttons enable the user to change display settings, disable the DST function, and check the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity readings for both indoors and outdoors. The forecast station measures indoor temperatures from 14 to 140 degrees F, and outdoor temperatures from -39.8 to +139.8 degrees F. For outdoor data, a Swiss-precision TX21U-IT thermo-hygro sensor transmits information at a 915 MHz frequency from as much as 330 feet away if unobstructed. Up to three sensors work with this system. For more accurate readings, mount the sensor using the provided hardware out of direct rain or sunlight. The separate purchase of four AA batteries is required. A limited one-year warranty covers this item. The forecast station base measures 3-1/5 inches wide by 1-1/4 inches deep by 5-2/3 inches high, while the sensor measures 2-1/4 inches wide by 2-2/5 inches deep by 5-1/3 inches high.

Oregon Scientific EB313HG Handheld Weather Forecaster with Alarm Clock Review

This is the third one of these weather units I have ordered this year and I like this one as much as the others. The delivery process was smooth, quick and problem-free, as it was for the other ones I ordered. I would have no hesitation purchasing another one of these units from this vendor, or anything else for that matter.
I have one unit in the house, one in my office and one was sent as a gift. I find it is most functionable as a stand-alone. Using the belt attachment, the proximity to the human body artificially raises the temperature. I do not camp, but I imagine it would be useful in a camping situation. I definitely take one of these with me when I travel.
Features I like the most are the temperature and relative humidity, both of which seem generally accurate. The forecasting feature does not seem to give much advance notice of upcoming weather, however that may be due partially to the fact that I am usually using these units inside. Have not yet tested them outside for that purpose.
The compact size makes it a discrete addition to almost any room and I am quite pleased with my purchases. The facilities people in my office building are now used to me quoting temperature and humidity level when I call to complain about the occasional lack of a/c in my office. I am sure they love that as much as I do.

Chaney Instruments Acu-Rite 75077 Wireless Weather Forecaster with Remote Sensor and Atomic Clock Review

Actually, I picked this unit up new at Lowe's for forty bills. It works very well, and is very easy to set up and use. I own four weather stations (i'm a gadget nut), and this one was the easiest to use by far. The LCD display panel is nice and big, so consequently the sizeable numbers are easy on the eyesight. Accuracy is on par with one of my more expensive, 'higher end' LaCrosse Technology weather units, which is reassuring. For accuracy, my remote outdoor sensor unit is placed on an outdoor bedroom window sill between the screen and window on a shady side of the house. This way, there is enough outdoor air circulating around the sensor unit to help insure accuracy. Also, I really like the fact that the unit also constantly displays minimum and maximum temperatures for the day right next to the current indoor and outdoor temps. The packaging and instruction manual were also top-notch. Nice graphics on the box, and no twist ties to undo, or blister packs to rip open. Just unscrew the 2 plastic holders on the back of the box, and tear aside the cardboard surrounding the unit encased in easy to remove plastic. Ingenious, and convenient for the consumer- more companies should package like 'Acu-Rite'! I highly recommend this weather unit, and feel it is one of the best 'bang per buck' units available for the price I got it for.

With plenty of space between temperature display, time, date, and weather forecasts for easy reading from this chic, slim lined device, this weather station and clock combo is the answer to cluttered tough-to-read devices. The clock mechanism is equipped with a radio receiver that catches signals from US Atomic Clock transmissions and sets itself accordingly for exact, consistent time, so you’re on time all the time. The main display shows in big, bold digits a calendar with month/day/year and day, plus indoor/outdoor temperature. s in huge digits. If it’s too early in the morning to be reading even these huge digits, the forecaster displays weather icons prominently in the upper right hand corner indicating with icons whether the day will be cloudy, sunny rain and more; offering 14 different weather icons for a variety of weather conditions. The handy desktop unit records the daily high and low temperatures shown in smaller digits at the lower right corner next to indoor temp. Outdoor temperature, along with the day’s highs and low are displayed in the top right, with data transmitted to the main console via the included remote, wireless weather sensor.
More great features include a 14-day learning mode for calibrating forecasts in the next 12- to 24 hours. Temperatures display in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The remote sensor’s transmission range is up to 100 feet (33 meters), unobstructed. The main unit uses 3 AA batteries while the sensor uses 2 AA batteries (no batteries included). Chaney backs the purchase with a 1-warranty.
