Oregon Scientific RAR186 Wireless Indoor-Outdoor Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This wireless indoor-outdoor thermometer works as advertised. Its remote sensors have very good range and seem quite accurate. It was frustrating to set up because the instructions were not very clear. Once you figure out how to set up the sensors and base, you should write down how you did it. If you don't write it down you'll get frustrated when you have to change the batteies in one of the sensors.

La Crosse Technology Weather Channel WS-2310TWC Professional Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this weather station for about 4 weeks. It is working properly and does all the promised functions. Setup and installation were easy the manual covers all the needed points and has some good insights. The included monitoring program works well, but is not too deep and is difficult to modify or reprogram.
Overall I am satisfied with this product and I would recommend it.

Oregon Scientific Wireless Talking Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product has been discontinued and is being sold on clearance at this time.
After spending several hours playing with this, I can understand why it's no longer a part of Oregon Scientific's family of products.
In addition to the earlier review, which I agree with (especially in getting the base unit to recognize the remote sensor), I'd actually go further in criticizing this product for its completely unintuitive operation. Eight(!) buttons on the side of the base station control the unit's functions, but several important programming sequences require two keys to be held in tandem. There is absolutely no way anyone is going to be able to use this product without tethering the terrible user manual to the base station. You'll need to refer to it constantly.
The base station is virtually unreadable from across the room. When running from the power cord, this unit desperately needs the option of leaving the backlight on continuously. No such option.
Other instructions in the manual don't seem to correlate with the actual unit either. Certain product features are given a passing mention in the manual, but without any significant details (changing languages, understanding "zones" when setting up the unit, etc.)
The unit sets the clock from a longwave radio signal from WWVB, transmitting from Ft. Collins, Colorado. Unfortunately, those of us on the east coast tend to experience weak signals and considerable interference owing to all of the electronic devices we tend to run in our homes these days. Even when placing the remote sensor outside, it can take 24 hours or more to "lock" onto the time signal station.
The "talking" feature is nominally useful. The female voice is very clear and natural sounding, but she only announces the time, temperature, relative humidity, and "forecast." No barometric pressure is vocalized, and the "forecast" in a best guess based on the trend in barometric pressure, and is more of a general guess than anything useful.
For these reasons and those from the earlier review, I am returning the product to Amazon. Nobody wants to wade through a manual to operate one of these things, and with the unit being difficult to read, and the voice feature more gimmick than useful, you'd do better looking elsewhere.

Home Weather Station Barometer Thermometer Hygrometer in Cherry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have an "older" model with rounded edges instead of angled as shown. It is simple, stylish, and reasonably priced for those who prefer the "old fashioned", more decorative weather stations (as opposed to the digital ones becoming so much more prevalent). We do find the thermometer takes some getting used to, as the large outside numbers aren't on the "tens" as the other dials are. They seem to line up with the every ten degrees in celsius (inner circle), so it does make sense, but since the dashes indicating every ten degrees Farenheit aren't very bold, the thermometer isn't as easy to read as it could be. We use it more for the barometer and hygrometer, though, which we found to be clear and accurate.

Oregon Scientific BAR638HGA Weather Forecaster with Temperature & Humidity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We love this product immensely. It works great, for the month plus that we have had it, it has not needed new batteries. We love all the features on it, including humidity inside and outside, the atomic clock, and the capacity for more remote sensors. We plan to purchase another remote sensor for the upstairs of our house. The only thing that has not been helpful for us on it is the forecast picture. In the directions it says to put the remote sensor in an area that is not in direct sun, but in direct view of the sky (in my own words of course). Well, I have found this to be difficult to accomplish. We have settled with out of direct sun. As a result the forecast goes from rainy, cloudy, and sunny, all within a day, with no possible chance here in California of having rain in the summer, so that part of the device is not useful at all. But the unit itself looks very nice, so we would recommend this product to anyone who does not care about the forecast part of it.

Oregon Scientific Weather Forecaster with Wireless Remote Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an attractive design with good build quality and heft. The latter is no doubt to add stability to the tall form, especially since the device also works as an alarm clock with the snooze button at the top. The button doubles as a light, which I find very useful late at night or in the early morning as I can read the display without having to turn a light on.
Setup was pretty straightforward, except that inserting batteries into the remote sensor was way more hassle than I expected. The lid to that compartment is secured by tiny Philips head screws which my regular screwdriver cannot fit. If I didn't have a miniature screwdriver set, I couldn't have put this unit into service.
I can't rely on the self-setting clock. I've owned several Oregon Scientific clocks and the signal these devices need to receive are too weak to work in New York City. So come daylight savings time (tonight), I have to turn back the clock manually.
The device is supposed to predict weather conditions 12 to 24 hours ahead, and for the most part provides a good indication. However, the wide time window means this is no substitute for detailed TV or internet forecasts. One morning it actually displayed the sunny symbol while rain and drizzle continued into the night. Well, at least it keeps the kids amused.
All I really wanted was a remote outdoor thermometer. I ended up buying this model because the dedicated thermometers on amazon.com are ugly, and the price was right. I'm pretty satisfied with it.

La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3210U-CH 4 Day Multi-Line Wireless Forecaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This seemed to be what I had been looking for for a long time. We purchased it. We had trouble with setup. The gateway registered easily on my computer. The display device refused to register after repeated attempts, giving us this error message "Registration failed. Press any button on the Wireless Display to clear the fail message. Please try the instructions below again. If you are unable to register a Wireless Display after following the steps below multiple times, try factory resetting your Wireless Display...."
We carefully followed the instructions, including the troubleshooting steps to try when having trouble getting the display to register. After an hour and a half we gave up. The next day we were successful. When the device began giving us the weather it was not accurate. It was not even close. When setting up the device one needs to choose a weather location near where you live. The locations I could choose from were the same locations as those for known amateur weather stations. We chose a location very close to our house, but the forecasts weren't even close to reality. The predicted temperatures displayed for the current day and the next few days were always about 20 degrees colder than it really was. The WD-3210U's forecast for today, as observed early in the morning, said a chance of snow. The Weather Underground site on the internet predicted 4-6 inches of snow. We got 6 inches. I went online and changed our location to Juneau International Airport. That's about 9 miles away but our weather is nearly the same. The temperatures and predictions were still way off. I called our local National Weather Service office and talked to them about this device. They believe that the data being used by WeatherDirect isn't real-time weather data, hence the lack of accuracy. They told me that for many states other than Alaska it would probably work OK, but that we are so far north the data they use won't correlate to what's really happening up here. So, the WD-3210U will be sent back. I'm very disappointed. We also weren't successful in reaching technical support by telephone.
One last detail that I should mention is the fact that the designers of this device made a huge mistake by deciding not to have the outside temperature permanently displayed. To get the outside temperature, you have to watch the scrolling information, at the bottom, scroll through the current day, and the next 3 days, before it finally gives you the outside temperature. Or you can walk up to the display and push a button to see the outside temperature. I find it incredulous that the time of the day is permanently displayed, but not the outside temperature. I guess they thought they were designing a clock, not a weather instrument. This company does make an excellent device that always shows the outside temperature, without the predictions (which didn't work for our area).

Oregon Scientific THGR268 Remote Temperature Sensor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thermometer is a wireless device with fairly accurate temperature readings, so long as you keep it in the shade and out of the rain. It features the ability to change between degrees C and degrees F, independent of the base unit.
I have 3 of these, one outside and two inside. My only complaint is that humidity sensor on the outside device has failed, because some insects got into it and nested on the sensor. Now this device is merely a thermometer with inaccurate humidity, so I must buy a new one. Another factor, true of any battery powered outdoor device, is that the alkaline batteries freeze about 0 degrees F, making the device inoperable. The solution to this problem is easy: insert AA LITHIUM batteries. They will be good to about -30F.

Oregon Scientific WMR100 Professional Wireless Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the Oregon Scientific WMR100 which comes with a rain collector, a combined wind/temperature/humidity sensor, a display unit, and various mounting hardware. I tested its accuracy in several ways, including pouring carefully measured amounts of water (from a rain gauge) through the rain collector, comparing the temperature readings with a very accurate thermometer, and holding the wind sensor out the window of a car at 40 mph. The results were impressive. I had previously tried these tests on a LaCrosse weather station as well as one from Radio Shack, neither of which was completely accurate. The Oregon Scientific WMR100 was right on the mark for measuring preciptiation, and also for temperature. The temperature was down to minus 15F one night, and lithium batteries still worked fine. The outdoor temperature sensor is slow to respond to rapidly rising or falling temperature, but this is probably a good design feature to avoid over-reaction to direct sunlight if it's not in the shade. The wind speed readings for 40 mph on the odometer ranged from 40 to 45+ on the display unit, but doing this out the window of a car may not be 100% reliable as a test! The display unit sits firmly on a table (well weighted in the bottom) yet is easy to use as a hand unit. It is a little inconvenient to have to scroll through the settings to see everything -- for example, the readings for rainfall, UV, and barometric pressure do not display simultaneously and it is necessary to use the control buttons to change between these settings in order to see them all. The manual is good in explaining everything. The construction is very sturdy considering that it's made of plastic, and the mounting pole is even metal. All in all I am very satisfied with it and certainly would recommend it over LaCrosse for a number of reasons. From what I would expect for something at this price, I would give it 5 stars.
Update, July 2, 2008: After several months, the temperature and humidity signals were no longer coming through to the display unit without constantly having to reset the sensor (on the roof!), so I returned the whole weather station under warranty, as instructed by Oregon Scientific's Customer Service Department listed in the warranty. After more than 7 months and many inquiries, they had not sent me the new unit yet, saying that it was "back ordered" and would be sent when available.... in a few months! I then contacted the Oregon Scientific retail store where I had purchased the unit, and with no hesitation they told me that they backed the product and would send a replacement. So, if you buy, buy from a retailer who will back the product or directly from the company's retail store. Don't depend on Oregon Scientific's Customer Service Department! The Oregon Scientific retail store in Tigard, Oregon was very helpful in dealing with the problem because I had purchased it there in the first place and they still had a copy of my receipt on file. My only regret is not having called them first when the problem began.
Update July 24, 2009: This weather station is still working wonderfully!

Capturing weather data has never been easier thanks to this wireless weather station from Oregon Scientific. This professional-grade weather station features a rotary dial for quickly fingering through six different weather measurements. It includes a clock with alarm that automatically sets itself to the U.S. Atomic Clock and adjusts for Daylight Saving Time where applicable. An all-in-one sensor pole lets you install all 5 sensors in one place without hassling with wires. Attach the sensors to the pole and mount the pole in the garden, on top of the barn, or on the nearest hill to receive temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind and rainfall data from up to 300 feet away. The main console can receive data from up to 10 sensors (extra sensors sold separately).
More great features include a bar graph that shows a 24-hour history of barometric, UV index and rainfall data. The wind sensor provides information on wind speed, gusting and wind direction. The station also displays dew point, wind chill and heat index, as well as three levels of temperature and humidity trends: Rising, Steady or Falling. Twelve- and 24-hour weather forecasts are displayed with easy-to-read graphic icons. The HiGlo electroluminescent backlight allows for easy reading.

La Crosse WS-8035U-IT Wireless 915mhz Forecast Station with Pressure Graph & In/Out Temps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a meteorologist. If I had it in my budget to get a professional weather station (like from Davis) for my home I would but until I do this station will serve nicely.
The display unit is nice and large, very easy to read. The base is narrow enough that I can set it on the kitchen window sill without worrying it will fall into the sink. The remote sensor is about 30-40 feet away, around the corner of the house. Our home has metal siding and the signal from the remote has to travel through two exterior walls and a window; we've had no reception problems.
The sensors are accurate. When I first put in the batteries (follow the instructions as another reviewer said) I let the outdoor sensor sit next to the indoor sensor for quite a while. The readings from the base unit and remote matched within 0.7 of a degree and 2% humidity.
The clock set itself within about an hour of putting in the batteries.
The base unit is easy to read and full of information. The unit records not only high and low temperature and humidity for both the indoor and outdoor sensors but also the date and time the reading was taken. If you were so inclined you could reset the measurements on 1 January, then on 31 December see when you had your highs and lows for the year.
I want to address a couple of comments by other reviewers. First, the specifications of the unit (found on page 23 of the manual downloadable from Amazon) clearly state the unit will only report outside temperatures to about -22F. Expecting La Crosse to do something about this is like buying a Geo Metro and complaining that you can't compete in NASCAR. The unit is not built for those extreme low temperatures. Don't buy it if it doesn't meet your needs.
Second, the Weather Channel reports measurements taken by a weather station (often at an airport or NWS office) that is in your cable viewing area. The Weather Channel is not reporting conditions in your backyard. Official measurments are taken using instruments housed in a shelter built to certain specifications, usually 4-6 feet off the ground. I've got my outdoor sensor stuck to the side of the house about 8-9 feet up. It's good enough for backyard meteorology but it's definitely doesn't meet requirements for official measurements.
Third, the reason the pressure tendency chart blinks (actually it's displayed in a scrolling fashion) is "to avoid burnout of the LCD". Manual, page 18, section I9.
Remember, the pressure displayed is station pressure. The values reported by the Weather Channel are converted to sea level pressure. Station pressure is affected by the height of the weather station; the higher you're located above sea level the lower the pressure displayed, compared to sea level pressure. Fortunately it's not the number that matters. What you're interested in as a weather watcher is the pressure tendency. If the pressure is dropping then look for worsening weather; likewise with increasing pressure you can expect conditions to improve.
All in all this is a nice package with many features found only on more expensive units.
------------------
Update 25 Aug 2007
------------------
The unit is still going strong after a year, though the outside sensor died. It fell off the side of the house a couple of times - it's possible that had something to do with it. Fortunately the replacement sensor is only $15 here on Amazon, though it doesn't come with a weather shield. I have it under an eave, but I still may seal the new sensor (La Crosse Technology TX6U Wireless Temperature Sensor) with silicon as a precaution.
I didn't realize how much I looked at the thing until the sensor died...I'm going through data withdrawal now.
Interestingly, the unit is now branded as "The Weather Channel" wireless weather station. When I bought this it was just a regular old wireless weather station. Perhaps TWC branding is the reason the price has gone up since last year.

La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3303U 4 Day Multi-Line Wireless Forecaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my second La Crosse weather station purchase. First unit (a different model with no internet feed) crapped out after about two years. Thought this model with internet connection made much more sense, as it shows four days of forecast provided by a reliable, professional weather service.
Product works as advertized, but I have two relatively minor gripes. First, the one-time setup and registration instructions are pretty poor (for example, you are warned not to insert the receiver's batteries until instructed to do so, but the instructions don't tell you when to insert them). To make matters worse, the on-line registration process repeatedly informed me that the internet gateway was not registered successfully (I seemed to be stuck in an endless loop of failed registration re-tries) until I simply ignored the error message and moved on to the receiver registration page. The Weather Direct web site developers really should test their web pages better. Second (and this one is pretty minor), the local temperature reading from the remote sensor is available only in the scrolling message at the bottom of the display. This means that if you want to know the current temperature right outside your house (the single most valuable piece of information that you would need at a glance), you either have to wait for the local real-time temperature to scroll into view -- which can take over 30 seconds -- or you have to press a multi-function button that not only displays the local temperature for a few seconds, but also changes the way information is presented in the main display section. You have to press that same button several more times to get the main display back to your preferred setting. I find that to be more than a little annoying. It would have been much better if the designers had provided a dedicated place to display the temperature reading from the remote sensor.
Despite my two minor gripes, I think the display of four-day forecast information is pretty clear and concise -- just what you would want to know before planning anything that takes you outdoors.

Bushnell 5-Day Weather FX Alarm (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this on clearance from Wally World for $30. It's an attractive device. I like the display layout with the current temp and forecast because it is not cluttered with too much information and easy to read. But the WeatherFX forecaster is far from perfect. The manual says it receives updates every 15 minutes from the network. This may be so, but it seems the network forecast is only updated once every 24 hours. I've never seen the weather forecast for the week change during the daytime. It always happens sometime in the middle of the night. The current temp appears to be a forecast also. I've seen the current temperature off by as much as 10 degrees when compared to my outside thermometer or the local news. On average I would say the current temp is within +/- 5 degrees of the actual temperature. Not horrible, but not up to date either. The weather forecast itself is about as accurate as any other weather forecast. It gives you a general idea of what to expect. One cool feature on this device is that when it downloads your local forecast, it downloads the forecast for all the cities it supports. So you can instantly check the forecast of about 150 US cities by using the "location" button. Another great feature is that it downloads all its data from a pager network and not the Internet or a PC. The backlight is nice and bright, but there isn't a button to turn it on or off. It is always on when the AC plug is connected and always off when running on batteries. For $30, it's a keeper for us. I would be disappointed if I had paid $100 for it.

Chaney Instrument Wireless Weather Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not bad. I bought this one to replace a wired unit I had. It is very good at relaying an accurate temperature. The atomic clock is tricky, but works if you have a clear path to the northern sky. The channels went astray a couple of times, but once they are locked in they do well. I would recommend this product.

La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3105U 4-Day Internet-Powered Wireless Forecaster, Titanium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The weather direct weather station was easy to set up, the instuctions were easy to follow. If I could change one thing about the weather station it would be how it displays the outdoor temperature. The outdoor temperature scrolls on the bottom of the screen, along with a written description of the weather report, and the name of the city the forcast is for. I don't like that you have to wait for the outdoor temperature to show up. I would rather it was available on the display all of the time. So far, the weather reports have been quite accurate. Some of the "expandable" features that it lists in the product description are available only if you pay for a subscription. For example, you have to pay if you want to view forcasts for more than one location or want severe weather alerts. If you are only wanting to see the forecast for one location its not a problem. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product.
Edit: I'm not so pleased with this product anymore. It quit working after about 6 weeks and I haven't been able to get it working again. It turned out to be a waste of time and money.

With this La Crosse Technology internet-powered wireless forecaster, one can check the projected weather without flipping on the TV, radio, or computer. The Weather Direct WD-3102U four-day forecaster sends free internet forecasts for the user-selected location to the display unit. A provided AC-powered gateway connects with a secure LAN cable to a network router for internet transmissions, whether or not the computer is on. Upon online registration, the user chooses the forecast location from over 60,000 US and Canadian locations. The forecaster also provides the outdoor temperature, measured from right outside the front door with the included TX-50U wireless sensor.
The titanium-framed display stands alone, or wall hangs. The current day’s forecast, internet-set time, and indoor temperature occupy the top LCD. In the center section, sky condition icons and projected high and low temperatures predict the next three days’ weather; forecasts update every six hours. The selected location, location forecast, sunrise/sunset times, and outdoor temperature scroll across the bottom LCD section. Additional function keys enable adjustments to LCD contrast, scrolling speed, and volume, Fahrenheit/Celsius selection, alarm setting, five-minute snooze activation, and viewing micro forecasts for morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Communicating with the display from up to 330 feet unobstructed, both the gateway and the outdoor sensor come with mounting hardware. Install the sensor out of direct rain and sunlight. No additional software or Wi-Fi connection is required. However, the system does necessitate high-speed internet service, a network router, and the separate purchase of two C and two AA batteries. A limited one-year warranty covers the forecaster. The display measures 4-4/5 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches deep by 5-1/5 inches high.

Chaney Instrument Wireless Weather Station w/ Remote Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Chaney Wireless Weather Station back in late August. I'll admit, I am very critical about my products, so this one was intensely reviewed. Overall, I think it was well worth the purchase (and the price was reasonable too!). This product tracks temperature and humidity from a remote sensor and the base station, as well as provides arrows that indicate the general trend (temp rising, falling, stabilizing). The clock is readable from a distance and the weather forecaster has been accurate about 90% of the time.
I would give this product 5 stars if not for a few things I have not liked about it. First, it is difficult to read the "Day of Week". Sure, I didn't buy a weather station to find out what day it was, but that feature would be nicer if it was readable from more than 5 feet away. Second, the moon phase icon likes to scroll around through the entire cycle. It remains on the actual phase for about 5 seconds, but it gets really annoying when your glancing at it and it's moving around, leaving you to wait for it to come to a halt again. Lastly, the weather forecaster seems a bit sensitive to barometric pressure changes. I don't know if this is uniform for all weather stations. Like I said earlier, it is right 90% of the time. However, sometimes it will jump from sunny to partly cloudy and then rainy when the Weather Channel says it will be rainy within the next 12 hours for sure. Also, my unit has trouble connecting to the Colorado station -- however, this is my problem, as I am in an apartment where even cell signals struggle getting in.
Overall, this unit was well worth the purchase. I would gladly recommend it to anybody buying a weather station. It is affordable, reliable, and has never given me any grief.
