Celestron 47005 Deluxe Compact Weather Station (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was really looking forward to an accurate, easy to use weather forecast unit; unfortunately this Celestron unit is not it. It did not provide reliable outside information. The documentation said it would send from the outside unit to the receiver (inside unit) up to 100 feet. I had this positioned less than 20 feet from the transmitter (one window in the way). Sometimes we'd get the temp & humidity o/s, sometimes not. I replaced the batteries twice - the second time with newly purchased batteries that had a shelf life of 2016, obviously pretty newly stocked in the store. The backlight is awful; you can actually see the eight LED's that provide the backlight rather than a nice smooth backlight. There is no LCD contrast adjustment, which makes for poor reading. Last, but certainly not least, the outside unit & inside unit varied in both temperature & humidity when placed side by side. The outside unit read three degrees warmer & seven percent higher humidity. VERY, Very, very disappointed in this unit. Thank goodness Amazon offers free return shipping and backs their products.

Oregon Scientific RMR382-B Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Atomic Clock, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So far the device has entirely lived up to expectations. Atomic Clock feature works fine and the range and accuracy on the remote sensor seems fair enough -- there is often about a 1-2 degree difference between the sensor and main unit if set right next to each other, but this is minor for the uses we get out of it (a quick look at outside temps during the winter).
The only issue we ran into that was "problematic" was the Ice Alarm feature. This feature sets off the devices alarm anytime the temperature drops between 32 and 27 degrees or so to alert you to possible icy conditions. The problem is that in cold climates the temperature hovers in that range all winter long...so the alarm goes off continually every 40 seconds or so.
We just happened upon a solution that has worked perfectly. The ice alarm only works on Channel 1. So, if you set the outside sensor to Channel 2 or 3 the ice alarm is disabled and is no longer triggered. Obviously, they should have an ability to shut it off, but this is it...and even this isn't listed in the instructions.

Keep informed of current temperatures with this wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer. From Oregon Scientific, the thermometer allows users to plan appropriately for weather conditions while monitoring the indoor climate for maximum comfort. The thermometer's clock also self-sets via radio communication with the US atomic clock for precise time.
The sleek black thermometer is designed to stand upright on a tabletop or shelf. On the easy-to-read LCD screen, the thermometer displays the time, time zone, date, radio signal, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and temperature trends icons. A green LED ice alert light blinks when the outdoor temperature dips below 37 degrees F. Equipped with five language settings (English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German), the thermometer also provides an alarm clock function with an 8 minute snooze. The thermometer comes with one THN132N wireless temperature sensor to monitor outdoor temperatures, conveying data to the base unit from up to 100 feet away at a 433 MHz frequency. For more accurate readings, shelter the sensor from direct rain and sun exposure. The thermometer measures indoor temperatures ranging from 23 to 122 degrees F, and outdoor temperatures from –4 to 140 degrees F. Celsius display is also available. For thorough weather data, the thermometer accommodates up to three remote sensors, and records minimum and maximum temperatures. Low battery indicators for the base unit and the sensor appear on the display screen. The thermometer requires the separate purchase of two AAA batteries and one AA battery. To disable ice alert, visit the Oregon Scientific web page. A limited one-year guarantee covers this item. The base unit measures 3-3/4 inches wide by 2 inches deep by 4-3/5 inches high.

Honeywell TE852W Long Range Weather Forecaster with Wind Speed and Atomic Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Difficult to program. Remote temperature/humidity sensor had to be within 30 feet of base otherwise had to constantly re-set to "find" signal. Wind speed virtually useless as it reads an average over a ten minute time frame. Gusts reading seemed off by 15 to 40%, as well.
One needs altitude and latitude and longitude in order to get accurate info from some of the features.
Weather prediction surprisingly accurate.
