La Crosse Technology Ws-2811Sal-It Professional Weather Center (Electronics-Other / Weather Stations) Review

Reuturned the item. Although it appears to be an above average product when seen on the internet - upon closer inspection after receipt, it did not appear to be capable of withstanding the outdoor elements. It basically is made entirely of plastic and not completely in line with what one might expect at this price point. One of the pieces of the housing was also cracked. Otherwise, it might be a decent buy.

Celestron 47005 Deluxe Compact Weather Station (Black) Review

Celestron 47005 Deluxe Compact Weather Station (Black)
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.

Honeywell TN924W Weather Information Station, Black Review

Honeywell TN924W Weather Information Station, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the first complete weather station that offers the s.a.m.e noaa weather radio reports. This feature sounds fine and works once you set it up, but has some design flaws. You can not make the alarm part of the radio any softer although you can turn the alarm and voice off entirely if you wish to. However, they included a volume for the voice. The problem is that even the voice being set to the lowest level in my case is still too loud. The alarm also goes off whether you set it to voice mode or not so you either have to turn it off or keep them both on.
As far as th weather station goes it gives all the features of other weather stations minus the UV light. One other note is that they removed the remote that the previous version had and I am not sure what made them do this as all the buttons are in the back of the base unit so the remote would have made it easier to operate all the functions the weather station has to offer.
It took an hour or so to mount the outdoor instruments and they immeadiatly started communicating with the base unit and all seem accurate enough. I am however still wondering about the built in barometer as I have seen the barometer change too rapidly so I am not sure if this flaw exists in all the base units. Honeywell said that they are shipping another base unit so I will have to see if the same problem exists.
There are some other features like a sensor light that works well and the included simplistic software package for a USB connection to a computer so you can monitor the weather records.
It is still nice to see that the main selling point of this weather station being the weather radio in this case works if you can live with its flaws. Honeywell would have the perfect weather tool if they would redesign some things and fix other things with the weather station.

With a new double-tool design, the Honeywell TE924W All Weather Station with Public Alert boasts an elegant glossy finish that is perfect for modern decors. The Honeywell TE924W is the quickest, most accurate, and most convenient way of keeping track of the weather in and around your home or office, as well as emergency information you may not want to miss.
The TE924W allows you to monitor temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, and even rainfall in multiple remote locations at the same time, all while providing you with the most accurate timekeeping available. Additionally, the main display is a NOAA weatherband receiver with S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) alert functionality that automatically turns it on during an emergency broadcast. This system comes with a compact main display unit and three different Honeywell remote sensor units. And with an effective transmission range from 100 to up to 328 feet, you can install these remote sensors virtually anywhere in or near the house.
The three Honeywell remote sensors consist of: an anemometer that measures wind speed and direction, a rain gauge that measures rainfall amount, and a thermo-hygrometer for measuring both temperature and humidity. If you need to know information from multiple locations, you can purchase up to four more remote sensors and use them all via the main display unit's seven-channel capability. The TE924W even stores up to 200 weather records without a PC connection, and comes with a built-in USB port and PC software for syncing with your computer. And not only does this system display the temperature, but provides you with a 12- to 24-hour weather forecast with easy-to-interpret graphical icons, such as clouds, rain, sunshine and more.
The TE924W utilizes easy-to-read digits on a bright, blue backlit LCD display that allows you to read its information at a glance day or night with its automatic backlight control. As an added convenience, this system contains a programmable ice warning alarm, which lets you know when a frost is predicted so you can take precautions. Users will also delight in this system's wide outdoor temperature range, which can range from -38 to 158 degrees F when powered by lithium batteries, making it suitable for virtually any application.
More than just a personal weather station, the TE924W includes a built-in clock that can display the current time in 12- or 24-hour format. And this clock really will display the current time, since it receives radio signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. Not only does this consistently adjust the clock to within one second of official U.S. government, but automatically adjusts the time for Daylight Savings Time as well. What's more, this clock comes with dual alarms that feature a crescendo tone and a programmable snooze function, as well as a user-friendly sunrise and sunset calculator, and a moon phase calendar. As convenient as it is accurate, the display unit sits easily on your desktop and can go wherever you do. The main display is powered by the included AC power adapter for running the automatic backlight control, while the remote sensors run on a total of 10 AA batteries (not included). The TE924W main display unit and all the remote sensors in this system are backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.
What's in the Box Honeywell TE924W long-range weather station with clock and public alert system, remote anemometer sensor, remote rain gauge sensor, remote thermo-hygrometer sensor, CD-ROM with PC software, user's guide and warranty information.

Bushnell 950007 WeatherFX 7 Day Weather Forecaster Review

Bushnell 950007 WeatherFX 7 Day Weather Forecaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased the 7-day Weather FX elsewhere a few days ago.
OVERALL -- after much researching of many brands, AM VERY SATISFIED!
>> I really love the clean, easy-to-read screen. Most of the other weather stations have so much information squeezed onto the screen that it is a headache to quickly find what is most important -- the time, the current day's forecast, & then what's coming up. LAYOUT is perfect.
>> The data comes from their "forecast" NOT actual reported local data. So far, on my unit, it's always been OFF by a few degrees (the real high in my town being 1-4 deg higher than what has been forecast this week).
>> Also, the color on my unit is stuck on "yellow" (70s) when it should have been orange (80s) & red (90s) for the past week. However, that is not a problem as, when I wake up to go to work, to see the HIGH TEMP & RAIN forecast so that I can dress appropriately is just a matter of looking at the numbers without worrying about the color (yellow backlight is very easy for reading the LCD data).
>> The viewing angle is rather limited. I put it up on a bookshelf next to the bed & cannot see the LCD data. Also, the A/C cord is short & you'll have to place it very close to an A/C outlet.
>> When powered in A/C mode, the backlight is always ON, VERY bright, & easy to see in the dark! LOVE THAT. However, there is no way to time a dimmer function, so you may be putting a bit of cloth over it when you sleep.
Just plug it in, pick your city, wait about 30 min (or less) & you're ready to go.
Hope this helps in your purchasing decision.
Thanks Amazon for allowing customer comments.
I ALWAYS read them on Amazon before making a purchase!

Oregon Scientific WMR100 Professional Wireless Weather Station Review

Oregon Scientific WMR100 Professional Wireless Weather Station
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.

Maverick WS-1000 Weather Station Review

Maverick WS-1000 Weather Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great item, but they put a black grid into the screen. This grid makes it impossible to read the display at night unless you are less than a foot away and directly at eye level. This was so irritating I returned the product back to Amazon. The alarm clock feature had no volume control. This was also very annoying. So sad since everything else was so perfect.

Bushnell 950003 WeatherFX 3 Day Weather Forecaster Review

Bushnell 950003 WeatherFX 3 Day Weather Forecaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased one of these for my bedroom after having good luck with a 7-day unit that I keep in the main room of my house. This one didn't work right out of the box. It might get the time on the display, and part of the forecast - then it would reset, lose all data, and start over.
It's going to cost 1/4 of the price to send it back. I'm still debating...
Update:
I did send it back, and received another unit doing the same thing. Ambient tech support suggested that some 3-day units in the supply chains were "problematic." That one goes back as well.

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