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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Dual MXDM70 AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA Weather Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this marine stereo for my Jeep, since in the past stereos have sub-come to rain or even a little dew settling on the interior. Overall I like it. I gave it four starts because it seems to skip a little more often than I'd like. However in a Jeep, you feel every gum wrapper and cigarette butt in the road as it is, so I can live with it. What makes up for the occasional skip, is the MP3 player plug-in (who cares about skipping CD's, when you have an iPod anyway) and the weather band is a great feature also. The display is super bright, which is good for open air driving when the sun is overhead. Another nice feature is that the power button stays lit when the stereo is off, a nice detail when glancing at you dashboard in total darkness. All in all, it's a good stereo and I recommend it for Jeeps, motorcycles, and even for you boaters.

Designed for life on the open water, the Dual MX-DM70 marine CD player/receiver makes a great foundation for a boat-based stereo system. The receiver features a powerful built-in amplifier (50 watts peak x 4) that powers a quartet of speakers, along with a host of marine-ready extras, such as clear-coated circuit boards, a rust-resistant chassis, and a detachable UV-resistant face with a negative white display. As a result, the stereo stands up to light rains, ocean spray, scorching sun, and almost any other weather condition. The CD player, meanwhile, is compatible with CDs and most CD-Rs, including discs loaded with WMA and MP3 files. The unit even displays track names and artist info on its black-and-white LCD screen, making it easy to find your favorite songs in the midst of a cross-lake cruise. And don't fret when you hit a huge wave, as the MX-DM70 includes an anti-shock mechanism that guarantees smooth playback in rough water.
Further versatility stems from the system's quintet of preset tone curves--which let listeners customize the audio settings based on genre and taste--and the built-in AM/FM radio with 30 presets (20 FM and 10 AM). Plus, the radio picks up several weather bands, so you can check the weather conditions before you head out. And finally, the system includes an auxiliary input with a mountable "iplug" adapter that connects to such audio sources as an iPod, MP3 player, or satellite radio receiver. It's never been easier to haul along your entire music collection while boating.
Additional features include a single set of 3-volt pre-amp outputs (for integrating an external amp or powered sub), selectable European and U.S. tuning, independent bass and treble controls, and a built-in clock. The MX-DM70 fits in most pre-installed dash openings and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Celestron 47011 4-Color LCD Weather Station (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The system works well - sometimes it gets confused with outside temp, but close enough - I like the color display. Just wish it was a little bit bigger. I also would like to have the humidity displayed rather than a picture or what those symbols are. Have to figure that one out.
All in all though it's great & a good product.
It's rather smaller than I thought it would be.

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.

Philips AJ260 Weather Station Clock Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading all the other reviews I wasn't too sure. But reading between the lines I decided to take a chance. I bit the bullet and bought it and so far I am happy I did. I did find one thing I would like changed, one thing I would like enhanced.
The negative and needing changed is that the dual alarms will both sound by the same method. Either both by buzzer or both by radio. I personally like to use one alarm by radio, one by buzzer. That gives me a gentle wake up and then a reminder alert a little later.
To make the clock better, it would be nice if you could dim the weather LED. It is bright, no doubt about it. You can set it so that it only comes on for 10 seconds when you press a button, but I'd still like to see it dimmable.
As far as the other complaints... almost all the bad reviews could be corrected and attributed to user error. If people would RTFM before moaning, life would be easier.
Time resets to central but you live in the west, well read the manual. Not getting the auto time update, RTFM. Weather indicator light stays lit and keeps you up at night, read the manual. Outside temperature sensor giving inaccurate readings, read the flipping manual and mount the sensor in an appropriate place. As far as the sensor only measuring barometric pressure indoors and not outside, well unless you live in a submarine or a minute-man missile silo and use the airlock, the pressure inside and outside your house are the same. Humidity might be different, but pressure is the same, and that is what gives the clock its rudimentary weather predictions. Yes, it is really basic weather predictions, but what do you expect. It's a clock radio, not a meteorologist. Turn on the radio if you want more details.
I'd buy one again, but I would prefer separate buzz/radio selections for each alarm.

Honeywell TE242ELW Personal Weather Station with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The weather around here has gotten colder, and out of curiosity I've always wanted to know how cold it was outside at any given moment. It helps especially when I'm getting dressed so I know how much I have to bundle (in the winter).
I got the TE242 as a gift. After looking at the picture on the packaging, the device is deceptively larger than I would imagine. With nothing to compare it to, I imagined it to be very compact and small. It's larger, about the height and thickness of a paperback book. The styling is nice, and the readout is decently-sized and very legible.
The device shows the outside temperature, the inside temperature, the time, and the date. It comes with a smaller remote temperature probe about the size of an altoids tin that you put outside. I hung mine up by the outside door. It receives this signal wirelessly, and also syncs the time up with the US atomic clock for accurate time. I had to set the timezone on mine (press mode until the date abbreviation is next to the time, hold up till the timezone changes).
The only problem I've had is that the unit sometimes loses the signal from the remote temp sensor, which means the outside temperature is blank. Holding up for a few seconds makes the unit search and find the signal again. A minor inconvenience, but annoying. However, it may have been due to interference since I haven't had any signal loss since moving. The remote temp sensor may have a channel selector that would help, I haven't looked at it in a while.
The main Honeywell site is hard to navigate, but finally I found the site for these devices: [...] I was able to find the manual there.
I do wish it had a humidity feature and that it didn't lose signal, but overall I'm pleased with the device. I might shop around next time, but I like this one.

Honeywell TN924W Weather Information Station, Black Review

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.

Bushnell 950007 WeatherFX 7 Day Weather Forecaster Review

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

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!

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.

Honeywell TE532ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Humidity and Atomic Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am not at all impressed with this honeywell product. It is not at all intuitive as to how to change settings, and if you hit the wrong button when an alarm goes off, it puts you into reset mode and you have to reset everything. Temp changed reading from F to C and will not go back to read in Farenheit, and it often has false readings on the outside sensor, showing sun or partial sun with 98% humidity and rain going off. Overall, I rate this honeywell product as a lemon and would send it back if I had not thrown away the mandatory packaging and original info that came with it. Maybe honeywell needs to go back to made in USA for quality, instead of following suit with everyone who is getting their products made in China.I would gladly pay more for something if it was user friendly and it worked! This thing is junk and I will be looking for a replacement.

Pros: Big display (easy to read), digital tuner, nice button layout, very easy to set the alarms, brightness control (although manual.) Cons: cannot set alarms separately for weekdays/weekends, no gentle wake, very brights not-dimmable LEDs that shine brigther that the LCD screen itself, need a longer FM antenna for better reception.

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.

Honeywell TE322ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was initially delighted with this product when I bought it six months ago. It looks very nice and functions well. The display is easy to read. The alarms work (though as another reviewer noted you don't get two alarms per day). The gentle back illumination works nicely to let you read the display at night. I haven't paid much attention to the weather display except for the temperature and humidity functions, so I won't comment on those. But I have a few comments worth recording.
First, the unit has two parts. The remote temperature/humidity sensor unit that you hang outdoors isn't shown in the product picture on Amazon. It's about half the size of a pack of cigarettes and it has its own small temperature/humidity display. This unit requires two AAA batteries. If the temperature outside will ever drop below freezing, even for just an hour or two, these must be expensive lithium batteries (8 Energizer Lithium AAA 1.5V High Energy Lithium e2 Battery. 2 X Card 4AAA for example). That's because normal alkaline and titanium batteries deliver less voltage at low temperature, whereas lithium batteries give much more uniform voltage output down to about -40 degrees. If the voltage supply to the outdoor sensor drops too much, it will lose synchronization with the indoor unit and you'll have to "connect" them again.
That brings me to why I think this device is too complicated. When the device is new, or whenever the outdoor unit loses its radio connection to the indoor unit, the two units must negotiate which radio channel they will use to communicate. That's a useful process, because it allows them to choose a radio frequency that has minimal interference from other nearby devices. However, the process for doing it is maddening complex. You must remove the batteries from both units, then insert the batteries in the remote unit, then use an unbent paper clip to press the reset switch on the outdoor unit, then bring the units close together and insert the batteries in the indoor unit. After a minute or so they negotiate a frequency and the temperature of the outdoor unit is displayed on the indoor unit. You can then move them apart.
But you're not done. Having removed the batteries from the indoor unit, you must reset the date, choose a time zone and a bunch of other settings, using a combination of button pushes that is too complex to remember: I printed it out in very small type and taped it to the back of the device so I would not have to find the instruction book each time.
Finally, the atomic clock, like all such devices, synchronizes to the broadcast signal from NIST during the early morning hours, typically midnight to 5 AM local time. That time is chosen because the radio signal is much easier to receive at night. To get my unit to synchronize I had to put it on a window sill; it could not receive a strong enough signal from my night stand. That requirement is typical for so-called "atomic" clocks and watches. Fortunately it only needs to synchronize once a month or so to keep good time.
All in all, I'm glad I bought this remote thermometer, and I'm willing to live with the restrictions noted above. But you should be aware before you buy that this is not a "set it and forget it" device.

Bushnell 950003 WeatherFX 3 Day Weather Forecaster Review

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.
