Does what is says but don't expect it to be a weather forecaster. We have the remote outside about 20' from the unit and it works fine. Living in the California Bay area, the forecasting is horrible (just like every other pressure-based forecasting clock/temp devices). But the good news is our weather here is pretty predictable so that feature is unnecessary. Supposedly, has capability to read two temp sensors but even the one we have doesn't show up as '1' like the instruction manual states. As other reviewers note, the setup is unnecessarily complex and you do have to follow it -- just read the manual. Temperature reading is not super accurate. We have another unit that we put out front (the Oregon Scientific projector clock) and there's about a 2-3 degree temp difference. So, don't get this one if you need it to be accurate. We use it for relative temp (like if it's above 80, it's hot; below 60 it's cold; etc) and so we are happy with it. Also, the atomic clock doesn't work. We've always had problems in the kitchen with atomic clocks -- likely the signal in there is weak. Once in a while, we move it to the upstairs bedroom for the night to get the clock to sync.
Gave it 4 stars since it is great for the price. Didn't really expect it to be perfect for only $20. Like I said, it does the job. |

| Bought as a gift for a golfer who checks the weather before playing ... a real success! Thanks! |

| Was looking for a weather station with temperature, barometer and humidity and this fit the bill. Thought the man with various outfits was corny, but it has proven to be relatively accurate and gives you a quick indication of the direction the barometer is heading. |

| I ordered this despite the reviews complaining of no Customer Service by Lacrosse. I have another product by them and it works fine, so I took the plunge. Unfortunately, there is an issue with the item (surise/set incorrect). I e-mailed them a week ago, and received an auto-responder reply. Nothing else. I e-mailed again. Nothing. Back it goes. |

I buy things with the expectation they're going to keep working.
After one year of marvelous service, the thing crapped out.
Month 13: the humidity sensor crapped out
Month 14: the wireless transmitter appeared to lose range, then totally died (yes, I followed the instructions for battery replacement on both units)
Month 15: indoor thermometer hit the skids, reading 135 degrees, then "OF"
So, for one year this thing made me quite happy, even with a little character to briefly entertain my kids each morning.
After that year, this thing is a skipping stone.
I had no expectations for customer service, assuming any warranty on the device was less than 12 months... But I was pleased to find that I could still get a PDF of the user manual online. To me, that's a credit to Lacrosse. Manufacturing a short-lived product goes to their discredit.
