 Easy to use and read December 14, 2009

I have owned an Oregon Scientific thermometer before and I was interested to see if my THR268 sensor would work with this unit. It does, it is not the modern sensor that comes with the unit that displays humidity so that part of the reading is blank but it does display the temperature.
I have a two bedroom apartment and I do try and keep each room at one consistent temperature on top of tracking the temperature outside and this one unit provides a centralized location for me to check each room's temperature throughout the day.
With the cold weather here in Washington causing static electricity within the apartment, I was able to track the humidity percentage in the main room after putting on a pot of water. Works like a charm!
The weather picture indicator isn't always accurate but that seems so minimal compared to the reason why I purchased the unit and it provides a good laugh or paniced pause when it says that it snowing and it isn't.
The package comes with several colorful indicator labels that simply click into the hard plastic screen (you either use the ones that are provided or you write your own). A battery is provided for power back-up to the rechargeable battery that is also provided. I received the unit while it was raining so it took me a few days before I could put it outside but once a non-rainy overcast day came, I left it out all day and I haven't had to recharge it since. Also in the box was one sensor that you put outside and another to put in a room that displays the temperature and humidity percentage on the sensor as well as the main unit indicator; the main unit also displays the sensors battery level. You can have up to four sensors and if you don't have four sensors, the bottom two areas can be used for date and time. The instructions said it could take up to 24 hours to receive the time from Colorado but it was accurate within seconds. The main unit numbers are large and could be read by someone who might need larger print.
I purchased this item blind back in October, no reviews only my trust in the manufacture, and I'm very pleased with my purchase.
great complete kit December 3, 2009

This unit seems to lock onto atomic clock signals much faster (maybe has more sensitive antenna) than previous Oregon Scientific weather units that I've own over the past several years. The display has very large numbers. Recharging feature is a plus, but we'll have to see how long the rechargeable battery lasts. Lastly, this includes both one outdoor and one indoor sensor. What a bonus!
Awesome January 9, 2010

This is versatile, reliable system and saves me from having to go to other rooms throughout the house to check temperatures. It is an expandable system which allowed me to place sensors throughout the house. The fact that it operates on solar and battery back up makes it even better.
I would recoomend this to anyone looking for a reliable, informative weather station.

The outside temperature is very inaccurate, over 15 degrees and the atomic watch, not working at all. Overall very cheap and not reliable at all.
