Amazon.com Review: Completely wireless and simple to install, this home weather station tracks and stores data about more than 20 weather conditions and displays them on a touch-screen LCD monitor that measures only 8 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The instruction booklet accompanying the weather station is easy to comprehend, making the station accessible to children, as well as adult hobbyists, gardeners, campers, and fishing enthusiasts. There are three outdoor sensors, each powered by a solar cell: an anemometer that attaches to a building, fence, or roof to measure wind speed and direction; a thermo-hygrometer to measure temperature and humidity; and a self-emptying rain gauge. (At least six hours of sunshine are needed to operate the solar cells for 24 hours. Each sensor has a backup battery-power unit that requires two AA batteries--not included.) A 4-1/4-by-2-3/4-inch baro-hygrometer measures indoor temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity, and mounts on a wall or stands on a desk. (It requires four AAA batteries--not included.) The touch-screen monitor keeps track of the indoor and outdoor sensors, and also displays local weather/barometric pressure forecasts. Additionally, it has a calendar/clock, an alarm that sounds when sensors detect conditions beyond parameters set by the user, a memory button for retrieving past data, and an AC power adapter. (Its backup battery-power unit requires four AA batteries--not included.) The system can support three additional remote sensors and can interface with a PC. Additional sensors, the PC-link software/cable kit, and a long-term data-memory accessory are all sold separately. --Fred Brack Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Look Out - Buyer BewareThe outdoor temp/humidity sensor failed within the warranty. However, the company has been stalling on replacing it. Their excuse: the item is on backorder. I returned the failed item on 18 Jun 2008 and, as of 4 Sep 2008, the still offer same "back order" excuse. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and Oregon Scientific did not reply, In fact, according to the BBB, two follow ups inquiries by the BBB to my complaint have gone unanswered. Moving on, the directions/instructions ... Read More Rating:  - A Very Good BuyI am not sure what Oregon Scientific is doing shipping this thing without a manual (I mean, what comes with it is not very useful), because in my opinion, the company sells some excellent products for the money. Why then go on the cheap and risk your reputation just because you can't put together a good manual, which might add 40 cents to the cost of each unit when all the costs have been considered (including hiring a professional technical writer)? So I have to wonder who is managing that company. ... Read More Rating:  - Weather StationThis Oregon Scientific Weather Station works really well. It was easy to install, wireless, and gives a lot of weather information from its easy to read indoor display. The price from Amazon was considerably less than getting it from Oregon Scientific. It arrived on time, well packed, and a very useful tool. Rating:  - Off loaded weather stationI thought I was purchasing a weather station made in America. Turns out I could not follow the meager instructions due to the translation. The transmitter for the rain gauge would not transmit. The outside temperature probe began with accurate temperatues but in two weeks started reading a maximum of 133 degrees farenhieght to a flat line of nothing. The baromoter never did register correctly. The web site was not friendly to navigate inside. I expected I was getting a precision weather instrument but ... Read More Rating: - Pretty Good Weather StationI decided to take a chance on this after reading all the reviews. I've had a Davis station and a LaCrosse Technology station and decided to try Oregon Scientific. One reason was that the two times I purchased a product from Amazon and it didn't work they didn't give me a problem with the return, even sent prepaid postage for the return so I figured I'd try something new since my old stations also had issues. The installation of the sensors is easy enough and someone at Oregon must have ... Read More |
