 I love the little guy July 12, 2007

First off, this thing works. Second, I am kind of sorry I didn't find money to buy even more options. But for the price I am thoroughly delighted with a working outdoor sensor giving me current temperature and an inside thermometer/humidity reading. The little man icon is kind of icing on the cake. Calendar and sunrise are nice. It's a compact worthy desktop addition. My first go-round with setting it up was clumsy. Then when I had fresh new batteries in hand I decided to change to fresh (supposedly will last a year) and reset the station. The second go-round went much smoother and I suspect any problems I had with originally setting up the station were my own problems, not the unit. My recommendation is to buy this one if you want an economical weather station that works. But if you can afford more options, go for one that provides temps, humidity and perhaps a heat/chill index for outside. I'm saving up and looking for such a unit now.

This is an amazing, inexpensive little weather station. The little boy weather predicter is almost always correct in giving the direction of the weather with a clever graphic........that's the fun part. The only criticism would be the difficulty in reading the graphics at an angle. You do need to look at it head on. The good part of that is the signal from the receiver is strong enough to give you a lot of flexibiliity of where to place the readout.
This is a really helpful product for a very busy life September 30, 2007

I purchased this particular weather station to replace a different type/brand of weather station that had stopped working. It has so many more useful features than my last one and it makes life so much easier for us. No more scrambling to find the weather on the radio and/or TV. My family enjoys checking every morning to see what "the weather guy" is wearing and what weather is predicted to determine how we should dress for the day. It is also a great educational tool for my young children.
So far love it! February 28, 2008

First I purchased the The Weather Channel WS-9055TWC Wireless Forecast Station also by La Crosse since it was on a Friday sale and I had read so many mixed reviews that I wanted to get the cheapest one first to try. Well it has worked perfectly for the past couple of weeks I've used it, so then I decided to get this one. This one has many extra features, most importantly for me is the humidity level reading for my home office. I also enjoy the clothing indicator and the moon phases. Both have worked perfectly (granted I've only had them a few weeks) and usually are within one degree F of each other. I don't think you could go wrong with either selection depending on your needs, but I would wait for a repeat Friday sale as now they are almost double what I paid, (16.99 this one and TWC 22.99 B4F3, so really around 16.00). I will update this review if I have any problem with either one later on.

I bought this for my girlfriend's Step-Father's birthday. He is hard to shop for since he has almost everything, but he likes gadgets. He has two Atomic Clocks that provide Indoor/Outdoor Temperature, but this was something unique. Most people want to know the weather for one reason: what do I wear today? This was a HUGE Hit. All weekend long the entire family was always checking to see what the weather boy was wearing. Several had asked me where to get it. My girlfriend's mom called her the week after we got home to let her know that the weather boy was always right...it let them know when they needed an umbrella, etc. I would recommend this for children or adults.
