Product Description
Aspiring meteorologists and will be thrilled with this La Crosse Technology wireless weather station. Ideal for darkrooms, greenhouses, or other environments that require a consistent temperature reading, the WS-7014CH records indoor temperature, humidity, and remote temperature as measured by the included TX29U-IT remote sensor. For those who need multiple temperature readings, the unit is compatible with up to three remote sensors, and displays the information in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. If gauging current temperature isn't enough to satisfy, the station also forecasts upcoming weather conditions based on changing air pressure, employing several user-friendly icons, such as clouds, raindrops, or the sun, in the display. The forecast is approximately 75 percent accurate for 12 to 20 hours. Like all La Crosse Technology products, the included clock and date indicator receive their readings from the U.S. atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, ensuring that the time is always 100 percent accurate. In addition, the weather station stores both daily maximum and minimum temperatures in its memory. The remote sensor is accurate up to 330 feet away with no obstructions, and approximately 50 to 65 feet away if exterior or interior walls block the weather station. Other features include a 12- or 24-hour time mode and an air-pressure tendency arrow. The unit is comfortable either hanging on a wall or free standing and measures 3-1/2 by 5-1/2 by 1-1/4 inches (W x H x D). Both the display unit and remote require two AA batteries.

I confess: I'm a clock-thermometer addict :-)
I have a lot of thermometers of many kind, but this one is really cool!!!
The weather forecast is very accurate and the storage of Max/Min In/Out temperatures is a very nice touch.
I think the device is smaller that it seems in the photos. It has an excellent size for a desktop, but tiny for a wall.
Highly recommended!

Comment:
La Crosse Technology is one of the oldest and most respected names in weather and other electronic gear of all kinds. If you're interested in a station that is going to last for years and comes from a company that is far from the new kid on the block, La Crosse would be a fine choice for you. As I have written in other weather station reviews, the cost of these units very much follows the features you get. Spend more money, and you get more way cool icons and numbers to look at. The Lacrosse 701 is a good example of this for what it offers. However I can find myself only recommending this particular model to those whose eyes are either still young or healthy enough that squinting will not become a mandatory practice just to see the temperature. I bought this unit on sale at a local store where it was packaged up and unable to be really seen. Getting it home I realized that the units window, the only part that really matters, is barely over an inch wide. Quite simply put, its very hard to see unless you stroll on over very close to it each time. Whether its on a table or a wall, (which it's not really designed for) I cannot recommend it for any setting where the buyer is hoping to just glance at it in a drive by, or from half way across the room or desk. (None of these stations ever tell you the screen size in their description. Its something you gamble with in buying online. And none of them I have ever seen are overly generous in their readout in any event). I ended up returning this model. If you're interested in a station that has all the features for about the same price, and by the same company, may I suggest the 9055, which I have enclosed a link for. It has all the same features, including the forecaster, that the 7104 has, but the readout screen is far more generous in size. Note that the 9055 is also a wall or stand alone unit combination. If your eyes have seen better days, and you are interested in a quality reasonably priced weather station, check out the La Crosse 9055. The 7041 is a fine unit, but its readout screen is just way too small in my opinion...

Comment:
My sister-in-law bought one of these weather stations for my husband and I several years ago. We loved it!! when my grandchildren got older, and cared about the weather, I thought "what a great gift for them and my daughter, so she would know the outside temperature before sending them off to school." So I bought her one, too, and they love it as much as we do!! Great product!!

Comment:
I got this as a gift for myself so that I could keep track of the inside and outside temperature. At first, I was really pleased with how the product worked and looked, but after a while I noticed that the outdoor sensor seemed to gobble through batteries. I was changing them every two weeks. I realize that cold temps can sap batteries of their power, but I thought it was excessive. After about 4 months the sensor stopped working completely. This made me doubly angry when my Mother-in-law complained of the same problem with a second station that I gave to her for Christmas. I mean, the station looks really nice, and for the most part works fine for me, but to have so many reviews with complaints of the sensors not working show that there is a serious quality problem with this product. Disappointed.

Nice little weather station.

Comment:
+ This is a nice little clock/weather station for the price.
+ Instruction were good and it was easily setup.
+ The slim design allows the unit to be mounted on a wall.
+ Love the idea of having a "go to" clock that you know is always right and do not have to change for daylight savings time twice a year.
- Though it looks nice, the actual screen could have been a little larger. It's a little hard for an older guy to see from across the room. :)
- The outdoor sensor should have been made weather resistant.
