Comment:
This is a nice item, especially for the price. It's not cheap looking and the basic style should fit in with almost any decor. I have it inside the house on an 'outside' wall.
I've had the item for a few months (from summer heat and humidity to winter's below freezing temperatures), and I've found it to be accurate. The humidity and temperature reading matches with our other electronic weather gauge, and I've found that the barometric reading consistently matches the "Weather Channel". My one complaint/ suggestion is there are no feet on the backside of this item to keep it slightly away from the wall, so as to allow for better air circulation. This was easily remedied by going to a local Home Depot and purchasing stick-on "feet" for $1 (1/2 " diameter x 1/4" high).
I've been unexpectedily pleased with this product and would recommend it without hesitation.

Comment:
When I received the weather station I could tell right away that the barometer was not working, as mentioned in some of the other reviews. It did not move the couple of days I had it before I returned it and was stuck in a very low reading. The other gauges worked fine. Disappointed that they ship these items that do not work. Do not buy this brand.

Comment:
Barometer failed very soon after opening up. It was working correctly when opened - matched TV news reading. It went down as expected during the first bad weather event, and never came back up when it should have after the weather cleared. This is not the weather station for you; move along.

Barometer is the best!

Comment:
Although I found this instrument small, we hung it up and were pleasantly surprised to see how accurate it was and still is! We compared this to another we have and they were exact. Especially impressed with the barometer readings, it is on the money.

Comment:
The gauges haven't moved for me in normal operation. Might as well be a prop.
Its the summer, and I keep the temperature pretty much stable all day and
night, but it is a few degrees lower than every other thermometer placed near it would read. It also stayed proportionately lower when moved out into the garage to test temp and humidity.
The Hygrometer is also lazy, underreporting highs and overreporting lows.
The Barometer must be broken because I have several digital barometers that show daily swings. This barometer hasn't budged even 0.01 millibarsbar. I'm thinking it might be physically stuck in some bad position, so since it was reading way too low a value (28.2 mb when everything else was reading 29.85) I adjust it, and though it was stiff, the needle moved. But since then I have had two cold fronts blow through each delivering several inches of rain between high pressure Texas clear sky 100 degree temps. No movement.
Others reported favorable results, so I'm going to assume that this one didn't receive any quality control and was just chucked out the factory door like any other $30 home weather instrument made in China.
Fortunately Amazon has the best customer support in the business, so I'll keep replacing it until I find one that wasn't made on a Friday afternoon.
