Comment:
This product works well. Installation was easy thanks in part to the configuration of the window through which I passed the probe wire. This would be a problem if a buyer does not have a way to easily run the probe wire outside.
I was able to place the probe (at the end of the wire) in the shade and protected from rain/ice/snow well away from my house. This also could be a problem for some buyers. The thermometer reading is usually close to our local official weather reports.
I have struggled with a series of remote wireless outdoor thermometers. They seem to disconnect when I most want them to work. I have not had this unit in place long enough to know how it works in extreme cold or really bad weather but I am optimistic that the wired probe will work much more reliabely than a wireless system.

I had this thermometer for 10 days and it went through 4 AAA batteries already - and now its' dead again! The batteries drain within 5 days - no matter what brand you use. THIS STINKS!

This works--wireless doesn't

Comment:
We bought this after trying a LaCrosse Technology wireless unit. The LaCrosse unit was always off by 2 to 5 degrees when measured against a calibrated thermometer of known accuracy. Then it stopped working altogether about a year after we bought it.
Wireless units are becoming popular--but the older, physically connected, wired sensor units like this one WORK and are ACCURATE.
The large display makes reading the unit from across the room possible. The light on the display is a nice extra touch if you need or want to read it at night without turning on the room lights. It is easy to reset the max/min temperature memory. Does what it is intended to do without too many extra bells, whistles, techno-wow, blinkylights and eye candy. No nonsense functionality--HOOORRAAAHH!

This product deserves 0 stars!! It drains batteries in a matter of days! I put brand new batteries in it twice and both times they went dead with in 3 to 5 days!!!!!! Horrible product!

Comment:
My husband requested these thermometers for Christmas. He's had them in the past (still has one, but another died a slow death after he banged it around in an office move). We use them in various places around the house, depending on what purpose he has for them (changes from day to day). Right now he has one in our furnace closet with a probe up near the attic vent hole (monitoring the air coming in from our attic - we like to be efficient here) and two in the office (one over each of his computers with the probes in front of the exhaust ports on the Micro ATX sized computers). We have another Oregon Scientific item (one of their weather stations) with a remote sensor that will be put outside. We have found OS products to be very reliable.
