Comment:
If you have not already figured out, you can easily get a headache trying to determine which is the BEST wireless weather station for your needs. I spent hours upon hours comparing and finally decided on this one. Read the other reviews for this item for a full take, I am only reporting on what I see to be missing or needs to be fully emphasized:
PROS:
1. Ceiling projection. I originally thought this was a gimmick. In fact it is not so bad.. I am nearsighted and am always asking my wife what the time is in the morning/night... not any more :-) ... and YES you can have the unit alternate BOTH the time and outdoor temp. Take note that this is to be read ONLY at night in darkness. You will see nothing if the light is on.
2. I am putting this one as a PRO: While I have heard and agree with other reviewers out there that the outdoor remote sensor is not designed to withstand Michigan winters, consider however the fact that the remote sensor is actually two pieces. One piece that you mount to the house or wherever you wish and the other piece is the actual remote sensor. In other words, if the sensor goes bad... buy a new one and you do not have to drill any new holes, just pop out the dead sensor and replace. If you are not happy with this and think the remote sensor should have been designed better (I agree with you); then a $45 La Crosse weather station is not for you.
3. Excellent range. I have the remote sensor in the front of my house and the display ALL the way in the back corner of my house. The signal must beam through the exterior of the house, my living room, kitchen, bathroom and to the corner of our bedroom. Quite impressive.
CONS:
1. Come on folks (La Crosse). If you provide an A/C cable to plug in the unit, why not then provide an option to keep the backlight display on? Who wants to fumble around the room trying to press the button to turn it on?
IN SUMMARY:
Don't waste your precious time. If you need a weather station that: (1) tells BOTH outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity then this unit is for you.

Comment:
I got this as a gift Christmas a few years back. At first I was disappointed as it was much more complex than what I wanted (i wanted something to tell me how hot it was outside). I also was not keen on a large red light on my ceiling (it projects the time and temp). I now catch myself watching it everynight trying to guess what time it will hit a certain temp.
I have never changed the battery and as far as durability goes A plus.
I live in Vegas and it can get very hot and stay hot. I was afraid that the outside attachment would melt or short do to the extreme hot. As far as the rain forcast it usally is off, but that is normal since the local weatherman never seems to get it right.
Great product that does alot. No problems after 3 summers in Vegas.

this is why i like this clock:
1. The backlight cannot be set to remain on continuously - it only lights when a button is pushed - but, the on-ceiling projection shows the time, perfectly well, and I'm near sighted with 10 ft. ceilings. That's all I need. You can set the projection to time and temp, but time-only is the way I set it.
2. General build quality is very good - the buttons are sturdy, and well placed. The unit is shaped like a book, set on a heavy-enough base, that won't break anything it fell on it like a toe or a kid's head (but I suppose it could draw blood from the head if it fell on a corner) .
3. The TIME display Is large enough to see cross a good size room. If it was any bigger it would not fit well on the night-stand.
4. There are 2 alarms, not one, I've used it already and it's great. And the sound is fine too. Musical alarm from clock radio tends to blend in the background of early morning dreams and sometimes I wont wake up with music.
5. The sensors are accurate to 1/10 of one degree! which I tested to be correct. I put both sensors along with an old thermometer next to each other and they all were the same.
6. It reads to the second in sync with my other atomic clock,
Note: if you find one for $25.00 on sale somewhere, buy 3! It makes a cool gift for a gadget lover.

Comment:
Until recently I had the little brother to this unit and really loved it. My needs recently changed and I wanted to be able to view the clock at night without having to reach over and tap a button. I chose this unit because it projects the time and outside temperature on the ceiling so all I have to do is look up and see the time.
It gives a fairly accurate forecast depicted by Oscar Outlook (the little man in the display). Oscar will dress according to the weather conditions to give you an idea of what to expect. I've found that the forecast is about 90% accurate!
The clock sets itself via radio waves from the atomic clock in Boulder, CO. It is very accurate and I never have to worry about setting it.
Overall I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and I would do it all over again if I had to.

If you don't have on of these, get one. I got one as a gift about 2 years or so ago. When I saw it I thought, "Oh no, another lame gift." I was wrong. I set it up in about 10 minutes and it's been working fine ever since. The ceiling projection of time and temperature is great in the middle of the night. No turning or moving in bed to see how much longer you have to sleep. I didn't think the temperature feature would be such a big deal but I glance at it all the time. The weather forecast it gives has also been as acurate as the guys on TV. I've given several of these as gifts since I got mine and I've gotten very positive feedback on it.
