Happy!

In my specific conditions, even though the base unit can be difficult to see at a distance, the price and the ability for the sensor units to connect to the base as well as they do allow me to have the sensor close by and very easy to see. I have a somewhat unique situation here.

I've got one sensor underneath a grand piano to monitor temp/humidity. The sensor signal path is blocked by some heavy wooden beams underneath the piano, the pianos cast iron harp plate, the outside wooden case of the piano, and a house wall.

Another sensor is on an outside wall with another inside wall in between the sensor and the base.

I've got the third sensor outside under the eaves of the house and it's probably the most direct path for the sensor signal to travel to the base.

Although there is a door into the room where I have the base unit, the base unit has no direct RF path to any of the sensors but they all connect quickly. The base unit also picks up WWVB in it's current location.

I debated whether to give this a 4 or a 5 but again, the price was right and this unit does exactly what I need. So for me this unit is a "5" and I'm very happy with this unit. I've looked for a three sensor replacement for an old Radio Shack unit with the same features and this is the best replacement that I was able to find.

It would be nice if at some point, LaCrosse had a bigger base station, with better visibility of the readout available (one that would accept three sensors) but I'm not worried about it.

Difficult to read

This unit is great is the sense that it comes with 3 sensors and allows you to monitor 3 different areas. The huge negative is that the display is weird. The base unit needs to sit in certain angles depending on room lighting in order for the display to sharply show its data. All the numbers on the display will look faded depending on which angle you are looking at it and the lighting in the room you are in. However, I needed to replace a sensor for my living room unit and I am having the two read the same sensor for outside weather. Sensors are $20/piece. Making this a relatively acceptable value IF you had the buy a single sensor. Read full review...

Needs more ability to adjust features

The one item I don't like is the "happy face, sad face symbols" I would like to be able to shut them off! I prefer 65 degrees with 30% or less humidity. The face is sad when I'm comfortable and happy when I'm not. It seems sadistic.

It would also be nice if the main unit could be hung on a wall rather than set on a counter.

Very good product

We have a walk out basement, and I've been afraid our thermostat has not been working. I put sensors outside, in a living room, and the basement, and kept the main unit in our bedroom. I have been able to monitor the temps in each area to determine that the thermostat for the basement area has not been working and has been keeping that part of the house at 77 degrees. I've now changed the thermostat and things are good. The only pitfall is that I've not been able to find a backlight for the unit. I have to have enough light directly on the unit to see the numbers. Otherwise, it's great! Worth the money.Read full review...

Weather Station

This weather station is ready to set up. It has large numbers and letters which makes it easy to read. The three remote sensors are reliable and it makes it nice to see the outside temperature as well well as two other places. A backlight, manually turn on and off, would be nice if they should ever upgrade this unit.Read full review...

The very best peace of mind with this weather station.

My old weather station finally died and I needed to replace it. The best part of this particular weather station is the fact that it comes with three different sensors. I'm able to monitor my detached garage now without having to go outside in nasty weather to be certain the furnace is working. It also allows me to monitor my storage space under my patio to be certain nothing is freezing in winter and the dehumidifier is working properly the rest of the seasons. Saves a lot of extra trips to check on things. Peace of mind has come cheaply! Thanks for a great product.Read full review...

easy to set up and use

I like that the receiver and transmitters all use the same size aa batterys, they sink up quickly, and you can see the temperature of all 4 locations without pressing any buttons
