There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Concerning the atomic feature and moon phases, I am not using either of these as I don't currently live in the US. I actually wanted the model WS-8157 that looks exactly like this, but with the barometric pressure/weather forecaster instead of the moon phases, but I couldn't find that (older?) model in silver, so picked this up instead. I'm fine with setting this manually, and it looks great in my kitchen with my aluminum and stainless appliances. As some have mentioned, it seems to go through batteries pretty quickly -- I got 4 months out of my Duracell's before the LED display started to dim and I replaced them. I tested the batteries before tossing, and one was completely dead--the other still had a little juice left. I gotta wonder if La Crosse couldn't have engineered this to use 3 or 4 AA's so that it would last longer (at least 6 months so I can proactively change the batteries when time changes in the states). One last thought: I would have preferred if this was manufactured in the US. I thought about taking one star off for this reason--would that be fair?
One almost needs a degree in fluid mechanics and thermodynamic to get it right in terms of placement. Air circulation is important, but keep the circulation less than a meter a second if possible. Sorry, I had to throw that in.
Now, to the real data:
Mine is 2.5 years old and only needed one change of battery. I have never lost time or outdoor temperature readings, and my readings are quite accurate. The factory battery did not last long. The replacement battery (whatever Costco sells) has lasted over 2 years now.
I also have two other Lacrosse clock with temperature readings like this one. They have run very well for over 4 years, with only one battery change each. Never a hiccup.
Actually, I have two more Lacrosse clocks, but these are only small folding alarm atomic clocks. I travel with one of them. I know, I know, why bring it when a cell phone can works as an alarm clock. I guess it's habit. Those are 7 years old and only had 3 battery change.
By now, one can tell I'm a lazy consumer who is comfortable with one brand and not trying another brand. It's kinda true. I have one Oregon Scientific unit and it worked great for 18 years now.
I agree that customer service by Lacrosse is very poor. Heck, I even say it's non-existent (hey, nobody ever called me back). It helps if you are an engineer who can figure things out, or even take the clock apart and see what's wrong.
One piece of advice: Do not hang anything until everything is working. Set things up inside, having the clock and the "outdoor" sensor within a few feet of each other. Once everything is working, wait a day or two before taking the outdoor sensor outside.
