Very Informative Weather Station

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2009

This weather station works very well with only batteries needed for weather station and wireless sensor. Sensor is working very well and relaying outdoor temperature very well. Seems to be very accurate. The only reason for 4 vs. 5 stars is because the prediction of rainy weather based on the sensor information has not proven accurate, but it's a prediction as I understand. We have it mainly for showing indoor and outdoor temperature so we can determine what is best to wear.

The Weather Girl is a great feature showing what to expect

We just returned from 6 weeks in Europe and discovered this unit in Holland but waited to buy it here on Amazon with free shipping. This weather station works great. The wireless outdoor sensor gives me current temperature and the unit inside reads temperature/humidity/time /date/predicts future weather with and arrow pointing up (improving) sideways(same...no change) or down (worse). The weather girl icon is cute and helps to show how to dress for the day. My wife doesn't like her as she is a little to cute in here bikini. Calendar and sunrise are nice too. It's a compact worthy desktop addition. My first go-round with setting it up was clumsy. Read the directions on how to set it up Before installing the two sets of batteries. The unit does a hand shake electronically with the wireless remote and they must agree on a code and frequency. This is done automatically but requires the remote batteries to go in first then the units must be 5 feet apart before the base batteries(AA size) are installed. The second attempt at set up went much smoother when I kept the units over 5 feet apart. If you want an economical weather station that works give this a serious look of the one with the weather boy. Actually I bought both units for each end of the house and use just one outside transmitter for both. It works great.

Your product description of this product is missleading. This clock is not atomic. That is the reason I bought it. It should be corrected. Larry Simons

Fun While It Lasted

I have been quite happy with this product since I bought it in February, 2010. The family named her Wanda the Weather Girl. However, I needed to change the batteries in the remote unit last week, and when I did, the remote unit failed to synchronize with the base unit, and with the exception of the clock, the base unit stopped working. So she lasted a total of about 17-months. I was disappointed to say the least.

Unit works fine.

I have used the unit for 3 months or so. Have had no problems thus far. I like the fact that if you place the in and outdoor devices next to each other the temp on both is the same. Cannot say that for any of the other indoor/outdoor units I have owned.

I purchased this one a while back to use at my home and just purchased a second one for use in the barn where my horse is boarded. Both are serving me well and are very accurate. The second one did not set the first time I put the batteries in. I followed instructions by removing/re-inserting the batteries and it worked. It took about an hour for accurate time but all else displayed correctly immediately.

Bought this as a gift for my dad because the other weather station I bought him quit working. He loves this. He had a little trouble setting it up but my mom figured out the problem.....my dad. My mom also put new batteries in the old sensor and got it working again for awhile. If there is one flaw with these systems its the sensors going out. All in all these are wonderful to have...more acurate than the weathermen on tv.

Some clarification for the station specs

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2011

I got this weather station today and quite satisfied with it so far. Some update on the station features that are outlined wrong in the unit description:

1.This unit supports just manual time entry, not Atomic time auto sync as advertised;
2. The remote sensor sends just temperature data, not humidity as it can be interpreted from the description (it displays just the inside humidity level);
3. The remote sensor runs on AA batteries,not AAA batteries as described (just a minor discrepancy);

Although I am a bit disappointed that those features are not present (and hope that Amazon adjusts the item description accordingly), I still like the station look and the feature set. I also ordered temperature/humidity remote sensor La Crosse Technology TX28U-IT. Although it will not display outside humidity on the WS-9730U-IT unit, it will show it on the built-in LCD display, so I can at least get the data once I need it.

I bought this for my wife because she is always asking if its cold out. She loves the little bikini girl that dresses for the weather. However, this was created for people that live in cooler climates. Here in Arizona the bikini girl will almost always be in a bikini. They should have added some sort of an adjustment for climate regions. The device also seems to be off by about 2º. My wife still loves this though.
