(More customer reviews)Purchased the 7-day Weather FX elsewhere a few days ago.
OVERALL -- after much researching of many brands, AM VERY SATISFIED!
>> I really love the clean, easy-to-read screen. Most of the other weather stations have so much information squeezed onto the screen that it is a headache to quickly find what is most important -- the time, the current day's forecast, & then what's coming up. LAYOUT is perfect.
>> The data comes from their "forecast" NOT actual reported local data. So far, on my unit, it's always been OFF by a few degrees (the real high in my town being 1-4 deg higher than what has been forecast this week).
>> Also, the color on my unit is stuck on "yellow" (70s) when it should have been orange (80s) & red (90s) for the past week. However, that is not a problem as, when I wake up to go to work, to see the HIGH TEMP & RAIN forecast so that I can dress appropriately is just a matter of looking at the numbers without worrying about the color (yellow backlight is very easy for reading the LCD data).
>> The viewing angle is rather limited. I put it up on a bookshelf next to the bed & cannot see the LCD data. Also, the A/C cord is short & you'll have to place it very close to an A/C outlet.
>> When powered in A/C mode, the backlight is always ON, VERY bright, & easy to see in the dark! LOVE THAT. However, there is no way to time a dimmer function, so you may be putting a bit of cloth over it when you sleep.
Just plug it in, pick your city, wait about 30 min (or less) & you're ready to go.
Hope this helps in your purchasing decision.
Thanks Amazon for allowing customer comments.
