La Crosse Technology Ws-2811Sal-It Professional Weather Center (Electronics-Other / Weather Stations) Review

Reuturned the item. Although it appears to be an above average product when seen on the internet - upon closer inspection after receipt, it did not appear to be capable of withstanding the outdoor elements. It basically is made entirely of plastic and not completely in line with what one might expect at this price point. One of the pieces of the housing was also cracked. Otherwise, it might be a decent buy.

Davis 6250 Vantage Vue Complete Wireless Weather Station Review

Cannot say enough about how much I like this station! It performs exactly as advertised and is very easy to install and operate. It appears to have been constructed with quality components that should survive the potential hurricane winds we expect in Florida. It connects easily with the internet (using the not-included link components purchased separately) and it is nice to be able to access the weather "in your backyard" from anywhere you have internet connection capability across the planet. Folks are impressed when I "access" the weather at home using my iPhone!
As usual, I purchased this station from Amazon, Why? Because I know that if it did not meet, or exceed, my expectations it would be returned without the slightest hassle. Amazon replaced a huge wide-screen TV last year when I detected a slight black line running through the center of the TV. You had to stand off to the side "to see" the line but that was enough for me to ask for a replacement. Amazon shipped the new TV without even receiving the old one back! The old one was picked up at the same time the new one was delivered. Fantastic!

Oregon Scientific RMR382-B Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Atomic Clock, Black Review

So far the device has entirely lived up to expectations. Atomic Clock feature works fine and the range and accuracy on the remote sensor seems fair enough -- there is often about a 1-2 degree difference between the sensor and main unit if set right next to each other, but this is minor for the uses we get out of it (a quick look at outside temps during the winter).
The only issue we ran into that was "problematic" was the Ice Alarm feature. This feature sets off the devices alarm anytime the temperature drops between 32 and 27 degrees or so to alert you to possible icy conditions. The problem is that in cold climates the temperature hovers in that range all winter long...so the alarm goes off continually every 40 seconds or so.
We just happened upon a solution that has worked perfectly. The ice alarm only works on Channel 1. So, if you set the outside sensor to Channel 2 or 3 the ice alarm is disabled and is no longer triggered. Obviously, they should have an ability to shut it off, but this is it...and even this isn't listed in the instructions.

Keep informed of current temperatures with this wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer. From Oregon Scientific, the thermometer allows users to plan appropriately for weather conditions while monitoring the indoor climate for maximum comfort. The thermometer's clock also self-sets via radio communication with the US atomic clock for precise time.
The sleek black thermometer is designed to stand upright on a tabletop or shelf. On the easy-to-read LCD screen, the thermometer displays the time, time zone, date, radio signal, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and temperature trends icons. A green LED ice alert light blinks when the outdoor temperature dips below 37 degrees F. Equipped with five language settings (English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German), the thermometer also provides an alarm clock function with an 8 minute snooze. The thermometer comes with one THN132N wireless temperature sensor to monitor outdoor temperatures, conveying data to the base unit from up to 100 feet away at a 433 MHz frequency. For more accurate readings, shelter the sensor from direct rain and sun exposure. The thermometer measures indoor temperatures ranging from 23 to 122 degrees F, and outdoor temperatures from –4 to 140 degrees F. Celsius display is also available. For thorough weather data, the thermometer accommodates up to three remote sensors, and records minimum and maximum temperatures. Low battery indicators for the base unit and the sensor appear on the display screen. The thermometer requires the separate purchase of two AAA batteries and one AA battery. To disable ice alert, visit the Oregon Scientific web page. A limited one-year guarantee covers this item. The base unit measures 3-3/4 inches wide by 2 inches deep by 4-3/5 inches high.
Manufacturer's note: Must press reset button on both sensor and thermometer unit after inserting batteries.
