Title: Accurate, easy to use, nice display
Review: Very accurate and I really like the display. A few days after I bought this WeatherStation (C85845-1), they discontinued it and came out with a newer model (308-1414B-INT) I decided to see how well it worked and how much I liked they display.In my opinion, the display on this older version is less cluttered and easier to read than the newer version, but that is personal preference. I think it also looks cleaner with the buttons hidden. It was a few dollars less than the newer version. It does everything I need which is inside and outside temperature and humidity. Interestingly, it has a bunch of alarms you can set for high temp, low temp, high humidity, low humidity etc.I compared the lacrosse weather station with temperature and humidity I had on other devices. They were all within a degree of each other and a few percent humidity. I even used a Digital temperature gun to double check all the thermometers. I've checked it over a few days and it continues to be quite consistent. I have a north facing metal overhang that I can attach sensor unit to, with some padding to avoid transmitting any heat or cool from the overhang to the sensor. The sensors stay out of the sun and the rain, which is important.I had a previous lacrosse model that was also a rain station. It was more basic and it chewed through batteries like crazy. This lacrosse model is powered by an AC adapter with battery back up. When you unplug the AC adapter, the display will stay lit for a few seconds and then it will dim. But you can still read it if you need to.Like my other lacrosse unit, I found this one intuitive to use and it provides the useful information I need. I only had it turned on for about three days and I saw the forecast display change from "sunny" to "cloudy." Sure enough, it was cloudy all day.I appreciate they put a dimmer on it as well as I have this in my den and I can dim the display when I watch TV. I don't get rain amounts anymore but I can get that from a slew of Wunder-stations in my neighborhood. I do like that I can get the precise temperature and humidity outside. We live in a hilly area so there are microclimates everywhere.If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive, yet fairly full featured Basic WeatherStation, I don't think you'll go wrong with either finding this model on sale or the new model (308-1414B-INT). I have attached a picture to show well the looks like when I look at it from my chair

Title: Hopefully a glitch in QC at factory - updated: replacement works great!
Review: Seems like a good product, lots of information for the $$ spent.However, the QC at the factory missed - at least this one.10-digit of indoor humidity level has dead and weak segments. They are 8-segment numbers and several are either dead or weak on the 10-digit. Giving it 4-stars for now...Returning for a replacement.If the replacement works, then I will be happy. I will add information to how it works at that point...If the replacement shows the same or other defects, my review will be edited/appended and the stars "will plummet".NOTE: Amazon made the return process painless - they get 5 stars for that!=================Update, 02/16/2023 - now 5 stars!Have owned and used the replacement for ~6 days now.=> Display on replacement unit has ALL segments for all digits and information visible!What I like:-------------------*Easy to program. I set the clock deliberately "off" enough to check the WWV/NIST receiver. By next morning when it had found the transmitter, the clock was set!*Very bright display, even in a fully lit room. It can be read from across the kitchen. One small gripe, if they had auto-dimming feature, that would be fantastic. Like I said... VERY bright display...*Accurate as far as I can tell - indoor seems very accurate (see pics), the outdoor within +/- 2 degrees more or less (see pics). I have to say that outdoor, I am happy with that - I use it to get a general idea of if it is "sweater/fleece or T-shirt" weather anyway, not for precision measurements!-------------------I used a Fluke 179 multimeter with a "type K" thermocouple, Fluke 80BK-A to measure against the LaCrosse. The meter is "good for" 0.1 degree resolution with a 1% accuracy between -40F and +752F (!), however the thermocouple is listed as "Accuracy: +/- 2.2 °C or 2% whichever is greater ((0 to 260 °C)".All measurements were taken before sunrise, to avoid any solar "influence" on the outdoor readings.=> I will NOT say that my Fluke is more accurate than the LaCrosse station - I have no evidence to support that! And I will not go through the rigmarole of calibrating the thermocouple...*Outdoor sensor: placed it in the ribbed weather housing (LaCrosse 925-1418) they recommend and attached it to the north side of a 4"x4" post. One gripe there: the screwheads (Phillips) require a very "sharp" (read: new) screwdriver if you don't want to slip and round out the screw heads' "+" grooves. ...and predrill the holes for the screws!Not so fond of:-------------------*The "landscape" weather forecast. Yes, it has trend arrows, etc. But being "old school" I would like the barometer reading in numbers presented. The WX-station I replaced (Ac*rite) had a 12 hour barometer graph with numbers readings, that was nice!*Minor gripe: the buttons on top are labeled on the backside and since I have my station wall-mounted I need to take it down to read the button labels so I know which one to push (do YOU remember all buttons on all equipment you have?) Will print a label strip and attach on the front for my benefit...*Minor gripe 2: If they had made the major numbers a little smaller, they could have fit max/min reading numbers in w.o. you having to push the temp button to cycle through and view them...Summary:-------------------*Comes with AC adapter, and uses three AA-batteries for backup*Has all the information available that I want (except the barometer numbers...)*Shows trends (with arrows)*Shows min/max (requires button push)*Automatic time adjustment through the WWV/NIST receiver*Very bright and clear display. VERY bright...*Display is a bit "busy", and they seem to not knowing when to mix graphics, bars, and numbers.*I believe it to be a "good investment". Time will tell. I will recommend this, but do buy the outdoor housing for the sending unit!-------------------The Ac*rite it replaces has served us well, but started to give trouble with the remote sending units, one dying all together and the replacement not staying connected. Whether the connection issue is with the sending or receiving unit I have not figured out. Also, the Ac*rite display was getting very dim (yes, all new batteries and AC adapter connected) and the brightness is set to 100%... Perfect for a completely dark room, however, my kitchen is not. Can't complain - had it for MANY years...

Title: Digital Mini Weather Station
Review: I like the weather station very much. The digits are large, bright and easy to read. The only thing I don't like is that the high/low doesn't display unless unless you go to the unit and punch buttons. My old one that I used in the kitchen for 25 plus years, finally gave up and it was an Acurite station that was battery powered only. I liked that one and it displayed the high/low in smaller digits all the time. I bought another one that was colored and the main numbers were so small I couldn't read them across the room. I sent that one back and got this La Crosse station and it has large numbers that are easy to read across the room, but I give it 4 stars as the high/low temperatures are not on display without pushing a button.

Review: Although this is an old model it still stands out on its own.Beautiful bold display. Not very bright though and little difficult to read if it is not approximately at your eye level.But I am loving it. Accurate sensors. Simple no frills setup and it does what is supposed to do very well - read temperature, humidity, air pressure and forecast the short term weather!The trend arrows and weather improving / worsening indicator arrows are super useful as well!I have hung it near my key holder so that I can read the weather before stepping out of the house everytime.It definitely adds a charm to my living room.

Review: ... you will need to address the Power Supply issue as mentioned in many other reviews.Unfortunately these devices only come supplied with a 110V mini Plug Pack, they are not designed to run from 240V even with a basic travel adaptor. Fortunately however they only need 5V which is the same voltage a USB port can produce so as per my pics all you need is to purchase an inexpensive USB to 3.5x1.35mm DC cable, connect it to an old USB Charger/Plugpack (or any USB port) and you're done! As seen in the photo, I'm using a USB Powerbank purely to demonstrate how easy this is to achieve but of course I'm using a small USB plugpack in its permanent location.Note: the right-angle plug on the cable I bought off eBay (item: 154527783652) is a bit larger than the original so although it fits and works perfectly it isn't as neat & tidy as it could be.
