Good large display
Display is easy to see. Seems accurate when compared to other temperature displays I have around the house. Easy to set up and connect to external sensor. Wish that the numbers were backlit so I could see it in the dark.

Better than I even expected.
Was exactly what I was wanting, clock and both temperatures indoor and out. Was easy to set up and works great.

very nice but
I like that the numbers are big and easy to read. You can hook up to three outdoor sensors. My hubby bought me one for xmas so I wanted to get two more to put in other rooms and put the sensors in diff locations. Unfortunately got the one that said used/like new and it was supposed to come with everything but only one of the 2 had an outdoor sensor or directions. Tried to get help but no luck so I'm SOL. like the item but not so much the CS

ALMOST A FULL STATION
This station almost covers everything, provided of course you buy the rain gauge and multifunction sensor. The sensor that comes with it only provides temp, not humidity. That requires a separate purchase of another sensor. The rain gauge is optional also. After those purchases it will do: temp (inside and out), humidity (inside and out), rain (present, hour, day, week, month, year), time, day, year. Display is either or, where you have to push buttons for the second display. There is plenty of room on the display for other functions to display, so I guess their reasoning is large numbers for easier reading but it is an annoyance to have to push a button for the secondary display. But it works good, so far.

Great Item Still and update
Very easy to read, set, reset (change batteries), and presents pretty accurate temperatures. Easy to mount, looks nice, handy in our RV (and the 2nd unit in our bedroom, to add to the others we have in our house). I will be setting the remote outside in the shade, in a freezer type zip-lock baggie, and try not to forget it (I have a set of reminders (highly recommended) from Camping World that I place on my steering wheel, called 'RV Minders', which are great). I wish Amazon carried these. It functions well and I have experience with several LaCrosse units in my house (and other types); Atomic clocks, Sky Scan and Oregon Scientific. Nothing new here.Most people forget how to program and reset but I do this 1-2 times a year for all (6) of my remote units. Also, mixed, old, or cold batteries affect these negatively. I do not recommend Lithium batteries (like Energizer) or rechargables, for any units like this. I recommend Costco Kirkland batteries. This unit works very well despite bad reviews! Just read the instructions and understand them and get some experience.Expect any device like this to give you 'an idea' of the temperatures, but do not look for ACCURACY unless you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars. Even AccuWeather, or, The Weather Channel, is not exact, and all of the weather channels and gadgets can vary quite a bit, especially since their sensors are located in different places (can be miles apart) i.e. North Hollywood, CA, temps. can be sensed from Burbank, Van Nuys, L.A. or even hot Woodland Hills.Most of the bad reviewers have poor expectations or lack experience in using these devices. One does not get 'accurate' with 'inexpensive', and, you do not hire technicians to adjust your settings or set these up for you. 'So what' if it is off 3 degrees, if it is around 20 it is cold, if around 90 it is hot? If you are around 70-80 it is going to be comfortable. The temperature, and barometric pressure, can vary a lot in just 100 yards, or in sun, or shade!! A major internet weather station takes our temperature reading from the nearest airport, 20 miles away in a valley, which varies a lot from our temperature near the mountains, locally. Expect an 'idea' of the temperature, not 'accuracy', and these will work fine. And, save the instructions for resets when you change batteries (change the remote first). Protect the remote from rain, wind, sprinklers, and damage.I bought a second unit in July 2013 and it works great! I made changes above. Both units have easy-to-access batteries; no small screws - thumb slides or latches, which are quick and easy. Some other units have small screws to remove. I recommend freezer zip-lock bags to protect them.

Why I gave the La Crosse Digital Thermometer a 1 Star and hope to end up changing it to a 5 Star
Right now I am giving this a 1 star.I purchased the digital thermometer and two senors. New Duracell alkaline batteries were used. All three units synced perfectly and the temperature readings were big and bold. Exactly what I wanted to measure the temperatures in the garage, attic and the outdoors. I was very happy.Two weeks into the installation, the screen on the temperature reader went dark. I could sill see the sensor readings on the screen but they were very faint. I emailed La Crosse Tech and asked how long batteries were to last. I was told from 12 to 18 months.I replaced all the batteries in the three units with new Energizer alkaline batteries.. Once again all three synced and worked perfectly. I re-installed the sensors in their spot and everything looked good. I was happy once more.A week in to the re-installation, the temperature reader stopped giving the temperature readings of the sensors. Where the sensor readings were on the reader were now black bars. I watch for about three days and the sensors never connected back to the thermometer reader. About three days into watching the reader to see if the sensors eventually connected, an "RX" appeared on the screen of the reader. I looked up what "RX" meant. It meant that the batteries in the sensors were low. I was discouraged. Not in a million years was I going to climb into the attic to get one of the sensors, buy new batteries for the three units and re-install every couple weeks.I called La Crosse and told them what was happening. I was giving a Service Ticket number to have all three units sent back to the company to see what was wrong. I just got back from the Post Office where I mailed back the units to La Crosse at a cost of $4.00.If and when I get the temperate reader and two sensors back and they work as they should, I will be excited. And I will log back into Amazon and change my 1 Star rating to 5 Star.------------------------------------------12/01/13I received the temperature reader and two sensors back from La Crosse on 11/27/13. In the package was a note stating that the two sensors checked out to be working. The temperature reader was bad. The reader was replaced. I synced both sensors with the new reader. They synced and worked perfectly. All three are in place and working. Now to see if they last more than two weeks.--------------------------------------------12/22/13The replacement reader has been working perfectly for a month. I really like this unit and so glad that it is working perfectly, exactly what I hoped for. I am changing my rating to a Five Star from the One Star that originally rated.
