Love that I can glance at the face for temperature and get an accurate forcast for the day ahead

This device makes it very simple to check the current weather conditions, including your inside temperature. The 7-day forecast, complete with highs and lows is clearly displayed with nice graphic weather icons. The display backlight color changes with the current temperature, which is a nice touch. You do not need a computer or Internet access for the unit to work. It receives RF weather forecasts from AccuWeather, which is available for over 150 cities. Recommend this product to anyone who likes to check the upcoming conditions quickly and without turning on a TV, radio or computer. Comes complete with a power supply. A real handy tool when getting ready for work, school, etc.

This is really an attractive, well designed large display 7 day weather forecaster. It is well made and offers a lot of great features. One thing I would have to say, however, is that it's a little slow in updating its weather information, so the temperature setting lags behind what the actual temperature is outside. But, all in all, I would recommend this unit as a great value and an interesting, well-thought out instrument.

Excellent for getting a brief overveiw of the day's weather (temp--current, high, and low; precipitation; wind; UV index), as well as the weather for the rest of the week. Screen is easy to read. Includes an alarm clock with a snooze button. The ability to dim the background color or turn it off is a nice feature, as is the ability to see the indoor temperature. (Note that when operating on battery power, the background color feature is disabled. This is unfortunate since it limits where you can place the unit if you want to use this feature.) Only other con is that the attached stand is not adjustable. This makes the screen harder to read from some angles.

I had a similar product that I used as an alarm clock prior to this one- and thought this would make a sound replacement. Initially, it seemed great. The display is large, the weather information accurate and useful. Unfortunately, as an alarm clock, it's a total miss. The backlight is too bright to leave on all the time, but there's no easily accessible button to turn it on for a moment. The buttons are difficult to access, so there is a lot of fumbling to turn on the backlight or turn the alarm off. Overall, great for the kitchen, bad for the bedroom.

I have lots of weather indicators around the house. This is my favorite so far.

I love being able to locate this anywhere and receive the data through the air. One nice thing about this model is the inclusion of wind direction and speed. Really makes a difference when planning an outdoor activity.

Two surprises I had when I received it: it is BIG! And BRIGHT! I turned down the brightness and it is much better. As for the size, well I can't change that. We affectionately refer to this as our JumboTron. But it's fine sitting on a table or piano.

I highly recommend this. My only hope is that it lasts a long time. I had a weather cube by the same company (Ambient, maker of this device also) and it failed after a couple of years. Keeping our fingers crossed.

I owned one before that I used for my Local weather and bought a second unit recently to watch the weather in a 2nd City where I have relatives.

The color Option is really great and allows for an idea of the Temperature range at the time.

The only drawback is that it is hard toe read if not at eye level and the degeree of vision from the sides is rather low, but does not detract from it's best features.

I love this this 7 Day Weather Station and would recommend it to average weather watchers. It has enough info to be useful without a lot of stuff that doesn't matter to most of us. Long range 7 day forcasting is great. Modern looking enough to set on a counter without the goofy looking stick-people icons on the screen. This site has the best price I have found so far.
