Absolutely brilliant little gadget
Absolutely brilliant little gadget, that is far better than more expensive models! I originally ordered one that was £38, thinking that the more expensive it was, the better it was, but it was junk. I got this one instead which was £13 cheaper, it does everything I need it to (plus some things I don't). The outdoor sensor works well (distance 30M), it states it can work up to max of 100M but I can't comment on that particularly as I haven't tried. I needed to re-insert both sets of batteries (unit & sensor) a couple of times before they "woke up" to one another, and I would also recommend that you stand the sensor up (would be easier if the sensor had a stand too, like the main unit), but it does fine on a flat stable surface like shelving in the greenhouse, etc. Setting up is a piece of cake (not sure why so many complained it was hard?), plus you get a radio transmitted atomic clock signal, so don't have to worry if you set the time wrong either. A very useful and accurate little piece of kit.

Fiddly to set up but works fine
This replaced a failing weather station we've had that worked fine for several years. We chose this as the alternative based on value for money and information displayed. We wanted link to radio clock - this has this but took a long time to pick up the signal - much longer than two previous weather stations we've had. It was easy enough to adjust the time to UK from the European time the radio clock broadcasts. The other feature we liked was the sunrise and sunset times this weather station has (our last didn't have this). Out of the box it was showing back to front sunrise and sunset times even though software set to northern hemisphere. I thought changing it to southern hemisphere might fix it, it didn't but changing back to northern hemisphere had everything come right. Found our latitude and longitude readings from Google Maps, and we now have sunrise-sunset times that correlate reasonably with BBC weather app readings. The inside-outside temperatures read fine and it shows some weather prediction that we don't pay too much attention to. The instruction manual was clear enough though I think it helped that I had set up previous similar weather stations. So far, so good. How well batteries last, and longevity of item remains to be seen. So far loses a star because was fiddly to set up and took much longer than other weather stations we've had.

Good Value Weather Station
Does what it says on the tin and excellent for my needs. No 'bracket' - two screws and a cable tie but ok for me. Weather trend operating within 12 hours of set up and in/out temperatures/humidity in accord also. Aged eyes would have appreciated larger print in the manual but proper use of and respect for the english language helped greatly. The snooze light is a great help. A historical record of highest and lowest temperature occurrences would have been icing on the cake, though.

There are good points: it's possible to set the pressure reading ...
Well the radio-controlled clock doesn't work, but then I wouldn't expect it to; I've never found one that does! The unit is VERY complicated to set up, not helped by certain instructions in the manual which are just plain wrong. It's a case of trial and error I'm afraid. There are good points: it's possible to set the pressure reading to your locality, and the temperature reading is fairly accurate, although it takes a long time for the reading to change. I'm just waiting to see if the outdoor sensor is actually waterproof; others in the past, amazingly, have not been! Only time will tell.Overall: it's cheap, and you get what you pay for!

This is a great product for the price
This is a great product for the price. It arrived promptly. I inserted batteries (not supplied) in the main unit and the transmitter and it worked instantly, without any setup required. The clock and calendar set themselves automatically. The transmitter needs to be protected from direct rain and snow, so I have it inside an old plastic dustbin at the bottom of the garden, about 30 feet from the house. The main unit is on my kitchen window sill in a direct line of sight. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the weather readings, but they all look reasonable, so I'm very happy with this purchase.

Flawed UK Synching but excellent display
Very disappointing.In the UK (London) the synching is a nightmare to calibrate, even after 48 hours the SUNRISE and SUNSET have not correctly set (today, it says SUNRISE 13:49 and the SUNSET will be at 03:38. Not good). But the Lat. and Lon. is correct.The time calibration is from Germany and manual adjustment has to be made, as the UK changes from GMT to BST.The layout is however is very clear and the back-light is very handy. The Instruction Manual states: Item 33 is DATE (Y/M/D) which could be confusing for UK setting as we are more used to stating Day/Month/Year).The Pressure sequence display is essential for any amateur.The outdoor sensor is a fantastic slim-line design and can be discretely placed in the North aspect.However, as the SUNRISE/SUNSET cannot be recognised automatically, this item will be returned to for a refund.
