Has worked will for over two years [Posted on 2007-04-10]
I have owned this wireless thermometer for over two years. It has worked well. I have the remote sensor on the outdoor porch protected from the weather and sun. It is about 30 feet away. It just does its thing, and that is great. I have not used the alarm clock nor snooze function (snooze??).
Only complaints: Well I lost my manual and I forgot it was an atomic clock. The setting clock setting buttons just plain won't work. It takes 12-24 hours for the atomic clock to set.
Only other thing, is I will be darned if I can find it's model number. Everything these days is referenced by a model number (even when I went on line to try to find a manual). Note that even this Amazon ad does not indicate a model number I can see.
Overall. I liked it. It works for me.
Mediocre [Posted on 2007-12-16]
The atomic clock has only worked once in a great while. It won't update anymore and it's annoying to look at this thing and always see the wrong time.
Don't lose the manual since there does not appear to be any info on how to program this thing online.
Outside temperature works ok if you can find a north facing location near to where the unit will be. Also, you cannot place the unit where there is any heat absorbing material (asphalt etc.) nearby as this will result in inflated temps.
Simple, compact self setting clock with thermometers [Posted on 2008-02-26]
I've had this for over a month it it works fine. It doesn't have the barometer, forecaster and humidity like my wonderful and reliable Oregon Scientific at my home. I use it in the office and will use it for travel and camping. I like the snooze and backlight feature which few have at this price range. I also like the alarm clock. Both thermometers seem accurate and helps when I need to go out in the field for work. The self setting feature (to the radio control/atomic clock in Colorado) works fine in my area. I also like the available manual reset. I found out that you need to be in an open area away from buildings to reset it to work well. I'm pleased with it overall.
