We live in the far Northern part of the midwest, and with all the terrible weather going on around the country, it seemed like I was always looking for my phone to check the weather conditions. I decided to look for a weather station for the house that would display the current temp outside along with humidity. I was looking for something easy to set up that would sit on a countertop and give us the weather stats whenever we wanted them.I liked this unit because:- It has a big display which makes it easy to read from a distance.- You can add batteries (not supplied) for backup and it plugs into a normal AC outlet for normal operation- Very easy to set up. I took it out of the box, read the directions (which seemed easy to understand), plugged it in, and it began searching for one of its programmed sources of weather information. Bingo! Found a source and started displaying the weather conditions for my location.- It also displays the current time and date which I did not have to set up.- I like the display which shows both outside weather conditions and inside temp/humidity. It is colorful and looks great sitting on our countertop.My only other comment involves the wireless sensor that you place somewhere outside your house. It also has a display that shows the outside temp and humidity. Not sure why you need a display on the outside sensor, since it will probably be located someplace that might not be readily accessible. I have mine in a shady spot off the front porch under an eve so that I can't just go outside and look at the display which is small enough that you have to be fairly close to read it. So, I guess it is a nice to have but not necessary depending on where you install the sensor.After using this for a week, I have no complaints. It works great, agrees pretty closely with our local TV weather, and was reasonable in cost.Update: I have to change my rating slightly. I have had this weather station for a while now and it is still a nice device. But I live in far North of Illinois, so Winter gets pretty cold up here. We have had a nice warm streak but recently the temperature has gotten down into the low 20's and high teens and the cold has caused an issue with the remote sensor. At around 20 degrees outside, the inside base station lost the remote signal and was just displaying - - for the outside temp and humidity. I thought maybe the battery on the remote unit was low, so I put a new battery in it. But still the base could not find the remote sensor and just displayed the - - where the readings were supposed to be. I tried resetting the base by taking out it's backup battery and unplugging it. Then putting the batteries back and plugging it in. No dice. So, I brought the remote sensor into the house and set it next to the base station and waited. After about 10 minutes, the remote warmed up and the base unit picked up the remote's signal and started working again. I tried putting the remote back outside in the cold and the same thing happened. After about a half hour outside, the remote's signal quit and the inside base station was again displaying - - for the temp and humidity. So, this time, I brought it back in, waited for the signal to return from the remote, and put the remote out in the garage where it stays warmer - no lower than 30 degrees. And the base and remote have worked fine since. When it warms up outside, I will put the sensor back out. But fair warning - It appears that this unit is sensitive to cold temps and, at least my remote, quit working when the temp gets around 20 degrees and below. So, if you live further South where the temps don't get so cold, this unit should work fine for you.This product has amazing distance when the remote is working. I have a brick house and the base unit is on the East side of the house next to the far wall. The garage is on the west side of the house and the remote signal has to travel through a brick wall, go outside, and travel through another brick wall to get to the base. And since I put the remote in the warmer garage for now, it works fine. I like the quality of the unit - feels like it is worth the money. And the display is colorful and you can set how bright you want it to be. If it wasn't for the cold weather issue, it would definitely still be a 5-star review.Update on 12/13/24: I contacted the seller regarding my issue with the remote not working in very cold temperatures and the seller got right back to me. They are very easy to work with and solved my issue by sending me a new remote at no cost. I also didn't have to return the old remote that had issues in cold temps. The new remote works great in our very cold weather right now! I am including a photo showing that the remote is working fine sitting outside in 9 degree (F) weather. Earlier this morning, it was only 1 degree (F) showing on the base and it was up to 9 degrees when I took the picture. The seller was very gracious and I got the replacement remote in just a few days. It works great and I am a happy buyer and would definitely recommend buying any product that the seller has on the Amazon store.

It's a beautiful demonstration of human ingenuity. This weather station has a great screen packed with weather data.It is easy enough to program and mount, but the viewing angle is important. I installed mine at about "sitting in a chair height". As far as accuracy goes, it's a big improvement over my "open the window" and stick my head out there to get a snootful of the coming day. Colorful, accurate, and sort of cheap.

I put one of these beside three old style bulb thermometers for testing. The three old style thermometers showed exactly the same reading while these units were consistnetly 1-2 degrees off. I did this test several times and the results were the same. I like the base unit because of the large numerals and easy to read but I would have liked the remote units to be more accurate.

The weather station works very well. The setup instructions are detailed and straightforward. The display has adjustable brightness with temperature readings that can easily be read from 20 ft away. It's neat that the time is satellite synced every night. The barometric pressure bar graph, forecast, moon phase, alerts, and comfort indicators are all quite informative. I have not used the alarm function so I can't comment on that.I ran into a problem with the time sync and humidity reading and needed to contact technical support. Rachel (the technical support person I worked with) replied timely to my request for assistance and quickly responded to my communications as we attempted to resolve the issues. After just a few days where we were unable to correct the problems, she had a free replacement sent to me--which worked perfectly right out of the box.I wholeheartedly recommend the weather station for it's functionality and the professionalism of the customer service.

Setting up the Newentor Weather Station was pretty straightforward. Insert the batteries, set the clock, calendar, and location (time zone) and you're pretty much good to go. I like the fact that it's got batteries in the base unit as well as a standard plug so that power outages or changing locations don't mean having to reset the information.The only thing I do not like is the fact that it is BRIGHT. Definitely not suitable for a bedside table unless you like a bright light shining in your eyes at night. As I recall, it is dim-able but I found the settings to be either too bright for use at night or not bright enough during the day - and I didn't want the hassle of switching them (Newentor, if you're reading this...). However, it does make a very convenient night light in the bathroom and lets me know what my day is going to look like - as well as letting me know how late I am.I guess that the thermometer is accurate (how can you tell unless you get a second one to compare it?) and the weather forecast seems to work as advertised.Overall, this is what I was looking for and I have not regrets about giving it s five-star rating.

This has been a very good unit. It works very well even at -35 celsius. I had an issue with the remote but that was not a manufacture issue. It got hit and fell to the ground. I ordered a couple replacements and have had zero issues since.

Its ok

- Bad viewing angle. Have to look fairly directly at it to read the screen properly.- Few functions not sure what it does and weren't explained well. Insignificant issue.- Placing outdoor sensor and other thermometer with it shows discrepancy of 0.8 degrees even after prolong period of time at same environment.- Fairly cheap for being accurate enough for average use.- CAN BE PLUGGED INTO WALL OUTLET! AWESOME : )- Screen can be set to be very bright, or very dark. Enough brightness options to satisfy most people.- Don't know how long it'll last..... Hopefully longer than my last thermometer of just 3 years.- Don't know how much battery the sensor eats up.... Hopefully less than my last thermometer.

I found it difficult to set up. It sometimes,for no apparent reason, goes black even while connected to power. The temperature indications are good. The moon phases appear inaccurate. Did not seem to connect to daylight saving

We ordered this weather station after our previous one failed. It arrived within two days and we are very pleased.Set up was easy and it seems very accurate.We monitor the inside and outside temperature and humidity all the time to adjust our air conditioning. We open all the windows once the temp and humidity drop.The unit is attractive and sits right on the back ledge of the kitchen counter.
