Editorial Review:

Receive a wealth of information at once from "Oscar" the forecaster, a friendly character featured in the center of this desktop weather station. This atomic clock weather station displays (in large, easy to read digits) inside and outside temperatures, as well as inside humidity. It even calculates sunrise and sunset, displays radio controlled time and date, and automatically updates for daylight savings time. Set the built-in alarm for important appointments. Depending on the weather conditions, "Oscar" is programmed in 15 various icons to reflect the weather, from bundled up for cold, to holding an umbrella for rain, wearing a swimsuit for sun, etc. Assembly level/degree of difficulty: No Assembly Required.

On the Go Weather Station:

La Crosse Technology WS-9611U Wireless Sun/Moon Weather Station with 15 Advanced Forecast Icons
This is a great mobile unit with its out side sensor, great for RVing, camping & boating, has acceptable range of transmission. So whats not to like. Easy to set up clear instructions. Four out of Five stars not perfect but what is!!!

Horribly Inaccurate:

I bought this because it seemed like a cool idea. However I noticed that the temp readings are depressingly inaccurate, ESPECIALLY the outdoor temp. I have access to very expensive equipment at work that reads temperatures and this was off by about 4-5 degrees for the indoor temp and about 10-12 degrees for outdoor temp. Man I would be embarassed to release a product that performed so poorly at the job it was supposed to do. It's cool in concept and wouldn't be a bad idea if you don't care about the useless... more info

Don't buy the TX6U with the WS-9611U-IT:

The weather station gets four out of five stars, but I give Amazon a big zero for the "frequently purchased with" feature of their site. It recommends buying the TX6U wireless temperature sensor with this unit, but it is not compatible. The TX6U is a 433 Mhz sensor but the weather station uses a 915 Mhz sensor (the TX29U-IT). Don't buy the TX6U with this model weather station.
I subtract one star for the weather station because the two little green LEDs on the right side barely illuminate the screen... more info

Great little weather station.:

For the price, this is a great little weather station. Check the dimensions, it is fairly small, but just big enough to sit on our kitchen counter to be checked several times a day. I like the little man, his predictions of rain are pretty accurate, although he often bundles up a bit sooner than I do. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
