Customer Rating: Summary: best of the pack Comment: We have a similar unit by another manufacture at our vacation home. I wanted one for our primary residence but couldn't find the same model and brand. And that's a good thing, because this one out performs our original one. It's more reliable and the batteries have already lasted for a year (the other model required new batteries every few months). I may end up replacing the one in our vacation home with this model. The longer battery life alone could pay for the purchase. Customer Rating: Summary: Reasonable, but only barely ... Comment: I have had one of these units for about 3 years now, and find that it has a number of bad mannerisms. I use the clock and the temperature functions. Most of the time, it works fine. I never use the alarm. The unit is prone to throwing little electronic fits from time to time such as refusing to tell me the outside temperature. The fix is usually to put the two units adjacent to each other for a while. However, yesterday (06/20/08), the inside unit registered 112 deg F at 5 am. It had been 112 outside the day before, but was around 75 at 5 am. I opened the outside unit, replaced the batts (it prefers DuroCells), pressed reset and closed it up. It still showed 112 on the inside unit. I opened that one up, pulled the batts, let it stand for a while and put in 2 new DuroCells. Then I let them commiserate together for a while, and the system decided to work again. The system is working fine as I write this. Customer Rating: Summary: poor instrument Comment: The indoor temperature reading is good and the clock is good too. But the outdoor reading died in less than 6 months. Even new batteries didn't help. I expected a better product Customer Rating: Summary: Honeywell Thermometer Comment: The product worked very well for six months or so then the batteries went dead; after replacing the batteries it lasted about 3 weeks; now the out door temperature device dosen't work. Customer Rating: Summary: Tempid Reception for Alarm Clock Comment: Since I only had this product for a half hour before I returned it, I cannot comment on how well the thermometer function worked except to say that it seemed that it did set up properly. The temperature did register and the sensor and receiver did talk to each other within 2 minutes as stated in the product literature. Since they were talking with their faces pressed together as per the instructions, however, I don't think they enjoyed it much.
Putting batteries into the sensor is major pain since removing and replacing the 4 minuscule screws is something only a neurotic clockmaker would love. It took 8 minutes to perform this function. Also, the reset button for the sensor is - you guessed it - inside the battery compartment.
Be sure to read the instructions, because there is a very specific sequence for setting up this product. For example, you have to put the batteries in the sensor first, then the receiver, then set the time, etc.
As a alarm clock, this product left me cold. First of all, it does not have a true crescendo alarm. Rather, it chirps - slowly at first, then more rapidly. It also has no backlight function, so it is impossible to see the time at night. While the product is nicely designed, it seems easy to tip over while searching sleepily for the snooze, which is on the top of the product.
Overall, as disappointing as drinking a tepid latte, alone, at your cousin's bachelorette party.
