Product Description
This wireless thermometer displays indoor and outodor temperature and uses a wireless sensor with a range of 80 feet.Amazon.com Review
Regardless of the local TV station’s extensively trained weather caster, meteorology is an imperfect science. The natural world always finds a way to trump the carefully projected forecast, be it with a sudden shift in the winds, a drop in temperature, or an unexpected rain shower. Likewise, even when the meteorologist hits… More >>
We are very disappointed in this product and cannot recommend it to others. We are also disappointed in Lacrosse Technology’s customer service. An email to their service department has brought complete silence and a check on their website claims they are experiencing ‘heavier than usual’ requests for help. The only way we’ve been able to clear the memory on the thermometer is to remove the batteries – every night. I won’t be buying another Lacrosse Tech product again.

What I like most about this indoor/remote outdoor temperature gage is that it does exactly what I want, at a good price, and doesn’t clutter its screen with data I don’t want…like yet another clock that would need periodic resetting. I also like its tidy size and its black color which doesn’t call attention to itself.

This kept on breaking on me. First the batteries wore out (after a month or two). Then the outdoor sensor died (I think because it got wet in the rain, but isn’t an outdoor sensor supposed to be able to handle that?). Finally the indoor one died. I probably had it for less than two years. Not a big fan of this brand anymore…

I used to have a wired temperature sensor for a refridgerator that was not holding its temperature well. One kitchen renovation and refridgerator update later, I wanted to still track the temperature, but not have the wire exposed. This was a welcome replacement and has worked well for 3+ months. My twin (7 year old) boys also have a La Crosse clock which received these transmitter signals, so they are now able to see the temperature outside. This receiver handles three sesors, two of which are in use. The farthest distance between sensor and receiver is about 30 feet and passes through two wood framed walls. We are still thinking where to put a 3rd sensor. Setup was relatively easy, although I did have to pay attention to what sensor was activated 1st and 2nd. All in all this is working well and I would recommend it.

3 months and it dies. The outdoor sensor is not waterproof as stated in the description.
