The first one I received had at least three bad LCD elements (i.e. at least 3 screen characters could not be read properly). Everything else seemed fine, so I returned it requesting a replacement and not a refund.

Amazon is ACES. They immediately shipped the replacement, without waiting for the returned faulty item. They also provided a pre paid label for the Post Office.

The replacement product arrived a few days ago and works flawlessly.

Be aware that although this is an Indoor/Outdoor product, the outdoor sensor is usually inaccurate. Actually, the sensor is probably OK, but in our case it is placed on our Condo balcony, so the heat from the building affects the temperature. Also, the sunshine on a cold day (we live in very sunny Southern Alberta) warms up the balcony to a temperature much higher than the actual outside temp. I added this information as you may wish to consider whether or not you want to pay the premium for a thermometer with an outside sensor, given the inaccuracies. (Incidentally, I suspect this problem applies to all outdoor thermometers.)

However, we are pleased with our purchase.

Pros: Easy to read display with adjustable contrast. Time offset can be changed to something other than the four north american time zones. Uses C batteries instead of AA for longer battery life.
Cons: Weather display and pressure chart are animated which can be distracting/annoying. Remote temperature sensor only displays in Fahrenheit.

It works well except the manual mention the sensor isn't water proof. So where should I install the outdoor sensor?

I get the weather here locally but it is not always right. I do snow plowing and I need a good forecast. This gauge is right on the nose and I can't do without it. My friends ask where I purchased it and I tell them...

I live in the wilderness and needed this type of weather station. It works beautifully and also is a wonderful forecaster for my Sinus Condition. When I see that the pressure is going down then I know to irrigate my sinuses. Love the size of the display, can be read from at least 15 feet away. Do not place transmitter where direct sunlight will hit it, as temp rises at least 5 degs. Best machine for the price.

This has a nice set of features and presents useful information in an easy to understand format. Looks like it should last too!

I'm a gadget guy like my father and this filled my addiction! Love checking (and rechecking) the weather and this unit is so easy to view having large readable figures. The first one I got was broken but was quickly replaced by Amazon with no hasel. Many thanks

I really like this weather station. It does a fair job of predicting what will happen. The little air pressure bars could be more sensitive. They only grow or shrink for every .2 of change. We consult this thing numerous times per day. Very fun!

This is our second LaCrosse clock/temperature combination. While the lettering on it is smaller than our first one we are enjoying the features that this unit offers. We are definitely fans of your product line.

Be prepared to have lots of batteries available as the device needs a full charge and batteries only lasted about 3 months. Customer support knew about the problem and were not helpful. It quickly became a dust collector.
