I love the idea of having the time on the wall at night. As for the daytime illumination, it is very difficult to see. This would be excellent if they put a little more time into perfecting the daytime display when you cannot see the seeling display.
I've used other wireless thermometers and they do not hold a candle to this little gem. I live in a 3 story townhouse apartment, so my living room is on the 2nd floor... quite a ways away from my smoker. The other wireless thermometers that I've had could never read the signal at the grill when I put them on my coffee table. Call me lazy but when I'm smoking food I hate having to walk up and down my stairs to the patio and back up to the living room when I'm trying to watch a ballgame. The Oregon AW131 thermometer reaches this far though and I couldn't be happier with it. The temp readings are very accurate and I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Very good product and I highly recommend it!
NOT SO GOOD TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN TRANSMITTER SHUT DOWN. NEW BATTERY, TWICE, MADE NO DIFFERENCE. UNABLE TO FIND A PATH TO CONTACT AMAZON. DID FIND A PATH AT OREGON SCIENTIFIC WHICH PROMISED A RESPONSE WITHIN 4 DAYS. BEEN 2 WEEKS NOW AND NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. RECEIVER STILL WORKS FINE BUT GIVES ONLY INDOOR TEMP. TRANSMITTER WAS IN SHELTERED SPOT AND SUFFERED NO DAMAGE OTHER THAN ZOMKING OUT.
Oregon Scientific BAR688HGA Wireless Weather Station with Temperature/Humidity Display and Self- Setting Atomic Clock, White
Well, it's silver, not white but that's okay. We've had it almost a month. The temperature readings, inside and out, are accurate. Pressure reading is close. Weather forecast is laughable. We've had a week of screaming sunshine and dry warm autumn weather. Yet every day, the weather station forecasts rain and shows the word "wet".
It would have been very helpful if Oregon Scientific had added a backlight option. Though the numbers are large, it is difficult to read. If you pick up the device to get a closer look, it blanks out. We keep a flashlight nearby.

We purchased this item for our new home and are delighted with it! It's a perfect size, easy to read and has all the necessary features to help you decide if the weather outside is frightful or fine. You can even set your clocks and watches to the accurate data of the Wireless Weather Station's Atomic Clock. Makes a great gift for anyone!
This is an excellent product. We have a weather station and sensor to give information on the weather outside so we knew the quality of the product already. We purchased the additional sensor to put in our greenhouse to keep an eye on the temp and humidity from our house. I believe our weather station can have up to 3 sensors and should we have the need, we will be purchasing another sensor.

Worked great for a few months, then the rain guage slowly quit connecting with the base...constantly had to push the search button. I'm not sure why we even still have the thing other than I hate throwing that much money in the trash. The outside temp guage did not last long in the outdoors weather. It quit working all together after about 5 months. The rain guage ONLY works now when pushing the search button. I'll be buying a new one for Christmas for my husband, but not from this company!
This actually worked well in the oven inside the house. But the first time it went outside to the gas BBQ it broke. I did not have the probe in any flames, it was in the chicken and the lid was closed to minimize flare-ups. If they would have advertised this for indoor oven only use, I may have said a nice thing or two about it.
I'm not sure if I will try to go through the hassle of trying to find another probe (don't know if they sell them), the hassle of returning the unit, or the hassle of kicking myself whenever I see it in my kitchen wondering why I did not pay more attention to the negative reviews.
