Better than I was expecting
Having read the reviews I was a bit wary but it is better than expected.Quite a nice clear display that you can adjust from bright, medium, low and off. If you have the display on your bedside table you might find the low setting is not clear when lying in bed. Suggest you have the unit upright and not leaning back on the added supports.Setup was ok but the instructions are in such small type it is difficult to read. Check out the video on the purchase page that helps. Why can’t you download a pdf manual?Accuracy? For the unit itself I found the displays initially were all over the place. Suggest initially you get everything connected. Put base unit together with external monitors and leave for a few hours to acclimatise before deciding something is faulty. I found temperatures for base unit and external monitors were very close eventually. The humidity readings for the external monitors was very close. Base unit was about 5% difference. Humidity monitors of all sorts I find to be particularly variable.Only had it a couple of days and will continue to monitor its performance.So far so good for price.

This is great
Had an old system that gave really good reading that eventually anything will fail through age. Two of the three sensors failed. Time to replace and upgrade. I'm not disappointed picking this and it's definitely more accurate than Alexa! Really nice bright display and you can see all inputs at one time. Accurate as well. Simple to set up and operate. Maybe a indication as to whether the temperature or humidity is rising or falling would be the only extra option I'd like. Other than that it does a good job and the weather prediction is spot on so far.

Very accurate
Product is so say to set up, seems to be giving very accurate readings, especially like the three sensors.

Worth persevering!
We enjoy using this weather station! It is far clearer and has at least as much information as one we purchased several years ago. Strongly recommended.Initial set-up was reasonably straightforward, with a booklet in the box and a video online. At first, we thought the time function was not picking up the radio(?) signal it needs if manual settings are to be avoided. However, it proved easy to correct this by simply leaving everything to connect overnight.Full functioning was in place within 24 hours, and everything has continued perfectly ever since.

Impressive for the cost
I bought this discounted to £34 and is great value for money. It has a good sized bright and colourful easy to read screen.Three of the sensors are accurate to within 1ºC and one to 2ºC. So far the sensors have remained connected with no drop outs. The furthest one from the base station is approximately 40' away.The instructions aren't very good and it took a bit of time to work out how to get the sensors connected to the main unit. Also, it can be a bit confusing when plugged in rather than on battery for the screen to go blank but this is due to the automatic radio controlled calibration but it does keep the time extremely accurate.The 'Weather' function is reasonably accurate but not something you can rely on especially when rain is forecast (or not as the case usually is).

Four different measuring points, in one weather station.
I have unusual needs - a big house with a solar heated loft that can pump warm air down into the house past the 8 inches of insulation if I want it. But how can I know whether to turn on the fan or not? I need to know temp in the house and in the loft. But also wanted to know what it's like outside. While a twin sensor system could work, I'd need a pair of them to get all the info I want, duplicating the room info.This weather station is the perfect solution. Now I can know the temp in the room, the temp in the loft, the temp outside, and even the temp in the garage. And all four sensors include humidity, too.On the downside, the system measures a degree, maybe two, different to other thermometers. Given the others all measure the same, I'm inclined to think it is this system that is in error.Another "disappointment" is that the coloured screen (which is very well laid out and pleasant to see) cannot be seen from wide viewing angles. You have to be almost exactly face-on to the screen, to see it clearly. I'm uncertain whether this is a pro or a con. When I want to see the screen, obviously that's a con, but it is also nice not to have the screen glowing at you wherever you are in the room. I think the need to see the screen is not the same as wanting to know the time (clock) for example, so visibility from all angles is not an important design factor in this case.Price-wise, there is nothing else in this class. It you need to measure temperature in more than two places, this is the no-brainer winner. And it has humidity too? Now I can also tell where best I should hang the laundry to dry...So why 4 stars and not 5?I didn't feel that enthralled with the quality of the remote sensors. They feel like brittle plastic from the 1980's. And that screen has nice colours, but reminds me of cheap rather than quality. If the cheapness pervades the design, then long term robustness is doubtful.The instruction booklet is wanting for detail. The establishing of connection between base station and remote sensors seemed particularly messy.In a nutshell, just set each remote station to a different one of the 3 possible channels (so that they do not conflict) and switch them on, pressing the "look for connection" button as you do so. They will find each other readily enough, even if you miss the "switch on countdown" of the base station. I figured that replacing the batteries in each sensor would present a time when that system would have to work, without reconnecting all sensors to the base station (requiring them to all be together, to meet the time limits). It was a sensible guess, but something the instuction manual implied was not even possible...But that's another reason to knock off a star. If your neighbour has the same system, you might be connecting to their sensors and not yours. And vice versa. There are three channels, one for each sensor. Stands to reason that each system uses the exact same three channels...

Don’t bother!
Fairly easy to set up but accuracy is pretty awful. I connected the 3 remote units to the main unit & left them all together on my desk for a couple of hours to acclimatise & came back to find they were all giving differing readings by several degrees from highest to lowest, humidity readings were similarly different. Unfortunately there is no way to calibrate them so basically no good for any serious temp/humidity comparisons. Now just adds a bit of colour to my desk but not much use for anything else!
