La Crosse Technology Weather Station with Customizable Alerts, Weather Forecast, Temperature, Dew Point, Humidity, Time, Heat Index, Large Display, Adjustable Brightness, Wireless, Black, C85845-INT

This great weather station is LARGE (8.98"x5.43"), visually and vibrantly COLOURFUL, VISIBLE FROM ACROSS THE ROOM AND FROM EVERY WHICH ANGLE (ONLY IF you adjust the stand at the back to make it stand upright instead of on a slant - a note to those reviewers who said visibility from a distance was poor), shows HUMIDITY levels INDOORS (important for me) and outdoors (dry, good, humid), continuous BACKLIGHT (with power cord, a must, with options for brightness (high, low, off). This model may have other features, but I don't need them. The temp readings are slightly off, but give or take a degree doesn't much bother me. The date, day and time is visible, and the colours are strong and EASY TO READ. I looked at 3 other weather stations before I decided that this is what I was looking for. For the past 40 years we've been using LaCrosse and like their products, and the support network for assistance in Quebec. I wanted a large, colourful, backlit weather station that I could read from 8-10' away from any angle, and seasonal ANIMATIONS in the background like snowflakes, raindrops, etc., and this I got with the C85845. The sensor is placed outside in our back porch on the ceiling facing north and the signal we get on the WS is strong. The package arrived very well packed with easy to follow instructions. A message for LaCrosse: it would be useful if mention could be made in the info pamphlet included and on the product description that the stand at the back of the WS can be adjusted to the upright position to allow visibility of the readings from a distance away and from any angle. Just loving this weather station! Highly recommend it. Gave it 5* despite the fact that it's not 100% accurate, like all the clocks in our house, each one differs by a minute or two. Another smaller but just as wonderful weather station that I like very much is S82967 (6.5" x 3.5") that I am thinking of buying for the bedroom. Very user friendly.

Needs an American to Uk plug adapter But a quality product

Although this is an old model it still stands out on its own. Beautiful bold display. Not very bright though and little difficult to read if it is not approximately at your eye level. But I am loving it. Accurate sensors. Simple no frills setup and it does what is supposed to do very well - read temperature, humidity, air pressure and forecast the short term weather! The trend arrows and weather improving / worsening indicator arrows are super useful as well! I have hung it near my key holder so that I can read the weather before stepping out of the house everytime. It definitely adds a charm to my living room.

... you will need to address the Power Supply issue as mentioned in many other reviews. Unfortunately these devices only come supplied with a 110V mini Plug Pack, they are not designed to run from 240V even with a basic travel adaptor. Fortunately however they only need 5V which is the same voltage a USB port can produce so as per my pics all you need is to purchase an inexpensive USB to 3.5x1.35mm DC cable, connect it to an old USB Charger/Plugpack (or any USB port) and you're done! As seen in the photo, I'm using a USB Powerbank purely to demonstrate how easy this is to achieve but of course I'm using a small USB plugpack in its permanent location. Note: the right-angle plug on the cable I bought off eBay (item: 154527783652) is a bit larger than the original so although it fits and works perfectly it isn't as neat & tidy as it could be.
