La Crosse TechnologyS84107-INT Color Forecast Station, Black

works best when run off AC power. Very easy to set up, and visible across the room. Display is colorful and bright.

Me gustó esta estación meteorológica. Sencilla y con toda la información en una bonita y amplia pantalla.

Nowhere in the product descriptions did the Seller warn buyers that the power converter plug (supplied as USA 2-pin when unpacked) is NOT SUITABLE in countries where mains electric power is delivered at higher voltages. In other words, the product as described and as supplied is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE in the United Kingdom … other than on batteries ONLY. I did not want to purchase a weather station that relied solely on battery power!The product description needs serious amendment to make this clear. As it is my converter plug has blown and is useless. VERY UNHAPPY with this!

La Crosse has several layouts with similar info so you can pick what you want to look at. I chose this one for the emphasis on the outside temp. I can see that from afar. Time is tiny... don't get this one as a clock. This one has a couple extras which tipped the scales. Moon phase is a bonus, pressure graph is a bonus. But that's a personal preference.Tech setup was great after battling my old Sharp wx station every time the remote unit needed batteries. This one... insert batteries and it works. Did a quick roll through the settings and we're up and running. Nice to have some feedback on both ends too. Red light on the remote and signal strength on the display.Can't speak to the range as I'm not taxing it much. Remote unit is 10' away with one external wall between.Now to see if it lasts.Opportunities for improvement:- Backlighting has two settings (plus off) that are too far apart in my opinion. Super bright glowing like the sun, or barely on and worthless unless you're sitting in a pitch dark room. I'd set it somewhere between if I could but I'll live with the glare of the max setting.- When you have an atomic clock, accurate to the fraction of a second... it would be nice to have the seconds displayed. I'll miss that. But I'll use the smart phone to set the watch in the future... nbd.- The atm. pressure trend graph... I was hoping it would stop flashing once it got 24hrs of data, but nope. Dumbest display ever. 7 bars in the graph, it blanks out, then shows you one bar each second... so 7 seconds to wait until you see the trend... then blank again and it starts over. Hope you got a good look at it in that 1 second where it was complete. Really lousy design there. You could do that to the time display or the day text... build the anticipation showing it one letter at a time... but you don't because that would be insane and counter to the goal of displaying info. This isn't a neon sign in Vegas! Just show the bar graph and move it when the data fills in. And if you don't have a number for -24hr, leave it blank! It'll fill in after a day and in the meanwhile it's accurate and understandable. Really bad software decision there.None of that is worth losing a star.Note on batteries for remote. Lots of these long time remote things tell you to use alkalines and not rechargeables. That's because most rechargeables lose power just sitting there so you have to change all the time. I use Eneloops which do not decay much over time and they worked fine for my last remote unit. (and any other device with low power needs that need to last... i.e. remote controls)So far, loving the station. Accuracy looks good so far.

We run this device on on electrical connection. The muted light at night is perfect. During the day we switch to full intensity. It is accurate for weather prediction and temperature. The size is a bit larger than we need but that is a minor issue. There were other devices on the market, but dollar for dollar, this is a good purchase.
