Tiny screws but a great deal - works perfect!
I read the reviews before buying this, but since I live in an area where freezing isn't that much of an issue (unless my ex is in the room) I decided that the price was a bargain.
First off you *CAN* use rechargeable batteries, just use the "pre-charged" low discharge NiMH AAA batteries. They still have the same freezing issues that standard NiMH have but the other eight months of the year you won't have to use the pricey batteries. (not that any of this has to do with this thermometer specifically)
Secondly, the screws on the back of the outdoor/radio unit are very small, and I'm not exactly sure why they felt the need to go that route but most any eyeglass repair kit that contains a Phillips head screwdriver should make short work of them.
Other than that, if you follow the very simple, well illustrated instruction, you should have no problems.
The range to the outdoor radio is listed at 100' if that matters.
(your mileage may vary)
Great gadget, low price.
Exactly what I was looking for !!! Small, big numbers, up to three external sensors, and easy setup. And a very low price.
Unit works great, remote sensor fails
I bought this on sale at Amazon so I am not complaining because it was a good deal. The problem though, is a major one. My remote sensor died after a few weeks of use. Even with new batteries, the unit won't pair with the base unit. A new remote unit costs $16-20 which is almost the cost of the product and twice as much as I paid for.
Great but Annoying
This is a great product, providing accurate indoor and outdoor temperature. The remote outdoor unit has a longer range than a competitor's model I previously owned. The size of the readouts is perfect for me. However, it has a freeze alarm. High in the Colorado Rockies, the temperature can often go through 32 degrees several times a day, as the weather changes. This is very annoying because, while the alarm can be silenced each temperature excursion, it cannot be permanently turned off and is a feature that I do not need.
not quite as advertized but still a nice item
The advertised dimensions of 10.2 x 3.5 x 9.2 are misleading. The display characters are easy enough to read but the display area as well as the displayed characters are smaller than I expected. The 3.5 thickness dimension is a large tab sticking out on the bottom (not visible in the amazon website illustration) that supports the unit in a standing position. It also prevents any kind of attempt at wall mounting. I had assumed I could hang it on a wall but it is not possible. The unit does work well, serves it purposes as a self setting clock and indoor/outdoor thermometer, and is visible by all when placed on top of our refrigerator.
The low temperature alarm was annoying. I changed the channel and it went away.
A second unit that I gifted found a great use when the sensor was placed near a water pipe that once froze. The alarm serves as a warning to do something to avoid a freezing pipe and a potential disaster.
