AcuRite Wireless Weather Station with Intelli-Time Clock (00754)

I ordered my product on sale on the internet. It was shipped to my store and I picked it up. I'm a 68 year old woman and thought I'd have trouble with the installation and worried about it. Was I surprised? I opened the package (that was the hardest thing), put in the batteries, took the outside gauge to an outside location and instantly when I came back in the house everything was working. The inside temp was going up , an outside temp was beginning to register. It also shows the date and time of day including what day of the week it is. What a great buy!!!!! This was the easiest thing I ever did. If you see this in Walmart snatch it up. You'll be so glad you did. I've gone 3 years without knowing what the outside temp was and its so handy to walk into the room and see everything I need to know. Thanks Walmart !! Lorraine

When I first loaded the batteries it gave some really off temp results with the interior temp showing 6 degrees too high and the exterior temp showing 12 degrees too high. Then the exterior transmitter stopped transmitting (or the interior unit stopped receiving). I took the batteries out and repeated the process 2 more times with the same results. I was about ready to give up and return it but decided to try reloading the batteries one more time. This time it worked just fine with temp readings both inside and outside being with a degree of actual. I've since placed the exterior unit in the bilge of my boat (to monitor the effectiveness of the bilge heater during winter freezes). It's about 30' from where the inside unit is located and has been functioning perfectly for the last 3 weeks. I would have given this a 3 star rating because of the initial difficulties encountered trying to get it to function properly. I bumped it up to 4 star because of the great price. I now hope it lasts for a good while.

Purchased one in local Walmart for home use; like having inside/outside temps plus clock. Decided to purchase several for gifts; pleased to find the $10 price which was a considerable savings from i store.

This idem was easy to set up and works fine. One little improvement that would not raise the price by much would be an LED back-light so it would be much easier to read.

I had an Acu-Rite model similar to this which I bought new in 2004, and it was bullet-proof, accurate, and hung nicely on the wall. (It still works, though it also had an 'alarm' feature, and randomly a few weeks back, it started beeping every 5-10 minutes and wouldn't stop. Rather annoying.) Anyway, this one doesn't seem to read as 'true.' The old one consistently matched thermometers in our vehicles and/or being reported by the local weather reports. This one reports several degrees warmer for both interior and exterior temps. The old one's case had 'flip-out' legs to stand it up if you chose to put it on a table or counter rather than hanging it on a wall; this one has a formed 'triangular' base which isn't removable nor does it fold up. As such, it doesn't allow it to hang flush on the wall. (It's got a wall-mount 'keyhole' on it, but with the triangular base, it angles sharply upward and you can't read the temperature easily.) One nice feature is it immediately syncs with the Atomic clock and re-syncs nightly. As such, you don't have to mess around initially setting the date and time; adjusting it for Daylight Savings and time zone is easy as well. Another nice feature to have (and which the old one included) was the exterior sensor had a digital display, so you could see the temperature outside where that was located - as well as transmitting it to the base unit inside the house. This one's sensor is streamlined, hangs or is placed easily, and is easy to set for selecting one of the three optional frequencies, but doesn't let you know what the temp is outside. But overall not bad for something around $15.
