CCould not get the projection to work

Seems like a great product but could never get the projection feature to work properly. Finally gave up and use it as a clock in our TV room.

LCD broke after 9 months: garbled projection

I bought the identical looking Model PCR11ELW without the weather feature.
I got it to work and was satisfied.
After 8 or 9 months several sections of the LCD gave up resulting in a garbled useless display. Bad quality - and I did not register the device
and did not kep the box with the UPC - out of luck with 1 year warranty.
I trusted the Honeywell name - probably a mistake.
I have had one other projection clock for 5 years - another brand and cheaper, that still works fine (I bought it in Europe).

2nd time around

This is the third Honeywell projector clock I have bought, one as a gift. My first went out, apparently due to a power surge in an electrical storm. The gift had a longer life but has also ceased to function corectly after about 30 months. This new model is cheaper, and adds the weather icon to the projected information. Both versions are tricky to set, and unless you live in the Pacific time zone, must be re-set if the power is interrupted-which isn't too easy.

Apart from the relatively short product lives of my previous version and the same model given as a gift, and some muttering with setting and resetting. I've found the information provided a delight. The new verision presents more information on the screen more visably than the previous model. If reliability and set-up could be made easier, I would pay more and give the item 5 stars.

Threw it out after months of trying to work with it

The temperature sensor never worked right. The alarm eventually stopped working. Too easy to hit "touch sensitive" buttons and change major settings (like the alarm). Nice looking, but too much of the functionality just fails. I threw it in the trash. I tried for months to like it.

Honeywell PCR 426 W Projection Clock

I also purchased this unit on line & followed the directions to the letter. It works perfectly!!!! This is the fourth projection weather clock I bought & the only one I am keeping.If you follow the directions, the outside weather comes on & then the inside. I manually set the clock, & the next day the atomic time set itself & works perfectly. The Back light works either continuously or put it on auto & it comes on as the room darkens. I was a little skeptical when I bought it, but couldn't be happier now.
