Great clock

I have had this item for 3 years and it still does well. Once the battery leaked and ruined the outdoor sensor -- the battery company sent $20 to reimburse me for buying a new one.

Works well

Much better range/reception from remote temp sensor than 433Mhz skyscan model I replaced. If anything, the temp updates too often (4 seconds), fluctuating by half a degree or so. Personally I think 10 to 15 second temp updates would be more reasonable with a bit more stability in the readings. The time reception syncronized very quickly even from middle of my house. More color choices for the side face panels (or simply removing the useless side panels) would be a nice addition. But all in all I am very pleased with this product.

Highly Recommended

La Crosse Technology WS-8117U-IT-AL- Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Moon & IN/OUT Temp

Easy setup when instructions are
followed. Extremely accurate clock
and temperatures. Unlike some earlier
items of this caliber, the outdoor
temperature updates every 4 seconds rather
than every 5 minutes. This guarantees a
right up to the minute temperature display.
As is the case with any outdoor thermometer,
the sensor must be placed away from the sun's
influence and properly vented. It must also
be shielded from the elements.

I've been using La Crosse Technology for years
and have always been pleased with their products.

does what it's claimed

It's been about a month since I bought this.
It takes time to get the radio signal for clock
and the signal for temparature unit. It could have been
hours to get the clock signal. I just hung it and found everything
functional a day later.
I read a couple of reviews complained about not receiving signals;
people, you gotta wait. That is also what manual says.

Great Product

I rec'd a different brand of remote thermometer for Mothers Day - The other brand was very hard to read and was not user friendly - my father in law had this exact model so I decided to find it on line - I love the color and the use - The accuracy is right on - I couldn't be happier - and it was 1/2 the price of the brand from Wal-Mart. I definitely reccommend it to ANYONE!!!!
