Taylor Wireless Digital Indoor Outdoor Thermometer and Hygrometer, Weather Station, Battery Powered, Alarm, Easy-to-Read Display for Home, Office, Greenhouse, Nursery, and Indoor Areas, Black

I put the "outdoor" sensor next to the Indoor-Outdoor display. The two temperatures read 73.8 and 74.0. Humidifies are 54 and 52. Those reading are very close to each other. That doesn't imply accuracy, but only consistency. Also a few inches away is a 4 year old HTC-1 thermometer / hygrometer which cost $4, and it reads 73.8 and 54.The HTC-1 reads out temperatures to the tenths-place, but when the temperature changes, it jumps in steps of a few tenths. I see the Taylor stepped from 73.8 to 73.9, so it looks like it steps in one-tenth increments, which is a nicely refined improvement over the HTC-1.We got separate heating / cooling in the bedrooms. I put the "outdoor" sensor in the other bedroom, so I can keep an eye on conditions in there, without having actually go next door to see if it's comfortable.When you first put the batteries into the remote, if the readings from the remote don't pop up on the display within a minute, then hold down the "Minus" button to restart the connection (as described in the instructions), and you'll get a new reading when the next one is transmitted. When you set the clock, you can switch the display from day-&-month to month-&-day, such as from 25/12 to 12/25. (I like the latter.) And 12 Hour or 24 Hour. And a dim red light in the remote glows for a second occasionally, I assume when it's transmitting. And the digital readout is visible from all sorts of angles, vertically and horizontally -- really good. The digits on the HTC-1 are gigantic, but the digits on this Taylor are only "regular" size. But the Taylor is still readable from at least 8 feet away, partly as a result of its wide viewing angles. And it looks cleanly scientific. Either the base takes AA batteries, and the remote takes AAA's, or the other way around; whichever.

To be honest, i have no clue if it accurate so I can't review it proporly it was 17 yesterday anf it read 35? I was recommended highly Taylor brand but disappointed. I will have to find another one for better accuracyy :(.

Complete and accurate temperature inside and out with very little counter space surrendered this allows me to wear the correct clothing for the day when I get up in the morning without turning on the radio or TV.

1 star -- sorry, what can I say? I would have given it lower if i could. and why you might ask? simple let me break it down to Y'all1) battery hogg -- I mean come on, this is not rocket science people, when ya design something atleast put some effort into it, I have lacross version on the wall and I might only have to change the battery once a year --- so glad I have recharables, this thing will eat through batterys like once a month2) memmory loss, when ya have to change the battery, it looses everything, all memory, date -- yada -- yada -- yada ----- whats this mean to you? -- not a darn thing, just that way on top i mentioend that people should be putting some thought into what they are designing --- i am not no electrical engineer by any means, but a simple compacitor of some sort to keep the memory alive when ya do a simpele battery change out would be a common sence feature --- just saying3) dim --- seriously, i mean i know its small, but come on, bust i really have to walk up to the unint and stand no more than 5 inches away from it just to read it?ok, maybe thats exaduration -- but seriously -- a little brighter folksthis makes strike #2 for AMAZON themselfs --- just for5 letting garbage quality gadgets like this even to be sold on this site --- Amazon, dont know what your thinking -- 3 strikes and your out

It seems to work all right. But the icon that indicates the inside temp and outside temp is so small you can’t be sure at a glance which one you are reading.

It's plugged in in my bedroom, and I can see it from bed to check indoor or outdoor temperatures and time.

Over the decades, I have had several electronic indoor/outdoor thermometers, this is the worst I have owned.I had great expectations when purchasing this, as Taylor is an old and well known U. S. manufactuere of thermometers, dating back to the mid-1850's. I expected typical Taylor quality.Sadly, when I received the thermometer, it had "made in China" printed on the back. Consistent with many Chinese manufactured products, this item is poorly made. The display, as others have mentioned, is difficult to see.The angle at which the display is clearly readable is about that of eye level. Sitting on a counter top, that is difficult to achieve. One has to bend down or physically pick up the unit and find the level where the display is bright enough to read.Mounting on the wall would help, but this is impossible as it is designed only for setting on a tabletop or counter.A thermometer which has a non-legible display is of no use. Avoid this model and the Taylor brand...there are much better options on Amazon.

Does what I expect, quick setup, seems to be accurate!
