 Horribly Inaccurate November 19, 2008
Cillian (Michigan)
I bought this because it seemed like a cool idea. However I noticed that the temp readings are depressingly inaccurate, ESPECIALLY the outdoor temp. I have access to very expensive equipment at work that reads temperatures and this was off by about 4-5 degrees for the indoor temp and about 10-12 degrees for outdoor temp. Man I would be embarassed to release a product that performed so poorly at the job it was supposed to do. It's cool in concept and wouldn't be a bad idea if you don't care about the useless temp readings.
Don't buy the TX6U with the WS-9611U-IT November 18, 2008
David Orr (Hoboken, NJ)
The weather station gets four out of five stars, but I give Amazon a big zero for the "frequently purchased with" feature of their site. It recommends buying the TX6U wireless temperature sensor with this unit, but it is not compatible. The TX6U is a 433 Mhz sensor but the weather station uses a 915 Mhz sensor (the TX29U-IT). Don't buy the TX6U with this model weather station.
I subtract one star for the weather station because the two little green LEDs on the right side barely illuminate the screen when the back light is activated. Other than that, the unit works OK.
 Great little weather station. November 15, 2008
S. Jones (Manassas, VA United States)
For the price, this is a great little weather station. Check the dimensions, it is fairly small, but just big enough to sit on our kitchen counter to be checked several times a day. I like the little man, his predictions of rain are pretty accurate, although he often bundles up a bit sooner than I do. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

La Crosse Technology WS-9611U Wireless Sun/Moon Weather Station with 15 Advanced Forecast IconsOnce I understood the manual, it works wonderfully. The little weatherman changing outfits is totally innovative.
Our Family Loves this!!!! so fun. November 3, 2008

I gave this to my husband almost a year ago and our whole family loves it. It sits on the kitchen counter and we check it every morning. It comes with a wireless remote that you set outside (in a fairly safe place so that it lasts). It seems accurate but you do have to adjust to whether or not you put the remote in or out of the sun. We prefer ours in a shady spot and realize that it will be much warmer in the sun. The kids adore the little guy who shows you how to dress for the day and has an arrow going up or down determining which way the temperature will be going. We also like that it tells the time of sunrise and sunset and shows the moons as well. It has lots of settings and extras but these are our favorite features. This is a great product and we will buy another if anything happens to the one we have.
