Oregon Scientific PSM06A-G Full Weather Station, Multi Medium, Gray

Cheap Oregon Scientific PSM06A-G Full Weather Station, Multi Medium, Gray Review

This is the best of 6 different weather stations I have used from Oregon Scientific and La Cross Technologies. My requirements are pretty simple but unfulfilled by most other units:
* A display I can read from across the room: Partial check, I can easily read the time but most other functions are small.
* Simultaneous display of in-room and remote temperature: Check, plus it can cycle among 3 remote stations continuously.
* Aesthetically pleasing: Big check, this is one of the nicest looking weather units. Its remote sensor also looks good and has a large display.

In addition to weather functions, this unit also has alarm, ceiling display, and radio functions. Each of these is flawed. The alarm is awkward to set, thought probably not more than many digital clocks. The ceiling display is only on when the top button is depressed, which also turns on the clock light. What's the point of the ceiling display? Finally, the radio has mediocre sound.

Contrary to other reviews, I find that this unit has excellent reception. I have had no problems with it in over a month. I have ordered three more units. A second for myself and two others for gifts.

As with most weather stations, the controls are not very intuitive. Those that are most commonly used are reasonable. The others require reference to the user manual for each use.

At around this unit is a very good value. At list price, it is most definitely not.

Oregon Scientific PSM06A-G Full Weather Station, Multi Medium, Gray Overview

Design meets technology in this collaboration between Philippe Starck and Oregon Scientific. The Starck Time and Weather Station is a new combination of style and function. It includes innovative functions such as precision timing with a clock that automatically sets itself to the official U.S. atomic clock, accurate to one millionth of a second. Its cleanly partitioned LCD display features a bold time indication, and includes date, current indoor and outdoor temperature, barometric pressure with trend, humidity, moon phase, and easily recognizable icons to indicate the weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours. The time can be projected on a wall or ceiling, and users can choose from seven melodies for the two-minute crescendo alarm with snooze function. The digital AM/FM radio has a 16-station memory with sleep timer. An outdoor wireless remote sensor is included, as are four AA and two AAA batteries, power adaptor, and one-year warranty.
