Oregon Scientific Wireless Multi-Channel Thermometer

NOT SO GOOD TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN TRANSMITTER SHUT DOWN. NEW BATTERY, TWICE, MADE NO DIFFERENCE. UNABLE TO FIND A PATH TO CONTACT AMAZON. DID FIND A PATH AT OREGON SCIENTIFIC WHICH PROMISED A RESPONSE WITHIN 4 DAYS. BEEN 2 WEEKS NOW AND NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. RECEIVER STILL WORKS FINE BUT GIVES ONLY INDOOR TEMP. TRANSMITTER WAS IN SHELTERED SPOT AND SUFFERED NO DAMAGE OTHER THAN ZOMKING OUT.

BAD EXPERIENCE WITH BOTH COMPANIES

Product works great and was easy to install . . just insert batteries in both units and hang. The large digital display is easy to read, much improved over my previous model (another brand).

The thermometer arrived quickly and was easy to set up. As noted by other reviewers, the operable distance between the outdoor transmitter and the indoor receiver is considerably less that the advertised distance.

I bought this same exact Thermometer 10 years ago. I defintely got my moneys worth out of it, but unfortunately, It recently bit the dust and I have been like a fish out of water ever since. I have friends that have different Thermometers that has the atomic clock and thermometers with all the bells and whistles and have had problems with theirs continuosly. I looked specifically for the same one that I had before and just purchased it again. It has been Very reliable for 10 years and I dont ever have to worry about the clock being set wrong or any of the added features messing up. Its very basic with low maintenace. You have to change the battery occassionally and you are good to go again. For a basic reliable indoor/outdoor Thermometer, I Highly recommend this product.

I purchased this thermometer to replace a more elaborate La Crosse unit that I have had for several years. One of the main reasons I purchased it was the claimed range of 330 feet. When I installed it the receiver lost contact with the transmitter almost immediately. I do have steel siding on my house but the La Crosse has worked in the same location and the transmitter and receiver are literally on opposite sides of the same wall. If metal house siding precludes use of this thermometer I think that should be stated in the literature. I ended up returning returning the unit. Because of Amazon's great return policy I was out only time and effort.
