Woiks like a champ! January 7, 2008 John D. Shepard (Fairfax, VA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had to replace an indoor/outdoor thermometer as the old one freezes up when it -- ahem -- freezes OUT. Oregon makes good stuff and this device is up to snuff. Batteries in the outdoor unit may require changing during long durations of frigid weather. But then, so don't we?
Keeps Gramma happy September 7, 2008 S. Campbell (Central Michigan) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Gramma recently moved into an assisted living apartment from a wooded country property. Although she only goes outdoors a few days a week, she still likes to keep track of the outdoor weather conditions. We'd gotten another brand for her before and it beeped constantly, every time the temperature changed, and there was no way to turn off the alarm except to remove the battery. This one is quiet and the display is easy for her to read without getting up from her easy chair. Very reasonably priced and does the basic job without a lot of extras.
Pleased as punch April 6, 2007 A. Oliver (Syracuse, NY) 3 out of 8 found this review helpful
This thermometer works great. I'm actually using it at work to keep track of indoor temperatures in two separate rooms.
It fine works after a little effort December 6, 2008 Moondog (Long Valley, NJ United States) We had some initial difficulty getting the sensor unit to talk to the main unit but eventually they connected. In the end we hung the sensor unit from the eave in a small wicker bird house pointing through a deck slider to the main unit about 10 feet away inside. A lithium battery was necessary below 40 deg F. Now it is working fine, with the lowest temperature so far being 18 deg F. We are pleased with it after two months of use.
Beware of accuracy and Oregon Scinetific policy about accuracy September 16, 2008 A. Cohen 28 out of 29 found this review helpful
I bought this unit to replace another unit from another vendor. The problem I had with my other unit was poor range of the wireless sender. I also wanted a temperature alarm because I will be using this in an RV and want to make sure my water compartment does not freeze.
The base is small and compact and the LCD is perhaps a little crowded but not terrible I would say. I do like the size.
My disappointments with this unit and remote are twofold.
I ran into a problem with accuracy on the remote... the temperature reported was 3 to 4 degrees off from the base unit temperature when they were sitting side by side. This was in comparison to the units I was replacing as well some other non wireless thermometers I used for comparison.
I proceeded to the Oregon Scientific web site and requested support on this issue online. Their site says you should get a response within 4 days. After 8 days, I had not received a response so I called the company and explained my issue. The following is what they told me.
After telling me who their products are not intended as scientifically calibrated instruments (I sensed they have heard this complaints before), they indicated that their policy is that a thermometer (or remote sender) can be plus or minus 2.5 degrees off from another unit. This is not 2.5 plus or minus from the real temperature but from the any other sender or base unit. I indicated that this could mean that a unit could be off 5 or 10 degrees from the real temperature and they answered that my interpretation was correct and that this is their policy. I did not accept the explanation from the first support agent so she handed me off to another support agent who reiterated the policy. Two different support people from Oregon Scientific had now told me the same thing.
I was not expecting perfection, but I guess since this unit is priced a little more than average that at least it would be somewhat accurate... maybe one to two degrees off at most. A I mentioned at least three other thermometers that I used to compare the results from this one were within about 1 degree of each other. The base unit on this one was close but the remote was significantly off.
To me it seems that Oregon Scientific's policy on accuracy is absurd.
One question I asked the support person is why didn't Oregon Scientific articulate this policy on the packaging so that a consumer could make a reasonable and informed choice based on that information... of course there was no answer.
I think that if the consumer knew how inaccurate a thermometer Oregon Scientific's policy allows their products to be, this knowledge would be detrimental to their sales. After all, isn't accuracy what a digital thermometer is all about? I know that had I known all this, I would not have bought this product.
I guess my reaction is that I had an incorrect perception of Oregon Scientific products being step up products.... Something a little better. Certainly their customer service response, their policies and the product itself suggests otherwise.
