308-1417 Wireless Barometric Pressure Weather Station with WWVB Time, 330ft

I bought this because my 20 year old LA CROSSE weather station finally stopped working. I should say the outside transmitter stopped working the rest still works fine. I’ve seldom even had to replace the batteries, it just kept working. So with such a good unit I stayed with the same company. They have improved them a lot over the years including the size. This unit is much bigger and much easier to read. I’m now old and bigger is better, I don’t even need my glasses to read it. It’s also much easier to setup and sets most things by itself. Just don’t be impatient because some things take time for it to adjust the readings all this is covered in the instructions. This doesn’t have a background light like my old one but I never used it anyway. I also like the fact that there’s no lighted anything because I keep it in my bedroom and like it dark. The face is just a LCD screen and easy to see and read. Once the adjustments are made it’s very accurate just be patient, the pressure is adjustable but if you wait for self adjustment it can take 2 weeks for it to zero in. If this one lasts 20 years it will be my last one since I’m 75.

I am totally pleased with my purchase of this weather station, it works great and the atomic clock is great for time keeping.

I really like this now that I’ve got it figured out. The time, temp, and humidity are accurate. It is small but very bold and legible. It is not backlit so you cannot see it in the dark. Now the problem is the barometer which is completely ill designed, though accurate. You must read it from right to left. The pressure is displayed in intervals. The furthest right position is 0 hours - the current time and measurement. You are able to tell if the pressure is increasing or decreasing by reading the curve as a whole with each bar representing the past starting at the right. There is no other plus or minus indication. Poorly conceived and difficult to understand. But accurate.

I didn't want something else that had to be plugged in and this station fit the bill. It's small, simple and accurate enough. Also purchased the sensor protection mount, well worth it. Atomic clock is a nice bonus. Good for casual weather. Humidity levels seem to run 5-10% lower than actual, but close enough for me. The unit would be even better if it had a 3 or 4 position pointer like Dry-Normal-Humid or something similar versus a number display for humidity. I've had other LaCrosse units, some lasting over 20 years. Excellent if you want simple and reliable with a value price.

La Cross 308-1417 We've had a battery powered LCD indoor/outdoor weather station for nearly 20 years. Wanting an upgraded station, we moved the original to the back room. To stay with battery power, the La Cross 308-1417 was perfect a perfect fit. It displays, very clearly, barometric pressure, indoor/outdoor temperature, relative humidity and forecast icons. Setup was simple and quick. Acquisition of outdoor sensor and atomic clock signals took 5 minutes. It is very easy to read all the information from 10 feet away. With simple styling, it looks good on the coffee table. While we haven't had this long enough to evaluate battery life, something to remember (for those who complain about that): Keep the outdoor sensor close by without electronic equipment or metal components between the two. Keep away from a router or other electronic emitting devices. These overwork the transmitter/reciever. Hunting for the sensor and time signals drain the batteries very quickly. Our original station batteries would last for 5 years in the same location. No reason to think this will be less. If you want outlet power (with adapter and cord), a color display or wind and rain gauge, you will pay five to ten times more. But for $35, this is a very practical tradeoff. We've had this for just over 5 years and it still functions. But, it no longer updates for daylight savings time (it's very accurate otherwise). And, the outdoor sensor has started going a little crazy, reporting 10 - 20⁰ high in the daytime (not in the direct sun) but is very accurate at night.

The numbers are large and easy to read.

I have enjoyed LaCrosse products for years, and this advanced wireless weather station is no exception. It works well, easy to set up, and the display is crisp. However, the description of “what’s in the box“ is inaccurate. It states that a power adapter is included. There is no power adapter, and this device runs on batteries only. This should be corrected..

Update 2 - I've put it thru its paces and I am now satisfied. When placed next to each other, the inside and outside units agree exactly on temperature and within 4% on humidity. I checked the temperature against a Fisher Scientific thermometer that I know to be accurate and they agree within 1 degree F. Both the temperature and humidity agree well with Weather Underground stations within a mile of me. My comparisons were done with temperatures 60 F +/- and humidity in the 28 to 38% range. I can't speak to conditions outside of that general range. Read the fine print. The instructions that come in the box says that the temperature range is fronm 32 - 99 F. Really? The temp accuracy is +/- 2 C which is about 3.5 F. I can guess the temperature within that range. I'm sending it back. UPDATE - My bad. The Inside unit is 32-99. The Outside unit is -40 to +140. Specified accuracy is still a bit iffy. I'll try it and review again.

Hace exactamente lo que dice.

Works great and is easy to read. I especially like knowing indoor and outdoor humidity. The clock shows the day of the week, which, for a retired guy, is good info.

Does the job fine, thanks!

I owned a La Crosse for 15+ Years until it failed this summer. Very disappointed with the quality and functionality of the replacement- not a patch on my old La Crosse. They appear to be cutting corners properly to save on costs.

Funciona bien para mostrar las condiciones actuales de temperatura y humedad pero no muestra el barómetro ni el pronóstico, que es justo lo más importante
