    It is great to be able to see at a glance what the weather forecast is, without having to log on the computer or wait for it on the TV news. It updates every 15 minutes so it always shows the latest. Only problem is when there's a 30-40% chance of rain, it either shows sunny (and then the rain surprises me) or rainy (and then I'm surprised when it's sunny all day). Wish there was a way to show the chance of rain. But all-in-all, a great product.

    This product is excellent. Clearly displays weather 5 days out just as advertised. HOWEVER it will only show the weather for major cities so if you live in, say, southern Washington, you'd have to choose between Portland or Seattle, both of which are greater than 90 mins away. You can pay for a service which will let you have the weather for ANY zip code, but, it isn't free of course. The reception is excellent inside my home. It doesn't have to be by a window to get a good signal. It is always up to date. Other than the zip code limitations, this is a great device all around.

    I'm actually on my second one. The first one bit the dust for unknown reasons but I just had to have another. It's accurate and zero effort to set up, just load the batteries. Speaking of batteries, expect to change them every 3-5 months which is my only complaint about the unit.

    This looks like it belongs on the fridge. The size is perfect and the info is accurate. I get a strong signal in the kitchen so it's always being updated. The clock is always right &I can rely on it to make sure my others are correct. But the forecast part really is PERFECT. I don't have to wait for a weather report. Just a quick glance at this will do. And it's constantly being updated. A bit pricey, but WORTH IT!!

    Nice Item But Just Barely
    By JackhutVerified Reviewer from Clawson, MI on 4/18/2008
    Pros:
    Big City - You're OK

    Best Uses:

    Describe Yourself:

    Primary use:

    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    This is a great item if you live near a big city. I live about 8 miles north of Detroit and it gives me the weather in Detroit. However, it also gives me the weather in Grand Rapids MI, Indianapolis IND, South Bend IND, and Fort Wayne IND none of which are anywhere close to me. To get closer service you need to pay a premium price, so if you live in or near a "big" city, this is for you. If you live in the "boonies", forget it.

    Primary use:

    We check out the weather forecaster every morning before getting ready for work and various times during the day. It helps us to know what to wear, if we need to bring an umbrella, and what (if any) outdoor activities we can do for 5 days(grilling, outdoor chores, etc.). The pictures make it fun and it's nice that it has the time too. What's great is that it doesn't have TOO much information on there. It's basic and easy. The only thing I see that could be better is the fact that when the weather changes during the day (rainy to sunny), the picture doesn't change with it. I guess that's not how it works though.

    Unfortunately after purchasing this item our zip code was removed from the coverage area - so our service is currently very spotty (updates perhaps every 3 days). Make sure your area is covered before taking it home!!!

    This receiver receives feeds from Accu-Weather. It provides the opportunity for you to receive data from up to five free weather locations in your general area. If you wish to receive data tailored to where you exactly live, then you can subscribe to their service. If you have a stainless steel refrigerator, such as ours, then all you need to do is attach a Velcro patch to the back of the unit. Otherwise it has a strong magnet already built-in that adheres strongly to metal surfaces.

    This is the fourth one I bought... first two were gifts for my Dad and Aunt... I loved theirs so much I got for myself and now I bought this one for my in-laws anniversary gift. Awesome display of the weather whenever you want to look at it! I keep mine on the fridge. I always zone out during the morning forecast and this is acurate and available to me 24/7 at a glance. I highly recommend for yourself or it is also a GREAT gift!
