Product review (5 stars): AcuRite nails it with this one
We live in Florida where knowing the outside temperature and humidity are kind of important. We had a nice digital indoor-outdoor thermometer but somebody (being me) dropped the sensor and alas, it gave up the ghost as they say. I ordered this one based upon the ratings by customers, and I did notice that there isn't one that didn't have some negative reviews. But taking a chance we ordered this one. What I like about this includes the large digital display. I am seven feet away and I can read this as I write. I also like the fact that it only takes 4 AA batteries to power up, not 8 like the last one. It operated as soon as I loaded the 4 batteries and the owner's manual is not really necessary to get it running. The stand is stable and the sensor can be hung on a hook outdoors or it will stand on it's own. It also records the highs and lows but I am more interested in the right now information so this works for me.
