This weather station is nice. The price point is right at around 30$. Came with one wireless thingy to put outside so that the outside temperature gets recorded. There鈥檚 a name for that thingy but I forget now. Receiver maybe? But it鈥檚 not receiving anything. The weather station would be the receiver in that case. Anyway鈥 it comes with a colourful display with 3 brightness settings. I keep it on super bright all the time. Like all weather stations, if you operate it with batteries then the display times out then you have to walk to the station to see the weather again which I think is a downfall of weather stations. I say鈥 if you鈥檙e on then stay on! The one thing about this one aside from the thingy that goes outside, cuz that鈥檚 a thing too鈥 is that it says you can hang it up on the wall. Well鈥 I鈥檓 not so sure. See鈥 the battery compartment bulges out a notch which is fine but the hole where the hook would go does not bulge out flush with the battery compartment so it makes it challenging to find the right hook when otherwise any hook would do. And in behind where the USB plug-in cord goes because I want it on all the time鈥 and it stays bright all the time with the USB cord but the connection hole where the USB cord goes is right in behind the battery compartment area so when you hand it up on the wall with the USB cord plugged in the weather station tilts forward at the bottom leaving the whole thing in an awkward angle and it doesn鈥檛 look pretty. And it has to look pretty so I would say that the only way to be pretty and on the wall then you have to use batteries and what happens with batteries鈥 it doesn鈥檛 stay bright very long and you have just another black square hanging on your wall. Well to my opinion that鈥檚 no good so I decided not to hang it on the wall and I put it right next to the TV. That way, I can tell it the weather man on the news is bluffing. And it comes with an alarm for those who want to use it as an alarm clock. The set up is easy and the settings are really a breeze to go through and the touch screen is responsive. Overall it鈥檚 good 鈥 just not on the wall! Cheers!
