Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Center Review:

The customers who reviewed the product gave it a rating of 3.1 stars. They found it easy to mount and setup, and that the readings were fairly accurate, which was considered very important since the weather forecasts depended on these data. One user commended the battery backup of the base station as being very helpful, since he could move it around without losing his settings. The same user also found the signal to be fairly strong connecting the base and the remote sensor units even when he moved the base unit to different locations. Many reviewers found the touch screen display cool and attractive. From their experience, they also recommended setting everything up first on the kitchen table to make sure everything was working properly while in range of one another.

So far, one qualm that was brought up was that the sensor poles were made of heavy plastic and possibly not be able to withstand locations that were very hot and sunny. Users also complained about the instruction manual not being very clear for many of the functions of the gadget. At least the display for this unit was found to be very readable, but that the backlight did not stay on for longer than 5 seconds. A couple of users had the poor experience of getting defective products but they were replaced.

Overall, the reviewers were very happy to recommend the Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Center for potential buyers. This is the perfect choice for mid-range buyers who are looking for good quality and easy-to-use wireless home system.
