 Window Thermometer June 20, 2008
This is a great thermometer at a nice price. Bought two of them a year ago and gave one to a friend. Have had many positive comments about mine at home. The daily min/max readings are great and it resets itself every day. Bought two more recently to use elsewhere.
 Decent outdoor thermometer, but should do better outdoors May 27, 2008

A pretty simple outdoor thermometer that adheres to the exterior glass of a window pane using an included sticker strip.
Unfortunately, this thermometer requires moderate shielding from the weather. In a pounding rainstorm, water can get inside the unit. It doesn't exactly stop the unit from working, but the LCD crystal doesn't display as strongly as when the unit has dried out. If window it is mounted on doesn't receive any rain, then it should be fine.
Displays the current temperature as well as the minimum and maximum temperatures for the day. Min and Max temps get reset at something like 5am. (you have to set the time on the thermometer when you first install the battery. oddly enough, it has no ability to normally display the time despite having an internal clock.)
Comes with a removable translucent plastic back cover to make the LCD crystal display more readable. The unit also can be unmounted easily to change the single AA battery (which typically lasts about a year.)
I got one of these 2 years and the LCD display has started to peel away from the glass so the "minimum temperature" is practically illegible now. The current and max temp is still fine. I suspect the LCD peeling away had to do with that it seems to catch lots of weather from being on such an exposed window.
I've since bought another of this same model to replace the aging one. As outdoor thermometers go, this unit is good enough for the money. If it cost any more than 15 clams, I'd be disappointed though.

I was very excited to use this because I'm constantly calling our local time & temperature service. Well I received it and the batteries that came with it were completely dead so I had to buy new ones. Then after I got the new batteries it didn't even work. It has been frozen on the same screen that says it's -58 degrees. I'm not sure if it's just a bad product or mine is just faulty. But I was very dissapointed with this purchase.
 Great when it worked, not really weatherproof... March 1, 2008
I have owned 3 of these. They all broke the same way. I put them on the outside of a window between the screen and the outside of the window. It works really well.
I had no problem with the accuracy of the unit although it must be placed in a spot not in direct or even indirect sunlight. The sun can produce error factors of 10 to even over 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature.
What killed each of the units was rain. Even the little bit of rain that gets into a window thru the screen in a particularly bad storm will make some of the LCD's non functional. This leaves you with cryptic digits. It's ugly and not really functional. I actually went to the trouble of returning one to LaCrosse. They sent me a replacement, but the same thing happened to the replacement.
I am now tempted to buy another one as I just think it looks really cool in the window, and when they worked, they were very functional, cool looking and unusual. But if you buy it, keep it dry!
 Nice when it worked, but that wasn't for long February 14, 2008

I really liked this thermometer, it was neat the way it gives the temperature range for the day and the display was easy to read. Unfortunately it had some major problems. It is very sensitive to the sun shining on it at all, more than most thermometers I have used and would read at least 10 degrees higher than the actual temperature. More problematic though is that it first wouldn't stay attached any longer, and then just quit working all together. For the price, I expect it to work longer than just 4-5 months.
