Tools and Hardware Reviews of Oregon Scientific Wireless Multi-Channel Thermometer
Customer Review: Don't buy this model!
Summary: 5 Stars
[Edited December 23, 2007]
After 10 months of use, I will drop my rating to one star. This unit loses contact with both remotes on a regular basis even with fresh batteries in all units.
This isn't an Oregon Scientific bash. The Oregon Scientific RAR232 I own, which has a remote placed outdoors, is still going strong and works extremely well.
I've bought the LaCrosse WS-9080U-IT and the WS-9037U weather stations, and the remote is working well to -10F so far with both base units (it was a package deal).

I can easily read the display 7-8 feet away in dim light.
The base unit receives its signal from the remote that I placed on the north side of the house on a shaded porch. In between are 4 walls since the two units are located diagonally across my house. Absolutely no problems with reception.
I purchased an additional remote (THR138). When I place the base and two remotes side by side at room temperature and let them stabilize for about 15 minutes, all three agree within 0.3 degrees Farenheit.
Read the manual! Add batteries to the remote(s) first, press the reset button(s) with something non-conductive (a toothpick), and THEN add batteries to the base unit.
I live in a cold climate. While I haven't experienced sub-zero temps since purchasing this unit, my other Oregon Scientific wireless thermometer, an RAR232, has worked just fine with alkaline batteries at -16F this season.
Excellent value.
