This unit is easy to read and works great--compared to what, I dunno.
We've never owned anything like this. But it's fun to have, much more
so than a simple thermometer.
Two caveats however. You need a very small flat-head screwdriver in order to put the AAA batteries into the sensor. Not so small as the one in an eyeglass repair kit though. I had a small screwdriver with a shirt-pocket clip, that small, and still had to file the sides down in order to reach the deeply recessed screws. I'll have to do this anytime the batteries need changing. Not the best design perhaps.
Second, the instructions tell you to put the (outdoor) sensor (1) in a sight line with the (indoor) monitor-- (2) open to the sky-- (3) out of the sun-- (4) out of the rain-- (5) away from metal-- It's not easy to do all of this! Ours is nestled in a plastic container cut up into the shape of a bus kiosk and tied to a post. I'm not sure if it's all 100% necessary.
The atomic clock took about a day to find its signal. The instructions warn about this odd (to me) likelihood.
It's a little discouraging to have to deal with all of this out of the box but as I say the device is great.
