Reasonable and functional product
I bought this product so that I can keep track on the local weather. This is the best reasonably priced weather station that I am happy with. Still the user manual should be better (not sure hos to get Wind Chill and heat index function to work.....) and the mounting option should be better equipped.
Overall all I am happy with it.

Good accuracy
I have the Oregon Scientific WMR100 which comes with a rain collector a combined wind/temperature/humidity sensor a display unit and various mounting hardware. I tested its accuracy in several ways including pouring carefully measured amounts of water (from a rain gauge) through the rain collector comparing the temperature readings with a very accurate thermometer and holding the wind sensor out the window of a car at 40 mph. The results were impressive. I had previously tried these tests on a LaCrosse weather station as well as one from Radio Shack neither of which was completely accurate. The Oregon Scientific WMR100 was right on the mark for measuring preciptiation and also for temperature. The temperature was down to minus 15F one night and lithium batteries still worked fine. The outdoor temperature sensor is slow to respond to rapidly rising or falling temperature but this is probably a good design feature to avoid over-reaction to direct sunlight if it's not in the shade. The wind speed readings for 40 mph on the odometer ranged from 40 to 45+ on the display unit but doing this out the window of a car may not be 100% reliable as a test! The display unit sits firmly on a table (well weighted in the bottom) yet is easy to use as a hand unit. It is a little inconvenient to have to scroll through the settings to see everything -- for example the readings for rainfall UV and barometric pressure do not display simultaneously and it is necessary to use the control buttons to change between these settings in order to see them all. The manual is good in explaining everything. The construction is very sturdy considering that it's made of plastic and the mounting pole is even metal. All in all I am very satisfied with it and certainly would recommend it over LaCrosse for a number of reasons. From what I would expect for something at this price I would give it 5 stars.
Update July 2 2008: After several months the temperature and humidity signals were no longer coming through to the display unit without constantly having to reset the sensor (on the roof!) so I returned the whole weather station under warranty as instructed by Oregon Scientific's Customer Service Department listed in the warranty. After more than 7 months and many inquiries they had not sent me the new unit yet saying that it was "back ordered" and would be sent when available.... in a few months! I then contacted the Oregon Scientific retail store where I had purchased the unit and with no hesitation they told me that they backed the product and would send a replacement. So if you buy buy from a retailer who will back the product or directly from the company's retail store. Don't depend on Oregon Scientific's Customer Service Department! The Oregon Scientific retail store in Tigard Oregon was very helpful in dealing with the problem because I had purchased it there in the first place and they still had a copy of my receipt on file. My only regret is not having called them first when the problem began.
Update July 24 2009: This weather station is still working wonderfully!

Do your homework
The Oregon Scientific WMR968 is a very inexpensive but complex weather instrument. I have been researching home weather stations for over a year now and just purchased the WMR968 from Amazon.com when the price dropped by half. At the current price it is worth the extra trouble to get it to do what it should do. At this price you have to expect to do some extra fiddling to get it to perform. If you really want a weather station that is going to perform perfectly time after time right out of the box keep looking. This isn't the one for you. But on the other hand for those of you who like me have very little cash to spend on a home weather station this is a good buy.
Only beware! As is noted in these reviews and on many other consumer review web sites the manual that comes in the box is trash! Do not use that manual to set up and tune your WMR968. Please please please go to the Radio Shack website and download the manual for the Radio Shack Cable Free Weather Station with AccuWeather and use that one it is excellent! The Radio Shack weather station is identical in all respects to the one sold under the Oregon Scientific brand name except that for some reason it has a real manual written by a real American and it has all the information you need. Note that the manual that comes with the Oregon Scientific weather station has 9 pages. The Radio Shack manual has 36 pages.
My advice: if you decide to take the risk and purchase the Oregon Scientific WMR968 from Amazon.com like I did read all the consumer reviews even the nasty ones. You should know what might happen to you. Gather up as much information as you can. I have found several exellent tips on setting up and tuning the WMR968 on this and other web sites. Another suggestion: join and contribute to a weather station bulletin board such as WeatherMatrix.net. Share your knowledge and experience with others. Finally don't be tempted to cut corners when setting up your weather station. The sensitive electronics are not tolerant of abuse. Do your best to make sure everything outdoors is weather-tight.More detail ...
Pretty good for multiple location humidity & temp display.
We have an older home that had some mold issue we had to correct when we moved in. I have a weather stations and various temp/humidity sensors in the house but wanted a centralized unit that could display temp and humidty. The temp and humidty are very accurate (I used my high end Davis unit to compare data) from the base unit and remote sensors. I have been able to determine that having the bathroom exhaust fan for 10 min after a shower is inadequate. With this sensor I know it needs to run for 20-30 minutes to bring the humidty below 60% again. Having this data was vital to prove to my wife that she needs to keep that fan on which she hates doing otherwise.
I have had no issues with the display clarity and think there is adequate backlight when the button is depressed.
There are a few cons:
1) Unit lacks a max/min for temperature or humidity. I found this very surprising since Oregon Sc. has this on their other units that sell for much less. There's merit for keeping things simple but this was just being cheap on their part.
2) There is no trend indicator showing if temp & humidity are rising or falling. Again this would have been very easy to program into the main display but I'm getting picky.
3) Additional remote sensor prices are unreasonably inflated. This is just robbery. For the price of 2 additional sensors you could buy a new unit with 2 remote sensors (unfortunetly the outside doesn'ty let you change the transmission channel).

Really cool item!
This is one of the best purchases I have made of recent memory. It is one of those gadgets that every person can appreciate. The projection gives you the unique advantage of seeing the time from anywhere in the room. The indiglo is also really cool if the projection is off. This clock works off batteries (there is an ac adapter for the projector) so it is easy to take with you if you are traveling. I put the outdoor monitor in my window and I can constantly tell what the temperture and upcoming weather is. The best part is the clock is tuned into the atomic clock and is constantly setting itself for accuracy. This little guy is also pretty tough I have tripped over the cord for the AC adapter twice (I can't tell you how infuriating this is) knocking it hard to my hardwood floor. Its still kicking. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who appreciates a good gadget I have loved it since I bought it.
