Seems like a good product, lots of information for the $$ spent.
However, the QC at the factory missed - at least this one.
10-digit of indoor humidity level has dead and weak segments. They are 8-segment numbers and several are either dead or weak on the 10-digit. Giving it 4-stars for now...
Returning for a replacement.
If the replacement works, then I will be happy. I will add information to how it works at that point...
If the replacement shows the same or other defects, my review will be edited/appended and the stars "will plummet".
NOTE: Amazon made the return process painless - they get 5 stars for that!
=================
Update, 02/16/2023 - now 5 stars!
Have owned and used the replacement for ~6 days now.
=> Display on replacement unit has ALL segments for all digits and information visible!
What I like:
-------------------
*Easy to program. I set the clock deliberately "off" enough to check the WWV/NIST receiver. By next morning when it had found the transmitter, the clock was set!
*Very bright display, even in a fully lit room. It can be read from across the kitchen. One small gripe, if they had auto-dimming feature, that would be fantastic. Like I said... VERY bright display...
*Accurate as far as I can tell - indoor seems very accurate (see pics), the outdoor within +/- 2 degrees more or less (see pics). I have to say that outdoor, I am happy with that - I use it to get a general idea of if it is "sweater/fleece or T-shirt" weather anyway, not for precision measurements!
-------------------
I used a Fluke 179 multimeter with a "type K" thermocouple, Fluke 80BK-A to measure against the LaCrosse. The meter is "good for" 0.1 degree resolution with a 1% accuracy between -40F and +752F (!), however the thermocouple is listed as "Accuracy: +/- 2.2 °C or 2% whichever is greater ((0 to 260 °C)".
All measurements were taken before sunrise, to avoid any solar "influence" on the outdoor readings.
=> I will NOT say that my Fluke is more accurate than the LaCrosse station - I have no evidence to support that! And I will not go through the rigmarole of calibrating the thermocouple...
*Outdoor sensor: placed it in the ribbed weather housing (LaCrosse 925-1418) they recommend and attached it to the north side of a 4"x4" post. One gripe there: the screwheads (Phillips) require a very "sharp" (read: new) screwdriver if you don't want to slip and round out the screw heads' "+" grooves. ...and predrill the holes for the screws!
Not so fond of:
-------------------
*The "landscape" weather forecast. Yes, it has trend arrows, etc. But being "old school" I would like the barometer reading in numbers presented. The WX-station I replaced (Ac*rite) had a 12 hour barometer graph with numbers readings, that was nice!
*Minor gripe: the buttons on top are labeled on the backside and since I have my station wall-mounted I need to take it down to read the button labels so I know which one to push (do YOU remember all buttons on all equipment you have?) Will print a label strip and attach on the front for my benefit...
*Minor gripe 2: If they had made the major numbers a little smaller, they could have fit max/min reading numbers in w.o. you having to push the temp button to cycle through and view them...
Summary:
-------------------
*Comes with AC adapter, and uses three AA-batteries for backup
*Has all the information available that I want (except the barometer numbers...)
*Shows trends (with arrows)
*Shows min/max (requires button push)
*Automatic time adjustment through the WWV/NIST receiver
*Very bright and clear display. VERY bright...
*Display is a bit "busy", and they seem to not knowing when to mix graphics, bars, and numbers.
*I believe it to be a "good investment". Time will tell. I will recommend this, but do buy the outdoor housing for the sending unit!
-------------------
The Ac*rite it replaces has served us well, but started to give trouble with the remote sending units, one dying all together and the replacement not staying connected. Whether the connection issue is with the sending or receiving unit I have not figured out. Also, the Ac*rite display was getting very dim (yes, all new batteries and AC adapter connected) and the brightness is set to 100%... Perfect for a completely dark room, however, my kitchen is not. Can't complain - had it for MANY years...

Reviewed in Australia on March 25, 2022
Unfortunately these devices only come supplied with a 110V mini Plug Pack, they are not designed to run from 240V even with a basic travel adaptor. Fortunately however they only need 5V which is the same voltage a USB port can produce so as per my pics all you need is to purchase an inexpensive USB to 3.5x1.35mm DC cable, connect it to an old USB Charger/Plugpack (or any USB port) and you're done! As seen in the photo, I'm using a USB Powerbank purely to demonstrate how easy this is to achieve but of course I'm using a small USB plugpack in its permanent location.
Note: the right-angle plug on the cable I bought off eBay (item: 154527783652) is a bit larger than the original so although it fits and works perfectly it isn't as neat & tidy as it could be.
