Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We loved this item. The display is nice, the amount of info is nice. We liked being able to select cities around the country where friends and family live as favorites.

Unfortunately, after 12 months and 2 weeks, it can no longer pick up a signal. New batteries have not fixed the issue. I can place it right next to my older unit and the old one can pick up signal, new one can't. Very disappointing.

Batteries lasted about 6-8 months in both units.

Bought this for parents for Christmas and it is not only practical but fun as well. Plan on getting myself one too.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Stopped working after three weeks. Will not get a signal. Good luck. Better off looking outside.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Delightful product! Mine's in its 10th month of continuous operation, still on its first battery, and still going strong. I'm about to buy a 2nd one for my 11 yr-old son. I get great reception (3 bars) from my suburban location 15 miles southeast of Seattle.

A lot of the comments I've read in the other reviews state that the device stops working after awhile. I'd be curious to know from future reviewers how many months it lasted. I'd also be curious as to whether there's any correlation between reception and longevity (e.g. does it die sooner if it's constantly struggling to pick up a signal -- like the way a cell phone burns through its battery faster while roaming?)

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is a great product. I used to always find myself checking the weather a couple times a day. Now when I go out for lunch, I can see the temp to determine if I need a jacket or not.
The only con that I see with the unit is there is no display for the current date. It would be nice but not a deal breaker.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This forecaster only displays the weather in 152 pre-selected cities. If you don't live in one of those cities, you cannot get your local weather or forecast. Other than that, this is a slick machine.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I think there should be ways where you can select the city you want to uses.If I live in one city and the closes city to that for the weather is one hundred miles away what good is that. If I live in Quincy,Il i dont want the weather for Perioa,IL or Champaign,IL i want it for Quincy,IL. Sorry i dont like the protect

I bought this for my elderly father 4 years ago. He had no experience with computers etc and thought this was the best gift he had EVER received..just couldn't get over the technology. He kept it near to him until he passed away. NOW my mother has it with her in an assisted living facility and she keeps it right where she can see it at all times. I think it is like a link to the outside world. She ALWAYS knows the weather and somehow that comforts her. I would buy this AGAIN and AGAIN. No problems with batteries, reception, anything! Best [$] I ever spent!!!!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I received this as a gift last year. I save time in the morning by not having to go through the paper or online to get the forecast. So far it's been consistent with all local forecasts. Setup was a breeze.

Gives you a lot of information at a glance, and the graphics are elegantly simple. Just a pleasure to look at - and useful.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Really bummed. This was the coolest tool, but then stopped working. It ate batteries like they were going out of style too. Other than that the first year was awesome-- always having a forecast at your fingertips.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

First 8 months battery use was minimal..Maybe a change every 3 months...After that we needed to change the batteries every 7 to 10 days. Very expensive and frustrating. [...]When it worked it was a great way to get information re: weather, time and temperature.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Purchased product in March, worked for about 3 months then service decided to take a summer vacation. I couldn't get a signal! AAA battery life is very poor, maybe last 3-4weeks. No Signal, no battery life = back to relying on my right knee to tell me if it's going to rain.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

My comments vanished! What happened? Here they are again. No data appears on my device, though I am told by the screen that "Network found. Please wait 1 hour for data." Have been waiting for 11 months--device was a Christmas present ('08).

Checked your coverage map on internet, I am showed as covered.

Now how do I submit this comment? My last attempt resulted in annihilating the message!!!!????!!!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

The wireless update in Orlando, FL has stopped working and I can't find anyone interested in explaining or resolving this issue. I wouldn't recommend buying this product until issues like this are resolved.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Although it is supposed to update frequently throughout the day (the reason I bought it), it only updates all major info once per day and updates the current temp and "feels like" temp routinely. Also, would be helpful to have MANY more cities available! Will keep but would not recommend for the price.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I have to change batteries almost every month.
I only use for six months and already not working.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I received this item as a gift for Christmas. When it worked, I liked it a lot. It was easy for our kids to look at the temperature and forecast and decide what to wear to school that day.

Unfortunately, the reliability of the information was poor. Frequently, it would display the current temperature incorrectly (up to 20 degrees off!), and the forecasts were similarly incorrect.

I contacted Ambient (the manufacturer), and they informed me that there is signal interference in my area and there was nothing they can do to overcome this. They suggested I return the device to my retailer.

It's a great product idea, but you should definitely check the availability of a good signal in your area before you buy.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It really could provide more choices for city weather in each state. Unless you live in one of the cities listed, it is relatively inaccurate.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

After a year of good use, it died of an agonizing death. Tried changing batteries, resetting, changing locations in the house to no avail.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Unfortunately this has been a disappointment.
1) Have found only by the large kitchen window will it consistently pick up a signal and keep forecast up to date
2) Eats AAA batteries like they are going out of style. I purchased rechargable NiMH batteries after getting tired of replacing batteries monthly, but the product does not seem to function at all with them :(
3) The data is from our major city's (ATL) airport which, while in general provides reliable info, we would rather have something that gives actual temps and conditions in our own back yard, not at the tarmac 20 miles away.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It was great when it worked. But when it stops working, it never works again. I wouldn't recommend it because of this one thing. This is the second one of two that I know of that did this.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Purchased this for my husband for Father's Day and he loves it. Now I do not worry about him being outside working during the heat because he looks at the heat index and realizes it is too hot for him to be outside. Thank You for this wonderful gift that keeps on giving.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Used my Brookstone wireless 5 day Forcaster covering 150 cities every day to check weather and "feels like" temp before walking or otherwise planning the day.However, after only 6 months it quit working with no indications like low battery or no service. After replacing brand new batteries and waiting more than one hour..still not working. [...]

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

After the warranty ran out - so did the operation. Many times the device would not change days for the longest time. I took the device for rides in the car to see if it would pick up signals, no such luck. The company has had no suggestions or offered to service the unit. For the money spent,[$], you are better off looking out of the window. Do not throw your money away.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Received this as a gift at the beginning of the year and kept it in my bedroom, appreciating it more and more as the January S FL temp was unpredictable. Then last month it only showed the time. I changed the batteries and after three days the display appeared but a day later (about three weeks ago) it reverted to telling only the time and the wrong current temp. Have tried it in different locations in the home but no luck. [...]

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This unit worked for about 6 months and all of a sudden it started displaying "No Coverage Try another Location".It never was as accurate as I thought it should be but,was a good guess as to what the weather was going to be like.
I received it as a gift and apparently the City Jackson MS was where I was receiving the signal and it is no longer available according to the read-out on the display. Shame when good money is spent for things and get no better service. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This product is extremely helpful and easy to use for those who are interested in knowing the current weather in your area without any hassel of finding a radio station or tv channel! Keep it in any room in your house and it will tell you the current weather.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It stopped working after 3 months. I have changed the batteries, and moved it to different signal locations. It always says it is 52 degrees out and Monday it is going to snow. Even now in June.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

The unit worked reasonably well in the Worcester, MA area. All of a sudden it stopped receiving a signal. I changed the batteries and let it reset itself. That was two days ago, and it still is not working. Not a happy camper!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

My only issue with this product is that there were only a few choices of cities within my state; so the weather that I'm seeing is not as local as I would like.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

So far it has been very acurate.
It was easy to set up and everyone that comes
into the house likes to check on the upcoming
weather.
I don't have to guess anymore!!
I will be buying some for gifts in the near
future.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This item is very handy for a quick look at current and predicted weather, as well as current time. I keep it in the bathroom where I can see it first thing in the morning.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Works anywhere in our house, easy to program, I check it 10 times a day for the current temp.

The only down side is that it gives the day's forecast in one image, so if it is going to be rainy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon, it only shows a rain cloud for the whole day. You would need to get on your computer for a more detailed forecast.

I find it really useful to have this on the kitchen table and not have to check the computer for the forecast.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

great if you are a traveller and want to know what the weather will be.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It was great as long as it worked. The set-up was easy and we used it constantly but within 3 weeks, we no longer had reception. We tried to change the batteries but to no avail - what a waste of a [$]. If Brookstone can convince us that it can work, please send replacement free of charge - it's a great product when it works!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

My unit stopped being updated last Tuesday - so did the unit one of my friends has.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

The weather forecaster sits on my desk at work and receives the signal fine. It is great for checking weather for the upcoming days and is pretty accurate. However, the current forecast is not always spot on but is not too far off. The design is great and can be hung on a wall. Additionally the clock is updated over the signal so there is really no need to set the clock. Once you enter your city and receive the updates the clock will self adjust and will aways be accurate and will automatically change time with daylight savings. Since it does not have any weather forecasting components, ensure you check the lists of cities before you buy. Otherwise you will have to set the unit up for the closes city which may not give good results depending on your location.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

There really needs to be more cities added to the selection. Maryland and West Virginia have only one city each and they are not at all in the Panhandle area of West Virginia where I live. Otherwise the device would be very useful.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Whether I need to or not, I check the forecast on my WeatherCast several times a day. It updates every 15 minutes. The feature that most attracted me to this product was the fact that it did not require that part of the unit be kept outside to monitor the outside temperature. Instead, this one-piece unit transmits via radio signal. I also love the "feels like" feature because temperature alone doesn't necessarily always tell the whole story.I was surprised when it arrived to find that it was as small as it is, although looking at the description after-the-fact, I see reference to a 3 inch square screen. The size seems a bit small, but not so small that it would deter me from recommending this unit or from purchasing another for a different room.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

WeatherCast is used prior to me leaving home each morning. Albeit, the weather is pretty predictable in SoCal. Moreover, is helps me with my morning running schedule.

We have the 5 day weather forecaster mounted near the front door. Although we listen to the news every morning, it keeps us from being chained to the TV waiting to hear the weather over the noise of the shower, or brushing teeth. Everyone that comes to our home loves it, & three of our friends have purchased it. It's simple to set up & accurate. We have been using it without any problems for 6 months. Great for families with school age children. My girlfriends kids loves to check it before they go to bed to determine what they will wear to school.

Item rarely worked properly. Days didn't change, temperature didn't change, stopped working completely.[...] Waste of time and money.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

My wireless weather station is connected to the computer in my office downstairs, but this is a nice, compact weather tool that I keep in my kitchen. Even though it updates every 15 minutes, it still seems to be behind my weather station as far as the temperature.

This item is great! Does everything it says it does. Really convenient to have around to quickly check the 5-day forecast and current weather. Setup was quick and easy. Have it on the frig and look at it multiple times during the day. Very, very accurate forecast. Well worth the money. You will not be disappointed with it!!!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

If the darn thing weren't as expensive as it is, I'd have one at work and one at home. As it stands, the one at home works great. Good signal reception, even though I'm an hour south of Tampa in Sarasota. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer more city locations, but for those it does, it works great.

It's a great little gadget that I look at everyday.

My only suggestion to the manufacturer, is to make the favorite cities button and feature more user friendly, the button should be located on the face of the product, not on the back side. Mounted to the refrigerator door (with the enclosed magnets) one has to pull the unit from the door EVERY time a favorite city is to be checked... VERY awkward. Otherwise, a fine & fun product

I will cancel my newspaper subscription since I get more accurate weather on this device.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Before buying this product, make sure that your city is covered as a city to choose from. This doesn't have my city in it, but the city of the person who I bought it for. Also, make sure that coverage of the signal can reach your city. This information can be found on this website. Setup is easy: Put in batteries, set time zone, and set city, and put in a place near a window to get the best reception (bars) and wait for information to receive. The only disdavantage is that the weather may not match what is displayed because weather being unpredictable. Great Product!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This will not work in a rural area. We are 80 miles from a city and the weather forecaster will not work! Our city has a population of over 10,00. It will work great when we travel, but very disappointed that the description did not let us know that it only worked in metropolitan areas.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

it unfortunatly did not have an outdoor reader for direct application. All the weather info is based on the closest large city which is 45 minutes away. I don't mind the city info, but I would also like to be able to have direct local information.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

No option for receiving information for city in my state. It did for a few months but no longer. Instead I receive weather for city in next state 60 miles north of where I live. Useless. Have to change batteries at least every month.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I use this prior to traveling, and to keep in touch w/ friends/colleagues in other regions of the country. The one drawback is it can be a bit unreliable, depending on the location--i.e., where you place it.

A quick look at the weather for the day and you're good to go. I got one for home and three for gifts. Awesome!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is a good product and accurate for the cities available on it; however, I am disappointed that the forecast cities are so limited. I live in Frederick, the second largest city in Maryland, but it is not a choice on this product. The forecasts I receive are for Washington D.C. or Baltimore both of which are 45 miles away, and not accurate for my city because of our location which is more west and toward the mountains. I would think most cities would be avaiable since it uses satellites.

Bought one as a Christmas gift and liked it so much we got one for ourselves. Great little device for getting the forecast immediately. Makes it unnecessary to turn on the radio or TV for a quick overview of today's weather or the next 5 days. Easy to set up and use and has a clear, logical display. Ability to set 5 locations is a big plus. Updates every 15 minutes and never misses a beat. Only negative is lack of a backlight for the display. Can be tough to see in low light.

I purchased this as a christmas gift for my husband and couldnt wait to get it.

My husband was so disappointed (as was I) when the screen has remained blank. We've tried other places in the house and outside, still picks up nothing. I was embarassed that I gave him this as a gift.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This Brookstone Weather Station was prepared to do its thing as soon as I took it out of the box!!! Unlike a previous one that I had before and was no longer picking up weather signals, despite moving it all over my house, changing batteries, total resets, etc.----this one is versatile, accurate and picks up signals no matter where I placed it in my house. There is no separate unit that you have to hang outside or in a window (like my previous one). It gives you "real-feel" temperatures which is great for knowing how to dress and battle the elements. The only thing it could have included is a temperature reading for the inside of my house...but I'm using my former one for that, so all is well!!! This one even has a magnetic backing so I can hang it on my desk or on the side of my fridge. This is also small enough that I could pack it when vacationing....and you can program 2 other favorite cities for weather updates there. This is great for when I visit family who lives in other places; very helpful with knowing what clothes, shoes, weather gear to pack.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It is limited in its accuracy to the availability of the weather service info in your area. That being said, it is interesting to see how it differs from the TV news and the paper in its forecasts.

Easy to set up, very reliable, can put it anywhere in your home, easy to read.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

You often get more information stepping outside or looking out the window. Unfortunately, what Brookstone does not tell you before you buy the product is that satellite coverage is VERY SPOTTY, and the device "gets stuck" on a particular day FOREVER, unless you take it for a good long drive somewhere in the hope that it finds the mother ship. Lots of luck.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We bought this for our dad, who enjoys little gadgets like this, and while it does what it says it will do, the city he lives in wasn't an option in the list of cities you can receive forecasts for. So he had a choice between two cities that were almost 60 miles from where he lives. It's great idea, and a great product, but only for people living in bigger cities.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Faceplate installed upside down -- mine is mounted on the kitchen wall so it wasn't worth trying to exchange. Simple set-up. I like the instant 5 day forecast and the "what it feels like" feature.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Wanted something that would tell me the current weather conditions and a 5 day forecaster. Also it is really nice to see other areas weather condtions, if you plan to travel or have family in these places. Just really hard to find a signal in my house

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I keep the Weather Forecaster on our Fridge so i know the upcoming weather each day. It helps to know each morning "What it feels like" before leaving the house and waiting in Boston for the Trolly on Commonwealth Ave. on a cold windy day.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

i don't have to turn the computer on or the TV on to look for the weather forecast. it is very accurate

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We have had several weather devices and this is by far the best. It is very easy to install and use.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It works just like it shows in the catalog except it doesn't mention what cities are included. Virginia only had three cities listed none of which are exactly like mine but I still like it. So what if the temp is off by a couple degrees. I love not having to wait for the weather to come up on the news to find out the forecast on how to dress for the day.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

By giving you today's forecast, with expected high and low, including the wind chill factor, this product helps you figure out what to wear especially if you'll be out all day and into the evening. The additional four-day forecast gives you a sense of what to expect for the rest of the week. A great product!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

i am a gadge geek and love this product.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Its okay but not always accurate could use more cities

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This thing lets me know whenever a snowstorm is coming so i can grab my board and shred the pow!!!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I had an older unit that I replaced. The display is much nicer and easier to read on this one. It seems to be very accurate. I love the 5 day forecasting. The only other thing I wish it had was an outdoor sensor. I'd like to know what the temperature is outside my door. Other than that, I love it.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Great little gadget ... no hidden fees

My previous version of this device failed and Brookstone upgraded it for me at no additional cost

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I'm an avid walker and the "feels like" feature of the weather cast station is great for knowing how to dress in the morning.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This weather station only has 1 city availabe in NJ!! Trenton weather is not even close to the weather at the South Jersey Shore!!! Why can't there be a program to choose a city much closer to your location.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This weather station is simple to configure and updates itself every 5 minutes. It is a great addition to our kitchen.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I like it because you can just look at it when you are in a hurry and know what you need to know. It's a fun,useful device.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I recommend this product. It is useful.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

When you have a strong signal, this little device is great! Whenever you are in a weak area, it can not work as well. It's cool and useful, though!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Unable to get weather in home from unit

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Works fine but forecasts from cities 45 miles from our home. Needs forecasts for Monterey Bay on CA central coast and Santa Cruz County.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is great. I no longer have to wait around for the local news to give their forecast. It is
sitting in front of me (5 days worth) at all times.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

seems reliable, use it to what to expect for the day, week. Don't have to wait to hear weather on the news or in the paper.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Place the Forecaster near a window and watch as it updates the weather every 15 minutes. This is a very accurate, reliable device. Recommend it to anyone interested in watching the weather.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Bought it for my 80 year old father. Needed it to be easy and straight forward - it was.

ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT ... I PAID FOR THE ITEM TO BE GIFT WRAPPED BUT WHEN I OPENED THE BOX ON CHRISTMAS EVE TO PUT THE GIFT UNDER THE TREE IT WAS NOT WRAPPED.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is a great product and the forecast feature works great. Also able to switch cities easily which is a nice feature. Made a great gift for family.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Really disappointed. Shows weather for only two cities in my entire state and I live in the 2nd largest city. Very Disappointing and nothing advertising it indicated this limitation.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We use it everyday to help select weather gear to take with and clothing choices for the kids.
Our town is just 30 miles from the nearest listed city.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Gave to Father-In-Law as a gift. He had it configured in no time and was using it relentlessly checking the weather for friends and family's locations. He brought it with him on a drive down to Florida from up north and used it to constantly get updates on the weather. He loves it.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Check the weather

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Very simple and easy to use. Makes it very convenient when planning outings.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Great device, pictures don't do it justice!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We instantly know the current temp and forecast without turning on the TV or checking the computer! What a time saver!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

It is accurate. we don't have to have the weather station on all the time as this does update regularly

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I love the product. Considering the cost, I expected a higher quality supportive stand. The plastic stand is too small to support the device.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Seems to work well but gathers data from inland cities that are 45 miles from the coast (San Jose and Salinas) so the weather is not accurate for Aptos or Santa Cruz County.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I easily configured the weather for my area and now have it available to me at a glance. Since I travel a lot, I can also program other cities into "favorites" and with a quick press of a button, see the weather in those cities. There is no internet connection needed so it is convenient also. Very cool gadget!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Bought this as a Christmas gift for friends and they absolutely love it! I personally own the earlier model and love it as well. The new version has up to date features such as an arrow to let you know when the temperature is dropping or increasing--which is a nice added feature.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Purchased this item as a holidy gift to my father who seems to be always concerned with the weather. He enjoys it very much. Wish there were more cities to choose from though.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This was a gift to my husband. He is obsessed with the Weather Channel and I thought this would be fun for him. He really enjoys getting the weather report for other cities. We are newly retired and planning on travel so it should be helpful.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

dress your kids according to the forecast

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is like WeatherCrack to the weather addicted and is really handy before leaving on trip, as you can flip between cities seamlessly. The over-the-air radio signal works great, and NO SUBSCRIPTION FEES.
Fantastic Gift for anyone, although I might've bought the LARGER VERSION for a few extra bucks.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I love checking this product daily to plan on outfits for my kids and what our activities for the week will be like.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is a very useful device to me, i wake up at 6:30 am for work everymorning, instead of turning on the tv to see the temperature i just go to my frigde where i keep it and it tells me the temps and the feel like so i know how to dress. I love this product:) i bought my mother one and she loves it! :)

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We use it in the home and instaleld it next to the thermostat and read it on a daily basis

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Doesn't take up a lot of space. Perfect on a bookshelf or desk.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I bought this as a gift for my husband. The product was easy to configure but the closest weather location was too far away from where we live. So although he was given accurate weather it wasn't accurate for a location close enough to make it practical product. Knowing what is happening 1-2 hours away from us isn't useful.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I bought this for my daughter as a Christmas present and she absolutely loves it. She has it on her foyer dooor and looks at it each morning so she will know how to dress her two little girls. She has checked other cities for us when we have a trip planned.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I purchased this as a gift to my husband...I was upset that my city, Wilmington, DE was not on your available list of 151 cities!!! Not one city in DE??? I would have liked the website product info. to have listed the cities.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We keep this product in our master bathroom so that we can see the temperature and weather for the week while we get ready to leave the house in the morning. It's great for planning our daughter's wardrobe as well as our own.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Nice looking and easy to use weather forecaster. It was a snap to setup and pick my city. I live in Chicago so I was able to get my city along with a good signal. I did notice though that coverage for smaller city's seems limited. Unit has worked great and it is really nice to have the time and weather at a glance on my office desk.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Great weather forecaster. I can see what the day high and low will be in addition to the next five days. I can also check the weather in other parts of the state or country with just a push of a button. Great gift for those that are hard to buy for. I bought one for my father in law who lives in a retirement center and it is great for his room as it does not take up much space and he can plan ahead for the day or week.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This product is wonderful! My family loves the magnetic back and have it on the refrigerator so we can see it easily and refer to it often. My husband likes that you can check other cities. It updates every 15 minutes, is easy to read, amd it was easy to start. My neighbor is going to buy one for her Dad. I wish I had one upstairs.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Love this product! I purchased one for my self and then went back to get a couple more to give as gifts,,,,,,,

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Great product if you live in one of the 100+ cities included with the product. If the closest major city that you live near is 3+ hours away like I do then the product may not be the best thing for you.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We use the WeatherCast every day, multiple times per day. It was easy to set up. We purchased another one for a family member and her family loves it too. The favorites features allows us to keep track of weather in the various locations that members of our family reside in. The lack of any subscription is an added bonus.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Great weather forecaster. I can see what the weather highs and lows will be today and for the rest of the week or I can check the weather in another area of the state or country with just a simple push of a button. It also doubles as a clock for my office desk. I love it and would highly recommend it. It is also a great gift for someone that is hard to buy for. I bought one for my father in law who is in a retirement center, it does not take up much room and lets him know what to expect.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is one of the most useful gadgets i have ever bought.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

The product is great. It is small in size so it doesn't take up much space and the info is easy to read.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I look at it first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. I don't have to check the TV or radio. It's right there.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Top Notch Product - Accurate 5 day weather forecast.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Stand is no good and only few city can be choice

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is awesome. I originally bought it for my mom b/c I felt like it was time for her start living in this century and stop calling the automated weather system every day. She loves it. However, I had no idea how much I would rely on it! I check it every day before getting dressed. I also like how you can see different cities. It's totally accurate. The icons are a little confusing b/c a lot of them look alike, but there is a picture guide in the instruction manual.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Small and very transportable, accurate.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I bought this for my husband, who is a weather nut. It works great and is very useful to have a forcast so we know how to dress the kids in the morning for school. I would recommend this product.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I liked the versatility of this product, but I think it needs a backlight so it is not so difficult to see.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

We didn't read the description very well, we thought it was a satellite signal. But overall, we like it. We live about 20 miles south of the nearest city, but it gives us the general idea of the weather and the forecast. I keep it in my bathroom to figure out what to wear for the day because I am not consistent with following the weather on the news. It has saved me many times to remember to wear a jacket!

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

This is a reliable gadget to have in our home to prepare for extreme or wet weather. No waiting for TV or radio weather updates. Very accurate in forecasting the five days.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Very useful

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I like not having to wait for the weather forecast on TV or having to go to the computer, but the information is not always accurate. You may have trouble finding an adequate signal as well. I live in a suburb of a major city and do not always have a strong signal.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Bought this as a gift for my husband, he really seems to like it. I like that we don't have to put a communicator outside, like some of the other ones that I looked at. It communicates with a satellite or tower and gives us the current weather and forecast. It has been fairly accurate.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

Gave this as a gift to my parents and they loved it.

Comments about WEATHERCAST V2 WIRELESS 5 DAY FORECASTER:

I have the original Weather-Cast, and have loved it. I bought 2 of the new models as gifts for my two sons, and after seeing the new model, it is even better! The added wind chill function is great. My daughter-in-law is a weather fore-cast junkie and loves this unit. Everyone should have one.
