Good value for the money. Works as described. Had a previous model for many years and it finally conked out. I like the newer version as it is more horizontal as opposed to vertical for sizing. It fits better under our cabinets. We purchased the basic model and love it
I had it register 56 lightning strikes on a storm. I liked that feature. I have three other temp gauges and yet his one s off by about 7 degrees. The others stay the same or off by one.
The device constantly shows interference in the lightning monitoring. This function does not work.

I like the brightly lit display and the features. The only thing that I question is the accuracy of the sensor on the outside of the house. It seems to read a couple of degrees high to me.
I have the unit in my upstairs office where I start of the day. This gives me an indication of what the weather is like and helps me to decide what I want to do for the day. Also a comment in your setup instructions about using Lithium-Ion battery would work better in cold weather made me purchase Lithium-Ion batteries for the outside sensor for this unit and for my weather station.
