Customers said this weather station provides accurate temperature readings and barometric pressure with "a really clear display." Most found it "easy to set up" and reliable. However, several reported challenges with time zone settings reverting to German time, and many noted instructions have "very small print." Lack of backlight and rear-mounted buttons were common complaints.

Neil Good machine which does what I want it to do. Only down side is the buttons are all on the back and mine hangs on the wall but not a major problem. Excellent service from the company as well.

Rusi As an indicator of outdoor temperatures it is very good.

Paul I bought this to replace a similar one from another supplier that failed to show the outside temperature. This was easy to set up and has a really clear display and all the functions work very well.

Chirs C. Disappointed with this as have to reset the uk time every morning and an alarm keeps going off, so far have not been able to work out how to cancel the alarm. Hence only 3stars.

Anthony T. Excellent thanks

Dee Very good service from the Weather Shop. Easy to compare models, easy to order and the arrival was swift. The model we purchased was pretty straightforward to set up - once we found the magnifying glass in order to read the tiny print in the instruction manual! Slightly irritating is that the display isn't lit so anytime you want to see it you have to turn a light on. In the photo of it, it looks lit up.

John OK but instructions are very small print and controls for dsplay rather small.

Janet P. This was a replacement for an initial purchase that had some problems. The new one is working perfectly and we are grateful for the prompt "no quibble" service.

Ian Bought to replace a similar weather station. Easy to setup and gives accurate data. Happy with my purchase

Ieme d.W. For a similar price there are other weather stations that offer more weather information and are more accurate in my opinion.
Although the initial setup seemed easy enough, the next morning contact was lost with the outdoor sensor.
It took a lot of effort to get the units 'talking' to each other again.
Also some joker had set the alarm ex factory thus a rude wake up the very first morning ( my bad, I should have checked this).
All in all I would not buy an unit like this again, in my opinion there are very better weather stations on the market.

Edward This is the third weather station I have had; the other two were by Oregon and no longer availible.
Plus points: 1.Barometric pressure. 2. Shows trends with pressure and temperature
(increasing, decreasing or no change).
Negative points: 1. All the buttons are on the back which makes it tricky to reset max/min. 2. Instruction booklet has very small type - you shouldn't need a magnifying glass to read them! 3. Remote device needs a very small screw head to hang up.
Overall - worth 4 out of 5 but room for improvement.

Keith D.T. This product has certainly lived up to expectations in accurracy and output. I would haved liked a backlight as my sight is not good however.

David S. Delivery from The Weather Shop was fine, the unit is neat but I had to copy and enlarge the Instructions before they became readable. The weather station was purchased to replace a failed outdoor sensor on an old Oregon Scientific unit, this used the UK time signal. My comments and comparisons are with that old unit.
Being smaller, AAA batteries in the display unit will last for less time than AA’s, I regret that. (The outdoor unit uses AA’s.) Set up was reasonably straightforward, but the unit only found the time signal on my third attempt. I was then able to offset the clock to UK time.
I don’t know what I did to lock in UK time, rather than CET, but I did. The symbol showing it is receiving the time signal goes once UK time is offset. However, it came back when the clock checked the signal overnight. In use the main niggle is that the outdoor Max/Min display is operated by pressing a button on the back of the unit, thus effectively requiring the unit be kept on a window cill etc, rather than hung on a wall. Also the max/min record has to be cancelled by a long press of the button, I prefer the Oregon Scientific system of resetting each 24 hrs, but I did know that was the case, (after an email exchange with the Weather Shop). These niggles mean a 4, rather than a five.

Lesley E. This is my 2nd Technoline 9132 Weather Station. I rely on it for outdoor temperature particularly, so I can dress accordingly when going dog-walking. The previous one stopped working properly after 2 years - which is why I've only given 4 stars - so hopefully this will last longer.

Peter Work fine and reliable

Carole Smart looking and easy to set up.

Elizabeth B. Very good product apart from the time function which automatically resets to German time every day despite my manual reset. I cannot fins any information on how to fix this problem.

Davida A. Pleased with weather station. Took a day or two to get the current time set but friend got it in the end for me.

Alan The outdoor sensor readout is reliable, which is a major feature for me, however the time indication will only lock to German time, even after going through the offsetting procedure many times. Am I doing something wrong? I followed the instructions in the booklet, (which has very small type), and repeated this a number of times but it always reverts to German time. This is not satisfactory.
I also find the display contrast rather low and angle dependant.
After the delivery problems and associated delay I am sad that I have not experienced the full satisfaction I hoped for.
Sorry to be a grouse. If you can tell me if I need to do something different to get round the German time issue I would be much happier.

Maureen It was a Christmas present for my husband , we have it up and running. Marvellous present.

Terence K. The weather station is ok, but not as good as my previous Oregon Scientific model.
The instruction booklet is ridiculously small and although I dont wear glasses I needed reading glasses plus a magnifying glass to read them!!
It does not have a backlight

Bill Setting time-zone in clock not intuitive and not covered in documentation, but worked out eventually. Can't see any facility to set DST, or whether its automatic? Set station and sensor next to each other for several days, after which they were still reading 1.5C differently.

Alan Not yet received after many days and exchange of emails. Firstly the device was sent out with an incomplete address (lack of house number). This lead to the device being returned to you, followed by a call for the missing data, which I sent to you. I then

clive c. very pleased with it ,the only negative thing is it is showing british summer time we expected it to have changed

Nigel H. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get the station to connect to the time signal. I purchased this station to replace a 20-year-old Oregon scientific model which although still working, only ever had the European signal as I purchased it in France! Despite trying the station in two separate locations, several miles apart and in every place in the house I could think of, I still fail to get it to connect and automatically update. We live in N Wales and I can't really see why I can't receive the signal as I understand it comes from the Midlands?
