Oregon Scientific RMR382A-BK Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock, Black
This is convienent because I don't have to place it near a window or other access to outside; it's next to my easy chair & sometimes in the bedroom so as to know how to dress for the day



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Xmas gifts
I bought three of these for Christmas gifts for my family. They all loved them and reported that they work as advertised.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Inconsistent Temperature Readings
I was dissapointed by the inaccurate temperature readings on this wireless Oregon Scientific item (RMR382A-BK). I placed the external sensor right next to the inside main base unit (with its own sensor) and the temperature was measured as 77.5 degrees on the external sensor, and 74.5 degrees on the base unit (the inside part). The actual room temperature was 73 degrees. This is hardly what I'd decribe as accurate measurements and certainly isn't what I expected.

I called Oregon Scientific and their customer service person said, "They are built with an expected five degree +/- variation." I replied that is a huge range for a digital thermometer and that I can get that kind of "accuracy" from a spring or mercury style thermometer. I also found it interesting that nowhere on the box or in the instructions is this five degree +/- range of accuracy mentioned.

The customer service rep didn't seem to really care about my issue, and keep trying to act like this is "OK" and should be "acceptable" and inferred that if I wanted better accuracy I should purchase one of their more expensive models.

We'll, it's not OK to make crappy products, especially with the Oregon Scientific name on them. The RMR328A will be going back to the store tomorrow and I'll be looking for another manufacturer that hopefully has a little tighter standard for their thermometer's accuracy.

The Oregon Scientific name used to stand for quality. It seems that this is no longer the case. At least on this model anyway. And the customer service response that "this is somehow OK and acceptable" is beyond me.

Oh, and by the way, I noticed that this thermometer (as well as many of their other wireless models) is manufactured in China. I wonder if this is part of the problem?

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Barry Review
Product does what it is supposed to do. The readout is large and easy to see. Only complaint is there should be a way to turn off the freeze warning audible alarm which is irritating. It goes off continually. The only way to silence it is to set the outside unit on a different channel than channel 1. Perhaps Oregon should consider doing away with this feature.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Do your homework better buys are available
This item arrived without batteries.........same version thru Oregon Scientific includes batteries...must be the stripped down version thru Amazon......other than that it set up easy..works perfect once I found batteries to fit.......takes 1 aa & 2 aaa, shame they didn't make it to work with aa batteries only..........
