I was looking for a quick way to know how to dress the kids for school, without waiting for the TV to tell me... Anyway, I've got too much to do in the mornings to wait around for the TV. There are loads of these kinds of devices on the market, but very few with a sensor for indoor humidity, which I wanted. This along with the "forecast" feature, makes this one VERY useful device. The only thing I'd change is having the display backlit, because it can sometimes be a little difficult to see in certain light conditions...Conclusion: Works as advertized, delivers the necessary information with no fuss, and amazingly, it's REALLY accurate with the forecasts. I've learned to trust the device... Even with it doesn't look like it's going to rain. It's worth the money.
