Poor quality electronics
Outdoor temp does not stay displayed for more than 30 minutes. Remote only 20 feet from clock. Tried resetting many times moving remote to different locations with no results to problem. Not reccommended.
Update (2/4/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Return policy
The clock doesn’t synchronize the time due to its defective outside temperature remote. I called the manufacturer, LaCrosse Technology, and I was told that a defective remote will prevent the clock to function via radio. I find it very annoying that the company does not refund shipping charges on defective items. They charged me $7.40 for shipping me the clock and I had to pay $8.20 for UPS Ground for sending the clock back. The total shipping was $15.60 which is 43% of the price of the clock ($36). Their shipping policy also discourages anyone from getting a replacement for a defective item, because if something goes wrong again, you may exceed the price of the purchased item just in shipping charges.

TEMP AND TIME
The clock and TEMP WORK IN GOOD but the outdoor sensor for the TEMP DO NOT WORK AT ALL. Any reason for purchase is the fact TEMP READING outside without my parents having to go to another very SORCE this information. GIFTS disappointing when not working. GRRR!
