Title: Shabby Quality
Product review: If La Crosse made this clock with any care it would be a really nice product. For several years, I've had a slightly different model with wood accent panels instead of brushed aluminum and when the remote temperature sensor is working, it's quite useful. I've gone through several remote sensors, however, at $16 plus shipping apiece, and the clock seems to be unable to pick up the signal from the sensors in many cases even when the sensor is less than 10' away in line of sight through a window. Then the sensors stop working altogether for no good reason. Not optimal performance. The unit is well designed, lovely to look at it, but its remote temperature sensor and the corresponding receiver in the main unit are shabbily manufactured and unreliable. Anyone interested in a remote temperature sensor would be well advised to look for a different manufacturer.
