This is a wonderful unit for getting the latest weather from NOAA each morning.  I keep it in the bathroom so when I'm shaving or brushing my teeth, all I have to do is punch the big "on" button and the weather is there.  It is simple and works really well.  This is the best NOAA unit I've had for simple daily access to their weather reports.

I am very happy with this new weather station.
For the price it is very accurate in all it's reading.
The stations are about four hundred feet apart with no problems.

The only change I made was add a little square piece of plexiglass to the solar panel as we get some hail and I worried that part would be broken.

UPDATE: It has almost been a year since I bought and installed this weather station and it has preformed perfectly. I haven't changed batterys yet. The rain amounts have been "right on". A good buy for sure.

I love this weather station. It tells me the high and low for the day, humidity and the heat index. I also like the moon phases.

I purchased this unit to have an all-in-one device to measure not only indoor and outdoor temperature, but also humidity (since that seems to be a problem in my home).  This device is super easy to setup and provides a great deal of relevant information to me.  The clock that wirelessly adjusts is great so I always know the exact time.  And that Oscar character is helpful for knowing how to dress given certain weather conditions.

The one feature I'd like for this item to have (as well as all their other devices) is the ability to view this unit from all angles.  It really only is visible from a slight angle above.  A night vision feature would also be useful so I could view this at night but I suppose this unit's designed for the daytime.

This unit also features a daily high and low temperature at the very bottom of the device.  For those wondering, yes, this unit also shows maximum and minimum temperatures as well as relative humidity.  Along with the date.  Sorta pricey but you get what you pay for.

And yes, I'd get this again but probably with a bigger screen.  This screen is much smaller than expected.

I got this item on deal for $29.95.

I like the ability to know the temperature and humidity inside and outside.

Also, the forecasting has been fairly accurate.

This is the only weather station I have ever owned, so I have nothing for comparison

I have simply enjoy this weather station, the rolling banner at the bottom is great and shows high, low all time records. The wind measurement and rain gauge is really great as well. Love it....

I was able to record NOAA 19 weather satellite APT images with this kit and no extra hardware. Following the instructions for using a simple dipole V orientation (using the included tripod), the antenna was perfectly capable of receiving from the NOAA weather satellites. The attached photo was recorded from a parking lot with no buildings or large structures nearby. The rtl-sdr website has fantastic information about how to do this and tutorials for the software used etc. Additionally, I followed a YouTube tutorial to use this SDR and software called "sdrtrunk" (running on linux) to listen to trunked police and fire radio in my area. The unit itself works great, and I'm beyond impressed with the performance of the kit as a whole. I attached a template for the antenna orientation I used as well, for reference. (oriented with the V horizontal to the ground, and in the direction the template shows)

Ambient Weather WM-3
I have been using the WM-3 for a little over a week now and so far no problems.  I like to read reviews before I buy things, and I check  several sites like Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, Best Buy and places like that.  I also like reviews that are a little more than "great product, highly recommended", so I will try to give an honest opinion of whatever I review.
The WM-3 I received worked perfectly right out of the box. It is very easy to use and requires no setup before use.  Well almost none.  The users guide that came with it tells you how to calibrate the unit if you feel the need to.  I have a personal weather station, purchased from ambient several years ago, and I have been comparing the readings from the WM-3  with the readings from my station and they are very close.  I check my station readings with the readings from the Weather Nation, the Weather Underground and others so I know that my readings are very accurate.
If you look around the web for handheld wind meters you will find dozens of options any where from $20 dollars to well over $300 dollars.  So, what do you get in the high priced units that you don't get in the WM-3.  I really don't know.  This is my first time to use a wind meter.  Maybe more bells and whistles.  Some of the high dollar units have a lot of buttons, and will give you wind chill, heat index, barometer, dew point,  text messages, your horoscope.  OK, maybe not.  Personally I think most people looking at handheld wind meters just want to know what the wind speed is and maybe the temp, and don't want to press half a dozen buttons to see it.  The WM-3 has 3 buttons and they are very easy to understand. A power button to turn it off and on, a set button to show Max, min, and average wind speed, and a units button to select how wind speed is displayed, mph, knots, km/hr, etc.  Temp is displayed in degrees "F" or "C".  It also has a backlight feature that I like.  It comes on when you power the unit on but goes off after a few seconds.  You can override this and have it stay on until you power the unit off.  The users manual tells you how to do this.  The unit will power off after 10 minutes of non use and this is a good thing to save your battery.  I know, I can hear someone out there saying,  why buy this gadget when I have a weather APP on my smart phone.  I also have a couple of these on my phone.  But keep in mind that this data is for your local area, probably your zip code, and not the very spot where you are standing,  which may be very important if you are a hunter, fishermen, golfer, high rise construction, or other outdoor activity where knowing the wind speed my be very important.  Myself,I just like weather gadgets. The uses manual does not say anything about being water proof or water resistant, however, a little common since is in order.  The battery cover does not have a seal and the unit does not appear to be water proof.  A light rain should not be a problem, but I don't think it will float.  As for max wind speed the manual says not to operate above 67 mph.  I did a little test using my backpack blower. Seriously, I really did this.  I set the blower on a workbench and with it set to fast idle, I held the WM-3 several feet away and moved closer until I reached a reading of 73 MPH.  The users manual says that wind speed above 67 mph will be displayed as"---".  Probably just minor variation from one unit to the next.  I realize that this is a little extreme and that no one would want to be out in a 70 mph windstorm, but the WM-3 held together just fine.  It still works.

I just Got this Weatheradio from Amazon and its a really great deal, especially for the price that Amazon is selling it at.  it seems to pick up the broadcast recption very well compared to my old all area alert Portable weatheradio that couldn't wher this one can. with this weatheradio I can set the weatheradio only to pick up an alert if its for the county I am in Instead of receiving an alert that isn't for my area. for instance, severe weather that could be 50 mles away which my old portable would alert me for. There was no need for me to have to hear severe weather broadcasts that weren't for my area . I am really glad I got this weatheradio. I know now that it will only go off if there is severe weather for my area....
Lastly they say weatheradios should be as common in homes as smoke detectors

The WR-112 is the WR-333's little brother, but still manages to fit in many of the most important features into its small frame.  Living in Texas, we get a ton of bad weather, storms, flooding rains etc. that often result in power outages, so having a reliable emergency radio is a must.

The WR-112 runs on a rechargeable Lithium camera battery, which provides many hours of AM-FM Radio, NOAA Weather radio, 3 LED Flashlight, and the ability in an emergency to push some juice to your cell phone or other USB Powered devices.

There are several ways to power WR-112, hand crank dynamo, USB port on a computer or laptop, Mini USB Wall wort, car charger accessory, or optional Solar bag.  The Solar bag turned out to be quite the jewel.  The solar bag includes a standard USB socket, that you connect the recharging cable to to provide power to the WR-112.  In using this, I found that the bag provides enough power to recharge almost any USB device you have including cell phones.  While camping over the July 4th holiday weekend, I used the Solar bag to charge my cell phones, and to keep the WR-112 topped up, fantastic!

The hand crank takes very little effort to use, and can keep the unit running indefinitely. I had an old Blackberry wall wort, and used that to keep the radio topped up.  In this configuration, when power fails, the flashlight will come on and flash making it easy to find, and use in the dark.

The NOAA weather radio can scan for national weather service weather alerts, sound a siren, and play the watch or warning information. It is only recommended to use the this feature when you have it plugged into the wall as it uses a lot of power, and will rapidly deplete the battery. The weather radio does not include SAME technology, to limit alerts to your preferred counties, so any alert covered by your NOAA station will alert on the radio.

The unit includes a small solar panel on its top edge separate from the Solar Bag. This panel is too small to fully charge the radio, and is intended to extend the operational time on battery.  In my use, I found that if it was in full sun, the solar cell would provide enough power to add 3-4 additional hours of use before it had to be plugged in to the wall, Solar Bag, or cranked to recharge.

When using the WR-112 to recharge a cell phone, I tested with a Nokia 1520, Nexus 5, and Note 3.  On average the WR-112 was able to take the Nexus and Note from zero to about 50% on a fully charged battery. The 1520 was able to get about 60% of full charge. One of the interesting things about the WR-112 is that it is one of the few solutions that will use its own battery to charge an external device, instead of requiring the use of the hand crank to do the charging. The Solar Bag charged all three phones at the same recharge rate as their wall chargers.  I did not test with a tablet, or larger device, but I would suspect the recharge rate to be about half of the wall chargers for those devices provide.

This is a very small unit, as such it is not very loud, and the sound is flat, much like any small radio. It works great for NOAA, and Talk radio on AM, but I wouldn't use this as a radio for music outside while cooking out or camping.

Likes:

* Small, portable and rugged device.
* Multiple charging options.
* Rugged construction
* Emergency phone or USB device charger.
* Great reception of NOAA and AM-FM.
* Bright focused LED Flashlight.
* Easy to find and use in an emergency.
* Solar Bag is fantastically versatile, and not only works well with the WR-112, but any USB powered device.

The WR-112 is a great device to take camping, keep in the car, or use in the house.  Overall a great device, that does just what you expect from an emergency use device, especially for the price!

I love this! I bought one for each of our grandkids too. It's a fun way to keep an eye on the weather.

The NOAA Weather Radio works well.  Press a button for NOAA weather reports.  We had one occasion the radio turned on to notify us of a warning.

I bought this weather station for my girlfriend about a month ago for her birthday and she has loved it.  The display has a lot of information on it including date and time (synchronized with the US atomic clock), indoor temperature and humidity, outdoor temperature, sunrise and sunset information, and of course the weather outlook boy.  The weather outlook boy appears to use the temperature and barometer readings to display a number of icons indicating how to dress for the day and an arrow specifying if the weather is going to improve or deteriorate.  The boy has been very accurate with his clothing recommendations but not as much so with his weather predictions.  We have only had the device for a month so far though and it is possible that his accuracy may vary at different times of the year.
The device is not the easiest thing to setup and definitely requires that you read the instructions when doing so.  I initially had a problem getting the outdoor temperature readings to register but after reading the instructions, I realized I needed to install the batteries in the external sensor first and within 45 seconds install them into the main unit.  Since then the temperature readings have been coming in with no problems.
The main unit is flexible and can be wall mounted or set on any flat surface using the built in stand.  The buttons on the sides and top do feel a bit cheap and are very easy to press which can cause you to inadvertently press them when moving the unit if you don't grab it correctly.
Overall this unit has worked great so far, provides a ton of information, and is a great value for the price.

I really enjoy this weather station. it was somewhat confusing to get completely set up but once set up it is amazing the info that you can get on the weather from this. I love it.

I love this weather station!  We really needed the ability to determine humidity in the house because we live in the mid-Atlantic where the summer gets hot & steamy.  In order to avoid mold problems, we need to monitor humidity.  I love that this unit allows me to have three remote sensors.  I can track the temp & humidity in 4 total locations.  We have one sensor outdoors, one in the attic and there is the central unit in the living room.  I can still add one more sensor in the future.  I have found this unit to be very accurate in reading temperature, humidity & the atomic clock is always correct.  It was simple to set up as well.  I am not very technical (hubby is in charge of setting up all gadgets like this plus tv, vcr, dvd, etc.) and I had no problems at all setting this unit up.  Instructions are very user friendly.  For the price, this is a great unit and I recommend it without hesitation.

There are a ton of reviews here, so I don't know if this will make a difference.  I live in North Texas, and I am in the bottom portion of tornado alley.  I bought this unit based on other customer reviews.

I am really glad I did.  This unit works really well.  I like being able to set it for my county only, and I like being able to turn it on, and put it to snooze so that it only goes off when a tornado watch or warning has been issued.  I don't have to turn it off to make it be quiet.  It is loud, but I like that.  since you can set it to tornado only, it won't go off all night long unless the tornado warning continues, but that's exactly what I want.

I had no problem finding my county code based upon the link that was provided in the directions, but I had problems finding my "channel" to listen to.  My dad is a ham, so I just asked him to do it.  But I am sure you can find it easily enough. The reason I couldn't find it easily is because I had a bit of a reception problem, but now it's coming in nice and clear.  Put it near a window.

If you are in a county that is further than 50 miles from your nearest weather repeater, you will need to get an external antenna, so if you know that already, you might as well get the external antenna when you order the unit.

Great unit. I highly recommend it.

Just received the weather station and got it set up and so far I'm very happy it.  The large, bright, multi colored display makes the information easy to see, even from across the room.  There may be other weather stations out there that have tons of other information, but if your looking for a device to give you indoor and outdoor temp and humidity, the date & time and the current weather trend, then I'd recommend this one.  One last item, just having received the weather station I haven't encountered the sensor battery problem yet, but I'm sure the lithium ion battery solution will solve that one deficiency if and when it occurs.  All and all this is a good piece of equipment I'd recommend, from merchant that lived up to expectations.
