I purchased one for myself and three as presents. As luck would be, the one I got couldn't operate off of batteries because a spring was missing from one of the battery holders. And running off of house current makes the display so bright I couldn't keep it anywhere near sleeping areas. It only covers weather in major population centers, which the nearest from me was about 75 miles. Good enough though.

I was mislead about "where" I could use the project--I do not live in any of the 150 cities listed. I was not helped by Customer Service at Bushnell at all (can't help you, call this number in CT). Connecticut number can't help me call Bushnell direct. Back and forth, no help and now I'm stuck with something that I cannot use. And as far as recommendations, I will not recommend any Bushnell products to anyone--including my customers at a major retail store.

Would recommend:  no

The locations used may not be accurate for your location therefore unless you are near one of these locations the unit is almost useless. The amount of data given is deficient at the price charged all the units should have the wind speed, and direction, and maybe pressure readings.

Pros:  Location Specific
Cons:  Location Specific
Would recommend:  yes

If you do not live close to the reporting area information for your location may be useless. For some reason the 5 day forecaster does not include wind data which seems a bit ridiculous when one considers the cost of the unit.

This unit is on my wall. I was able to drill a hole and put the ac adapter in an outlet out of the way in another room, so it looks great and it functions even better.
