La Crosse Technology WT-5120U Projection Alarm Clock with Outdoor Temperature

The only con to this unit is the outdoor sensor. I've had two fail. I have it under the eve of my house, not in direct sunlight. Other than that it has worked very well.

work well , projection is bright but need a dark room . I have no regret . temp prob is working well also. wish the screen is lighted at night when it was on AC power. i will still buy it again

The clock works great, the temp is cool, but you can barely see the projector display in lighted conditions. It works great in the dark, but don't count on it projecting more than 2 to 3 feet away.

Bought the La Crosse to replace a unit from a competitor that was about 4x more expensive. The unit does almost everything that the more expensive one did. It has one remote thermometer compared with three, doesn't forecast the weather and the projection is a little less bright. It's smaller size requires that it be placed a little closer to where it's normally being viewed. To be fair, the original was replaced free of charge under the lifetime warranty, taking 2-3 weeks. That was after several years use and no proof of purchase (was a gift). The La Crosse comes with a 1yr. limited warranty. Because I was impatient and the price was so little, I made the La Crosse purchase and it arrived in a couple of days. (Sent out the original after it arrived.) If it lasts as well as long as the original unit it is well worth it.

I owned the older version (536OU) of this clock for about 7 years prior to buying this one. The old model was outstanding, and finally wore out after 6 moves and continuous operation. I was looking for the same thing only newer, and I got almost what I was after in this clock. Finding a clock with this many features, at any price point, is fairly tough. The only features it lacks (that the 536OU had) is two alarms programmable for two different times; the ability to choose what the projector displays (time/temp, time only, temp only); and the option to the turn the projector off or trigger it only by hitting the Snooze buton. The advantages to this model, however, are: * Much brighter back light * Much brighter projector (but not too bright. I keep my room DARK at night, and the red light does not disturb me at all) * Vastly better buttons - bigger and easier to press/operate * Offers indoor temperature and humidity as well as outdoor temp. Set up is pretty easy if you've ever set a digital watch before. The manual is clear enough if you haven't. Setting up the sensor is easy too (follow the placement instructions, though, or it won't be accurate). I actually used the old sensor for my old model, and didn't bother with the new one that came with the clock. Within about 10 minutes the clock picked it up and has worked fine ever since. Overall, a worthy replacement for my old model and easily worth the Amazon price tag of $20 or less.

Neat item for bedroom. Only negative is that batteries don't last long in the remote transmitter.

This clock is everything it says and more. Great display, every bit as good as the much more expensive Sharper Image one I replaced.

I've had this clock for about a year and it was great when it came out of the box. But now the projector is starting to dim and it's hard to read on the wall.

Pros: It is really nice to have the time projected onto the ceiling Temperature on the ceiling is cool too Display shows the time the alarm is set for without having to push any buttons Display shows indoor temp and humidity Cons: It is so small (about 5"x3") and lightweight (14oz) that it often falls off the table when I'm trying to snooze in the early morning Cheap plasticy feel Alarm is not loud at all - barely wakes me up The display is not lit so there are times when it's too dark to see the display and too light to see the projection on the ceiling Overall I was very disappointed in this alarm clock. It is not a quality product

Pros -Never have to worry that clock is too fast or to slow - self sets the time automatically via atomic clock via RF -Comes with sensor to monitor outdoor temperature, so you know what it is before you step out or turn TV on! -Compact, projection can be titled up to 180 degrees (so have it on the wall or ceiling -Projection can be turned off if you run on batteries along -Auto focus of projection, Nice big numbers appear on the ceiling with current time and outside temperature in red text -Display on clock is visible during the day without a backlight -Runs on AC and battery as backup Cons -None really, only one alarm, would have been nice to have a dual alarm - A radio wouldn't hurt either but it would be bigger!
