Customer Reviews of Oregon Scientific BAR338PA ExactSet Projection Clock with Cable-Free Weather Forecaster
Customer Rating:  Summary: exactly as advertized Comment: It works as it is supposed to - very easy to use and very useful. I wish all products were like this. Customer Rating:  Summary: Fun for a year or two before it breaks... Comment: I've owned this clock since fall of 2004. At first it was AWESOME aside from the annoying high pitch noise when you hit the snooze button to light the clock up and the ultra quiet "squeek... squeek... squeek..." of the alarm clock. I bought it because any sort of light keeps me awake and I was sick of covering the display of my old alarm clock each night. This is nice because there is no bright light from the clock aside from the projection on the ceiling, which NEVER kept me awake. After about a year I started having issues with the thing. I had to buy a new outdoor temperature sensor box ($15 or so) because the display went out on my first one and because it stopped sending a signal to the clock, resulting in annoying display of "--.-F" on my ceiling at night. The new box has since failed in the same ways. The display on the projection part of the clock AND the temperature sensor box started to go out (it's to the point where there is no first number and the second number is half gone as well, leaving me only with the minutes displayed), and the clock fails to pick up a signal from the temperature sensor even with the temperature sensor sitting right on top of the clock. I can't get the clock unit to pick up a signal to set the time now either and the thing hasn't even moved in 4 years. It's fun for awhile and for those who have disposable income. I don't and I expected a much better product considering this costs ten times as much as the alarm clock that I had for 18 years before trading it in for this $50 piece of junk. It's going into to the trash today. Customer Rating: Summary: Grandpa likes it! Comment: I bought this clock for my grandpa for his birthday and he loves it! Says it works great and enjoys being able to tell what the weather will be like when he first wakes up, lol. Customer Rating: Summary: atomic clock Comment: atomic clock. pros: accuracy. got to have at least one clock in the house as an impecable time machine. spotlighting of the time and temp on the ceiling in big red numerals certainly gets your attention at 3am. makes me laugh and shake my head. great idea. cons: five second backlight is too short. ten seconds would be better for us smooth brain old guys. the alarm sucks, again for us older dudes. my wife, three rooms away, said "is that the alarm?" i had the clock up to my ear and said "what alarm?" i mean she has dog ear hearing, and i don't. hmm, i mean that in a nice way. i suggest the manufacturer crank it up a cuasimoto(sp)or two (humped back ND bell ringer) for us slightly hearing challenged people and heavy duty sleepers. overall, i do like the device and would buy it again for the accuracy and the red numbers on the ceiling. chris sturm of easton, md. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Product! Comment: This is a very good projection clock. I have been nothing but pleased with the operation. The remote weather sensor is a great added feature. It's nice to be able to look up in the morning and see what the temperature outside is. Overall Very Good product at an excellent price.

Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens.
