What's great about it: you can personalize the messages. it's pretty cool
My husband works in the snow removal business and this product lets us know what the weather is in areas other than our own. Saves unnecessary trips in the middle of the night!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Simple, Easy-to-Read Display
What's not so great: Computer voice audio feeds
I had been wanting a weather station for some time, and found this one after doing some research. It has a stream-lined, easy-to-read display that is not cluttered with lots of information I don't care about or even understand (barometric pressure readings?). It was fairly simple to hook-up to the internet and my router, and I was able to get it registered with no problem. It has the ability to report on five different locations (for a small fee good for the lifetime of the device), so I can keep up with the weather across the country wherever my family lives - very cool!
The audio forecast uses a computerized voice, which isn't too bad, but it is prone to clipping off the end of sentences and mispronouncing the names of cities and other words in the available audio feeds. Speaking of audio feeds, don't buy this for the news, sports, etc... feeds; the selection is poor and consists of the computer voice reading from short news articles. But if you want a desktop weather station with a small footprint, which also serves as a clock and calendar, this device may be for you.
