Review: DIGOO Wireless Weather Station Digital Thermometer Hygrometer with Outdoor Sensor (DG-TH8380)

I received this product as part of a review program in return for an unbiased review.



Today I'm reviewing DIGOO Wireless Weather Station (DG-TH8380).

Pros
  • Measures temperature of the room
  • Measures humidity
  • Compact size
  • Able to change between 24 and 12-hour clock
Cons
  • Hard to see in a bright environment
  • Powered by 5 AAA batteries (Weather Station: 3 x AAA/LR03 Batteries / Wireless Sensor: 2 x AAA/LR03 Batteries)
  • No way to "expand" the weather station by adding more remote sensors.
The device is a neat way to measure the humidity and temperature in the room. The device also tells the time and the date.

However, the writings are hard to see under bright light as seen below.




In addition, the clock is displayed in such a small font that it's hard to spot from afar.



Although there is lighting that helps see the letters better, the light doesn't stay on.  It's probably for the better since the unit is battery powered and the light remaining on all the time would drain the battery.  However, I would like it to be lit so that I can read the clock better.


The remote unit allows you to get the temperature and humidity from different parts of the house.



The manual says the device can support 3 channels so up to 3 remote sensors.


However, as of this posting, there isn't a way to buy the remote sensor separately. And the listing on Amazon UK shows the remote sensor is out of stock.

The weather icon in the top right-hand corner seems accurate and so far, it accurately measured the weather that's happening outside.

All in all, while the temperature, humidity, and weather prediction seems accurate, readability leaves much to be desired.
