However, it may not be enough for those who want detailed weather data such as radar & satellite maps, wind speed/direction, or are just pure weather junkies that “need” to have as much weather data as possible (you know who you are!). It accomplishes its goal of allowing people to get the weather forecast at a quick glance and would be a great gift item for your friends/family who simply need to know the weather forecast at a high level.
The Brookstone/Ambient Devices Weather Wizard is designed very well from both a physical and software/user interface perspective. Some people prefer over Accuweather (I know this would require infrastructure changes to Ambient Device’s weather network but it would be a nice selling feature). Add the ability to choose between Accuweather or data.The Weather Wizard should display the ‘real feel’ temp.A couple of times, we noticed the unit was reporting a temp that was 10-20 degrees higher than the Accuweather website and it took around 30 – 60 minutes for it to synchronize with the website. Sometimes, the unit is not in-sync with Accuweather’s website.Some of the city codes are not intuitive (I had to loook at their website).Price ($85) is expensive compared to other weather devices (but can be had for a fraction of the cost on eBay).Automatically determines your location (we just inserted a pair of AAA batteries and after 5 – 10 mins the weather was displayed for Boston).Includes a foldable stand so you can display it on a desk, nightstand, etc.Includes a magnet so you can attach it to your fridge.It’s the perfect size – not too big, not too small.
The various weather icons are very intuitive, have a ‘clean’ design, and are large enough to read from a decent viewing distance.The E-Ink display technology is pretty cool – it does a good job of making you feel like you’re reading ink on real paper, which is easier to read than traditional LCDs found in most other weather devices.Overall, I recommend it but there are a few things you should know before you spend your hard earned cash on it: For example, prior to buying it, I never checked the weather because it was so time consuming to get the weather forecast from the TV. And, I must say, it has delivered on its goal of allowing the viewer to get the weather forecast at a glance. These products require no setup and automatically display the forecast data for 150 cities across the United States.I bought the Brookstone Weather Wizard (which is made by Ambient Devices) as a Christmas gift for my weather junkie-girlfriend and thought I’d post a review now that we’ve been using it for over a month. Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this order and I will be certain to share my WeatherShack experience with others."Īll Ambient-powered weather forecasting products tune into the Ambient InfoCast Network to receive data. ".the wireless thermometer arrived and as predicted my father was thrilled. On the net, as in real life, service is everything!!!"
Thank you for your help and very quick service. I had emailed the same question to three other companies and you were the only person to answer. I am ordering through you because of your timely response to my inquiry. "Thank you so much for your prompt delivery of the weather station! I was so pleased by how quickly it arrived. "This has been such a joy compared to many other places we've ordered from, I'm sure you will hear from us again." It's good to see that outstanding service is alive and well at Weather Shack, and I really appreciate your help." "Thanks so much for your diligence in helping me get this replacement part for my weather station.
