FEATURE/GE Line of Wireless Digital Weather Products Make Great Gifts This Holiday Season CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2003--Looking for a great gift idea? Thanks to GE's Home Electric Products, Inc. and its latest line of Wireless Digital Weather Products, consumers can get timely weather readings when and where they want. Now there's no need to stay glued to television weather channels to get accurate, in-depth weather including temperatures and humidity readings, forecast, lunar cycles and trend graphs. GE makes gathering this information quick and convenient.
The premier offering in the line is the new GE Wireless Weather Station. This state-of-the-art product includes a number of unique feature combinations, including standard options such as temperature, humidity, date and time. But that's not all. It also includes many unique options such as a forecasting feature, lunar cycles, ice alerts and even trend graphs.
The Wireless Digital Weather Station provides the ultimate in flexibility because it's wireless. It is battery-operated for convenience and gives consumers the freedom to place a sensor inside or out. Consumers are able to simply glance at the station on their bedside table or on a nursery shelf or a kitchen counter - rather than walking outside to read a thermometer or wait patiently until their favorite TV morning show broadcasts the weather report.
Most people aren't satisfied with the three minutes of weather they receive on the six o'clock news anymore, said Robert Taylor, President of GE Home Electric Products. The increasing popularity of cable television weather channels and the influx of expensive, hand-held electronic weather devices are proof that consumers want more. He continued, GE's new line of affordable Wireless Digital Weather Products combines the latest technological advancements and makes it possible for the average consumer to receive the weather information they crave.
Consumers can also choose from a wide range of beautifully designed high-tech Wireless Digital Thermometers that monitor time, as well as indoor and outdoor temperatures, within a 100-foot range. A transmitter with dual or multi-channel capabilities that displays temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit can be placed inside or outside the home.
GE's Wireless Digital Weather Products retail for $19.99 to $39.99 and are available nationwide at Target, Home Depot, and other retailers.
