We just came back from a 3-week camping trip in Northern Ontario. As you can imagine, it was cold and wet, and worth every minute.
I'll start with this: the product is amazing, made exceptionally well, with high-quality materials. Setup is easy and can be done by one person (with some experience). It is sturdy and makes our camping experience so much more enjoyable. It is, without question, worth the premium we paid for it.
This screen house did what it was supposed to do, and very well. We bought it because of the walls that could be dropped or raised depending on the weather. Naturally, most of the time the walls were down, and amazingly the thing didn't let in a single drop.
Below is the only somewhat negative points you may want to consider; I would still buy it if I knew about them beforehand, but I may have prepared better.
The awning was kept open at all times, with 3 poles supporting it; as other reviewers mentioned, it collects water; if it's raining hard, it becomes an issue, as the water collected becomes too heavy and may damage the tent. And as the water overflows and falls down periodically - it creates nasty puddles; and every time it splashes it soils everything nearby. Also - the awning leaks along the seam in the middle (actually, only in one spot). It's not a big deal, but it is annoying.
It is made of dark material, so it is dark inside. I would have preferred if it was white, it would have been much nicer and brighter during the day. However, it is brighter when the walls are raised. Also, it may be too warm inside in hot weather. Where we go hot weather isn't an issue :)
Overall - a great product, I can recommend it to anyone serious about camping. Its biggest strength is with waterproof walls that can be raised and dropped as needed. It creates an extra space on your campsite that is always dry and weatherproof. If, however, you're going to a place where it doesn't rain - you may be better off with bigger standard screenhouse.

It gets the job done, but it is quite large and bulky and is difficult for one person to set up. The snap-in floor just provides some ground covering and in no way prevents insects from entering the screen room. Unless you really need to cover a picnic table, I would recommend going with a largish regular tent like REI's hobbitat.

This screen house is the center of my big camp. I upgraded to this one after struggling in the rain with another, lesser quality screen house. The Northern Breeze is worth the extra cost. The walls/awnings provide shelter from the rain as well as additional privacy. It can be a little difficult for one person to assemble, but I've managed. It is very well designed. I've spent many hours in bad weather inside this and it is so nice to be able to reconfigure the awnings and walls. During extended rain, it is more comfortable and far less claustrophobic to set up an awning rather than keep all 4 walls down. However, If you set up the awning as pictured, it will pool with rain water. The water slopes back toward the tent and doesn't drain until it is really full... then it will dump. For better rain shedding, I only use two poles and set them with a long pole on the end, a short pole in the middle and only a guy line to stretch out the corner. This provides a proper slope and the rain drains to one side. A single set of awning poles (1 long & 2 short) is included, but you can order more directly from Eureka. Get at least one more long pole. I've been really happy with this and all of my Eureka tents. Happy Camping!

What a great purchase. Not only is it helping out w/ privacy due to the drop down sides but its working out great for our hot tub. You can either close all sides down while in it and its nice and warm or just open up two of them for a cross breeze. Assembly well it wasn't to bad as long as you have 2 people to do it, instructions where hard to find they were inside the bag that had the spikes in it which of course is the last bag you open up. Other than that its GREAT !!! We are actually taking it down and ordering the floor that comes w/ it and giving it to our daughter for her camping trip. Imagine that a product that allows you to do more than just one thing w/ it.

Great Screen Tent, I like the double entry exit feature and roll up privacy flaps/awnings. Zippers are good, usually one handed but on occasion will catch the cover. On the down side the roof seams need some kind of seam seal/silicone treatment as it did weep, not leak, water during a hard rain. One might want longer tent stakes too.
