I ordered this unit to replace an older Oregon Scientific wireless rain gauge that had a bad sending unit (coffee can). The older model worked flawlessly for about 4 years in the Florida tropics. This new model works great and as a bonus, I was able to also use the old display since the new sending unit is compatible with both new and old digital displays. I had a problems at first until I realized I needed to remove the batteries from my old defective sending unit (it was sending a signal that blocked the newer sending unit). I only wish we could get more rain here in central Florida.
It worked for a few weeks. Now, it no longer computes rainfall and I can't get the Total and Current display to stop blinking. I looked all through the booklet but nothing mentions my problem. I've E-Mailed the company and they had me pull the batteries, let it sit for a day and reinsert the batteries. I let it sit for two days, put in new batteries and still can't get it to work. I'm now waiting on a reply (takes about a week to get replies). I figured I'd spend additional money to get a good one - BIG MISTAKE!
UPDATE: They had me "reset" the unit. It worked. Unfortunately, we went through a dry spell. It just rained and guess what? It no longer works. To reset the unit AGAIN means pulling the cover, removing a bunch of screws, battery and hitting the reset button. But why do that - it will just stop working again. I sent a message back to the company. Let's see if they do the right thing. I will keep everyone informed.
UPDATE [September 6, 2008] - They replied with another question and haven't replied since August 28, 2008.
UPDATE [September 19, 2008] - Just got their reply (from August 28). They want me to go through the reset process again! I informed them that they win - I give up. Not once did they offer to provide a replacement or discount - super company!
This rain gauge is really hard to set and use. It has to be absolutely level to measure rain. I had to log on to the website to get through some of the set up problems. If it didn't cost more to return it than its worth I would do it. I thought this one would be better than the LaCrosse I had before. I will purchase another cheap LaCrosse and be happy again.
Works great except birds kept swiping the screen, probably thinking the string that's used to pull the screen out was a worm. Screen is now totally MIA and the company does not provide, sell, or suggest an alternate for a replacement.
Seems to be very accurate, and was much easier to 'squirrel proof' than a previous one that was destroyed in a hail storm. My husband did have to make a platform to put it on, as it was too wide to set on top of fence. I would purchase this again.
This was a gift for my husband. He insisted on buying inexpensive models and was always disappointed. He is thoroughly pleased with this model. It was easy to set up, is easy to read the input, and is very accurate. This is a wonderful product and we will buy the same model for two of our family members.
Purchased April 2008. Never unpacked or installed until May 2015. Putting batteries in main unit is a pain. Lots of screws. When set up could not get the display to stop flashing zeros on and off. Called company and they had me reset. It still did not work. I know it is out of warranty but why it did not work out of the package is a puzzle. Company offered a 20 percent discount on current model. I paid $32 for this unit. New model is $79. I should have read the reviews before I purchased. My own fault for not installing right away.
I got this for my husband for Xmas and he cannot figure out how to make it work. He's read the directions over and over...it's still not working. And he's good at figuring these things out, but not this for some reason. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
