Doesnt stay lit. Even plugged in it only stays on for afew seconds. The wind speed is really off. I'm about 10 seconds from throwing it in the trash. DO NOT BUY! Its junk!

The wind speed, anometer doesn't work and to get a replacement has been fruitless. advise not buying this one

I ordered the Weather Station Wireless as a replacement for my existing, limited-function weather station. Everything to monitor the outside environment is installed on the compact Unit. I only needed to attach a couple of components to have it ready to go outside. The Indoor screen is large and can use batteries, but I prefer household electricity. Lots of info is reported, with constant updates. The recorded rainfall is reset nightly. I have seen trace rainfall of 0.06 inches and observed a 1 mph breeze. I compared what I could with my old Weather Station, and this system has similar readings. What's missing is the ability to display the current day's high and low temperatures. I do miss that statistic, which still requires me to use my old system. The solar screen is approximately 2.75" by 2.75". I found that solar charging is ineffective because tall trees, overcast days, and shorter daylight hours surround me. I choose to use AA batteries, but this presents a challenge for replacement because the Weather Station is high, and a ladder is needed to reach them. Mounting the Weather Station outdoors became a hassle and a challenge. I wanted to mount the weather station on top of a chain-link fence, but the included parts are too small to fit the fence's top horizontal pole. A trip to a hardware store had me coming home with a 12" pole extension and a T-clamp to mount on the top rail. I needed help with this, so my handyman came to the rescue. The fence adapter on the Weather Station was hacksawed off, allowing it to be slid over the pole extension. A bit of drilling was needed to start the self-tapping screws to secure the two pieces together. A couple more self-tapping screws were added to insert the pole extension into the T-clamp after finding North.

This review is for the Weather Station Wireless Indoor Outdoor Sensor etc... seller is Timloon. This would be a very good weather station at a great price if all of the functions worked properly. The color display is attractive and bright, easy to read. The rainfall indicator works real well and appears to be accurate. We had three days of rain here and I watched the rainfall indicator measure the amount of rain as it came down from the sky. I really like the many functions this station is capable of, such as humidity, temperature, indoors and out. Barometric pressure with the ability to record trends, as well as a memory function that records previous pressures for three days. It illustrates the different stages of the moon, it has a radio controlled clock that syncs daily to Greenwich Mean Time, and more. The problem I'm having is that the an anemometer simply does not work, no matter how fast the rotor spins. I even tried turning it with my leaf blower, but nada, nothing. On top of that, The wind direction indicator is 180 degrees out of sync. Now the instructions are clear that the station must point north, and there is an arrow on top of the station that is used to point to the north, making it simple to set the station in the right direction. I definitely took out my compass and set the station to point north but the wind direction readout is180 degrees off. I turned the station 180 degrees and pointed it to the south and it works just fine as far as the wind direction is concerned, but hey, it's pointing south, not north. If the anemometer worked and the wind vane had a correct readout, this would be a great value and a five star. If anything changes, or it starts to work properly, I will certainly update this review.
