Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Exceptional as a gift, this professional wireless weather station is a meteorologist’s dream. The stylish main base unit, with built-in desk stand and hanging notch, receives and simultaneously displays data (in metric or U.S.) from the included four remote sensors, three of which are solar-powered with rechargeable lithium battery backup for measuring wind, rain, and outdoor temperature and humidity. The fourth sensor measures indoor temperature, humidity, and air pressure. Symbolic display of forecasts, graphical display of air pressure changes over the last 24 hours, and storing of minimum and maximum measured values for all sensors are just a few of the options shown on the base unit. Up to 39 alarms may be programmed for frost warnings, storm warnings, etc. Boaters or retired sailors will appreciate the ability to check wind speed in miles per hour, knots, meters per second, kilometers per hour, Beaufort scale, or wind direction in a 5° resolution instead of wind speed. Gardeners can keep track of rainfall for the previous hour, previous 24 hours, and total amount since the last reset. Hardware is included for mounting the various sensors. La Crosse weather instruments are automatically calibrated daily to the atomic time standard of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, via radio station WWVB in Colorado. This weather station is covered by a one-year warranty, excluding interference problems. Six AA batteries are required.--Ann Bieri

Great.,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-2010 Professional Wireless Weather Station (Kitchen)
I had this station for 2 days now. I will try to review it as accurate as I can.Cons: 1- Cannot download any data into a computer 2- Since (1) is true, the only data that is displayed is the last reading for all sensors, in addition to the min/max for all the sensors (except the rain gauge) since they were last reset. 3- Initial setup is somewhat complicated especially with very little instructions. 4- Initial setup takes sometime 5- The outdoor temperature sensor is supposed to be in the shade, yet it is also supposed to be facing southward so it could collect light that is needed for its solar panel (this is what the instructions say!!!!) 6- the buttons on the unit are hard to press (but you will not be using them a lot) Pros: 1- Wireless distance seems to be accurate ~300ft 2- All the equipment seems to be as good as the ones I saw when I set up a $3000 weather station for a university research project. 3- you can add more sensor as you start needing them (if you need to check the micro climates for example) 4- I have not explored the alarm function yet, but it looks real good with many options. I will update the review once I explore that. Summery: If you do not need weather station that logs data of a certain interval (every minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) , and do not care for or want to be able to download any data for analysis into a weather program (on your computer) then this weather station is fabulous. It has everything, it might take a bit of time to set it up but it is worth it. I hope this will help you all who are looking at this weather station. Layth

Pretty Good overall,
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-2010 Professional Wireless Weather Station (Kitchen)
I bought this for my father who lives on the Outer Banks. It has been up and running trouble free for nearly 2 years. I set it up for him and thought that part was fairly simple. You will need a level and a compass and knowledge of the degree of declination between true and magnetic north for your region. The only problems we have had is, blackbirds like to think the rain gauge is their personal potty. We fixed this by putting a flimsy wire over the bucket.The up side: a fairly accurate reliable weather station at a low price. The down side: if you want to know how fast that last gust of wind was, this unit won't do it. It takes readings periodically so you only get a reading every so many minutes. If you want real time readings you can't go wireless without dropping some serious money. All things being equal he likes it, I like it, and it has survived 2 years of salt air environment and 2 hurricanes so, it aint too shabby.

Batteries not replaceable,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-2010 Professional Wireless Weather Station (Kitchen)
I have a WS 2010 weather station that the coin batteries in the instruments have died after three years service. The same thing was reported by Gary Woltkamp. When purchising a weather station you want to make sure the batteries are a replaceable item.
