I'm very please with the performance of this 3 piece unit after 6 months of use. The temperture gauge works well, just be sure to place it in a area that avoids direct sunlight. The rain meter is the real gem in the package, accurately reading to the 1/100th of an inch. Do be aware there is a delay in the radio transmition, meaning that you may see heavy rainfall with nothing happening with the meter. It updates about every few minutes. It's interesting to compare what you thought you were getting to what you actually received (like on those drizzly days you thought you must have gotten inches, only to get 3/10ths).

A 5 star product must: 1) do what's advertised; 2) meet expections for quality, reliability and appearance; and 3) be priced reasonably. It does all three, and is probably worth more than the price paid!

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-7047U Wireless Rain and Temperature Gauge (Kitchen)

This is one of the best wireless rain guages that I have found. I have tried two other wireless rain gauges and had to return both. The indoor/outdoor temperature guage is a bonus. The wireless rain gauge alone is worth the price. Setup is extremely easy. The main unit picked-up the sensor signals within 10 minutes of installing the batteries in the right sequence. Will be buying a few of these units for gifts.

This rain guage is fantastic. It was easy to set up, and appears to be very accurate. I have never rated a product online before, but I highly recommend this product.
