Review: Great features and easy to install - I bought this to replace an old LaCrosse "weather station" that the outside sensor finally stopped working on. Granted it was probably 10 years old so it had definitely proved it's worth. I did a fair bit of research before deciding on this model as I was concerned about the size of the sensor unit and unsure what would be the best mounting option. I can happily report that the overall size of the outdoor unit isn't as big as I was expecting so it's certainly not intrusive looking. I also wasn't about to get anything that required mounting 30 feet off the ground! First I really don't have a place in my yard that would work for that kind of mounting and I wasn't about to start installing a separate mounting pole anywhere. Not to mention the concerns for general maintenance of the outdoor unit if it was mounted somewhere totally out of reach. I do have a 10 X 12 deck attached to my house so I mounted the outdoor sensor on the deck post that was at the farthest corner with the most open area away from the house and it works great! Due to the construction of the house it just happens that the mounting spot is on a northern exposure area. I have a good sized but not huge back yard and I do live in town so there's really no place with a totally unobstructed mounting place since there are other buildings and trees within 50 feet. The total height off the ground is maybe 6 feet max but that's not affecting the accuracy at all. Overall installation was a breeze. It maybe took 10 to 15 minutes total to put it together, mount the outdoor unit and plug in the indoor display. No muss no fuss, it started working immediately! Super impressed by the ease of set up! The "feels like" and wind chill readings are spot on with what the weather service reports for my area and those are the readings I was most intrigued by. I live in a northern climate where wind chill is a big deal in the winter. The temp reading is extremely accurate. The only precipitation we've had since I installed it are snow and sleet and I have't been super diligent about cleaning out the rainwater collection bin so I can't really say how accurate it is yet but it has given me a reading of total rainfall so I'm assuming it's working fine. The only real suggestion I have for the indoor display is to consider wall mounting it. The base isn't super sturdy and mine fell off the counter causing a corner of the display that fits in the slot of the counter base to break off. The piece that broke is clear so it's not an issue looks wise and the fall didn't affect the performance at all so I'm not knocking any stars off the review but please do be aware that the counter top may not be the best mounting option if you have kids or pets that could knock it off.
Review: Works as advertised! - I put this weather station up last year (mounted it on a galvanized pipe) and it's held up very well. It's pretty accurate and closely matches numbers the weather service puts up. (Actually, I think it's more accurate since it's AT my house instead of NEAR it.) It's held up in gale-force winds, cold, snow, hailstorms, hot summers. They recommend putting in lithium instead of alkaline batteries, though, esp. if your weather gets extreme at either end of the scale, and I did that. The console is attractive, informative, and easy to read. However, the viewing angle is shallow; if you're sitting down or to one side or another, you typically can't read the screen. Aside from that nit, though, it's been a real champ. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ All about sensor placement
*by T***R on February 21, 2021*

I got it set up it's pretty nice but too bad there is no app with this unit. After I had it set up I kind of wished I had a Wi-Fi unit with app connectivity. I used my own mounting setup for the sensor station. You need 3/4 in pipe. I used black galvanized steel and a rail support, steel tek 684-304HC (962239). Note you need a brace, I used a copper pipe hanger. You cannot use PVC as the sensor will wobble. The display unit, they want you to keep it plugged in and use the batteries for backup. As soon as it loses power, all settings are lost. I would probably spend more and get a Wi-Fi unit next time but I'll run with this for awhile. Have the base unit next to my bed.
