Davis Vantage Vue Wireless Weather Station w/WeatherLink Console

Been using a Davis weather station for the past 30 years, but it finely quit working, so i replaced it with a Vantage Vue and I'm very happy with it. Was easy to set up and is working great so far like see if i can get other 30 years out of this one.

What can I say. USA made. The best personal weather station for beginners. Excellent response time and quality for your money

This thing is AWESOME!!! Love having REAL information as to what’s happening outside. And customer service is wonderful. Had a glitch on monitor and they sent me a replacement no charge. I love it when a company stands behind its product.

I replaced an old Vantage Pro 2 with this Vantage Vue mainly to get the new console. It was a bit shocking to see how cheaply built the Vue is for $600. That said, it was easy to mount, install and producing data. We’ll see how well it stands up to Mother Nature.

I got this to measure wind speed mainly (we’re on the edge of a dune overlooking the lake). We received it two days after it was ordered, went to Lowe’s to pick up a pole and some wood and had it mounted and reporting wind speeds about an hour after it was delivered. That night the wind picked up. The display looked great even though the wind speeds hit 60mph

I have an older version of this with the previous version of the indoor receiver/console, and I loved it. The outdoor unit is the same and has lasted well over a decade in a high desert environment (111F to -18F). My old outdoor unit is failing, so I decided to try a new package with a touch-screen "update". My unit arrived in good condition, but it was clear early on that the touch screen console was lacking in performance and quality compared to any smartphone released since the iPhone's first version. Touch interface feels and responds like something from 30 years ago or the infuriatingly slow and imprecise gas station touch screens or decades old airport check-in touchscreens. Do not expect a modern tablet or phone level of interaction. The response time was extremely slow and would lock up often (with no response to anything for a few minutes, hard resetting to get any functionality again). Buttons on the screen are not actually buttons in most cases, but expect a swipe action, which took time to discover. The firmware was not up to date and was fundamentally different than the online manual, and without WiFi to connect to the internet, a few options that I wanted were not available (this was being installed where I don't have the option for internet access): one example being the screen could not ever be turned off with the older firmware. Many things seemed lacking in the interaction, such as when being prompted to enter lat/lon information, no hint about the expected numerical format is given. Customization is limited to only select option pairings, and overall I find the new touch-screen layout to offer less information at a glance and this requires more interaction (with that terrible touch-screen) and hassle to get to the amount of information I could get to with the old fixed layout console. I did not keep this and would preference a used console vs. the new one, but if there is no change by the time I really need a new unit, I'll go with another brand. The outdoor unit remains excellent and I'd buy another one to pair with my 14 year old indoor unit.

We have had this Davis weather station for a year now, the app is easy to use and set up with the station. It is great to be able to see all the data the station supplies and now yearly comparisons. The station is a better quality than the last station we purchased, worth the extra cost. The display gives all the information you may need, it’s nice that the display goes to sleep and quickly wakes back up when needed.

Everything went together per instructions. Make sure to download the weatherlink user guide.
