Pros & Cons
Pros
Included in the box were the date and atomic time, as well as moon phases. Almost everything was included for mounting. I am absolutely * smacked and relieved that this company has seen fit to fix the problem this way.
Run usb cable horizontally from the top of the recieving panel at least a foot before dropping verticle to reduce any potential rfi from the cable. I wound up placing it on my roof, about 15 feet from the main unit, and that solved the problem. These ... Read More
The battery replacement for the temp sensor takes about 30 seconds. This was probably done to conserve battery usage. Lithium batteries for all outdoor sensors.
Cons
Even the dedicated outside thermometer no longer shows up. The anemometer drops off after an hour or so and if i do nothing, the rest of the sensors drop off too. The rain gauge is now not working without a reset every couple of days. The humidity sen... Read More
Interacting with the unit is also clunkier than my old station. There may be many units out there which have been operating flawlessly for longer than mine. Ended up returning the unit within the 30 day unconditional satisfaction guaranty period.
The console display has poor contrast. The touch screen feature has a plastic coating on the display that makes it fuzzy and hard to read. There is only a 125 foot seperatiorn between the base unit and remote unit and the only obstruction is one exter... Read More
The setup seems more of a toy than a professional setup.
The cumulus site says it'll work, though sounds like it may not be the ideal source. I was totally dissatisfied.
Highlights
Quality
It really is an excellent weather station is durable and is very accurate
Mount wind sensor up in the clear with as good line of site as possible to the recieving panel
After installation the wind sensor rf connection fell off twice
Place temphumidity sensor on its own in an area that doesnt recieve any direct sunlight and will not be prone to picking up hea... Read More
Price
All in all it is great weather station for a reasonable cost
Try a davis fan aspirated unit on 900 mhz in the range of 700 bucks
The other reason i bought two of these is the priceive paid around 250 each for my last two systems over the past 16 years and ... Read More
Two hundred and thirty dollars is expensive
Shipping
Unit was shipped promptly and received 1 day ahead of expected
Yes i read the manuals and spent a week on the net forums while waiting for it to arrive to ensure i knew of any issues before it got here
We sent it in for rma and another is coming
First off using amazon prime the package arrived via fedex in two days and was shipped very appropriately from oregon
Packaging/appearance
Great item perfect packed thanks aaa
Competitiveness
I compared to another rain gauge and it was very accurate as well as correlating well in both temperature and humidity
I figured that by going with the best dealer it could head off some of the problems other viewers had and i think i was right
Update 92209 we now seem to be getting high battery usage on the anemometer and you guessed it oregon scientific is giving me t... Read More
I picked the wmr200 because it seemed the more modern of all the brands out there that was present early aug 2009

Definitely not known for its longevity though now cheap enough for me to buy two new systems so ill have replacement parts available when others fail

The other reason i bought two of these is the priceive paid around 250 each for my last two systems over the past 16 years and at 99 its obviously not going to be around for much longer

The davis is more accurate and it should be for the 500 it would take to put its data on the internet
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I understand davis longevity is about the same and for me its cost doesnt justify the expense
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Started relaying data to wuhu software installed on pc and weather underground and other services monitoring my weather station
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I still have not had to change the batteries on any of the external sensors
