Rating : - Not worth all the trouble
I was really disappointed with this product. It was difficult to set up due to the dozens of tiny screws that have to be unscrewed and then screwed back to put in the battery and also reset the base/temperature and rain gauge mechanism. After setting it all up the first time, the base couldn't find the wireless signal from the rain gauge (which was sitting right next to it). I had to unscrew all of the screws again to reset it. It took about an hour of fiddling with it, before it finally worked. I set it up outside, but when I looked at it the next morning, the signal was again lost. Never one to give up, I spent another 40 minutes, unscrewing tiny screws, resetting individual components, etc to get it to work again. By the afternoon, the signal was once again lost. I just couldn't go through with it again...and returned it to Amazon.

A few suggestions to the manufacturers:
1. Find a way to reset the components without having to deal with dozens of tiny screws each time.
2. Put an indicator on the rain gauge - this way, even if the signal gets lost with the base, you can still look at the rain gauge itself to see how much rain you had. It's silly that this can only be known through the main base.
3. Make the wireless aspect of the wireless weather system actually work!!
