Amazon.com Review
Checking the plastic rain gauge oftentimes means a trip out to the garden, in the rain, and then a lot of record keeping. A great way to stay abreast of the garden's irrigation needs without getting wet, Oregon Scientific's wireless, remote rain gauge features a self-emptying rain cup that measures and then dumps collected rainfall. Nine-day memory and indoor/outdoor temperature readings help monitor precipitation and weather patterns over time. An automatic a wireless transmission range of up to 300 feet with the rain gauge and up to 100 feet for the thermometer means a lot less back-and-forth. The unit displays daily readings, 9-day histories, and total rainfall records. Rainfall measurements are shown in inches or millimeters. The gauge also features a high rainfall alarm, comes with two AA batteries for the gauge and two AAA batteries for the sensor. i--Brian Olson/i

1 out of 5 stars Very Unhappy   January 5, 2009
First, installing the batteries is a joke, as others have mentioned. Why is this not a snap-door installation? 12 screws to put batteries in the rain bucket? Come on...br /br /After I got past that, the indoor and outdoor thermometers were 8-10F different after sitting on my kitchen table all day. I put the outdoor probe outside and it was consistently 8-10F different from my other unit, and the local NWS readings. I called the manufacturer, and they could have cared less.br /br /Amazon was great though. They refunded my money including shipping with no complaints. Recommend Amazon, do not recommend Oregon Scientific...


4 out of 5 stars No Problems   December 16, 2008
Works well. Four stars because it is a pain to replace the batteries in the Rain gauge.


2 out of 5 stars Great...for a few months   November 13, 2008

Worked great for a few months, then the rain guage slowly quit connecting with the base...constantly had to push the search button. I'm not sure why we even still have the thing other than I hate throwing that much money in the trash. The outside temp guage did not last long in the outdoors weather. It quit working all together after about 5 months. The rain guage ONLY works now when pushing the search button. I'll be buying a new one for Christmas for my husband, but not from this company!


1 out of 5 stars Very disappointed   November 11, 2008

I purchased Oregon Scientific "long range" rain gauge in October. The product description states a 300-ft transmitting range. I placed my rain gauge in the backyard with the receiver in the house no more than 30-feet away (and by a window, too!). In less than an hour the receiver no longer was getting the signal. This was after using brand new Energizer Max batteries, instead of the cheap ones provided. I tried re-booting the transmitter and receiver with them sitting next to each other (a minor annoyance having to remove the EIGHT screws to get to the batteries). The connection was quickly restored, so I returned the rain gauge back to its place outside. The receiver continued to maintain contact for about 35 minutes, but then lost it again. I am extremely unhappy with my purchase.


5 out of 5 stars We love it!   November 5, 2008
We have not had one problem with ours. I'm so surprised so many people have had trouble. Ours is set up with the rain gauge outside on a post of the deck, the monitor in the kitchen and the transmitter halfway in between on the screened porch. We've had it almost one year and ...well, we live in North Georgia so we haven't nearly enough rain to fill up Lake Lanier. But this gauge has kept a very accurate account of what we have gotten. My husband still keeps the old glass tube and compares them to see if the new one is accurate and it appears to work fine!
