Unit didn't work when I received it. Called La Crosse Tech Support, they had me sent it to them for repair! It was returned to me within a week. Everything worked but the wind speed cups we broken during shipment. Again I called La Croose Tech Support and I received new wind speed cups in three days. The product now works flawless. The Tech Support at La Croose is the best I've worked with in years.
I would purchase a La Croose product again!

Worked great for almost 3 years. Gave it as a gift at Christmas 2010. Now it has started failing functionally. Keeping it going for the wind gauge/numbers bc we live in a windy area but the temperature sensor is no longer functioning, so no outside temp etc(replacing with new batteries does not matter). Will be looking for a different weather station to replace it. Hate watching it die a slow death- was hoping to get more than 3 years for the investment.

I almost didn't buy this unit after reading the reviews. So many users seem to have big problems setting this up. It was EASY! Just pay close attention that the batteries are as reccomended in the instructions, must be dated many years ahead, READ the instructions! Allow the units to communicate on a table, mine only took a few minutes, your good to go. We've been using this weather station since Christmas, no problems at all. It's fun and interesting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Customer Service from LaCrosse Technology
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2011
Verified Purchase
In March 2011, I puchased and installed the LaCrosse Technology WS-1516-IT Professional Weather Center. The system was working perfectly until May 30th. Then all outdoor readings (wind speed, outside temp, humidity) stopped receiving. I immediately changed ALL batteries with new, fresh batteries. From that point on, I have not been able to get the Weather Station to work. I went through all troubleshooting as recomended in the manual, to no avail.
I then sent an email on 5/31/2011 to LaCrosse Customer Support. That same day I received a response advising that their support staff will make every effort to answer in a timely manner.
On June 2nd I received a 7 page email with a number of suggestions to resolve the problem.
I did exactly as the email suggested as it pertained to the specific model I own. Again, it was still not working.
I went back and did a reinstall of all the componenents and tried to restart again. Not working.
On June 13th I wrote back to LaCrosse Customer support to advise them of the same continuous problem.
I did not hear back so today, June 26th I wrote back to LaCrosse and am hopefully going to hear from them.
I paid a decent amount of money for this "PROFESSIONAL" Weather Center.
I very disappointed with the lack of response from this company and will definitely NOT buy another LaCrosse product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2012

I decided that I wanted to replace my 7 year old LaCrosse after the outdoor sensor quit transmitting. This model caught my attention because of past experiences with LaCrosse and this model had a couple of features I didn't have before, anemometer and rain gauge. I does not have an atomic clock but it's a small trade off.

After reading the reviews here on Amazon I started wondering if I was getting some flimsy toy. I don't know why everyone complains about setting this up because it's pretty straightforward. The wind gauge is a little tricky for one person and I would recommend another set of hands since you'll be mounting that mast about 10' off the ground while trying to align, drill and fasten the mast. I'm still waiting to test the rain gauge and by week's end I'll get a chance.

Overall this is a very good weather station for people who need to keep their "eye on the sky" (farmers. watermen, boaters, etc.). This isn't a professional unit like a Davis but it will give you a good snapshot of current conditions and a look at what weather might be heading your way.

We've had other weather stations and they just didn't last... My husband is an avid weather watcher, when I purchased this for him, he was, to say the least, extremely pleased. The next day it was completely up and working.
Thank you for having the best price in the market. Since we bought it, 2 of my family members have bought one.
If you love to track or watch the weather, this is the weather station for you.
Thank you once again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the last one I had
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2009

This works better than the last LaCrosse I had, had to throw it away, it was useless. This one works a lot better, but it has a lag in the wind speed, everything else seem to work good. If you're looking for a station that gives you instantaneous wind speed, look elswhere, this one gives you a readout about every 20 seconds and averages it out, can't record gusts.
