Customer Reviews on this Product
Tim
(04/08/2009)
After much reading up on this subject, I bought one of the WH1081 weather stations. It cost a few pounds more than what I wanted to pay, but I am greatly pleased that I did.
The system does more than any other weather station(as far as I can tell). You would have to spend about another 150 pounds to get all of the features.
It is simple to set up, it took me less than 15 minuits.
The software to download the data to your computer is easy to set up and the results are quite impressive.
I have gone on further (using a free sofware download) to post the results to the internet in my own website showing the data for all to view.
This was a little more tricky to do, but it is amazing that this weater station can still do it in the first place.
If I had to pick any faults with it, it would be that that back light only stays on for about 10 seconds with no adjustment and that it will not stand upright on a bookcase with out been leant against somthing.
If that is all I can find at fault, then that means that I am very happy to have made the purchase.
Overall rating for the money 10/10
Overall rating for the design 9.9/10
Overall raqting for the functions 9.5/10
