Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station

Knowing what kind of weather to expect is really key in being dressed properly and not be surprised by sudden weather changes, especially when there are important events held outdoors. And depending on the daily weather report usually is not as specific as to the location. As such, more people are looking into buying their personal weather stations. Unfortunately, many of these products turn up inaccurate. So far, though, the Davis brand of instruments is well-known for coming in high quality, and the company’s flagship Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station Wireless projection scale is top-notch in accuracy.

The Davis Vantage Pro2 Wireless uses frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology to send data wirelessly up to 1,000 feet away. It also updates data every 2.5 seconds. It comes with a base and an integrated sensor suite that includes a rain collector, humidity and temperature sensors, and an anemometer with a 40-feet cable and solar panel. The sensor suite runs on solar power whereas the base console runs on three C batteries or plugged into the included AC power adapter. These options make it the ideal choice since you can use it plugged into your house power as well as being powered by batteries in case of power failure.

Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station Wireless projection scale Review:

The customers who have bought this product rated it 4.0 stars. They were very happy with it and enjoyed how it was possible to get accurate readings from a device that could be brought around. Some users also liked how it could retain past data and graphically showed the last 24 hours performance of most weather variables. Another customer shared how he had owned a Davis product which always performed better than other brands. Although they admitted that the product was much more expensive compared to other wireless stations with the semi-professional feel, it was still considered the best thing to buy.

One user had a problematic unit that was stuck to a weather forecast of “Partly Cloudy.” He accepted it as a result of the forecast icon not being as sensitive to barometric changes, since that was a common error among other devices, forecasting a rainstorm simply from a nighttime drop in barometric pressure.

All in all, nearly all the customer reviewers highly recommend the Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station Wireless projection scale for accurate weather information right at your fingertips. You will enjoy reading the weather data right off your home, and may even perhaps show it off to your neighbors!
