 Very good product January 14, 2008

I have purchased three Oregon Scientific rain gauges, all are different models. The first I purchased three years ago as a gift for my son. I liked it so well I purchased one for myself. I purchased a third this Christmas for a friend who admired mine. I recommend them highly.

This was a gift for my husband. He insisted on buying inexpensive models and was always disappointed. He is thoroughly pleased with this model. It was easy to set up, is easy to read the input, and is very accurate. This is a wonderful product and we will buy the same model for two of our family members.

Very easy to set up. Also very accurate readings. Matches my manual dump guage perfectly. Yes there are a lot of screws to remove to install the battery. Wasn't a big deal to me though. I'd recommend this product to anyone!
 screwed up May 31, 2008

as noted by others, the screws are a real issue on this item. I liked everything else I read about it, so I bought it, but no matter what I did, I could NOT get the screws to unscrew and provide me with access to the battery compartment. they had evidently been stripped when the unit was assembled. while it may otherwise be a fine product, I'll not waste my time gambling on receiving a unit that is properly assembled.

It worked for a few weeks. Now, it no longer computes rainfall and I can't get the Total and Current display to stop blinking. I looked all through the booklet but nothing mentions my problem. I've E-Mailed the company and they had me pull the batteries, let it sit for a day and reinsert the batteries. I let it sit for two days, put in new batteries and still can't get it to work. I'm now waiting on a reply (takes about a week to get replies). I figured I'd spend additional money to get a good one - BIG MISTAKE!
UPDATE: They had me "reset" the unit. It worked. Unfortunately, we went through a dry spell. It just rained and guess what? It no longer works. To reset the unit AGAIN means pulling the cover, removing a bunch of screws, battery and hitting the reset button. But why do that - it will just stop working again. I sent a message back to the company. Let's see if they do the right thing. I will keep everyone informed.
UPDATE [September 6, 2008] - They replied with another question and haven't replied since August 28, 2008.
UPDATE [September 19, 2008] - Just got their reply (from August 28). They want me to go through the reset process again! I informed them that they win - I give up. Not once did they offer to provide a replacement or discount - super company!
