I’ve owned Accurite models for years and have gone through 4 because they just stop working after a couple years or so. I thought about getting the AcuRite Atlas but after seeing a few bad reports on them I was afraid of throwing money down the drain yet again so I bit the bullet (felt like a solid gold bullet due to the price) and got the Davis VantagePro2 with the 24-hour fan aspirated radiation shield this morning.
I’m impressed with their accuracy and can’t wait to have 99.9% accurate readings from my back yard. The only thing that won’t be completely accurate will be wind readings since there are lots of trees within 50’-100’ of the most open area but I can live with that since even then it should still be close.
I can’t wait until it comes in and I get it all set up & on Wunderground. I don’t think there are many other Davis stations around me so it should be interesting to see the differences in nearby readings.
Who else owns one of these and how do you like it?
