Davis 6351 VantageVue Wireless Console/Receiver

This unit will last forever and has all the features you can ask for.

I bought this unit as a secondary display for my Vantage Pro II system. The overall quality of the unit is very good as with all Davis equipment. The console is actually much more stable when sitting on a desk or other flat surface than the Pro II display and the console style keyboard makes it actually easier to use. I have always been somewhat suspect of plastic film pushbuttons, which this unit has, but not a problem at this point. Time will tell. The information displayed on this is somewhat different than the Pro II, and the weather center feature takes a little getting used to and maybe not as useful as I would like but I am still playing with it and that opinion may change with time. One feature I miss with this as opposed to the Pro II is a Rainstorm total which monitors and records rainfall total over a period of time as long as there is not a 24 hour gap between rain events. The one other thing it lacks as opposed to the Pro II is an indication to give the increments shown on the graph. Overall this is a very nice unit whether purchased separately as I did or as part of the Vantage Vue system.

has replaced a brand we have had nothing but issues with, Davis is the brand to buy

I like this weather machine. It is very good machine. I count on it during bad weather.

Best meteo station. Rich of features and very relaible

Davis weather station has been up and working for a month now and so far no problems. It's been accurate so no complaints about that. Installation was not hard but to get better results you need to follow the setup instructions carefully.Instructions are clear and easy to follow so that helps. Since this is more precise than less expensive stations setup is more important. Only negative is price, but it is better constructed than other weather stations I have had. Hopefully it will also hold up longer. Previous ones I had tended to fail after a couple of years. Also made in USA if that matters.

Needed to add another console for our Davis Vantage Vue weather station. Not cheap, but does the job. I sits on the table near where I work. No problems with reception or display of data. A bit crowded, but all of the weather consoles seem to be that way.

I have two of these consoles. I just replaced one of them - after 13 years of continuous, reliable service, it konked out. My other unit is still going strong. Buying it through Amazon is significantly less expensive than getting it directly from Davis Instruments. BTW: Davis Instruments has great customer service.
