Great little station
Very happy with the station, straight forward set up (touch screen would make it even easier) look forward to seeing how it holds up in a blow.
-
Met my expectations
Great product that met my expectations. My weather station is about 65 meters away from the base unit through a glass wall. Signal strength is 3 bars (about half I think) Only down was the very short pole for mounting the unit. A bit longer would be nice. Connected to wunderground weather without any issues.
-
Great display
Easy to setup, install and get operational. The display is great, very clear and all the information needed readily visible. Having some issues with seeing the unit [on Weather Underground] on my iPad but otherwise very happy.
-
Easy As
Very easy and straight forward to install and set up. I connected to the wifi and Wunderground with no problems which is remarkable for me. It has been recording the local weather for two weeks now with no problems to date so I am looking forward hopefully to years of use.

Lived up to expectations
Reviews of the Weather Station prompted me to buy it. It has certainly lived up to the good reviews, simple installation, reliable, good data displayed on the indoor console. Highly recommend this product

My education commences
I have been researching PWS for a number of years and have decided to buy the Weather Ranger based on simple installation, the amount of info the sensors send to the internal display, the access from my MAC AND PC as well as access via the net. Price was not a major factor in my decision I however it was value for the money. I would recommend this anyone

Aercus Weather Ranger
This weather station is quite good. While it has all the major whistles n bells, I can't get the Wi-fi to talk to the Wunderground.com page? but it all works, I'v been posting the recorded wx to my facebook. Also I'm a tad bothered with the wind direction been in degrees n not in North south east or west etc as with the other ones that I'm used to... It took a while to import the Lithium rechargeable type batteries but Yep it all works :)

Good after a couple of teething problems
Overall, it appears to be a very good unit. It all seems to be working well now, but I had a few issues initially: 1.The appendix for Southern Hemisphere setup doesn't mention that the thing needs to be aligned north south. That's under the paragraph " Norther Hemisphere locations only" that I naturally, skipped on the first reading. 2. The remote device stopped talking to the display unit a couple of times in the first few days and the reset process took quite some time. At one stage, the red led on the units stayed on for a long time and I was thinking about sending the unit back. It finally resolved itself after I left the unit alone for several hours. It appears to work reliably now. 3. There doesn't appear to be a Wunder Station app for Android which would be nice. Despite the few niggles, I'm very happy with the unit. The unit can be found at IVICTORI1435.
