Davis Anemometer f/Vantage Pro2 & Vantage Pro®

A strong winter storm blew my weather station over when a guy wire failed. The anemometer would still give readings at higher speeds, but stopped giving readings at low wind speeds as if there was resistance on the shaft or bearings. I wasn't comfortable with the accuracy of my readings because of this, so I replaced the anemometer. The installation of the replacement was quick and easy, and it works perfectly. Davis builds great weather stations.

This is a replacement for my 25 year old Davis weather vantage station, you may pay more for a Davis station but in the long run your way money ahead !Quality durable and reliable with normal mantance can't be beat .

The product was as advertised and the delivery time was good. Price was competitive

I needed a replacement anemometer/wind vane for my original Davis unit that had been in service about 8 years. The old one was beginning to read low for wind speed - I finally decided to replace it when I saw it was barely turning in what I estimated was a 10 mph wind. This was a plug-and-play replacement. Much better results now.

I have one a Davis weather station for 6 years. The only reason I had to replace the anemometer was due to a direct lightning strike. Burned up the electrical parts in the old one and fried the ISS transmitter. Replacement anemometer is the same great quality. I like that Davis has designed this version of anemometer with a replaceable bearing cartridge. So instead of having to replace the entire anemometer if the bearing goes bad, you just switch the cartridge out and you are back in business for around 20 bucks. If you want great quality weather data, Davis is a sound choice.

I didn't hook our anemometer/vane to any electronic device, because I don't care how manymiles per hour it is blowing--a pocket anemometer can do that. From our dining room I can seewhich way the wind is blowing, and the spinning cups tell me if it is blowing "a lot" or "just a tinybit". It is a beautifully constructed device that looks stunning on our deck, was very easy to assembleand a pleasure to peruse every time I walk past.

Noticed this winter that our anemometer was struggling to provide wind speeds so I ordered a replacement once the weather improved. This is our third anemometer in 17 years of operation. First lasted 10 years. Second lasted 7 years. Upon inspection, I probably didn't need to order this one. The old one was kinda gummed up and I think I could have cleaned it with alcohol and got it working again. However, changing out is an ordeal as the pole is 20-something feet high so if I'm going through the hassle, I might as well replace it. I think Davis does a great job for the length of time I've owned the product. I've replaced the rain gauge and the solar cover as well.

So whaddya gonna do?
