Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought two of these units back in 2013. One in August 13' - We have a network of weather stations for our magazine located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Im no novice having over 20 years in weather. 16 of that doing and forecasting weather on TV. We bought the Davis units because we wanted to replace a cheaper one. We've always heard Davis was quality. The unit was put in service 3500' up on a mountain so we could display valley vs mountain temps. The unit was in service about 6 months and then the rain measuring unit failed. Their tech support sent us a refurbished unit in the summer of 2014. It worked for a few months then the transmitter unit failed. It kept drawing too much current and continually ran the lithium battery down. Would only work in daylight on clear days via the onboard solar cell. After another call to tech support we were told the refurbished unit that replaced our newly bought unit here on Amazon was out of warranty and we could buy the part to fix it. Over 300 dollars but it would eventually be credited back to 102 dollars if we returned the part. We are puzzled. We paid for a new unit. It went bad. Got replaced with a used unit that lasted less than 6 months. And now were held up saying we'd have to pay over 300 dollars initially to get it fixed. No thanks Davis. You lost a customer and tons of future referrals.
