No problems here  
The rain gauge reads 1" when I drizzle 200 ml of water into the unit. I tried it three times and got a maximum spread of 0.06". After a heavy downpour the gauge registered substantially the same as my neighbors "old school" tube gauge. Not too shabby in my opinion seeing how I was wondering more about did we get an inch of rain or an inch and a half not was it 1.04" or 1.08". Lets get real. One complaint Ive seen repeated here is that getting to the batteries is a real pain because of all the tiny screws. That complaint must have reached the design team as the unit I received has only two screws. Another complaint Ive seen is that the indoor and outdoor temperature readings dont match when the outdoor sensor is placed beside the indoor unit. My answer to that is be patient. When I unpacked the unit the outdoor and indoor readings differed by 5 degrees and were both 10 degrees away from the actual indoor temperature. I put the outdoor sensor and base unit next to each other an : 2010-09-15 10:25:28

I LOVE this rain/temperature gauge  
This is a top notch product! I have had mine for over 3 years now and have only had to change the batteries in it twice. I have dropped the main unit several times and it still works perfectly. I had some difficulty getting the rain catcher level but that is because i put it on a fence post and with the weather in texas i have to re-check it several times a year. I recently purchased one for my mom. she put the rain catcher about 70 yards from the main unit. We were worried about the distance being so far - but NO works perfectly. This product is sturdy very reliable and I would highly recommend this to everyone. : 2010-09-15 10:25:28

Good product but technical flaws  
I originally bought this product in August 2009 set it up (with screwing and unscrewing way too many tiny screws) in the backyard. They linked up and worked trouble free for a year other than a few rare times it would loose the rain gauge signal when it got real cold outside-I used the batteries that came with the unit which dont work very well below 35F but any colder than that and your not measuring rain anyways as long as they dont freeze on you as soon as it warmed up some outside it would pick the signal back up. Then this past August 2010 we had a rain storm and it didnt pick up any rain-a spider had got inside despite the screens and locked the teetering rain cup in place. Also that same week I replaced the batteries on the main unit so while I was cleaning out the spider web I replaced the batteries on the rain gauge as well. As many other reviewers have noted thats when this unit seems to crap out. I tried every sequence of putting batteries in the different units and using th : 2010-09-15 10:25:28

Great Rain Guage  
I replaced a rain gauge from La Crosse Technology that was very difficult to initialize; sometimes replacing batteries would be easy and straight-forward and other times it would be extremely frustrating. Not so with the Oregon Scientific RGR126; simply follow the easily understood directions and setup is a breeze. The monitoring station has crisp clear numbers that are easy to read and the unit is compact. My only complaint and its not much of one is that the rain receiving unit is a little large; otherwise I am extremely pleased and would readily recommend this unit. : 2010-09-15 10:25:28
