The La Crosse Technology EA-3010U Handheld Anemometer broke as soon as I took it out of the box. A blade came off the rotor and the magnetic wheel shattered, rendering the thing useless before I'd taken a single reading. Truly a piece of junk.

I did not look at the dimensions close enough, the unit is small. I was able to do the job with the instrument and the numbers seemed correct. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Je suis extrêmement satisfaite de mon anomètre...Il est toujours plaisant d'acheter chez Amazon.com,,,le shipping is very fast,,,it's easy to follow the parcel and the quality of the product is A+..

This was something my wife mentioned she would like to have because of where we live... it is forever windy here and she thought it would be handy, and it is. Easy to use right out of the box.

As a trained advanced weather spotter, it was recommended that I get an anemometer. This unit is easy to use but I haven't had to use it to measure severe weather conditions. I'm not crazy about button cell batteries, but that is he trade-off to keep the unit small and light. Fortunately, it does use a common CR2032 3V battery.

Excellent Seller. This product arrived in 2 days with no special shipping. Packaging was great. Automatic rain gage dump. It's a bit smaller than it looks in the photos so don't be shocked.

I am pleased with this weather station. The installation process went well. There were different size miniature bolts and screws. The directions did not call out the differences so I used the wrong ones. But it was a simple fix. If you watch what you are doing and note the different sizes, you may be able to avoid this small problem. The transmitter range is good. I like having inside and outside temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall totals, atmospheric barometric pressure, time and date at my fingertips. The inside display is visual well designed. It is also easily reprogrammed. It uses a touch screen and the process is intuitive. For example, the initial setup showed rainfall totals per hour. But my preference is rainfall totals over a 24 hour period. Touch rain on the controller and a "+" button appears on the screen. Touch it and the change was easily made.

I've had my ProWeatherStation for over a month now. It comes in a very well designed box with everything needed to get the station up and running, except five AA size batteries. The assembly/setup and software installation was straight forward following the enclosed instructions. The [...] web site has the instructions and data sheet available for on line viewing (select - product - then "quick install guide" or "data sheet" I feel the build quality of the station is very good. I did have a problem with the station I received (it would randomly drop some outside sensor data) . Dealing with Tycon Power's (seller) costumer service/tech support was a very positive experiance, all done via E mail. It appeared that they (cs/ts) didn't have any other problems to resolve but mine. Cumulus (donationware) from [...] can be used with the ProWeatherStation if you want to upload your data to the internet. (the included software does not have the internet feature) A quality product with outstanding support at a good price. ProWeatherStation Wireless Data Logging Weather Station

Purchased for measuring the face velocity of laboratory fume hoods. The minimum airspeed of 80 f/m seems true. Measuring the temperature of the air at the same time has helped me win arguments with an HVAC tech that did not want to repair a faulty room air conditioner. Just because an infrared "touchless" thermometer says the coils are cold enough, I doesn't mean there is enough airflow to make it matter!

I bought this to balance the A/C ducts in my home. I was quite surprised at how bad the system was designed with small rooms receiving high CFM's and large rooms with very little. This tool does a nice job in calculating the CFM based on the measured duct opening. It reads the airspeed then uses the duct dimensions to display CFM. As a bonus the thing does IR temperature readings as well but my primary application was CFM measurement and this it does well. Easy to use with big bright display that is backlighted at the touch of a button. Great tool at a decent price compared to others on the market. It came with a very nice case that also holds the instruction book.

I got this meter and so far it seems to work well, you do have to follow the instructions very closely to work it. Great for my uses.

I bought this unit for use as a portable thermometer and dew point meter with reasonable accuracy. I is self contained, reasonably accurate, and measures temperature, dew point, relative, humidity, wet bulb temperature, and wind/air speed. I heartily reccomend it for anyone that needs a quick, simple method for measuring any on the above.

This is the product I chose for a quick-and-dirty checkout of a house duct system. It is more accurate than an IR thermometer and provides the air flow data to determine if there is a duct problem. I am pleased with the product and hope that it lasts quite awhile.

The instruction "page" is difficult to figure out exactly how to use this device. After trial and error, it is working as described. I'm not happy with the slow response to wind changes but I guess I don't need to know the wind chaging from 3mph to 3.5mph as fast as I thought.

This thermo-anemometer gave surprisingly accurate relative humidity readings. However, it's impossible to get it to provide temperature readings as well. Additionally, the 'slide-in-slide-out' feature leaves some pretty nasty scratches on the unit during field use.

If you tune by 'density altitude' or 'relative air density' this unit does the job. I am amazed at how many features are packed into this little unit. It does trending and has user programmable screens. The unit is rugged but not indestructible. My original got sucked into a squirrel cage cooling fan on the dyno with predictable results. I sent it back to Kestrel thinking it was a goner. It was but Kestrel offered a great deal on a replacement unit. Good repeatable data, solid customer service.

The 45118 is a handheld aenemometer that is lightweight and easy to use. It weighs ounces and flips out to extend as seen in the picture. It requires two hands to extend. The display is adequate, however I have a couple of concerns. First, it is not backlit. This can be very frustrating, but the LCD's show up nicely under outside illumination. Second, the temperature display is markedly smaller than the windspeed and there is no way to alternate or change this. The Extech functions fine. It gives an almost immediate readout on both windspeed and ambient temp. Although it attempts to change second-by-second, often there is what seems to be a slight compensatory lag. All in all, it is a fine tool.

An excellent reference. This text provides a comprehensive review of the subject, stressing the theory and limitations of operations. Sometimes it reads like the cart is beore the horse, but with a little patience everything becomes clear.
