Bought this rain gauge a few weeks ago. Mounted the sending unit next to my glass rain gauge. After our first rain, both the mechanical and new La Crosse gauges were identical. In the instructions it says to remove the battery to clear the 24 hr reading. When I did that I would loose the signal from the sending unit and have to go through the setup again. I found out that if you only reset the top display the 24 hr will re-zero in 24 hrs. Works for me. Love mine and the price is really reasonable to not have to empty after each rain. I would recommend this to anyone interested in a simple, inexpensive rain gauge.

This worked okay for about a year, but now it's stopped registering rainfall. I think the plastic arm inside has gotten gummed up.

I'm impressed with how well this inexpensive unit seems to work. I think the way it handles the 24 hour measurement could be more flexible - can't set it to mean in the last calendar day for example. The wireless range has been good and it is clear and easy to use.
