Anemometer query

Not totally convinced the anemometer is working correctly. Recordings seem on low side.

Great Upgrade

Updated my 15 year old Vantage Vue weather station to the new version. The console is a game changer with many cool features. A couple of initial set up issues mostly because I didn’t follow instructions but working to how I wanted it. Jacquie in their support team is awesome

Improved Weatherlink Console has a few drawbacks

I bought this console as part of the package to replace the 12 years old Vantage Vue which had reached the end of its life. The new console is an improvement on the old one in many respects, being easy on the eye and configurable. But I miss the clear black and white of the old one, and I have not yet found out how to use the touch screen to show the rainfall and temperature over the last few days, as I used to be able to using the keys on the old one.

I purchased the updated model to replace an older 6240 version and have been very impressed with the improved facilities provided by this newer model. The print size can be a bit small for older eyes but so far, so good.

Well recommended

I found it very easy to set up Definately would recommend it.

Davis Weatherstation

Very impressed from the quality of the packaging - like Apple quality packaging - and the quality of the instrument itself. Very clear instructions and the instrument was installed and working without a hitch. The retailers customer service representative (Jacquie) was exceptionally helpful. Great functionality from the instrument and console. Very happy.

Superb quality weather station.

After the Vantage Pro 2, which has lasted over20 years this is a great alternative for the keen weather geek, the new console is superb, definitely top class of the available weather stations

Impressive tool!

Yeah it's an improvement on the older lcd screen model and with the app much more user friendly without the need for computers and software etc! Lots of negative reviews on the Internet about these but I would disagree. For normal use it's great!

Good experience so far with this advanced weather station

Review after about 3 weeks. Well constructed product, installation went perfectly once instructions read, all working as expected. Weatherlink account setup and app installation very easy. Had to download instructions for the console, could not find it in box along with sensor manual.

James M.
Once set up it has worked very well.

The unit was fairly difficult to set up as the instructions related to a different type of internet interface. The support team were excellent though and, after a short delay due to differences in time zone, and having to change the units name, it is now working as it should. The app is good, although some of the wind displays could be better.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase and the service received from The Weather Shop.

Impressive Device

After my previous Weather Station by another manufacturer failed due to age I decided to go for the Vantage Vue device; this is a mighty impressive piece of kit which offers so much information to me and probably more as I explore it's potential. Definitely worth spending the extra money over other manufacturer's cheaper devices. I read the long version instructions for device and console several times before installation which turned out to be very easy. Recommend it strongly.

Dear Barry,Thank you for your amazing 5-star rating of the Davis Wireless Vantage Vue Weather Station with WeatherLink Console 6242UK. We truly appreciate your support and are thrilled to hear that you are finding the device so impressive.

Upgraded to the Davis vantage Vue and so far, very impressed.

very helpful telephone advice from Weather Shop when deciding which model to choose

Opted for 24 hr delivery which didnt happen but a fault of Royal Mail, not the Weather Shop

Onc received, set up was easy

EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT

Whilst Davis products are expensive this was worth the cost. Very easy to set up and far superior than other weather stations I've had. What I didn't realise was that to gain full access to the data you need a subscription service. Also one needs to be careful when naming the station as there doesn't seem to be a way to change it later on!

The console shows just about all you need to know about the current weather situation and is very customizable. On the whole I would recommend Dais weather stations.

Thank you for the 4 star rating, Philip! We are so glad that you found the Davis Wireless Vantage Vue Weather Station with WeatherLink Console 6242UK to be a worthwhile cost. We are pleased to see that the station has served you well!

Poor value for money

Really disappointed with this weather station. It’s not worth the extra money compared to cheaper brands. The weather link app and console in particular are really poor. It often loses connection with the app and then your data isn’t accessible. Instructions on setting up the app and to get best use from the console non existent. Expected much more but for the price got very little.
