Amazon.com Review: Checking the plastic rain gauge oftentimes means a trip out to the garden, in the rain, and then a lot of record keeping. A great way to stay abreast of the garden's irrigation needs without getting wet, Oregon Scientific's wireless, remote rain gauge features a self-emptying rain cup that measures and then dumps collected rainfall. Nine-day memory and indoor/outdoor temperature readings help monitor precipitation and weather patterns over time. An automatic a wireless transmission range of up to 300 feet with the rain gauge and up to 100 feet for the thermometer means a lot less back-and-forth. The unit displays daily readings, 9-day histories, and total rainfall records. Rainfall measurements are shown in inches or millimeters. The gauge also features a high rainfall alarm, comes with two AA batteries for the gauge and two AAA batteries for the sensor. --Brian Olson

Rating: - Great...for a few months
Worked great for a few months, then the rain guage slowly quit connecting with the base...constantly had to push the search button. I'm not sure why we even still have the thing other than I hate throwing that much money in the trash. The outside temp guage did not last long in the outdoors weather. It quit working all together after about 5 months. The rain guage ONLY works now when pushing the search button. I'll be buying a new one for Christmas for my husband, but not from this company!
Rating: - Very disappointed
I purchased Oregon Scientific "long range" rain gauge in October. The product description states a 300-ft transmitting range. I placed my rain gauge in the backyard with the receiver in the house no more than 30-feet away (and by a window, too!). In less than an hour the receiver no longer was getting the signal. This was after using brand new Energizer Max batteries, instead of the cheap ones provided. I tried re-booting the transmitter and receiver with them sitting next to each other (a minor annoyance having to remove the EIGHT screws to get to the batteries). The connection was quickly ...

Rating: - We love it!
We have not had one problem with ours. I'm so surprised so many people have had trouble. Ours is set up with the rain gauge outside on a post of the deck, the monitor in the kitchen and the transmitter halfway in between on the screened porch. We've had it almost one year and ...well, we live in North Georgia so we haven't nearly enough rain to fill up Lake Lanier. But this gauge has kept a very accurate account of what we have gotten. My husband still keeps the old glass tube and compares them to see if the new one is accurate and it appears to work fine!
Rating: - Frequent Signal Problems
The results have been very disappointing with this unit: it loses the sensor signal on a regular basis (as frequently as once a week). Careful installation (signal check and leveling) did not prevent the problem. Not recommended.
Rating: - Oegon Scientific RGR 126 Rain Gauge
The rain gauge itself worked very well and was acurate, but the outside temperature sensor never did work.
