Vorsprung brand
« on: November 28, 2024, 07:17:50 PM »
Anybody know anything about these

Looks very nice, not seen a sensor array like that before? although the console looks familiar.
It's also a very good price.

I had never heard of Vorsprung until I saw your post. So I have no experience with Vorsprung. And I see that a search of this forum shows no other references to Vorsprung. :shock:

Vorsprung's primary business seems to be electric vehicle chargers.  Their website only show that one weather station.  Odds are that Vorsprung is just relabeling some other manufacturer's product.  In my opinion, that is bad news for you as you are likely to get minimal support from Vorsprung directly, and possibly no support from the real manufacturer.

I'm not in the UK, so its not easy for me to see UK delivered prices, but Ecowitt has a range of products likely to be in a similar price range, that come with much better manufacturer support, as well as many knowledgeable Ecowitt users on this forum

These prices are before shipping & tax etc, but take a look: https://shop.ecowitt.com/collections/weather-station
I see Ecowitt on Amazon in the US, perhaps they are on Amazon UK too.

I've looked at the Vorsprung website too and weather stations seem a bit random compared to their other products!

Ecowitt prices are comparable for similar setups in the UK, but the better looking Ecowitt consoles with a 7 sensor array are more expensive.  They are available via amazon in the UK too, next day delivery beats 10 days from China via Ecowitt's shop.

I've committed to an Ecowitt clone (Aercus Weathermaster) now, which seems to be same/ similar to the Ambient HP2550. The price was good for me this side of the pond and as you rightly point out support and accessories are readily available.

I was just interested as having recently researched weather stations there aren't that many variations and this was one I couldn't tie to the usual manufacturers. Having done a bit more interweb wadeing I see it's also available as a Vevor brand, which seems available in the US.
