Wish I had seen this earlier. I purchased a Vantage Vue in late May of 2011. So far it is operating flawlessly and I fully expect it to continue that way. This is my third DI weather station. I started with a Wizard II in late 1994. It now records the temps. on my main floor and basement, while a Wireless Monitor II purchased in 2003 records all the outside data and the upstairs temperature. I equipped the Monitor II with a 24 hour FARS and a rain collector heater. It reports to CWOP and WU. I had to replace the FARS fan after five years and am still on the original ISS battery.
I am retired and spend two to three months a year camped at some lakes in northern Colorado where I fly fish for trout. I purchased the Vue to be able to temporarily mount it on the trailer while I am camped, in order to try and figure out how various weather changes affect the fishing. When I am home, it is mounted within five feet of the Monitor II and I am amazed at how close the two readings are.
If I ever have to replace the Monitor II, it will be with a Vantage Pro, not the Vue, even though I am, so far, very impressed with the Vue.
Having only had the Vue in operation for less than two months, I'm not sure I should be posting on this thread, but so be it. I just needed to express my opinion on Davis products.
