Davis 6351 VantageVue Wireless Console/Receiver

Davis weather station has been up and working for a month now and so far no problems. It's been accurate so no complaints about that. Installation was not hard but to get better results you need to follow the setup instructions carefully.Instructions are clear and easy to follow so that helps. Since this is more precise than less expensive stations setup is more important. Only negative is price, but it is better constructed than other weather stations I have had. Hopefully it will also hold up longer. Previous ones I had tended to fail after a couple of years. Also made in USA if that matters.

I presently have an older Vantage Vue Console that I purchased in 2010 and decided to purchase a second console to take advantage of firmware upgrades that Davis has made to the console over the last seven years. I also plan to use this console with a Clone Data Logger and transmit my weather station data to the Weather Underground using a TP Link 3020 WiFi access point loaded with Meteobridge firmware.The Console arrived in perfect shape and I had it programmed and displaying my Davis ISS weather data in less than 15 minutes. This new Console has been running for about three days without issues and agrees fairly closely with the in-house temperature and humidity reading on the older Davis Console.

This is our third monitor station receiving from a single weather measurement cluster. The performance has been excellent because each monitor station is well within 100' of the transmitter. In our former house, transmission strength was marginal at about 300'. Batteries last about a year, but the station will run direct from house current. Take the time to learn the controls and there's a ton of information right at your fingertips. The original station is still working fine after four years, but the instrument station had to be replaced after about ten years with a couple of parts replaced during that time. Support seems to be pretty good. Caution: once you get used to having that weather detail on your desk, it's hard to do without.

This unit will last forever and has all the features you can ask for.

I like this weather machine. It is very good machine. I count on it during bad weather.

I bought this unit as a secondary display for my Vantage Pro II system. The overall quality of the unit is very good as with all Davis equipment. The console is actually much more stable when sitting on a desk or other flat surface than the Pro II display and the console style keyboard makes it actually easier to use. I have always been somewhat suspect of plastic film pushbuttons, which this unit has, but not a problem at this point. Time will tell. The information displayed on this is somewhat different than the Pro II, and the weather center feature takes a little getting used to and maybe not as useful as I would like but I am still playing with it and that opinion may change with time. One feature I miss with this as opposed to the Pro II is a Rainstorm total which monitors and records rainfall total over a period of time as long as there is not a 24 hour gap between rain events. The one other thing it lacks as opposed to the Pro II is an indication to give the increments shown on the graph. Overall this is a very nice unit whether purchased separately as I did or as part of the Vantage Vue system.

Acurate outside air temperature and humidity.

has replaced a brand we have had nothing but issues with, Davis is the brand to buy
