Couldn't be happier. Seems like a great weather station, especially considering the price. Other reviewers have already commented on how easy it is to set it up; I can confirm that. Also, I couldn't find good info anywhere on the size of the included, small mounting pole. Turns out, it fits perfectly on 1-inch EMT conduit; and I mean perfectly. Slides right on, nice and snug. A very helpful gentleman at HomeDepot helped me figure that out. Drilled a small hole through both poles, put a self-tapping screw in and now it's rock-solid. Purchased a $15 antenna chimney mounting kit, mounted a 5-ft piece of the 1-inch conduit I just mentioned, and the weather station sits up nice and high on my roof, and dutifully reports weather to Wunderground.com every ~15 seconds. I downloaded the Wunderground "Wunderstation" iPad app which is basically the console. It shows everything the station reports, including the indoor temp and humidity from the separate indoor sensor and also give you historical graphs, etc. This very nice (and free) app kind of makes the console you get with the WS1200 obsolete. I had a question about calibration values and emailed AW's customer service. I received a very helpful email the next day so that further increased my positive experience I've had so far. Originally I wanted to get the Cadillac of home weather stations, the Davis Vantage Pro2, but by the time you get it, add the UV sensors that are included with the WS1400 and the software required to connect to the internet, you're looking at around $1200. The $150 was much more palatable and, based on my very informal and unscientific sampling, I'm not sure you get that much more accuracy by spending the extra grand
