| Design | ( / 5 ) |
| The WB4000 gives you all that you need in one box. The downside is that it's confusing to setup -- expect to spend time figuring a lot out. There are five installation manuals! It's relatively easy to mount in your backyard once you figure out what to do, and most of it is assembled for you, ready to go out of the box. The WeatherBugPlus and other accompanying software is highly customizable, so you can get the information you need, and filter out that which you're not interested in. You can also customize the look and feel of your WeatherBug's interface. |
