Comment:
Don't let the looks dissuade you, as an electronics design engineer I can say that this is an excellently designed rain gauge, and it easily dissembles for battery installation and mounting. I have mine on a pole that has a small flat wood top section and I just screwed it to the wood with the supplied stainless wood screws. I like the simplicity of this unit, other rain gages that I have had try to do too many things and as a result do nothing well. The read out is very large and one can toggle between the 24 hour rain accumulation or the accumulative total. So the bottom line is if you want an inexpensive accurate, simple rain gauge this would be a good choice.

Comment:
This is the gauge that I have been looking for.
It takes the guesswork out of the rain totals and you don't have to make special trips to dump the water.
It would be nice if you could clear the 24 hour total and the accumulated total separately.
You need to write down the 24 hour total as soon as possible because evaporation occurs soon after the rain stops and the total shown drops, giving erroneous readings.
You can, however, use the accumulated total and subtract the previous total from the accumulated total to give you the current amount.
