Solid Performance over time Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Had mine in service since November 2019. Replaced the Temp/rain gauge unit in 2021. Easy R&R and reasonable priced repair. The built in solar charger in the Sensor unit keeps the battery charged and I haven't had to replace the battery.

I feed to ambientweather.net website. Originally went with both WeatherUnderground and Ambient, but dropped WU when they were having difficulties. I use Ambient's Android app to monitor when away from the console.

Setup and calibration was easy with the excellent manual. Really like the onboard SD card and the data capture. I download the card annually for a permanent record.

The only add-on I've done is to power the console from an UPS feed as the console provides the feed to my router/internet. The console does not have a battery backup.

Highly satisfied and the price (unlike most weather stations of this caliber) makes an accurate, reliable and convenient weather station affordable for most hams.

Extremely Satisfied Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I replaced an Acurite 5 in 1 that I had up for a few years but had failures with it. I did a ton of research before deciding on the WS-2000. I modified my installation some from the Acurite unit. So far I have been extremely pleased with this unit and the data that it has been uploading to the different services. I recently added the Lightning Detector. My unit on Weather Underground is KWBELIN3 if you're interested.

Top notch design Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is my first WX station and only took about 30 minutes to be up and running. It reports to the weather underground and the ambient web site as well. Works with many other devices and applications. I installed this today and will follow up in the next few months to its performance.
I must say, the HD display is very nice!
Update: 12/15/2020
Still working great after a year of being up and running. Absolutely no issues. Added the lightning detector and (2) soil moisture sensors. They work great with the WS-2000

Just right Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After hesitating for many years on what to get, this really fit my need. It also fit all of my wants, and as far as a weather station for a consumer goes, you couldn’t ask for any better integration than what this offers. I would definitely buy it again!
