weather station review . Great little weather station for your young weather enthusiast. Very accurate. As good as my $200.00 weather station. Great buy at a low cost. I like that it can be attached to large soda bottle. I recommend that you add ballast to the bottle to keep it from blowing over. I, and my grandson filled the bottle with colored marbles. Not only did it do the job, but he had fun doing it. Great product, at a modest price.

Fun for the weather enthusiast . I bought this for my two sons last summer. We recorded weather conditions down everyday in a notebook. For what it is, I think it's a nice little product. We did not plant anything in the bottle, just weighed it down with water. I really like the rain gauge. Did not last all summer, however, out in the elements. I am purchasing a new one that we will bring indoors after recording our data. Keeping the old one for the rain gauge!

Toysmith 4 M Weather Station Kit #4573 Opinions
Not an anemometer in my opinion . This is a nice toy for a young child, but in my opinion, the advertising is deceptive. The so called anemometer does not really measure wind speed. I figured there would be a crude pointer or something to give a person a general idea of how fast the wind is blowing, but when you read the instructions, they tell you it does not really measure wind speed. Their explanation: if the three little cups are moving faster, the wind is blowing faster... no kiddding ! In my opinion, the weather station DOES NOT include an anemometer. The grey color is also kind of boring, but it could be a good painting project for your child.

Great! . Excellent kit and a great value. I used this with my cub scout den to work on our weather belt loop and they all loved it. We didn't plant anything in the bottle just because with 3 boys each putting one together I didn't want to bring dirt into the mix. Been there did that! LOL . We used marbles instead but your could really use just about anything. There are great weather worksheets for free online that you can find to go with this and maximize the learning experience! I will use this company again for our future projects they all work right into our limited budget!
Poor Construction . I am stopping on my way to throw this away to leave a review. I thought this was a great idea. It was fun to learn from for a month or so, but it soon fell apart. The plastic is cheap (well, isn't all plastic?). It would constantly blow over even though we put sand in our bottle as directed. The anemometer and another arm broke off. The thermometer leaked water into it and now has mold growing in it, so I have to find a way to dispose of this safely. If I ever want a weather station for my kids I think I will try to build my own out of durable, safe materials.
Weather station . Bought this for my grandson who is very interested in the weather. He is enjoying this very much. He talk and tells me about the weather whenever I'm around him. Hopefully someday he will become the weatherman.
Mediocre Product - temperature gauge takes on moisture etc. . This product should deliver on it's core offering: temp gauge, wind vane/compass, water collector. Here's what it does. Temp gauge is very low quality and takes on moisture so that it is unreadable. Wind vane does not measure wind velocity. Compass works. Water collector works. 5/5 stars. As a kids activity the assembly is a good exercise, but as a scientific piece of equipment, even for a science project, it is not. If you live in a low moisture climate, the temp gauge will not be an issue, but in the Puget Sound on the West Coast it is.
Educationlal Weather toy . I purchased this for my great grandson, he loves learning about weather. This toy is a good project to learn from, for those that enjoy weather changes.
Cons Review
