It is not a toy. Meter works great. App works great. Get the LiNK wireless and the vane mount. Expensive. It's not a toy.

I got this just before going on long trip abroad and could not thoroughly test it. When I came back and tried it out, the impeller got constantly stuck, producing clicking sounds and of course recording much too low wind speed readings.I contacted support and was told to nudge it away from the casing, but I could not even tell where it touched. To get a better look I decided to remove the impeller from the instrument, which is normal procedure for replacing it and described in the manual. It came out and fell apart as you can see in the photo. It is a really cheap looking frail plastic part.You should know that they sell replacements for between 30 and 40 Euros including tax and shipping and it is supposed to be calibrated in a wind tunnel and come with a certificate. This is absolutely ridiculous. And it also proofs that it is not made to last. Why make it so easily replacable otherwise?Support told me to send it back to Amazon (which is not possible anymore) instead of offering at least a free replacement impeller. The only thing Kestrel is good at is marketing to sell their cheap quality product for a ridiculously high price.

Nothing to complain about with this weather Meter. Well built, accurate and easy to use. Still learning how to log and graph my readings though.
