Taylor ClearVu Rain and Sprinkler Gauge, Measure and Monitor Precipitation, Easy to Read for Backyard, Patio, Garden, and Lawn, 6-inch Capacity, Clear

i HAVE HAD ONE OF THESE FOR YEARS AND HAD TO REPLACE IT THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF AGE AND IT GOT CRACKED. I DO LIKE THIS BRAND AND IT IS SO EASY TO INSTALL AND TO SEE.

I wanted a rain gauge but hated the colorful plastic ones at the hardware store that seem so popular. Of course places like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn had gorgeous ones, but I couldn’t justify spending $60+ on a rain gauge. This one is super pretty but affordable. Stuck it in the ground and let it do its thing. So far no rain, so unsure about durability and functionality, but it seems to be good quality. I did accidentally drop the glass part (it comes separate from the base) when I slipped on our hardwood floors and no cracks or breakage occurred, so seems durable!

This is plastic so will not shatter in the garden. However, it will crack if full and freezes, as I found out. So best put in away for the colder months. It also will fade in the sun. But easy to read from across the yard, reasonably accurate and moveable.

Worked great until the fire truck ran over it

this rain gauge is easy to read and seemly accurate unless your pranking neighbor comes over and adds water to your gauge;-). I left my old gauge which was actually the same type of gauge and it froze and cracked so this is an exact replacement.

Bracket is weak. Squirrel knocked the tube out and it broke, doesn’t take much force. Liked it enuf to replace it with the same one tho. Note the yellowing in the pic. Graduations are strange - half tenths and fractions mixed.

Works wonderfully. Just don’t leave it out when it freezes ! This is my second one.

This rain gauge is very pretty in person. My mother is in her 80’s and I got this for r Mother’s Day this year. The numbers are big enough for her to read from the patio door without going outside. We put it together (easy just screw the stake into the holder) and then stuck it in her flower pot! It also comes with a hanging bracket that we did not use. Will definitely keep this on my “go to” list of gift ideas!

Easy to read at a distance, cost effective, recommended!

Good quality construction and great in appearance. I am questioning it's accuracy as measured against my my old rain gauge. Not sure which one is right but on the first rain fall the old one measured 3/4" and the Taylor Precision read 1/2". Go figure. I have 3 more to compare with at a later rain.......turned out to be unreliable for measuring rain, and was returned.

Fairly large recipient for more accuracy, easy to install. Good price.

I am just curious about rain fall amounts?
