The device is more favorable than another product ("monsoon" rain gauge). Because one of our two monsoon is broken, I've taken the time here and, as I said, the more expensive is already a break. After unpacking you do not feel well the whole super quality at, but should be sufficient. The Meßmechanik has the kitchen test works anyway. The battery compartment screws were to open with difficulty and pliers on screwdriver. At the receiver, no film was on display (Returned goods?). But the test went, sometimes we see it in everyday life long it goes. There were no batteries here (also very small at the bottom of the pack ....)
