More Transparency in Our Reviews

By Ed Oswald

Published on:

Weโ€™ve made a small change to our review pages which we hope clears up confusion on when our reviews took place. Often, we โ€œbump the dateโ€ of our reviews to keep them from becoming stale. Unfortunately, that also makes it appear as if the review was just conducted.

Some of our reviews on here were conducted even before the site was online! We think our readers deserve to know that.

On every review page, youโ€™ll now see a date when the review was initially conducted, as well as other information on updates to the review all the way at the top. We have gotten several requests over the years for this, and think itโ€™s a great idea. If you have any other questions or comments about our reviews, please donโ€™t be afraid to ask!

Hold on, how is is possible some of these reviews were written before The Weather Station Experts existed (February 2021)?

While weโ€™ve only been a website for a little over three years, weโ€™ve been reviewing weather stations hands on since 2015! Some of our oldest reviews predate the site by about a half decade. However, if you want an example of how good Davis weather stations are, go take a look at the date on the Vantage Vue review. You arenโ€™t going to get a long-term review like that on any other weather station review site! ๐Ÿ™‚
