Summary as of Oct 13, 2026. ## Pros - Allows separation of rain collector from the main unit for better functionality - Easy-to-read console with clear visuals and large information display - Low maintenance due to no moving parts except for the rain gauge’s tilt and dump mechanism - Uses versatile batteries suitable for outdoor use, including lithium or standard options - Easy installation, especially when replacing an older weather station - Fast data updates, particularly for wind speed - Compatible and data-sharing ready with Weather Underground and Ambient Weather platforms - Accurate weather reporting and reliable sensor integration - Large screen displays a wealth of information, making it easy to monitor conditions at a glance - The SD card slot is useful for storing historical data and firmware upgrades ## Cons - The smaller display size compared to older models can impact readability at distances over five feet - Programming can be challenging and time-consuming for some users - Mounting system could be more durable, and hardware should ideally be stainless steel for longevity - Current mounting style may not be the most secure or convenient - Linkage to weather platforms like Weather Underground may be tricky initially and could require some patience - The display setup is somewhat cumbersome despite offering comprehensive information - Limited customization options for the display reduce ease of use and viewing flexibility - The SD card, which is important for data storage and upgrades, should be included by default - The outside humidity reading size could be increased for easier visibility ## Specifications | Attribute | Value | |-----------|-------| | UPC | 816982018465 | | ASIN | B087V6N5WZ | | Color | Display Console + Ultrasonic + Raincup | | Model | WS-5000 | | Shape | Rectangular | | Frequency | 915 MHz | | Brand Name | Ambient Weather | | Style Name | Display Console + Ultrasonic + Raincup | | Part Number | WS-5000 | | Display Type | Lcd Display | | Manufacturer | Ambient Weather | | Power Source | Solar Powered | | Is Used Where | Indoor, Outdoor | | Material Type | Metal | | Item Highlight | With TFT Full Color LCD Display | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 789Reviews | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,065 in Patio, Lawn & Garden (See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden) #36 in Weather Stations | | Sensor Technology | Ultrasonic | | Additional Features | Barometer, Hygrometer | ## Last Seen Prices | Retailer | Price | Availability | Last seen | Store's standard terms | |----------|-------|-------------|-----------|------------------------| | [Ambient Weather](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/205177ee-f371-2e12-e75a-b89c2f6d0e09?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $359.99 | In Stock | 2026-10-12 | | | [Amazon](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/ae73ecdb-6c0d-6d2a-def8-b154dd9d14c3?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $449.99 | In Stock | 2024-07-16 (may have changed) | | | [Walmart](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/QXtqgPE2gx9GxAfdOxQU?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $449.99 | In Stock | 2026-10-12 | 90-day returns (in store too) | | [WeatherShack](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/fb283bb1-674b-9f6f-1b36-eddaf082fa18?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $499.99 | In Stock | 2026-10-12 | | | [Tractor Supply Company](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/78ce85b7-1a00-1986-1b69-e5970fa286c7?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $549.99 | In Stock | 2026-10-12 | | | [Bonanza](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/e4e628f5-b4ee-4943-8f7b-d586ca353c72?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $584.99 | In Stock | 2026-10-12 | | | [FixlyDIY](https://shopsavvy.com/api/redirect/products/mRtvE0W2ntiHe8je87Jh/offers/bk-316601869a9d4aee9b8f104ad194d477?source=shopsavvy&medium=product-page) | $926.98 | In Stock | 2026-10-12 | | *Store terms are each retailer's standard return and shipping policy from ShopSavvy's retailer research; some products and categories differ, so check with the store before buying.* [See every retailer and the full price history on ShopSavvy](https://shopsavvy.com/products/ambient-weather-ws-5000-weather-station) --- *About this page: ShopSavvy compares prices across thousands of retailers, aggregates expert and user reviews, and tracks price history to help you make informed buying decisions.
