La Crosse EA-3010U Review by David W. Schmidt (Fair Oaks, CA)
One of the reasons I bought this was to assist me as a newbie in radio control model aircraft flying. Landing is made more difficult as the wind becomes stronger, especially if the landing is not directly into the wind.
When simply blowing at the impeller of this anemometer and watching it gradually slow and stop, I was struck at how unbalanced it is as manifested by the impeller usually rotating in the opposite direction at least a small amount just as it stops. The only explanation I can think of is that the heavier side of the impeller is going to the bottom. When using this machine in the wind, there is a mild but definite vibration -- again, the only thing that I can think of is imbalance.
With radio control airplanes, balancing the propeller is important to avoid imbalance that can cause vibration which could lead to weakening of the airframe and loss of the model in a crash. With the anemometer, the impeller bearings may wear excessively, but this type of anemometer seems to me unlikely to be used sufficiently for that to happen. Accuracy, especially at low wind speeds, would be my main concern.
I put this into my auto's windstream and it agreed with the speedometer from about 10 to 60 mph. So it seems reasonably well calibrated.
I'm going to keep this. The price is reasonable. The electronics and display are well done. But I'm disappointed that a simple and important step, balancing the impeller, was not done to make this a much better product.

La Crosse EA-3010U Review by Jeffrey S. Imes "Luke SkyWatcher" (Aynor, SC USA)
I do basic weather watching for the National Weather Service. I have always wanted to measure wind speeds, living on the East coast in hurricane area, but wasn't sure what to get and which one was trustworthy. I was reading about this Anemometer and it appeared to be good and the price was great. I ordered it and it works great so far. Had it a little over a month and it is holding up good. It is simple to use and shows outside temp. readings also. The neck strap I love so I don't have to worry about dropping it. I would recommend this one to anyone who wants to measure wind speeds. The only negative thing I could say is I wish it measured wind speeds up to like 100 mph or more...but I guess I wouldn't be standing up very long if it did...lol
