Complain
broke when rain water froze inside it
It cracked within 6 months so not holding water
Failed after 2 1/2 years
Not what I expect from an expensive piece of kit
Waste of money
The gauge is good shame about the stem the condition at the bottom of the holder is welded at a angle so when you put it in the ground it will be crooked
tricky to read the scale
The one big drawback of it is that the scale on it is very tricky to read not only in situ - as demonstrated in the photo taken in my rhubarb patch -

it still loses connection frequently
