Does the rain delay feature really work ?

I never used rain delay functio but it works so nice that I purchased a second one. The first I purchased is working continously from may 2014 with the same batteries.

I have never used the rail delay. But everything else works correctly. In fact I have purchased 2 more. It is ideal on rental property where we are getting grass growing. Since we can't be there every day to water it saved the grass and time.

This entire unit did not work well for us at all, and it was too late to return it when we found out.An older model we had was found, and we were back in business. I'll try to find that model for you.

I don't feel that there is any delay, and I've been using it for sometime now. Hope this helps.

Just open the box and quickly remove your mail. I never had problem with rain. Changed batteries 4 times and still the unit worked only "sometimes". Today, FEB 10, the alarm DID NOT go off when the mail was delivered, BUT DID GO OFF when my wife opened the box and took the mail out. What good is that ?

I have not tried it yet - purchased based on reviews. We are getting so much rain here at this time it seems pointless to try it just now.

I have yet to pause long enough for it to matter, but so far I haven't noticed that it does. I know that it gives you the option of manually pausing it with just the press of a button, as it asks me that when I am done with my run. Sorry I haven't got better info this time around!

It does have a rain sound. Unfortunately, the machine is quite poor quality - especially considering that ALL it needs to do is play sound. We had our less then a year, used it only on trips (maybe once a month) and it still started spazzing out while playing. We ended up buying a cd and playing one rain song on loop instead. It is certainly cheaper!!

Yes, it does. We are not thrilled with this feature, but have yet to learn how to disable it. I can assure you that it works.

No! There are still some bugs that need to be worked out. It will connect sometimes but when it doesn't it causes pauses in every application untill it connects.

I am not sure if it has a control for it. My problem is poor eye site. So far it has worked very well it providing the sever weather alerts.

Yes it does seem to have a delay. Maybe 15-30 seconds, if memory serves me correctly.

No it only works in the daylight. Sometimes when a big cloud goes over it will turn off.

This may be one feature that unfortunately doesn't work very, or, like the previous person said, it may be available only during a weather emergency. I tried the same steps as you but got the same results. I also thought the small WB/FM button on the side under the headphone jack would make a difference (it is supposed to be in the "up" position), but it didn't.

most but not all. some of the settings like delay times have not worked for me, but most commonly used functions do.

I havent noticed a delay when I used it. If there is one it is hardly noticeable.

Yes. It gives the local weather for the area in which you live. It also has a function to give weather alerts in your area.

If there is a delay it would be in the sub-millisecond level. I think you can ignore it.JohnSellars

I don't know since I have owned it, it hasn't rained yet. It has rained a little and I haven't noticed that the rain did anything to the camera. So I think it does help.
