Works very well. The connection between the 2 units is excellent. Should have gotten the backlit unit but the price difference was too great. (Posted on 6/13/13)

It works great, easy to set up and easy to use. Needs a back light for night time viewing and a rain gauge, but I'm very pleased with the unit. (Posted on 5/13/13)

I love my Acurite Weatherstation ! It's the first thing I look at when I get up to see what's going on outside everyday. I'm ready to upgrade. (Posted on 4/30/13)

got this center as a christmas gift. got it ot of box and set it all up and the screen was a little messed up like it had been pushed on to hard during shipping. called customer support told them of the problem they shipped me a new one with no problem. new on works great. i am going to buy another center later on down the road want one with the wind direction on it plus rain guage but for the money couldnt beat this one.

For the price, this has got everything you need with the exception of a rain gauge; and, since I live in a desert we rarely get rain; so, why bother. It was easy to set up and quickly started working for my area. It has a 14 day learning period for your location; but, just 2 days after we got it, it said there was a chance of rain. At first we thought it was wrong; but, we checked the weather channel and there WAS a small storm that had formed a few miles north of us. So, it was right; there was a chance of rain! We are very satisfied with this product. (Posted on 11/16/12)

In low price range, summary of the weather which is easily available is reliable too. It also consume less battery. In practical life it is one of the best and must have item. (Posted on 8/23/12)

Very good weather station. Easy to setup and use. Display is easy to read with lots of useful info.

Product works as you would expect. Outside tempurature sensor is solar shielded so no false readings. It would be nice to have an atomic clock but for $50 what do you expect. The wireless range is decent also. I have the two units about 65 feet apart and it is 100% on the signal.

This product works great! It gives you accurate wind speed, but it would be and Excellent product if it had the wind direction too. Overall, a great product! (Posted on 4/28/12)

This is a very good unit. I wish this model provided the wind direction, but you have to purchase a different model for that, and I wish there was a back light on the unit to see it in the dark. Overall, very practical and informative. A great buy for me. (Posted on 4/22/12)

i bought this because i love weather. i wish had a rain guage
every reading matches my neighbors weather station and he has davis instrument. this is just as accurite better price. (Posted on 4/9/12)

Station works as you would expect. Outside temp sensor is solar sheilded for no false readings. The wireless range is great for the distance I need. I have the two units about 50 feet apart and it is consistently on the signal. (Posted on 9/19/11)

Back in the seventies and early eighties and I designed and sold weather systems so I have a good sense of how these things work. The sensor housing is patterned after professional units, less the motorized aspiration. The instruction manual claims there is a motor in it that is solar powered to pull air over the sensor, but this is not the case. The housing lessens the effects of the sun beating down on the unit and giving artificially high readings.

The design is fairly effective except when the sun is low on the horizon then the light reaches in and heats the sensor. The rest of the time, it is fairly accurate to about a degree Fahrenheit.

The ability to see dew point, and barometric pressure is a good thing. However, it is lacking a mechanism to adjust the pressure reading to sea level which is the Weather Service standard no matter what the altitude. I live by the ocean so this is not a problem for me. However, if you live in mountainous regions, this can cause large errors in the barometer readings. However, remember that the pressure trends are much more important that the actual reading.

The convenience of mounting to a PVC 3/4" pipe is nice except try mounting to an 8 to 10 foot piece and it becomes wobbly. Better to use metal if you can or encase the 3/4" pipe into the next larger size PVC pipe for stability. Mounting to a fence is tenable at best because the wind flow is distorted by the fence and causes incorrect readings.

All in all, this is a great unit for the money. If you are serious about weather as a hobby, it would be better to go one step up and get wind direction too, You can do some nice short range forecasting having the weather vane. The AcuRite Models 00825, 01010, 01500, or 01015 would be much better for you. The most important thing for measuring wind, that you get the sensor totally in the clear and above any obstructions.
