All in one convenience Review by Paperman

Value

This unit is easy to set up in just a few minutes. I have it mounted on the included mounting bracket on the outside of an upstairs deck railing in an effort to minimize the effects of radiant heat from the wood. Thus far it appears to be giving accurate temperature readings, but it remains to be seen whether it will have to be relocated during the hotter months. The wind speed is transmitted to the receiver every 18-20 seconds, not continuously, so you might look out the window and see it spinning madly and yet giving a lower than expected reading on the receiver display. However, it also records and displays peak and average wind speed. The unit has a "14-day learning mode," after which time I presume it gives more accurate barometric pressure readings. There is no way to manually establish the initial barometric pressure setting, so how it does this is a mystery to me. A cold front passed through the other day (unit nearing end of learning mode) and it showed a pressure reading of about 29.7 inches, which would be quite low. The atomic clock set itself the first night (does not display seconds). The clear plastic over the display is prone to reflections and many of the read-outs are quite small and difficult to see.

A wealth of information! Review by Jeffrey J.

Value

The Acu-Rite 00634 Weather Station is a very nice unit for the price. I like all of the features and only wish the display was lighted. The main unit is the right size and nice looking. The outdoor unit sensor seems well built for the elements and I mounted mine 3 feet above my bird feeders on the feeder pole. The birds don't seem to mind the anemometer spinning around!

Wonderful unit, amazingly accurate Review by randy

Value

I received a unit for christmas and was so impressed I purchased another for our trailer at a private park. The 00634A1 is easy to install. The accuracy is equal to the National Weather Service.

Excellent weather station! Review by Steven S.

Value

Received this for Christmas and installed on New Years Day. The future forecast has been amazingly accurate as we have had eight days of continuously changing weather and is still going through the "learning mode". I really like the amount of information and features from this unit including the atomic clock, moon phase, barometric pressure, and wind speed. Measurements have been very close w/in a percent or two from other weather stations in the area. I like having this device in our kitchen to see indoor humidity and temperature along with the outdoor readings and gives me the ability to plan my day with confidence. Great weather station and highly recommended.

The most accurate readings at its price Review by NOAA Mount Holly, NJ Meteorologist Steve A.

Value

For a low priced weather station it has superior accuracy, too achieve the most accurate wind speed's I recommend to place the sensor at a great deal of height, preferably at least 5ft. above the ground or upon a rooftop, temperatures slightly differ when placed on a roof but only by ~1.5 degrees. The relative humidity readings are very accurate within 2% of the actual percentage, the barometric pressure on the other hand you MUST wait to be accurate as the station has a 14 day learning mode, which determines your altitude, which really doesn't have too much to do with forecasting the weather it just basicly determines the barometric pressure which is vital in predicting weather conditions. In my opinon the forecasts are usually accurate(75%), but I don't believe it has to do mostly with the "algorithm" having to do with the relation between temperature and barometric pressure it mostly has to do with the pressure, as for example sometimes when everyday usual changes occur such as drops and rises a small sudden drop by .06 Inhg could trigger a mostly cloudy or rain forecast icon ut otherwise the forecast is generally accurate an example would be one day snow was forecasted for my area as I had woken up i looked at my station which indicated heavy snow (the flashing snow icon) and to my suprise the atmosphere was clear and blue with few cirrus clouds, 2 hours later it started to snow at a moderate rate and as I stared at the station it suddenly turned to a wintry mix alert icon and again to my suprise it turned into a wintry mix, compared to the forecasts of my davis vantage pro 2 the forecasts are much more accurate, and the atomic clock gets its signal overnight.

great Review by romoelaf

Value

Very accurate wind speed after mounting the sensor on a ten foot PVC pole. We live on a lake with very strong wind gust, I can't wait to see the real speeds after Sandy's high winds blew through here in the GREAT LAKES AREA.
back in November 2012.

A OK Review by Frog

Value

Set was quick, compared reading to weather radio, close and has not had the full 15 day learning curve, next one will be with rain gauge.

Fabulous Product, Couldn't Be Happier! Review by CD318

Value

I dreaded getting one of these weather stations---all I thought about was the set-up and product quality.
I could not be happier!! Set-up consisted of installing batteries in the transmitter and receiver--that's it! The atomic clock is deadly accurate and just made the appropriate time change for Daylight savings time. Two screws into the side of a 4X4 post that was out in my yard, and bingo--you've got your very own home weather station. The instructions say to keep the transmitter within 100 ft of the receiver, but my signal is excellent and the unit works perfectly at a further distance.
Enjoy--you won't regret it!

Looks great- Works even better! Review by Robert

Value

This is my first weather station and I am very pleased. It worked right out of the box. I mounted it on PVC pipe pole on my deck strapped to the railing and it even looks great. Highly recommended.

Way Cool Review by Lisa R.

Value

As easy and cool as they claim. The all in one outdoor sensor mounted on PVC pipe doesn't distract from my landscaping. The wireless range is great (>100ft adverstised). Remember to buy Lithium AA batteries for the outdoor sensor if you live in a cold climate. How did I live without wind speed?
