My wife and I have been looking for a weather stations and I received an email from AccuRite with some special deals. I bought one and it arrived in good shape. Set up was easy, and placement was easy. A strong signal from both the min unit and the lightning detector. The main unit reports accurately and the display is very easy to read. Looks like it will last a long time and give good service. You won't go wrong .....
I would buy this again but not with 100% duty at the border

We check the weather when we get up and rely on it for all of our gardening, travel and leisure activities. Its a great product for all seasons. This is our second unit. However 100% duty at the border will probably make it our last until you sell directly in Canada.
Hail destroyed my previous weather station so it was time to get another. I went with the same 5 in 1 station but got the black high display this time. The display didn't work but the customer service was quick to do the process and send me another which does work. I like the darker screen better than my previous color one. Even though the color display can be dimmed a little, it reverts back to bright. So if it is anywhere near a bed it keeps some people up who want complete darkness. I do prefer the color display having a battery backup though when power goes out (I live off-grid). The high def display doesn't have that. But as long as the outage isn't too long the settings are saved. I've used AcuRite stations for a couple decades and I'm sure I'll buy another in a few years when this one gets destroyed by large hail stones.
However, this is pur third unit in less than 5 years. Spent $35 for part and postage on last unit at Acu rite advise and it did not solve issues. New unit was only about $10 more then Acu rites next recommendation. Love the unit just not reliability or response to poor reliability. Scott Vaitones
It worked instantly once we had it all together. This is our third station, we have one in the garage and up and down stairs in our house. They are the best.
