Residential Use. Unit has great display and functionality but fails every 12 to 18 months.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who is retiring soon. I've had one for years and love it. So will he.

Received as a gift last Christmas. What fun! Set the station up on the deck expecting to move it once the soil softened. I always like the temp display, and now I had rain and lightning too. The rain gauge and recording worked fine until September when I noticed the day's before rain did not add to the accumulated rain for the week or month. In fact, the rain for the day matched the rain for the week and month and those accumulators reset every day. I'm opening a ticket with Accurite to see what's what. The other problem is the lightning detector. At first, I had put it in the shed maybe 25' away. I was getting a fair amount of signal interference there, but tracked the lightning pretty well. I sought a better location - in a tree branch about 40' away - turned out to be not so good idea because it got way too wet to work. The trunk of a large well canopied tree was next maybe 70' away, but signal traveled "through the house" rather than one wall to outdoors. Couldn't get a signal. Back to the deck, under the handrail as a rain protector. I went picket by picket along the deck and found one where the interference light was not going off. Cool. Then the deck furniture went out. Back to find a new location. The bottom line is once I get it out to a point where there is no interference from WiFi and Microwave, it is out of range. I was planning to put the 5-in-1 out beside the house so I could get better wind readings, but if the lightning detector could not be found out there, the 5-in-1 on a post even farther out would be out of the question. I wish I had received the unit with the WiFi, but didn't, and the cost to add the WiFi adapter is just too high on its own. So, range, accumulator problems, no battery backup, lightning interference issues, and update delay, I could only give it three stars, but I still enjoy the beast.

The weather station I bought is not hooked up yet. It is for my son for Christmas. I received a weather station last Christmas and it has been great. False wind speed is the biggest issue. Unless you can mount it 50 feet up the speed will always be off. Nothing to do about that.

Replaced older unit which failed (after a little over two years) - display is excellent - wish this unit was capable of measuring wind Gusts - otherwise no issues
