Our acurite Irish 5 in 1 has become a very important part of our RVING experience. Ever changing weather has made an acurite a must have. Fast shipping well made great purchase.
This is my 3rd weather station. So I'm not a newbie, when I ordered it the advertisement said WiFi enabled and would connect to weather underground. Well this unit has no connection to the internet or weather underground. I honestly didn't mind paying more to get exactly what I wanted, but I will say I do enjoy the features of the unit and am not returning it because I already burned the packaging. I just want you to know that I am about halfway happy. Maybe if there was a upgrade I could buy I would do that. Thanks!
Works as good if not even better than the one I bought 13 years ago. You just need to add a solar panel charging system option to make the batteries last longer. I have tried many types/brands and I have all I can do to get 30 days out of them.
I have for the most part a great experience with the Acurite weather station. Unfortunately I have not have one survive a hurricane. Water will get blown into the unit and short out the control board. The price makes it affordable to replace the part or the whole system.
I've had the same (identical) weather station for a few years, but the sensor got smashed during a house move. I bought a replacement system and now have 2 functioning monitors in the house.
I use the 5 in1 at home. I love the colour display & features, weather trends + the weather data history. It's reliable with an easy to see display which makes for easy checking up on weather conditions. It's very hard to find fault with this unit but there are 2 things I'd like to address; 1) I would like the dimmer feature to be even darker at night, it is still very bright, even at it's lowest setting, bright enough to see where I'm going in our living room! 2) When there is lightning detected even if it's a false reading, the orange "listen" mode warning stays on & I don't know how to reset it or remove it after lightning has been detected. It takes a few days before the orange indicator goes away? When there's no active lightning weather I'd like the orange warning indicator to go out much sooner, otherwise this is a great weather station!
