I have two 5-in-1 and two Atlas weather stations, all with lightning detection. I am generally pleased with them so I purchased this one for a Christmas gift. I'm sure they will register it after Christmas.

I have purchased several Accurite Weather Stations In the last ten years for myself and others. Great for farm use. However this unit to my surprise did not come with battery backup. I figured battery backup would be standard for a weather station. We loose power from time to time here in SC and this unit just resets all data lost. I learned a lesson and will research the unit before spending my hard earned money on it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First unit quit working after a few years of being in the weather. Liked it so much I replaced it with the exact same model. Had a bit of trouble on the window ledge where the monitor is located getting a strong enough signal, but found a good spot and the unit is working just fine.

This unit is very easy to read and has been flawless for me . I do wish the display had a battery backup for brief power outages.
I purchased the weather station with the lightening sensor, which I really like. What made me really happy was my 10 year old Acurit Displays worked with the new weather station.
I have had this unit for several years before. Always liked it. We had a power surge after an outage and did a number on my existing unit. So, my wife purchased the new unit as a gift.
So far, we really like this weather station. Shipped quickly, easy to set up, and the display is easy to read and navigate. Have been surprised to see how many lightning strikes we actually get with storms.
