No Lightning Detection!

I love the features of this weather station. Just Know.... the lightning detector does not work. I have reset everything and moved the detector all over my property. I will be looking for a more reliable unit. I cannot recommend this. The lightning detector simply does not work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was the perfect weather station for my son who is always curious to the outdoor conditions. It was easy to setup and provides more then enough information for those who always want to know everything that is going on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my third Acurite system that I have had over the years. This was easy to set up but I would suggest the following changes. I would have liked to have added my old screen as well as a lightening detector, but the system is limited to two items. Additionally, the screen "font" size is smaller than my old system. I think that a "senior" version using a larger screen or larger font or adjustable font could be added. The smaller screen could still be used but with fewer items displayed. The print is small, so it is difficult to see across the room. Lots of historical information is still available which is a nice feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

System does not have a battery in the main unit. If it losses power then you have to set it up again.
Response from AcuRiteBy AcuRite Support Team, November 19, 2025
We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused you. High-definition display units draw too much power for standard backup batteries to continue powering the display in the event of a power outage. However, we do offer an Uninterruptible Power Base that can be used with this display to provide battery backup during power outages. Here is a link for you to review:

Much better than the one had purchased from another company. I have several AcuRite thermometers and love them.
