I am happy with station except for the wind direction feature. The pointer Indicates opposite of what the actual wind direction is. Example is if the Pointer says North, wind is actually coming from the South going North. A bit confusing. The other features are great.
Our second 5 in 1 weather station. We've been tracking rain for the last 22 years with our first AcuRite with never a problem. A spread sheet assists in looking a trends and averages over the years.
I have bought 5 or 6 Pro and 5 in 1 AcuRite's before

I have the unit mounted on my rooftop and it works great. I have high hopes this one will last many years. I was disappointed my last AcuRite only operated about 18 months.

Purchased this model and it has never measured the first drop of rainfall. Very disappointed !
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this weather station to replace an 8-year old unit that was damaged during a hail storm (wind speed propeller broken and solar panel cracked). I appreciate that I could purchase replacement parts for the old station, but wanted the newer model and thought it would be nice to have a second color display. The old display still works and I was able to sync it with the new weather station. The new color display went to my upstairs bedroom, so I can check on the weather before dressing. I wish the display back light could be turned off so it doesn't light up my bedroom at night... but a folded handkerchief covers the display well enough. Otherwise very happy to have my weather station back up. Thanks!
Yes, I would buy again and again. Plus, recommend to friends

I have one of these that after 10+ years of service, I had to buy only the wind monitor, with new solar panels. This new one is a gift for my father-n-law. Great product...
