This is my second AcuRite weather station. The last one finally died after over 10 years of use. The new one is very similar to the old one and it is working very well.
This was bought to replace an older one that had stopped being accurate and was using batteries like crazy. So far no issues and the display that came with it is very handy instead of having to go to the website.
The device provides copious meteorological information. I live on the top floor of a loft building in lower Manhattan, I was able to locate the remote unit in my "flowerbed" outside an Eastern facing window. I'm getting a lot of meteorological data on my screen. I've always been fascinated by weather devices such as this and have owned many of them. My father had a "weather prediction" device with a child and a witch on alternate sides. The child indicated good weather, the witch "questionable" weather. He would have been amazed by this device , as am I.
Due to increasing prices, I bought this one instead of the other 5-1's. I'm satisfied with this one, just wish the display was brighter during the day from across the room.
The weather station was purchased to replace one that had failed. The new weather station, even though it was the same brand and model as the old one would not communicate to the computer interface display that I had purchased for the old one. Had I known that, I might have looked at other systems.
