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.
The newer model is working great. Takes a little time adjusting to the new display locations but overall a great buy. My generation 1 model lasted about 3-4 years.
Once since installation (after a big rain), I had to reset the unit (by removing batteries from 5-1) to get it reporting again. Not the most promising sign.
