I love Acurite, truly. But this Direct to WiFi Display will not stay connected to my router for more than 30 minutes. Support is limited to email only, which is a brutal way to resolve issues. I have read about similar issues in the ratings area. The IRIS sensor is functioning exceptionally well, so I can see local info, but only on the display. I see that newer models have an antenna that may improve connectivity (my display is 8' from my router), but I have little confidence that I can get this product to perform any internet related functions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Actually in the last 10 years I've bought 4 of these units, two for myself and one for each of my kids. This particular unit is for my daughter and her family. I think it's not only fun to keep track of your weather data but a great motivator for kids to learn about meteorology and not to mention the educational value of setting it up. These units hold up and work well.
I received my AcuRite Weather Station a few years ago and it is great. During the year of the Texas freezing rain, I lost a tree and my wind speed sensor. For a nominal price, I received a new wind speed sensor that I easily installed. I like my AcuRite Weather Station so much, I bought one for my best friend. I have yet to give it to him for Christmas, but I know he and his wife will enjoy his Weather Station as much as I do mine
