I've had one in my home for about 5 years. For Christmas I purchased one for each of my children. Since the wind is prevalent in one of the locations, we compare notes of severity. We are only 40 miles apart but the difference is amazing. Fun and practical tool to have year-round.
After giving my parents another brand of weather station and it not even lasting two years, I switched back to Accu-Rite and I'm very happy with the results. So easy to set up and get working plus it lasts far longer than the other brand. YEARS longer. Sorry I strayed, happy to be back. Any my own weather station has been great as well.
I am very pleased with how easy it was to set up and connect to the direct to Wi-Fi display! I had data connected to the AccuRite app on my phone in minutes. I am disappointed that the direct to Wi-Fi display does not support my other sensors that were connected to my AccuRite Access. This was not documented such that I understood this incompatibly when I decided to replace my broken station with direct Wi-Fi display.
This is my 3rd AcuRite weather station. The first I left at the house I sold for the new owners. It had functioned well for many years. When I bought my second AcuRite for my new house, I was very disappointed to find out the myAcuRite app could not be used with it. Very disheartening that this was not readily mentioned on the order site. Finally, after a year of frustration, I ordered a new model, and confirmed that it was compatible with the MyAcurite app, and was very pleased. The dissatisfaction comes in after I ordered 2 additional sensors (like I had on my original), only to find my new weather station is not compatible with adding additional sensors. It took me an hour of research (after a couple of hours trying to install them) to find this out. In all fairness, AcuRite needs to provide a list of what is and what is not compatible with each bundle. Now I'm stuck for a couple of years with the inability to add additional sensors.
It is great, one big flaw for our area, living in an a climate with snow, once it snows, the wind gage does not work, would be nice to have a self warming feature so the snow melts.
