Set-up easy, seems well built. Have used AcuRite for years and they're my go-to weather stations. Wifi hookup was a little tricky for me, but I am not of the tech generation and did get it operational!
Purchased this to replace the original senor which failed over time. I like the fact that I can use both receivers and now have an extra one in the bedroom. The WiFi and Accurite App is a very nice addition as I can check remotely and recall old data. Nice unit.
I have AcuRite weather station at two different properties. I've had older models that were working perfectly but I replaced them with wifi capable units and couldn't be happier. One of the new units had a problem with the humidity sensor, so I emailed the Customer Service. I got a reply within the hour, and after a short troubleshooting session, AcuRite shipped me a replacement unit. Outstanding customer service, and support! This is a company that stands behind their product!
I have owned at least 4 of the AcuRite 5-in-1 weather stations. All 3 units that I have placed into service in Port Isabel, TX have failed after approximately 3 years each. The wind direction vane will typically seize up first, followed by the anemometer seizing up. Until AcuRite can build a unit to withstand the Texas LOWER Gulf Coast (think SpaceX Boca Chica) I do not recommend this product. My 1 unit in Pasadena, TX works find.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for the time that you have taken to write your review we appreciate your feedback. We do recommend keeping all moving parts lubricated to prevent seizing for the best results. If there is ever anything that we can assist you with, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request.
I had excellent customer support with the questions I had prior to purchase. When the weather station arrived, it was easy to setup and become part of the weather underground network. Excellent product, great service, and a good value for the money.
