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.
Super easy to setup and the mobile and browser app are easy to use.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused you. The life expectancy of the outdoor sensor can vary greatly and depends on several factors such as mounting location, general climate, proximity to the ocean, etc. We do offer replacement parts that often extend the life of the sensor. For further assistance, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request.
This weather station was easy to put up and calibrate. The system has been very helpful with all the weather that we have been getting. I have cross checked my system with the local weather reporting station at our near by airport. Very happy with the system as this is my second station from Acurite. The Iris system is awesome.
