Verified Purchase:Yes
This was our 2nd unit, which we purchased for my parents. The other unit we have is much older (5 years) and we have had no issues with that one, which does not connect to the Internet. With this unit, we had no dramas setting up and calibrating it, but when connecting to the AcuRite online interface, we found that we had to do multiple resets of the Display to get it to register. Once we had it registered, we found that it is not possible to edit names of the default alerts created. The Underground Weather setup wasn't too bad either. Would we purchase again, yes for sure!
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!
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.
This is the third one I have purchased. And all worked great . The display units are still working fine. The first sensor the wind cups fell apart so I replaced the whole thing. The next one I purchased the access with it so I could keep up with the weather no matter where I was. Then the access unit failed and I purchased the direct wi-fi and have the new sensor still in the box and using the old sensor and all three displays are still working. One in the kitchen, one beside the recliner and the oldest one is in my workshop. If I ever need to buy another one I definitely will buy another 5 in one
Easy to install, setup was a breeze and monitors perfectly. Love being able to check the weather when I'm away from home. Have one on each of my houses couldn't be happier! Highly recommend.
I upgraded from an older model Acurite that was 5-6 years old. This model has a better display and easy to setup. Only problem I have can't connect to my Wi-Fi, I have 5GHZ and it needs 2.4GHZ to connect. But other than that, I would recommend this.
