AcuRite Wireless Home Weather Station with Color Display, Indoor Outdoor Thermometer and Temperature Sensor

Our old weather station went kaput. The transmitter quit working. We got this as a replacement. It has been very accurate so far. We like the fact that the indoor and outdoor readings are in different colors.It is smaller than the previous one, but that's okay. It does stay lit at night, but it's not too bright. Good for a night time prowl! We're very pleased.

I am using this unit to display the temperature inside our home and the remote sensor to track the temperature in our outside Greenhouse which is about 20 feet from the base unit. This has worked thru the summer and winter reliably.The display is a good size and legible from across the room but the base unit is in our bedroom and is too bright at night even when set to low intenisty so I simply put a cover over it at night and all is well. Easy to use. I would like an additional sensor to measure the outside temp but this unit works for my needs.

Easily visible temp and humidity inside and out (which is great in sub-tropics). (Also shows today’s highs and lows of temp and humidity, but it’s quite small)Features colored, animated visual display of forecast: sunny, cloudy, rain, lightening. (Occasionally the weather display does not correspond with my current weather). Difficult to read time and date (too small for old eyes). Shows pressure and whether it’s going up or down, Shows animated phases of moon.Easy to read straight on or at an angle. It’s larger than I expected.The black in my light colored room doesn’t look good. I only wish I’d have had the option of white which I realized was available on Acu-Rite’s website 😢 and it was cheaper.This model does not work with WiFi. The outdoor sensor needs to be placed out of wind, weather and sun! So may interfere with accurate readings.

I bought a different brand and couldn't get it to connect so returned and picked up this model. Worked great right out of the box and appears very accurate. I would highly recommend if looking for basic outdoor info.

Works great and easy to read!

I have a hard time being able to read the screen without my glasses from a short 5 ft distance. Even with my glasses on I still have difficulty reading this as the numbers are so faint, and I can't read the time on the tiny upper line unless I'm right next to it (with my glasses on). The time read out is super tiny!To get the numbers on the display to be darker I have to stand up and be just above it for them to be darker, and if I go too high up them it's just a blur. So not an easy read display. I'm soooo disappointed in this, as I expected a crisp display with dark numbers making them easy to read.The display has 3 levels of brightness that you can adjust, but that doesn't affect the numbers very much (they don't get any brighter on high, and only slightly dimmer on low). The display stays on full time, unless you unplug it or the power is out, then you have to push a button on the top to read it. That all is nice, but I'd like to be able to turn the screen off at night.It does read the indoor and outdoor temp and humidity which is what I got this for, so it's not a totally dud, but close - hard to read screen is really bothering me, but not enough for me to go through the hassle of returning this.

I bought one of these for work several years ago, it wasn't the color version, but it lasted for many years and was as accurate as the National Weather Service for this area. Unfortunately, a strong wind took out the sensor and I was pretty bummed. I had to have another so I bought this one since it is colorful. It's much nicer and easier to read.

This is my 4th Acurite weather device. The other three are still working, some for as long as 12 years. The caveat though is that the outdoor temp/humidity sensors only last for about 4-5 years, even if they are kept protected from the elements. So that's why I now have 4 devices. Instead of just rebuying the sensor, I buy a whole new unit with updated capabilities. Hence this purchase. :)This unit has some updated capabilities-Auto time set and a button battery to maintain the time during a power outage with no batteries.The display has been updated somewhat from the older units but still suffers from limited off-axis visibility. (90 degrees horizontal and 45 degrees vertical). It's designed to be viewed from above the unit so the display begins to fade even when looking at it straight on, and disappears entirely when viewed from 15-20 degrees below the unit.The information on the display is easy to read and attractively displayed. So many inexpensive weather devices make your head hurt when reading the display.There's a 14 day learning period to get accurate forecasts so I can't comment on this particular product, but the other Acurite devices I have, have been pretty accurate overall.The unit was initially off about 4 degrees indoors and 2 degrees outdoors (measured against a professional weather station) but it can be calibrated so it's accurate. Many weather stations don't have this capability.Overall a decent temp and humidity meter, just wish it had a large field of view.
