    AcuRite 01078 Wireless Weather Station with 2 Displays and 5-in-1 Weather Sensor: Temperature and Humidity Gauge, Rainfall, Wind Speed and Wind Direction

    • We had a lesser model but after three years the outside unit stopped working.
    • I would highly recommend this unit.
    • I have only had the unit a couple of weeks and it has by far exceeded my expectations
    • I had a cheaper Acu-Rite unit that only lasted a couple of years
    • About three weeks ago the unit froze up entirely and would not function
    • The unit works as advertised
    • Great unit,does everything stated in the ad
    • I had this unit about 8 months and it worked great - although the weather forecast was mostly incorrect; everything else worked fine and was accurate enough for our use
    • Excellent Unit, Easy to set up
    • Unfortunately I recommend avoiding this product!Update: The sender outside unit has failed to even read temperature right.
    • Now, since I have two base stations, I do not know whether I should just buy another or get a better unit.
    • With one exception good unit
    • The unit is easy to read from all angles and up to a distance of 15 feet away
    • The indoor unit looks like a small TV set, and it's dimmed to the dimmest setting, yet still it is too bright for me
    • Had an old unit for about two years and loved it
    • Likely because the sun warms the remote unit before there is enough light striking the solar panel to turn internal fan on
    • Awesome unit; but after about 18 months - outdoor humidity reads 99% and never changes.
    • Nice unit, plan on using AC power for the base.
    • This is a very nice unit.
    • The unit worked as advertised
    • I love this WeatherStation it seems to be very accurate, I checked with my local WeatherStation cannot asked for a better display, an a better unit for the price.
    • I strongly recommend this unit.
    • I wish I had done more research and bought a better unit
    • The unit needs to be placed in the open so that both the wind gauge and the rain gauge will work properly.
    • I sent the first unit back for replacement at Amazon, and the second unit worked perfectly for a week
    • Acurite customer service is as bad as the unit itself
    • My unit never worked properly
    • Outstanding unit!
    • My unit works great except the Previous Events does not work to keep track of total rain to date.
    • I highly recommend this unit to any one who wants to own their own weather station.
    • Very nice unit.
    • This actually replaced a more expensive and better known unit that died to the severe elements in my salt beach area,
    • Another unit I tested by a different manufacturer was not good.
    • Nice unit very easy to set up .
    • Awesome is all I can say, this unit is great!
    • My unit is accurate at night when it's not in the sun, however, in the daylight hours it is consistently 6 to 12 degrees off.
    • The indoor unit looks like a small TV set, and it's dimmed to the dimmest setting, yet still it is too bright for me
    • I added the improved solar power unit and have noticed improved daytime temperature accuracy.
    • Unfortunately I recommend avoiding this product!Update: The sender outside unit has failed to even read temperature right.
    • A wealth of information is displayed and the sending unit is working like a charm giving us much needed rainfall information, windspeed etc.
    • Then I woke up one morning and the unit had gone dark and was no longer receiving information from the outside unit.
    • The unit seems to work great for the 5 minutes it's actually connected
    • Other than having to compensate for an erroneous outdoor temperature reading, I like the units.
    • One point of interest is the sending unit is fully compatible with the old unit so now I have one sending unit talking to two displays also excellent
    • This unit has been working great ,very nice display and easy to read all the data at a glance.i highly recommend .
    • This unit has worked excellently for the 2 months since installed.
    • Once our last unit quit working, I began searching on Amazon and came across this incredible home weather station, with all the bells and whistles on it, including rainfall amounts (it empties itself) and outside unit is solar, no need for electricity
    • their CSR acknowledged they get alot of complaints about the humidity reading issueBasically if you live in the pacific northwest or other non sun states the outdoor unit ( regarding humidity/dew point / Feels like readings
    • After just over a year, the outdoor unit has failed
    • Was promptly given credit by Amazon and decided an additional monitor at $80 wasn't worth it, but unit is so nice I'm
    • I contacted customer support at AcuRite to see if the unit could be rebooted but their suggestions failed.
    • As long as the unit keeps working, I am happy with it
    • This would be a great unit if they could ever get the outdoor thermometer to work correctly
    • I like the display unit and easy setup
    • This is a real nice unit, I really like the rain gauge
    • I was also told to reorder the new unit from AcuRite directly so that they could "free of charge," 'add a sealant coating to the board!!!
    • The new unit that I purchased supposedly has a replaceable humidity sensor when it fails again so I will not have to purchase a completely new unit.
    • Recommend the color receiving units, have one in our bathroom and it doubles as a nightlight
    • Overall we have found the unit to be mostly accurate in all of the readings it takes
    • It is an easy unit to use
    • Unit is constantly losing the connection from the outside to the inside unit.
    • Unfortunately, the outside unit totally failed after only one winter (about a year after purchase).
    • Solar powered, easy to setup, single piece outdoor unit and mobile device access - what's not to love?I had the unit up and running for personal use in roughly 45 minutes, not counting selecting a place to mount the device outdoors (that was the hardest part)
    • I've had way cheaper units have A LOT better connectivity
    • So, the unit is essentially useless for temperature readings.
    • Overall, I would really recommend this unit!
    • Overall this is a good unit for the price that you pay for it
    • I enjoy the unit when it is working and it seems to be accurate
    • The unit is fairly accurate after sunset and at night
    • More up to date, and more local, than we'd get via radio!The outside unit looks like a boat with a rudder and propellors
    • I'm not a serious weather addict, but I can recommend this unit.
    • Set the unit up per the instructions on a 6' 4x4 post and it works wonderfully.
    • Unit is sturdy, install was easy, connection was easy, and very happy customer.
    • Good unit covers a lot
    • I've always found mine to be very accurate, and in line with much more expensive units in my area, including the local airport station not far away
    • I will trash this unit and never do business with them again!!
    • I like the unit otherwise, but it's just not acceptable having one of the primary functions so inaccurate.
    • Accurite fix the temp sensor and you will have a great unit as matter of fact in the price range you could have the best unit hands down
    • This is a great unit for the casual weather observer or for people who just want to know what the conditions are inside and out.
    • This unit, so far, has worked perfectly
    • I really like this unit which works flawslelly except for the temperature gauge!
