AcuRite Digital Weather Forecaster with Color Display (02098)

this is the second one I bought. the first one was so old and if I would have known it took batteries I could have just probably replaced those and it would have worked fine but my son hooked it up so I didn't know. and my son liked it so much I bought him one and had it sent to his house and it arrived earlier than expected great job Walmart. so actually I bought three. I highly recommend this product easy peasy to read, none of that Googly gob that you don't even understand what it means

this is a must have item if you care about the weather it is so cool to know the exact temp and wind mph right at your house not some weather station 25 miles away your getting real deal temps and mph with this unit uses a real 5-1 metering system that you put up outside and it responds back to your screen . super cool

This thing is fantastic! Had another one that was just too much trouble to get it set up properly and didn't have the convenience of the pole for installing it mount on my deck properly and making it easy to get it balanced correctly. I gave it 5 stars!

AcuRite 01529M Wireless Weather Station with 5-in-1 Sensor is made of two parts. One is for indoors which is a monitor and second part is for outdoors which is the weather station sensor. They are wirelessly connected to each other. Both devices should be placed within 330 feet in order to connect and if you follow directions it should be very easy to synchronize devices with each other. The 7-and-a-half-inch monitor that controls the sensors feels richer that it is. It runs on an AC adapter that is provided but it also has slots for batteries in case of a power outage. Screen is split into several categories for easy reading and understanding such as indoor and outdoor temperature, wind direction, speed, etc. It is very important that monitor is at least 3 feet away from TV or any other electronics in order to prevent interference. AcuRite weather station sensor comes with all hardware needed for installation. It is a very simple installation but it is very important that weather sensor is not obstructed from any side. In other words it should be clear of anything 360 degrees horizontally and vertically. On top of the weather sensor there is a solar cell panel that charges the station. There is also a rainfall collector that measures rain precipitation. In addition, there is a wind speed anemometer which measures the speed of wind. Wind speed anemometer needs 360 degrees of clearance for proper measure. On the bottom of the weather station there is a wind direction vane which also needs 360-degree clearance so that it can determine the exact side the wind is blowing from. On top of everything else it is also good to install it at least 5 feet or more from the ground if possible. Overall I think it is a very nice and affordable “private weather station” that measures the weather at your location. We will see how durable it is when it starts snowing.

It was a fathers day gift for my husband, he was soo excited. He immeditelly installed. It works perfect, and it is so convenient that is solar powered.

It was late! The Agent Sam helped tremendously! We got it Tuesday! My husband loves it! Catch him different times looking at it then gives me an update on weather etc! A great present!!!!

This weather station is the best. Great price an a real value for the money. I own 1, my parents own 1, my brother has 1 , an now my grandson owns 1. You want a great weather station, you need the Accurite 5 in 1.

We love it and the best thing of it to us is the mph wind report. Our home is on a hill and there is always a slight breeze blows. I would recommend it to anyone that wants the weather info.

The color versions of the AcuRite can only be seen clearly at a very specfic angle, the viewer must look straight on at it, unlike a color television screen that can be clearly viewed straight, up, down or side to side and that is a really annoying feature of this product. Otherwise it's a pretty nice Product. The most annoying thing is the non color version doesn't have this problem.

It's 37 degrees outside and it's telling us it's 66. Really? The signal range is a lie, must be right next to each other, which is literally impossible because the outside unit can't be next to your house or it will block the wind. Could not get the pair to synch right next to each other. Can't take it back because now we can't get it down. Complete junk. I'm so sad that I gave this to my husband for Christmas.
