Customer Reviews for AcuRite Color Weather Station

Great product. Good price. Easy to set up and use. On line order was easy and fast.

Plenty of information but not easy to read from more than 4 or 5 feet away. Perhaps too busy for the display size.

The product is easy to use, has an attractive display, and provides all the information I want in an easy to read format. I now have two so we have them at each end of the house. There was a small blip with one of them, and the customer service rep took care of it beautiful, she was professional, friendly, and solved the problem right away. Thank you!

no experience. I look at them to see what temp. is outside. That's all. The reason I only gave them four stars is because they never show the same temp. They're usually within 10 degrees, so at least I get the general idea of what the temp. is outside.

In my opinion the displays for the temperatures could be just a little bit smaller in the display for time could be larger. That is the only real problem with this you have to be right up on it to read the time!

Colorful display and easy to read

Hi, So far I like the product, but I do notice that the indoor thermostat reads 1-3 degrees higher than my thermostat on the wall (same room/location). Which then makes me wonder if the outside temp is accurate. If I follow the instructions to re-calibrate, I would need something reliable to recalibrate to. Do I need to purchase a mercury thermometer? Is my household thermostat (which was far more expensive than this one) off, or is a 1-3 plus/minus degree accuracy to be expected? Thanks--also, the forecast is for how many hours in advance? Thanks!

Gave this to my mom as a christma gift and she loves it!

Great product. I use it to check temperature and humidity several times each day.

I have an older indoor/outdoor thermometer, which is failing. This new one seems to work well. The two are often different by a degree or so. So who knows which is right? The battery backup doesn't seem to work, but that's probably user error.

the acurite is easy to use and easy to set up. it`s all i will buy.

The device I'm using is a replacement for one that stopped working. My experience with the customer service rep who assisted with the replacement order was excellent.

Works Great so far!!!

Purchased this for a family member for Christmas. Compact and nice display. It gives good information as far as temperature indoors and out. The weather forecaster accuracy is questionable, but even television weatherpersons are wrong quite often.

Temperature humidity sensor is the Achille's heel of the product I own. Suggest R&D development a more robust sensor. I would pay the extra cost.

Not much to say which is a good thing! It's a Xmas gift and set up took 5 minutes at most. Very accurate as well.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. Every monitored parameters are right on, and the weather forecasts have been very precise almost right out of the box, in less than 2 days. There can, of course, be some differences between the local TV weather channel and your backyard, but that is absolutely normal. For example, I live in a 6-storey building, so temperature and humidity will obviously be slightly different on my 60-foot-high balcony than in a field 2 miles away. Thirteen different nice looking icons provide pinpoint details on the next 12-24 hours weather to come. Yes, the viewing angle could be considered as somewhat narrow by some users, but that's the nature of LCD technology, not at all a default or a design flaw. It's perfect when viewed slightly from below eye level, like on a desk, kitchen counter, living room table, wall, etc. The vivid colours and the 3-level background lighting are wonderful. Be aware that in order to use the background lighting on a long-term basis, the use of the provided power supply is mandatory. As an awesome added feature, this model (along several other ones) allows the measurements to be calibrated, which adds even more precision to the readings and forecasts. How nice! For me, the only thing missing is the names of the days (Mon, Tue, Wed, etc.), not only the dates. I would absolutely buy another one and I highly recommend it!

2nd product I have owned from AcuRite. Love it.

Exactly what we expected - very well pleased

wanted a battery operated not a battery back up unit!!

This is an accurate product but I wish it were brighter so that it would be more readable. It wasn't any problem to set up, but it isn't lit brightly enough to be easily readable.

Had some difficulty setting to our area. It is a little small for easy viewing but very nice over all.

Luv the color display and info it displays also. We would luv to have it display "all time" high & low temps.

The back is curved so it you try to hang it on the wall, with the provided hole, it points up which makes the screen impossible to read. Back needs to be flat or an adapter made available.

I like this unit much better than the monitor in the 5 in 1. It is clearer and has more information available.

My wife absolutely loves it. The display is bright and clear. It is also surprisingly accurate forecasting the weather (not perfect - we still watch the weather forecast on TV). I like how it indicates the trend in temp & pressure.

This station is my second one, same type, within the past five years! This one just purchased was for upstairs living area as my older one is located in downstairs living area, basement. I use "AA" Alkaline at 4 each display unit and outside transmitters, I only use 'AA' lithium batteries@2 each for adverse uncontrolled environment. I usually change these about once a year. I can get a bout two-3 years out of the display unit batteries. Both units provide fine service to me as I'm a weather freak....

Only wish the display didn't need to be plugged in.

I bought several items over the Christmas holidays and this is the by far the best purchase that I made, I have confidence that it will please us for many years to come.

Without windows in my home office, I no longer have to think about what the weather is doing; with the AcuRite Color Weather Forecaster with Moon Phase, the weather and moon status is just a glance away.
