Review: Great features and easy to install - I bought this to replace an old LaCrosse "weather station" that the outside sensor finally stopped working on. Granted it was probably 10 years old so it had definitely proved it's worth. I did a fair bit of research before deciding on this model as I was concerned about the size of the sensor unit and unsure what would be the best mounting option. I can happily report that the overall size of the outdoor unit isn't as big as I was expecting so it's certainly not intrusive looking. I also wasn't about to get anything that required mounting 30 feet off the ground! First I really don't have a place in my yard that would work for that kind of mounting and I wasn't about to start installing a separate mounting pole anywhere. Not to mention the concerns for general maintenance of the outdoor unit if it was mounted somewhere totally out of reach. I do have a 10 X 12 deck attached to my house so I mounted the outdoor sensor on the deck post that was at the farthest corner with the most open area away from the house and it works great! Due to the construction of the house it just happens that the mounting spot is on a northern exposure area. I have a good sized but not huge back yard and I do live in town so there's really no place with a totally unobstructed mounting place since there are other buildings and trees within 50 feet. The total height off the ground is maybe 6 feet max but that's not affecting the accuracy at all. Overall installation was a breeze. It maybe took 10 to 15 minutes total to put it together, mount the outdoor unit and plug in the indoor display. No muss no fuss, it started working immediately! Super impressed by the ease of set up! The "feels like" and wind chill readings are spot on with what the weather service reports for my area and those are the readings I was most intrigued by. I live in a northern climate where wind chill is a big deal in the winter. The temp reading is extremely accurate. The only precipitation we've had since I installed it are snow and sleet and I have't been super diligent about cleaning out the rainwater collection bin so I can't really say how accurate it is yet but it has given me a reading of total rainfall so I'm assuming it's working fine. The only real suggestion I have for the indoor display is to consider wall mounting it. The base isn't super sturdy and mine fell off the counter causing a corner of the display that fits in the slot of the counter base to break off. The piece that broke is clear so it's not an issue looks wise and the fall didn't affect the performance at all so I'm not knocking any stars off the review but please do be aware that the counter top may not be the best mounting option if you have kids or pets that could knock it off.
Review: Love the product - Out of the box, the indoor display was not working properly as it was not displaying numbers properly. Some of the segments that make up the number to be displayed did not light up on 3 of the display panes. I called AcuRite, explained the problem, they told me to take pics of the display malfunction and send to them and they would take care of it. within 3 days I had a new one that worked perfectly and did not have to return the original one. Love the product. Was easy to set up and so far the rain amounts are right on, without calibration !! I have had it about 2 months and so far has not missed a beat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great most of the time
*by A***R on February 14, 2023*

Works very well most of the time. The only problem I see is that when the wind speed gets up around 30 mph or faster it registers rain fall when there is none. This is not a problem unless you are looking at monthly or yearly rain fall accumulation which is way off because of anfew windy days recording 4 or 5 inches of rain when there was actually none on that day. Here in southern Arizona in a year you may have more wind reported as rain than actual rainfall at the end of the year.
