AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Weather Station for Indoor and Outdoor Temperature and Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction, and Rainfall with Digital Display (01512M)

Setup was easy, it looks good and seems to work fine. The inside console is a big step up from what we are used to. The size of the numbers and color coding of the data make it attractive, and the important data are easy to read. The little ‘weather ticker’ at the bottom of the screen is not easy to read unless you are close and get the light just right, but most of its information is historical so it is not critical to have at a glance. My only quibble is with the way it reports changes in barometric pressure. The barometer itself works fine, but the little arrow to indicate direction of change does not. Barometric pressure changes are reflected in the forecast pictograph, but I would prefer to see the arrow pointing up or down to help me plan for the day. All in all, at this point we are pleased and hope it lasts.

Wow this station is nice! Very easy to set up and works perfect, love the weather present and history ticker on the bottom nice touch but the best part is I got it for a buck 9 black Friday. If you looking for a station that you can trust this is the one, well designed and a quality build, paired in seconds not like that Sainlogic JUNK that doesn't work. I thought my last station was nice but AcuRite blows that one away, AcuRite is now my Go To for weather related items.

I love this! It works very well and is quite affordable. I’ve been interested in a weather station for a a while now and while researching options, I kept coming back to this one. As a beginner to this sort of thing I found it was extremely easy to setup. The temperature, wind, speed and rain gauge were all accurate right out of the box and I do appreciate how you can calibrate the rain gauge if it’s not accurate. The display is easy to read however in the dark you can’t see the blue on the screen but after a while you really don’t need that. And connectivity is amazing as well. I have it across my house and the signal is still strong throughout having to go through multiple walls and across a large yard. Over all its designed really well and would highly recommend.

Nice little basic unit, with a few extra features. Seems well engineered, manufactured and reasonably accurate. I like the outdoor humidity data, wasn't expecting that. The only downside, if one could call it that, is the wind speed info. Due to the slow refresh rate, you'll only get an accurate reading in a prolonged, steady, wind. Otherwise, the indicated wind velocity is wildly inaccurate...and on the slow side. Forget about gust readings, the unit is too slow. To be fair, however, wind speed at this price point is a nice little "extra". This unit meets expectations, for me.

This weather station works great and was super easy to set up!

Great product, user friendly. I bought this for my husband, he absolutely loves it. Wind speed, rain, temperatures....spot on.

I’m head over heels about my new Acurite weather station (model 06016)! Several years ago, I bought an earlier model (same sensor but old display), and it became an integral part to enjoying our yard. But after neglecting to clean it of bugs and debris last year, I decided to brush it off outside then ‘deep clean’ it over my kitchen sink. Big mistake. Because as hard as I tried not to, some water did get up its underside, which as the manufacturer warned, could destroy its sensors. Sure enough, water must have gotten up it because after minutes upright to drip dry, the solar panel fogged up and it stopped transmitting to the monitor. Losing it was like loosing internet access! I grieved my loss, had only myself to blame, then decided to move on. Fortunately, the new sensor has the same exterior design, and fit right onto my universal pole, and like my prior, without the bracket. I did save the bigger set screw my prior had to secure the new one. BTW, the new station’s bag of hardware is hidden inside the battery compartment (Amazon directed me to Acurite’s website, which says it would be). It turned out, I didn’t need any of it for my installation. The monitor is big, intuitive, and easy to set up. Its data is more informative, including notches for the two previous wind directions, and its ‘weather select’ feature (I love that I can set it to display wind chill)! Photos show old and new.

I like it, BUT BUYER BEWARE. The AcuRite Pro Color Weather Station is a simple, yet complete home weather station that will tell you everything you need to know about your local weather. It is pretty accurate too, but there are some issues that are directly related to the design itself that can create problems. That design places all of the components, temperature/humidity sensor, anemometer and rain gauge all together in a single unit. This makes it really easy to install and setup. The problem is that in order to get an accurate wind speed and direction, it needs to be set up high--placing it in the sun, Direct sunlight heats up the temperature sensor resulting in a reading that may be 10-15 degrees too high. The solution is to have a small fan, powered by a solar cell, blow outside air onto the sensor. The system works pretty good too, but there seems to be problems with the fan motors. Mine came with an inoperative fan. Checking the forum on the AcuRite website suggests that these fans sometimes run for several months (or less, like right out of the box) and then quit. Face with a brand new station that didn't work, I could either return it to Amazon or contact AcuRite and give them an opportunity to replace or repair it. Based on what I read in the forums, it seemed like their customer support was aware of the fan issue and was good about replacing them. I chose to give them a chance. I emailed Chaney Instruments' customer support and got an automatic response saying someone would respond within 3 business days. Two days later I got some troubleshooting steps which I finished on the same day, and responded. It took another two days for Chaney Instruments to respond back, asking me to send verification of purchase and dates. I again responded on the same day and am still waiting for their response. It seems that it always takes them at least 2 business days to respond to anything. I eventually did receive a response, after another 5 days saying they were going to replace my solar cell and motor with an upgraded unit, but it might be 4-6 weeks because they were back ordered. So, the bottom line: I like the station, and would really like it if it gave an accurate temperature reading. Without a working fan, that isn't going to happen. If you buy this station, be prepared to eventually have to replace the fan--possibly as soon as you open the box. If you choose to go through customer support, be prepared for a couple of weeks to get anything done. My advice would be to return it to Amazon if it arrives broken. You don't need the aggravation that I'm experiencing. Better yet, consider buying on the the stations that separate the anemometer and the temperature sensors. They might take a bit longer to setup, but you have the option of placing the temperature sensor in a shaded, protected area out of direct sunlight. Update: It has now been 6 days since I submitted the info that Chaney Instruments requested, and I have heard nothing more from them. Second update: Still haven't heard anything for over a week. I'm dropping my review to a single star since if you buy one that is broken, or if it becomes inoperative after a few weeks, customer service from the company is not at all responsive. Last update I'm going to do. The company did fix my station by sending me a new fan/solar cell which is still running as of May 2017. In the last 6 months, my rain gain seems to be stuck and no longer records rain. Maybe since I live in southern California, and we get so little rain, the buckets are just dirty, but I have tried to clean it without making a difference. On hot days, the temperature is about 2 degrees hotter than it should be, but the fan is still running, so at least that has continued to run normally.
