Extremely poor customer service

I bought this product about two years ago. Over the course of 6 months I noticed that the wind indicator was not working properly, meaning it was changing very slowly to show the correct wind speed and direction. After about a month the temperature sensor started to fail, ie it registered up to about 98 degrees and then froze, regardless of the outside temperature. Sometimes it restarted at night and is measuring correctly, if not accurately. About three weeks ago the device completely froze…

Pros
  • Best weather station for displaying complex weather conditions: pressure trend with trend arrow, heat index, dew point, touch temperature, etc.
Cons
  • There are defects

Take Care of the AcuRite

Replace. Although the station worked as it should, and worked flawlessly for two years, it had to be replaced. I bought a hub to connect my station. I liked the idea of monitoring the situation at home from the office and everything worked fine on both the Weather Underground and AcuRite websites. Then I get an email from AcuRite. The hub is being replaced with a newer model that can do more (awesome, I love advances in technology!) and if I want to keep seeing my stats online I'll have to buy…

Pros
  • Weather Clock: Large color LCD display with current time, date and adjustable dimmer, making it easy to read and view data, time, and indoor and outdoor conditions from multiple angles
Cons
  • Requires socket

Technical support is non-existent

The company that sold this product was absolutely right No complaints, it got to me and I would rate them five stars. However, the assholes at Acurite are incredible! The reason I ordered this unit was because my other one broke down after two years, it started reading 150° and 50° below zero, everything just started to fail. These idiots have decided to turn off their phones and everything on the internet including tech support questions and answers is utter nonsense. I'm having problems with…

Pros
  • Real-time weather: get indoor temperature and humidity, wind speed/direction, barometric pressure and precipitation straight to your home weather station
Cons
  • Some little things

Overall quality Very poor customer service Too bad.

Viewing angle of the display is not very good. The 5 in 1 sensor never worked properly and has been trying to fix the problem since August 2018. Chat agents (the only way to communicate) are trying to figure out how fast they can move on, rather than actually helping. Once they get confused, which is common, they interrupt you and you're back on hold for another 30 minutes. The sensor goes from full signal to no signal regardless of whether it is 1 foot or 40 feet from the display. After hours…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Unresponsive support for a low quality product line. Beware

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. Almost exactly a month later, none of the external sensors were working. I brought it in twice and it started working again. The first time we changed the batteries, changed the channel and reset, but it didn't work. After a week at the dinner table, it suddenly worked again. The second time he was inside for a few days before going back to work. I suspect it's because he gets wet, but that seems ridiculous. It's still covered by the Accu-Rite…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin

Good station but beware buyers

Like it BUT BUYERS BEWARE. The AcuRite Pro Color Weather Station is a simple yet full-featured home weather station that tells you everything you need to know about local weather. It's also fairly accurate, but there are a few issues directly related to the design itself that can cause problems. In this version, all components, temperature/humidity sensor, anemometer and rain gauge are combined in one unit. This makes it very easy to install and configure. The problem is that in order to get an

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
