AcuRite 00592A4 Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Humidity Sensor

I had an older model AcuRite weather station that worked for years...until the outdoor sensor died. Since the old model was discontinued and AcuRite had no compatible sensors for it, I had to get this new one. (BTW, someone here said customer service was nonexistent. I contacted the company via their website and got a quick response, including which model would be a similar replacement for my old one.)The old model featured an atomic clock, which is supposed to sync to a radio signal. It only worked intermittently, so it wasn't particularly reliable; I often had to reset the time etc. manually, especially after changing batteries. This model has a backup battery built in so when you change the batteries it remembers the time, date, etc. settings -- much more convenient.BTW, the picture here of the base unit sitting on a table is misleading. It looks like the unit could easily fall over. Actually it comes with a plastic stand that the unit snaps into, which makes it quite stable. (See my picture.)I'm almost completely satisfied with this weather station. It provides the info I want on an easy to read display. I use rechargeable batteries in the base unit and haven't had to replace them in months. (A warning sign flashes on the display when batteries are low.) I only had to replace the standard alkaline batteries in the remote sensor once. The remote unit also has a very strong signal.I have only one quibble. The remote temperature/humidity readings went haywire last week -- said it was -27 degrees, in June. The signal indicator on the display was blank, showing no signal. At first I thought the remote sensor's batteries had died, even though I had replaced them less than two months ago. But when I checked them on a voltmeter they were almost fully charged; also putting in new batteries had no effect. Then I suspected something in the base unit must have failed. Hours later, I finally was about to contact AcuRite for assistance when I saw that the remote sensor was working again normally. It's still working over a week later. That's the only glitch I've had with the product, and I have no idea what caused it.Aside from that I'm completely satisfied.

Great product, It's good to know 24 hours a day what the actual temperature is in yard

The indoor "station" is a tasteful/handsome unit, giving lots of information, but the outdoor sensor starts giving widely wrong temperature readings after about 2 years. In Georgia, which has 4 seasons, sensor placed per manufacturer's instructions (i.e. out of direct sunlight, rain, etc.). Hence 4 and not 5 stars.

Have had it for over a year. I would buy it again. Accurate and does the job,

worked as advertised and inside temperature matched air conditioner thermostats

Pros: Provides accurate detailed information, from the indoor & outdoor temp to the current moon phase, has a backlight button for clearer reading in dark environments, can use multiple thermometers with one sensor, easy to readCons: NoneI originally purchased one of these from a big box store more than two years ago and I wanted another one for a different interior area near my patio door because of how detailed and clear the first one is. I couldn't find one anywhere until I was scrolling through Amazon one day and happened upon it. I ordered it immediately without hesitation. To my surprise, it picked up on the existing sensor that I already installed for my first thermometer so I didn't need to even install the sensor that came with this second one. Fantastic. I am very grateful to AcuRite for making such an awesome product that is like no other thermometer I could find both offline and online, this device is beyond easy to use and understand and the accuracy is unmatchable when comparing the temps with my infrared thermometer. I highly recommend this product to those who live in especially ever-changing climates where weather conditions can change overnight.

I have used other indoor/outdoor thermometers in the past (LLBean among others). This one has an easy to read, accurate readout as well as a decent range. Previous thermometers had to be hung in a partially sunny spot to make sure the indoor unit could pick up the signal. The range on this one is good enough that I was able to place the outside unit in a protected area that would not give me the wacky readings from sun exposure. I also like the indicators for whether the temperature and humidity are rising or falling and the moon phases are a nice bonus. I didn't rate the warmth because I really didn't understand what it referred to.

This is a good product, IF you are willing to replace the batteries in rapid succession......I don't need to know "what time it is" on a thermometer, but I like the accuracy of the temperatures. This has been a happy/ unhappy purchase, and considering the cost of the thermometer and the cost of the batteries, I realize that it is an "unhappy purchase".
