AcuRite 02007 Digital Weather Station

Ordered this item after reading the reviews. All reviews had their own point of view. Delivery was OK, but could be faster. Item was well packed. Set up was instant. Reception was perfect,from poolside to kitchen. The intelli clock did not set so I set it manually. I think it has now received the atomic signals and is keeping excellent time. The pressure,humidity And temperature readings are as accurate as possible in this type of instrument. Internal temp. Is off by one degree, external about 1.5 degree. I have many battery weather stations.This one has the display on 24 hrs. I do not keep it at the bedside but in the kitchen so I can see it most times and first thing when making my hot drink in the morning. The display has a limited viewing angle but I am able to see it from at least 10 ft. wearing spectacles. I have not put batteries in the display unit because a power outage will mostly be due to stormy weather,here in Florida, which I can see from the window. In my experience the sensor batteries should always be lithium,especially in colder areas. Should last about a year but I am expecting less because the remote is collecting more data. The forecast is very accurate at this time. Also, this is the only weather station that has three stage weather forecasts- immediate 4 hours, next 4-8 hours and 8-12 hours. The bar chart is very attractive, just as the brightness . The only thing missing is the moon phase which would make the display even more informative. The bar chart can be changed from displaying pressure to temperature and humidity. Very interesting to see the differences between day and night. I have had it about 2 weeks. Hope it keeps on going but from experience I know all this class of instruments do not last.These home use weather stations are never as accurate as professional ones, but then, look how competitive the price is! I plan to take one to England to see how it performs in more extreme conditions. Will update if possible.
