Product review (5 stars): Recommended
I'm really happy with my AcuRite unit. I had an unexpectedly hard time finding the right place to put the outdoor sensor. I didn't want it against the house because of possible reflected heat, I didn't want to put it someplace where it would ever be in direct sunshine, and I needed someplace that would be somewhat protected from rain and wind, but not too enclosed. I ended up putting a nail on a nearby tree, on a side that never got direct sunlight, and cut up a plastic water bottle to kind of hang over the top so that the sensor was protected. Then I attached the whole thing to the nail by a bread tie, which has worked out well. I feel the unit is accurate, and the indoor part has much larger numbers and is easier to read than my old one. One thing I was looking for is a thermometer that would also tell me the outdoor humidity, which isn't as common as you would think. This one does.
