AcuRite (01089MCB) Self-Emptying Wireless Rain Gauge with Storm Alerting

The rain gauge on my old weather station quit registering. This fit perfectly on my old system so I cemented it in place and it works great. I received the first measurable rainfall this morning since installing it. It’s very easy to install and super easy to thumb back to look at different rainfall events ie..today’s, yesterday, this month, previous month etc..

This is an excellent product. Easy to set up,read and accurate.I was a staunch Oregon Weather Station person for years, but after having one for just 6 months and having different problems,it finally stopped completely.The company never acknowledged my email so I was out $90.This was not quite half that price.PLEASE,BUY THIS ONE!

I really like the simplicity of this little station and it's sensors seem to work properly without adjustments. I did buy a sun shield for the thermometer and that eliminated issues with direct sunlight. My only complaint is that the dew point reading switches to the heat index at >80 degrees. This is okay, but it doesn't compute the heat indeces correctly. This unit always reads much lower than the actual heat index numbers. I know my sensor is correct as it reads humidity correctly below 80 degrees (where I can see it). I'd much rather do away with worthless relative humidity readings (they really mean nothing to science people) and forget the heat index as well unless Acurite can do it properly. Otherwise, this is a good buy if you snoop for returns.

Easy assembly and setup. Don't have to do anything as it locates all devices automatically. Definitely recommend theAcuRite 01089M Rain Gauge with Thermometer & Humidity . I have placed the sensor in our tree which is over 200 feet away in the front of our house. The device in our house is in the kitchen at the very back oh house. works great. Don't purchase the La Crosse Technology 724-2310-INT Wireless Digital Rain Station with Temperature. You have to do to much to get it to work the one I purchased didn't work at all. It was returned. I was told it was mass produced and it happens.

I purchased this Acurite Rain gauge with thermometer and humidity, around August of 2020. It worked for a while and then started to give incorrect readings and I replaced all of the batteries. Seemed to work Okay; however, early December it stopped working, again. Decided to contact their Customer Service, started a long chain of e-mails with information what to do to "check it out". None of this by phone, by the way and a lot of time between e-mails.. Of course, what you all have experienced lately, blame the virus, blame the holidays, blame vacations or whatever else they could come up with. But, more e-mails now asking me to get new batteries (an imposition since I now had to go out and spend more money), send pictures of the 3 items and send them. Unfortunately, I'm not technically nor physically capable of going through any of their suggestions, which to me were more impositions. I don't do pictures and I have other things to do, such as care for a physically challenged wife. It's the worst experience I've encountered in a long, long time. My advice to anyone, buying anything from this company would be to find another provider. The item is junk and not worth the price. I'll move on to something else and chalk it up to bad choices on my end, and accept the loss of the purchase price. I believe that their procedure is arrogant and designed to wear out a dissatisfied customer. They want you to do all of the work for them. And, by the way, they told me that they don't repair, so they won't take it back, in any event. Thanks for reading and save your money!

This replacement of original purchase is not working as smoothly. Hard to connect rain catcher to base. Then when connected it does not always register the amount of rain. Also, the top for the rain catcher does not fit correctly. It’s as if it got misaligned somehow. But, the temperature gauge works great! My last one of this model worked great. This one acts like a knock off.

I bought this as a replacement for a recently purchased (and returned) Oregon Scientific RGR126N rain gauge. The O/S unit had a very inaccurate thermometer and the manufacturer did not respond to my inquiries about it. Back it went to Amazon. This unit is the same price and it works. It also remembers the time and all it's settings when you change the batteries. The temperature can be calibrated so it matches reality, unlike the Oregon Scientific RGR126N. It also measures indoor and outdoor humidity which the O/S unit does not. The memory for cumulative rain, daily rain, weekly rain etc. are great. There's even an alarm to let you know when rain starts so you can close your windows or whatever else you need to do to prepare for rain. I did have a reason to contact their tech support by phone and their US based people answered the phone promptly and quickly gave me the answer I needed. This unit is a great value by itself and both the product and the company are heads above Oregon Scientific

Very accurate rain gauge when compared to a manual glass tube type measuring device. I did have to calibrate my gauge when I got it. It was off by about 10% out of the box, but the calibration steps are included in the instructions.

Easy to install. Works great.

Great product this is my second acurite thoroughly recommend

Super! Llego a su debido tiempo y en excelentes condiciones. Super recomendable si quieres ver las condiciones actuales

Ran a calibration test on the rain gauge out of the box and it was off by only 0.1%. Indoors and outdoor temperature and humidity match perfectly at room temperature and humidity. Happy with it so far.

Nice display. Useful information. Setup easy. Waste of money. First set of Duracell batteries in rain gauge unit lasted 3 days. Changed batteries in all units to Lithium as recommended. Base station unit completely flattened these batteries in 12 days. All data is lost when you change batteries. Cost per year for main unit batteries would be around £175, then you would need batteries for other units, and would only ever have records of the previous 11-12 days. Trying with second set of Lithium batteries. Update 25th June 26. Second set of Lithium batteries dead after 10 days. Gonna chuck it in the bin.
