Just set up the Acurite 5 in 1. Had to unplug and remove batteries in both display and sensor and resync. the display unit lost signal with the sensor unit after 25 feet. All batteries were from a brand new package. Sending back.
Hello: I did some homework, prior to seeing your comparison video, and purchased the Acu-Rite Atlas 7-in-one unit. Love the features; but STILL having "a dog of a time connecting to my home/studio WiFi. Hopefully I will before your reply comment?
Is this video primarily for those who know absolutely NOTHING about Personal Weather Stations? Its ranking criteria must be solely based on affordability/cheapness alone. NOT accuracy, reliability, durability, expandability, customer support, as well as available replacement parts. Which ALL SHOULD be the criteria when making a video of this nature. Thus giving the viewer a more informed take-away. My guess is... this is why the Davis Vantage Pro 2 was ranked 5th. Due to it starting at a much higher price point than the $149.oo Acu Rite mentioned... And...as the expression goes..."ya get what ya pay for"... right!?? And yes, there are still PWS starting at a higher price point than the Davis Vantage Pro 2... But they are not in this video. Oh, and then there's this... The Davis Vantage Pro 2 is the No.1 preferred PWS for a lot of professional Meteorologists across the Country. And there is a reason for that. I am proud to say I've owned a Vantage Pro 2 for several yrs now. I would highly recommend it over any of the other 4 in this video. And another thing, My suggestion to ANY of you who are considering purchasing a PWS. Do your own research Read/watch customer reviews on the product as well as professional reviews. Note: When I say "professional" I mean people who actually know the ins and outs about the product based on tech specs and such.
i am fixing to buy a good weather station my 3 one as a mate of fact so i am tired of cheep junk i want a good one an so i have ben doing my home work & i have narrowed it down to my short list 3-4 that i like That is good quality like the davis & the ambient weather of good quality i think their is 1-2 more that are really good But i consider the acurite cheep junk as well as the (lacross i think) & (pretty much any thing walmart sells ) i have had several an all die within a year or so an to me thats cheep junk!..Thanks for the infio !
All stations apart from Davis Vantage Pro, don't have a fan aspirated radiation shield, therefore the temperature is no accurate in the sun. Bad choices!
This is the kind of info I came here to learn about, but all these videos seem to be just sales pitches for each of these items. It’s very disappointing.
Most stations that are designed to be in the sun have internal aspirating fans that move air through the product which allows fo accurate temperature readings in the sun
I'm honestly getting sick of videos like this that use a robot to speak. I couldn't take any of these reviews seriously partly due to it not being spoken by a human, but also because of the stock (or stolen?) footage used rather than videoing your actual testing.
Wait... you're placing Davis 5th but AcuRite first?? Doesn't make sense to me.

I've had several AcuRight stations and IMO the Davis Vantage Vue is hands down a better station.
Would help to quote prices for each one....

So hard to concentrate on this video with the awful music loop...
