AcuRite 01089M Rain Gauge with Thermometer & Humidity

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..

Very accurate rain gauge when compared to a manual glass tube typemeasuring 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.

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.

Excellent Item!!! The AcuRite 01089M Rain Gauge with Thermometer & Humidity is a must have item. Nice, easy to follow instructions, as well as easy setup. Accurate indoor/ outdoor Temp and Humidity -and- always showing outdoor Dew Point. Dew Point, more than anything else will tell you how comfortable or miserable it feels outside.The rain gauge is very easy to setup and and keeps track of daily, monthly and yearly rainfall. This is a very nice system and I highly recommend it.

We are on our third try with this item and so far none of them has worked! I had a La Crosse model that worked great for 3 years, but it wore out and they weren't making that model any more, so I switched to this one. It sets up pretty easily, but never recorded rain for us. We dinked around with it until after the return period passed, so we contacted customer service. To their credit, they sent us a new replacement. That one got stuck on the temperature reading--it was 82 degrees night and day. So they sent us a third replacement, which also doesn't work. I'm about ready to give up. The other thing I don't like about this is that it seems overly complicated. I just want to know what the temperature is outside and how much rain I got, but this makes you cycle through records to the extent you don't know whether you're looking at current data or not. I am going to go back to looking at the La Crosse models and may just have to give up on this model. At least they sent us replacements, but really, why should they have to send three of them that don't work? Do they know they have a quality problem? AccuWrong is more like it.

The rain meter works fine, as does the indoor temperature, but the outdoor temperature is always way off, sometimes up to 15 degrees. I have the sensor hanging five feet off the ground in constant shade area under an awning that has good air flow. I tested with other thermometer set right next to the sensor, and it is way off. I tried calibration per the instructions, and it started reading too low. It's just not accurate at all. Wouldn't recommend this if you need that outside temp reading, and honestly you could by the next model down from the same company for significantly less and just put an old school thermometer on the wall. Pretty disappointed.

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

It seems that nothing man made lasts forever as what happened to my previous rain gauge. So after surfing the net for a replacement, I came across this weather station that had favorable reviews. I purchased it and am glad I did. With displaying the indoor and outdoor conditions, it pretty much tells me all I want to know. The rain collector more likely as not comes within a few hundredths of the local airport. I highly recommend this Acurite 06042M. It Works!

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.
