Made in the U.S.A. and Worth the Investment
I was fortunate enough to be able to test several models, including simultaneous comparison. Kestrel weather meters are very well made and it is easy to see why the value is realized by paying more for the Made in the US than saving the money for the made in china models. The claim of "rugged" is accurate and the ability to take very sensitive measurements is fascinating. The accuracy of, for example, the temperature is seen in how temperatures change, even while going from the kitchen to the living room. The wind measurement, too, was very accurate and as other reviews pointed out, being able to have 3 measurements on one screen is a plus.Well made, highly accurate, fine scientific instrument. Even the barometer readings, while using the change in elevation from our local airport, where official readings are, to my location (significant changes in elevation) are precise.I spent time in an online Q and A with Kestrel before the purchase; they provide great customer service. Great product; great company.

An overlooked tool for amateur astronomers
I purchased the Kestrel 5000 Environmental Meter to provide accurate local readings for a portable astronomical observatory. It has proven well worth the expense, for with it I can record accurate measurements of basic environmental conditions pertinent to visual observation so that I can make the most out of future observing runs, and the barometer/hygrometer combination certainly helps with point forecasting. Also, the red back light ensures I won't ruin my dark adaptation. The addition of a weather vane mount will certainly help so that both direction and wind speed can be measured.

I like it.
My favorite feature is having one screen that will display 3 data points. I no longer need to switch screens to check if environmentals have changed.
