AcuRite 02043 Digital Thermometer with Indoor Outdoor Temperature Black

For me, this replaces an AcuRite unit I've had for many years. That unit was small but reliable and reasonably accurate, although not as accurate as the new one. The old one could be difficult to see under any lighting conditions that were not ideal, and that's why I decided to get the new one. This new unit has larger number and is readable from a distance under most lighting conditions. In addition to the inside and outside temp readings, it maintains a history -- and it cycles through this history without having to figure out any menus or buttons. I'm happy to say there are no menus or buttons except for one on the back to choose F or C and another to clear the history -- nothing to do but press and hold. Then the history recording starts over. I like that the display does not bother with tenths. It shows a whole number and doesn't waste display space on tenths. Do I really need to know whether it's 78.2 or 78.6? I'm happy with 78! Both the display and the remote sensor have a quality feel and look like premium products. As for accuracy, I am running this next to a unit made by Ambient. The remote sensors for both are outside within a few feet of one another. The displays are inside and also within a few feet of one another. Both units display exactly the same temps consistently. There are a lot of thermometers on the market these days. I think this AcuRite unit is the best as a basic temperature indicator. Read more

I love this device! I don’t need an indoor temperature but you just hang this outside anywhere and it gives you an accurate temperature from any room in your house Read more

It is small. But it is working. And takes less room on the table. Does not give the time like my old one. Read more

Excellent thermometer. Nicely molded parts. Everything needed was in the box. No issues with connectivity. Easy to read display. Great price. No complaints!!! Read more

This has been in use in our 'heated' garage, 15 yards from the house, all through the spring and summer. The signal has been penetrating two standard wood/sheet rock/insulation filled walls and hasn't missed a beat. It's accurate and a breeze to set up. Read more

I have several outdoor weather stations including Ambient Weather's newer 5000 series system and an older Acurite weather station that the rain gauge finally failed after 10 years, but that otherwise continues to operate. I have an indoor sensor for the Ambient Weather system that was discoverable by the base unit but is not picked up by the base unit when the sensor is placed in a wine refrigerator about 30 feet away, through several plaster (not sheet rock) walls, even though another AW sensor placed outdoors about 50 feet away is picked up fine. Rather than buy-and-try more Ambient Weather sensors, and having had good luck with Acurite weather stations, I bought this unit for the sole purpose of having a remote monitor for my wine refrigerator. It works perfectly. I have the sensor in the wine cooler and can pick up the signal with its base unit, even when I place the base unit right next to the Ambient Weather base station that could not pick up its own sensor. I have not yet been able to conclude which of several sensors and thermometers I have is the most accurate, but the Acurite appears to be off by a degree or 2 as compared to several others (that do not necessarily agree with others either). However, it is very consistent. Unfortunately, unlike the [vastly more expensive] AW sensors/base unit that tracks and records temp fluctuations throughout the day, this Acurite has no such capabilities except for a min/max for the day. But that's all I really need and expecting more from such a lost cost system is unrealistic, so I'm giving this an overall rating of 5 stars, and strong recommendation. Read more

Program easy. Synced well. Easy to read. Compared to 2 other thermometers tested in the same location and phone app, the AcuRite is not accurate. It differs by 3 to 5 degrees. Read more

accurate, plus nice features Read more
