Over the years we have had several different weather stations, this one is by far the best we have had. Very easy to assemble and use, looking forward to fully using this and would highly recommend this product.

I have only had the weather station for three weeks so cannot comment on long term reliability. Plus points: Clear instructions to set up Easy to read display Easy to connect to WeatherUnderground and Weather Cloud - and there's a helpful youtube video if you do get stuck. Comprehensive Monitoring Some minor negatives: Cable from mains adaptor is far too short The barometer was very inaccurate on my display - had to input a massive offset to correct Can only connect to the two weather sites mentioned above, and not other sites. Also you cannot download data locally Firmware upgrade instructions are poor and I haven't yet worked them out Overall Conclusion A great bit of kit for the price, but you need to be aware of the small limitations. Also to note - sales support was a little patchy - I had to chase by phone for the answer to a query.

Thank you so much for the 4 star rating, Paul! We appreciate your honest reviews on the weather station. We’re sorry you had to chase up your query, it’s possible that some of our support emails have been ending up in spam or junk folders and we’re looking into ways in which we can reduce that.

Comprehensive weather station, easy to set up basic functions. Screen is not a touch screen, buttons to select functions are on the edge, fiddly and difficult to see in low light conditions. To select some functions it does take many button presses making it hard to access whatever you need. Getting the monitor to access wifi and internet was not immediately clear or easy to do, but once set up seems stable and reports to the Wunderground network without problems. This brand is not listed by another network, so again hard to set up. However, so long as your primary interest is a stand-alone system it works well. The additional sensors all linked in seamlessly, and have a good range. Overall well worth considering if a touch screen isn't a necessity.

Very happy so far with the ACCUR8. Installation was very straightforward and the LCD panel looks good with plenty of information on it. Just need to set it up to the WIFI. Thanks Kevin

A quality weather station, well made with a clear bright colour display. Fairly straight forward to set up the Wifi and internet connection. Useful video on Youtube. No data storage on SD card as with previous station, but not essential for me. Recommended product + + + + + + +

In all for the price this is a very good weather station with a beautiful display and very easy to configure. After many years I now had to replace my Oregon Scientific WMR986 which I have had for 20 years but I can no longer get spares for it and all the sensors have now stopped functioning. The WMR986 I had connected to a Unix system and read the data via a serial cable to record and graph locally. The DWS7100 connects very simply to your 2.4Ghz network and uploads data to weathercloud and wunderground. But some negative points which are the reason I have not given 5 stars: - The DWS7100 connects once every minute to the wifi and does a DHCP request every time this happens and is otherwise unreachable so there is no way to extract data from it locally and create graphs etc programatically locally - I am dependant on wunderground and weathercloud. - Extra sensors eg the remote temperature/hygrometer are not recorded in wunderground and weathercloud so that data I can only read from the display when I am physically at home. - Probably not as important for most people these days but the station can not be configured with a static IP address and is only able to query predefined NTP servers (I have my own NTP server) - Although there is a firmware upgrade option on the console which is only reachable when I activate the wifi pairing - not from the IP address the weatherstation is using on my local network All in all though for an average user for the price this station is still good value.
