Title: Unreliable
Review: This was the 2nd Acu-Rite wireless rain gauge I've received as a gift. Each lasted less than one rainy season...spring thru fall. Each of them worked ok for about 3 months. I kept an old see-thru gauge to compare. The Acu-Rite was terribly inaccurate after 3 months. The official weather reporting station is only about 5 miles from my house so I felt confident our rain fall amounts should be similar. The Acu-Rite proved time and time again that it was Acu-Wrong. A few days ago we received .80 inch of rain. The Acu-Wrong reported .000 for 24 hours after the rain stopped. The next day the gauge read .36 inch of rain. The sending unit and receiving unit were approximately 20 feet from each other. The only obstruction was a sliding glass door. I have removed the new batteries and thrown the unit away.
