Dissatisfied with customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Called on 1/31 to inquire about a replacement part. Was referred to a site that wanted to charge me a dollar to answer a stinking question. What kind of lame *** crap is that ?? Has Covid 19 affected your company that bad that you have to charge your customers to answer a question about your products !? Have you installed pay toilets for your employees too ?

New product to register

This is the third Acu-rite weather station I have bought, over five years. I like having a weather station. It seems just after the one year warranty expires, so does the senor. I put in and test new batteries. I want to register my new 01528. Invoice no.161245****DXK

I purchased an Accurite Rain Gauge Station from Amazon. I had a couple of simple questions about it since it apparently was malfunctioning. Went to Chaney Inst .com and got a chat line then explained my issues. Was told in the chat box to go to another web site and pay to get customer service that could answer my question.

How about reading the documentation, Cheney has not owned Acurite for years. Go to www.acurite.com Easier to *** I guess than to actually Google Acurite.

Unreliable weather devices, worthless Tech Support!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I've had TWO Acurite Weather Stations, a 3-in-1 and now a 5-in1 Weather Station Pro with dual solar panel upgrade to the Sensor module. The first unit FAILED (died) in 14 months, the second $200+ system has stopped transmitting weather data to Weather Underground in only 20 months of ownership. You CANNOT CALL Acurite, they have no Support phone number, finding live Chat is like looking for Space Aliens. Their support when you finally connect is worthless, you may as well be conversing with some idiot in the Phillipines reading a 3-ring service binder. They have NO ability to diagnose any issue and fix it other than to tell you to "Reset the Unit" which DOES NOT FIX ANYTHING! You should NEVER consider buying any Acurite Weather Stations, they are made in China and are GARBAGE!

Innaccurate readings

I have 3 stations. A 01515D1A2,a 00510SBL and a 02043. The 02043 and the 00510SBL give me inaccurate readings. Right now I have the batteries out of thye remotes and both displays are showing 94 degrees. Both are mounted in shade and about 50" apart. Batteries out about an hour. The 5 in one seems to be accurate. Any thoughts?

Good equipment but horrible support

I purchased a 5 in I weather sensor in july 2019. When the rainguage quit working I opened the unit and cleaned out the cob webs. At that time I noticed there was a small spring that appears to be connected to two different printed circuit boards. The spring was only connected two one board and one end was just hanging loose. what is thiks doing to my station?

Have three Acu>Rite products and am unable to contact "anyone" to answer a couple of very simple questions that are not even covered in their instruction manuals. No phone, total lack of customer service both online and email.

What a way to run a company that once was a good company.

Will never buy or recommend Acu>Rite products to anyone ever again. Hope someone from the company reads this....???
