AcuRite02059M Digital Thermometer with Indoor and Outdoor Temperature,White

Accurate and super easy to read large numbers.

Very fast shipping. Excellent product.

This review is for the AcuRite Model 02059M Digital Thermometer.I bought this model to replace my older AcuRite model 00771 pictured on the left in photos, which is similar to the model 00754. I have used the older model for approx. 12 years, and 2 months ago the base (indoor) unit developed the problem of not maintaining the signal connection with the outdoor sensor, I replaced the batteries in both the outdoor sensor and base unit, and switched both the sensor and the base unit frequency setting from "A" to "B", but that did not remedy the problem.From the photos you can see that BOTH the Model 02059M and the older model are displaying the same time and temperatures since being placed into side-by-side operation upon delivery of the new Model 02059M on 20 January 2024. BOTH models are receiving the outdoor signal from the old sensor of the Model 00771 which was purchased approx. 12 years ago, the outdoor sensor is placed only approx. 14 feet from both indoor units. The old model base unit is still exhibiting intermittent loss of the signal from the outdoor sensor, but the new 02059M model has maintained the signal connection continuously as expected.ACCURACY ?? - EXCELLENT, the displayed indoor temperature of both AcuRite models matches the 71 DEGREES of the mercury Fisher Scientific Thermometer displayed in the two photos, the outdoor temperature of 34 DEGREES matches the reading on a very old Taylor brand 8-inch glass tube thermometer just 2 feet away from the sensor unit, the Taylor unit has been verified to match the readings of the Scientific Thermometer over the entire range of its graduated scale from -15 to +115 F degrees.STAR RATING ?? - I only gave the AcuRite 02059M model a 4-star rating since it uses 3 AAA-size batteries versus the 3 AA-size batteries of the older model, but my reasonable expectation is for the AAA's to last at least 1-year. Just a shame AcuRite didn't design the plastic casing to accommodate the larger AA-size batteries which are my personal preference in this type of device. I will upgrade my star rating to 5-stars next year, IF I have determined that the alkaline AAA batteries perform to my expectation !!

A good quality system.

Easy to set up and maintain. I bought one in 2018 and the sensor has endured getting blown off its hook soaking wet, frozen in ice and snow. Just plain suffered immensely and held up like a champ. I’d dry it out ,new batteries and it bounced right back. 6 winters and steamy,wet summers the sensor finally died not owing me a thing. I’ll say this is a very durable unit, and didnt think twice buying another identical thermometer.The indoor monitor has simple, attractive display with a small footprint. Money well spent

I replaced a smaller version of this one that worked great for several years. The outside unit is mounted out of the sun and rain on the north side of the house, and sometimes displays the proper temperature. But other times (like now) it reads10-12 degrees too high, based on local weather information. For example it's displaying 85 as I write this when the actual temperature is 72. But tomorrow at this time it might be accurate. The inside temp reading always seems to be right. Ha, just as I wrote this, the displayed temperature dropped to 73! And all I did was pick up the outside unit and set it back down. I'm not sure what to do here since I've had it for a few months and it probably can't be returned. The display is very easy to read from across the room, so it has that going for it. If only I could get some consistency out of it. I'm giving it only one-star because it doesn't work reliably. Could easily be a four-star product.Update: Well, the problem is definitely caused by the outside sensor literally taking hours to respond to a temperature change. I can bring it inside and set it next the the inside display/sensor, and it takes several hours to go from, let's say 95 degrees, to 76. The smaller version I used in the past would respond in just a few minutes. What this means is on day that begins at 80 and goes up to 100, the outside sensor is still showing only 90 several hours after the temperature has gone up to 100. Guess I'll have to find another vendor. Kind of a shame because the display is big and bright.

This was a replacement for the same model that lasted me over 15 years of continuous service. It's the first thing I check in the morning and it's always accurate. It even tells me when the batteries are getting low so I can change them. I like the price and the service and would buy again.

Large numbers are very easy to read, we now have 6 of these, but one reads 3° higher even side by side, so will be sending it back for exchange. All work off one outdoor sending unit. The high and low function does not work, and I can't set the time, so I just remove the batteries at 11:59 and then put them back in. I sure would like to see high and low
