    My AcuRite is really old, at least 8 years possibly older. Years of being in the elements (at first 25' up my antenna tower, now 22 stories up on my balcony railing) has worn down parts but I can always order a new piece instead of having to replace the whole unit.

    The wind cups literally blew off one winter storm and were quickly replaced but the bushings were squeaking and I couldn't get them quiet. Since we're in an apartment now, I didn't want the noise to disturb neighbours so bought this replacement which includes the improved solar panel.

    It was a quick swap out, works fine with our base station display. Recorded sustained 50 mph winds the other night. Living in an apartment it is great to have the weather at a glance because if we leave without the proper clothing, it is a long trip back up to change.

    Acurite has kept improving their product while keeping the new parts backwards compatible with my station. That reduces landfill waste and makes the product better value since it can be repaired instead of replaced.
