AcuRite 02345 8-Inch Rain Gauge & Thermometer Swivel Combination

I like being able to read from 10 feet or so away. I also like the rain gauge combo. An issue, and this shouldn’t have been a surprise, the temperature reading is way off on the high side when the sun is hitting the thermometer, and it is just something to understand. Still, it is an attractive, practical product.

STOP LOOKING THROUGH THE PAGES OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF AMAZON.COM RAIN GAUGES AND BUY THIS ONE.I make an effort to always check reviews before buying nearly anything. Even something as simple as a rain gauge. The way I look at it; if a review is available, use it.That being said, when I went to purchase a rain gauge, it seemed as though every single gauge Amazon.com sold received horrible reviews. Finally, I had to just bite the bullet and get one that seemed nice enough to not completely disintegrate in my garden...Well, this is it. This gauge has been nothing but a blessing. It is tall enough, large enough, clear enough, sturdy enough, and performs well enough to accurately measure rainfall and temperature in my garden. I haven't owned it for more than a year, but so far it has maintained it's excellent shape and readability through crazy MI weather. My only gripe, and it's really a very tiny gripe if a gripe at all, is that you have to be within about one degree of angle when viewing the temperature gauge to see the liquid level. So what?Be all of that as it may, this rain gauge is the one for you. Purchase with confidence. I cannot tell you what grade of metal this is made out of, or what thickness of plastic was used in fabrication because a.) I'm not a materials specialist, and b.) I DON'T CARE. It tells me the temperature, collects and accurately measures the rain, and hasn't melted/shattered/cracked in the heat, snow, or rain. Call me simple, but that's a good rain gauge in my book...

This rain gauge and thermometer are easy to read, but DO NOT buy this product. The thermometer has a glass tube for the red liquid (of course), and the item is not packaged well (no padding). When it arrived, the glass tube was cracked, therefore the liquid does not rise, and it does not show the temperature. AMAZON WILL NOT replace it or issue a refund, so you will be out $18.00 like I am!

Well made thermometer/ rain gauge. It comes with a nice size pole. There is big print on both the thermometer and gauge so I can see it from inside my house. Good purchase!

These are my favorite rain gauge. I used to get them at Lowes. I couldn’t find them the last time I went in. So glad Amazon had them.

Not anything like the previous version. Flimsy, temperature gauge was cracked, poles for placing product in ground were bent and just a dissapointment.

This is a great product at a great price. It is easy to install and easy to read. The water can be dumped easily also.

This product comes with 3 metal stakes which lift the gauge and thermometer about 2-3 feet above the ground. I like that both features are easy to read. I installed this in the middle of a 3-acre experimental plot to determine rainfall for our test seedling trees. My neighbor lost his rain gauge when the glass tube froze. I am experimenting by adding one inch of whisky to see if the alcohol will keep the water from freezing inside the rain gauge. There may be a better way but using this approach I will get a rain gauge cocktail every time I empty the glass tube.

Product is flimsy , readings are heavily innacurate . Packaging is outright hopeless.

Era lo que buscaba

Great gauge and thermometer for measuring the rain. Easy to insert in the ground, large print for easy reading. Have been doing plenty of measuring with all this rain! LOL

I like this combination "thermometer/rain gauge" because of the ease of reading the scales and the accuracy.
