5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Little Weather Station, November 12, 2005

By	Blondie59 (EGV IL USA) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent portable weather station. We take it camping, boating, even hiking. Very small and lightweight. Fits in your pocket. Batteries last forever. For anyone who is interested in the weather, this is a must. Cost is certainly prohibitive, but it is a highly technical gadget that monitors wind speed, temp, barometric pressure, altitude, heat index, humidity, wind chill, time and date. You can set it up to take readings on a specified interval and can view the data in graphical format or by the numbers. Highly recommended product. We've had ours for about 2 years and have not had any problems with it. QUALITY!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kestrel Model 2500, March 16, 2008

By	Roger Fluhr (WADING RIVER, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased a Kestrel 2500. I also own a Brunton ADC Summit, but have never been happy with the long response time required for an accurate temperature reading. An avid snowboarder and skier, I am prone to frostbite and got it twice more this season. I decided to get the Kestrel meter to get accurate windchill readings so as to avoid the frostbite. The ADC is a good meter and actually has more features (altiude ski run logs in particular). However, when that meter is introduced to an environment that has a very different temperature (for example...taking it out of your jacket to get a temp reading on a ski slope) it takes entirely too long for the displayed temp reading to drop to the accurate reading. The Kestrel, on the other hand, is very quick. I had an opportunity to test it on the slopes of Breckenridge and Schweitzer, Idaho recently and was extremely pleased with it's performance. The settings and controls for the 2500 are very intuitive and you really don't need the manual. The same cannot be said for the Brunton. To get the most out of that meter, you must spend a great deal of time with the instruction manual. The customer service techs at Kestrel (N-K) are very helpful as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine instrument, June 14, 2008

By	C. F. MacGuyer "dakine_audiophile" (RI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the second Kestrel 4000 I've purchased. My brother, who is 4000 miles away in HI has has my first. I'll never see IT again (orange) Anyway, this unit is outstanding. Very accurate and provides you with all the air information except the direction it's coming from. Hopefully you will know that as forecasting depends on direction too. I feel the most outstanding feature on the 4000 is the recording ability of this unit. The barometric pressure can (user adjustable) be recorded in time intervals. You don't have to be outside in bad weather. I believe it can hold several hundred readings then stop or write over the earliest. Date and time are recorded as well. Reviewing the recorded graph, gives you a mental picture of a front approaching and passing through an area. You can sort of relive the big wind, lightning, and rain just before the storm! There are a lot of user defined parameters on the 4000. Its not hard to adjust, and can be changed according to what you need to know. There is back light for night operation, but you need to be familiar with the button placement as they don't light up. If you are a weatherwise person, as most are otherwise(Ben Franklin), you will enjoy this marvel of technology for years. It is well made, and supported. It is not inexpensive, but precision instruments never are, and as such should be treated with care and attention. (don't leave it near your brother)
