AcuRite 00840A1 Rain Gauge, Medium, Yellow

This rain gauge works great, just be sure to bring it inside before winter! Ours froze and cracked. I also added a drop of food coloring in the bottom to make the level easier to see.

I love these rain gauges, SUPER easy to use. Made of plastic, they don't last long enough if you live where there's lots of UV sunshine. And the darn things aren't that cheap either. $2 or $3 worth of plastic product, and I think it was ~$15. But I get the same thing again because they're super simple. Star deduction for the high-ish price.

Great, simple to use rain gauge. Easy to mount on a post and will last for years, in occasionally freezing rain/temps, such as what we have in central and south-central Texas. I bought a couple extra as the one I have is at least five years old.

Great quality. Does not crack in the hot sun or cold weather. Just a personal favorite because I enjoy knowing the rainfall amount in my back yard. Easy to mount.

Works good and help's me track the rain we are getting

It has easily seen increments, but the color makes it hard to see at a distance and the molded plastic which slides over the stake is visible through the beaker at the one inch line; this sometimes looks like we have received one inch of rain until you do a closer inspection.

Easy to read and very accurate, great buy. 5 stars

It’s cheap but I knew that and it’s working fine, you get what you pay for, I’ll keep it !! :)

Funciona muy bien

These are great just need to use a different way to attach them to the fence post. A half inch narrow screw works the best. I put a bit of cheesecloth over the top to keep insects out. Might order some more for the spring.

Es el segundo que compro, porque el primero sufrió un "accidente". Me gusta porque con las lluvias torrenciales que han caído recientemente, al ser para 6", no he tenido, aún, el inconveniente de que se rebose.

It's a rain gauge, read it after it rains to get an idea of how much rain your area got. Delivered quickly just stick it outside and your all set

Reasonably well made. Was what I expected. That said, the spike or mounting adapter (depending on how you use it) did not fit well. Was way too tight to use in either intended way. Had to use sandpaper and take a bit off the attaching points to make it fit so that one would not break it in the first use. A few minutes of work and it is fine now. For the price, its fine. I'm happy.
