AcuRite 5" Capacity Easy-to-Read Magnifying Acrylic, Blue (00850A3) Rain Gauge

The AcuRite 5 Capacity Easy-to-Read Magnifying Acrylic Rain Gauge is both easy to read and install, with slotted holes for easy emptying. Some customers have complained about the gauge cracking and leaking water in freezing temperatures. One customer mentioned that they noticed the plastic is clouding up, making it difficult to read. There were concerns about accuracy, as one customer claims that it is always less than the local readings. Another said that it was perfectly accurate after testing the 1/2" mark and adding water back incrementally. Some customers enjoyed the product's design, and others noted that it is an odd thing to give such a low rating. However, someone also reported that it does not register even a tenth of an inch of water when placed in the direct path of several sprinklers. It is essential to note that one customer found that the gauge started dripping out water from the bottom and appeared to have no visible cracks or damage.
