It is better than my AccuRite weather station.There are almost no other weather stations on the market that allow data to be transmitted by Bluetooth.The build quality of the '5500' is fantastic. It feels like you are holding a Nokia phone. It is extremely durable. The impeller is also replaceable, so if it does get damaged you can just switch it out with a new one.It can be a bit tricky to calibrate the compass, but if you watch some online tutorials it is doable.Everything about this is astetically pleasing. The impeller cover clicks into place, the buttons click nicely. Its built like a tank.It definitely is worth it to get the LiNK enabled Bluetooth model.I'm going to post my final review first, below was my initial review:The product is well built but it doesn't do enough for something that costs over $400. I would expect an integrated GPS at least. The product is well made and there is nothing wrong with it other than it is insanely expensive. My phone can tell my altitude and barometric pressure better than this can. The altitude is also frequently wrong (again it needs GPS for better accuracy). It is also only slightly more accurate than other cheap 20 dollar sensors.My initial review:For 400 dollars for a weather sensor I expect the best. The plastic film that covered the sensor was scratched (thankfully not the actual screen) out of the box and there were plastic hairs next to the buttons. I also saw logs from 2021 as well which either means they were logging in the factory and testing it or I was sold a used product as new. I think it was tested though based on the measurements.Its accurate but takes way too long to cool down. One of the selling points is that it takes a few seconds to take accurate measurements.Also the lithium battery is only half full per the indicator out of the box. It was also very cold when it was delivered.After using it for a day it is more accurate and faster to cool down than my Protomex which was 20 dollars.It really feels like a Nokia when you are holding it. Its solidly built. Everything that moves feels sturdy including the battery door and cover for wind protector.The propeller sounds a little brittle but that might just be the design and it works well.For some reason it is not taking a regular Energizer Max battery it only takes the liion version which are very pricey.The return is taking a lot longer than expected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate and full of functions *by on Reviewed in Sweden 6 July 2026* Accurate, compact, sturdy design. Sufficient user manual, just google the different types of measurements available for full explanation. I'm thrilled and can't wait for the first winter use :)No need to recalibrate ower time except from the anemometer (wich is super easy, just replace the impeller) and the hygrometer that needs to be adjusted once a year if you want to keep the accuracy over time. ### ⭐⭐ Too bad I Can't return it... *by on Reviewed in Canada 28 February 2023* Item was sent to Ukraine to help soldiers... Unfortunately, the boys complained that USB not working... ## Frequently Bought Together - Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter Non-Link, Tan - Kestrel Portable Tripod with Clamp Black, Small - Kestrel Rotating Vane Mount & Carry Case 5000 Series Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/392823662-kestrel-5500-weather-meter-non-link-tan](https://www.desertcart.in/products/392823662-kestrel-5500-weather-meter-non-link-tan) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
