The thermometer was 10 degrees off and offers no means to calibrate. Useless.

We apologize that your thermometer is reading inaccurately but we would be happy to assist! Analog thermometers may need to be calibrated from time to time or even just after purchasing the product. The pointer may move during shipping, causing the thermometer to read inaccurately. If the thermometer is reading incorrectly, compare the reading to a known accurate thermometer. Let both units adjust for at least three hours. Depending on the product, there may be a knob or screw on the back of the thermometer to calibrate the temperature. If the new thermometer continues to read inaccurately, adjust the pointer by turning knob or screw on the back of the unit in the appropriate direction.
If there is no knob or screw for calibration, you will need to adjust the pointer by hand. If the temperature reading is too low, slowly push the needle up to the highest temperature and then slowly let it follow your finger back down until the needle stops on its own. Never let the needle swing back wildly on its own as this can permanently damage the thermometer. When the needle stops, it will stop a degree or two higher than where it was originally set. Repeat this process until the needle stops at an accurate temperature reading. If the thermometer is too high, follow this same process only pushing the needle down to the lowest temperature.
For further assistance, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request on the AcuRite Support website.

This is an accurate thermometer. Easy to read from inside the house. Numbers are large and easy to read. And it was a snap to hang on the screw on the outside post. Highly recommend this outdoor thermometer.

Didn’t know how to rate this. 1st attempt had to be exchanged because temp was off by at least 6 degrees—that was a poor. Returned, exchanged second attempt is just fine. Thermometer is on our deck railing and is easily readable from inside the house. Rating is excellent.

It doesn’t work. I can’t return because I got rid of the packaging. It seems to be stuck at one point and never changes.

The AcuRite 12.5" Thermometer is very easy to read from a distance.
I wanted an outside thermometer that I could place outside my window, that I could read easily from inside, and therefore know how to dress before going out to the garden. Voila! This AcuRite 12.5 inch thermometer does the job very well, and has given me an accurate reading for a couple of weeks, now. The best part is, it's big enough to see easily. If you want to mount it on a fence or a post, the box it comes in has a template for the mounting screws.

Defective and Useless
Hope Depot should seriously consider a new thermometer vendor. This was the second one of these I purchased and the second one that did not function properly. I left it in my house to check the temperature and it consistently read 8-10 degrees low. When I bought it there were four on the display. Among them they read three different temperatures. I bought one of the two that agreed, assuming it was correct. No such luck.
