The kit is too! Review: I got this just before going on long trip abroad and could not thoroughly test it. When I came back and tried it out, the impeller got constantly stuck, producing clicking sounds and of course recording much too low wind speed readings. I contacted support and was told to nudge it away from the casing, but I could not even tell where it touched. To get a better look I decided to remove the impeller from the instrument, which is normal procedure for replacing it and described in the manual. It came out and fell apart as you can see in the photo. It is a really cheap looking frail plastic part. You should know that they sell replacements for between 30 and 40 Euros including tax and shipping and it is supposed to be calibrated in a wind tunnel and come with a certificate. This is absolutely ridiculous. And it also proofs that it is not made to last. Why make it so easily replacable otherwise? Support told me to send it back to desertcart (which is not possible anymore) instead of offering at least a free replacement impeller. The only thing Kestrel is good at is marketing to sell their cheap quality product for a ridiculously high price. ## Features - Multi-function weather meter with vane mount and wireless Bluetooth Link (iOS/Android compatible) - 14 measurements: wind speed/direction/chill, air/water/snow temperature, humidity, pressure and more - Large display is backlit and has night vision preserving lighting for readability day or night - Rugged, drop-tested (MIL-STD-810G), waterproof (IP67) design is made in the USA - Meteorology, boating, aviation, hiking, research, hunting, farming, and military applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017AF1N26 | | Are batteries included? | Yes | | Best Sellers Rank | 119,957 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 8 in Weather Monitors | | Brand | Kestrel | | Colour | @@ | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (110) | | Display Type | LCD LED | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00730650001972 | | Included Components | AA battery, Neck lanyard, Protective zipper pouch, Vane Mount | | Item Shape | Rectangular with protective cover | | Item Type Name | 5500 Weather Meter | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Kestrel | | Manufacturer Part Number | KEST-0855LVTAN | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Model Number | OB-KEST-0855LVTAN | | Number of Batteries | 1 AA batteries required.
