AcuRite 00795A2 Galileo Thermometer with Glass Globe Barometer, Barometer Set, Glass/Wood, 3

I am just fascinated with this Galileo thermometer. It catches your eye with the various colors floating within. I first saw one at my dentist’s office and asked the receptionist where she got it. She told me Amazon. When I got home, I ordered it right away. I truly am delighted with this purchase.

Interesting thing and very beautiful to have.

Quality product, good price. If you like scientific knick-knacks like I do, then this is a “I gotta have it” item. My grandson checks it whenever he visits to see if it looks like we’re going to get some rain. Fun way to teach how weather works and it looks cool too. You’ll need some food dye to color the barometer water.

Accurate to description. Do be aware though that both pieces are not glued or attached in any way to the stand. Also the tube they give you to fill the globe is curled up and slightly hard to get all the way through to fill it.Other then that stuff, this is a great product, size, dimensions and colors are Accurate. Works how it's intended and gives a nice decor to a room.

The media could not be loaded. Exactly what I wanted. Simple. Colorful. Cute. Accurate. Fairly easy to set up. When setting up you can not just fill it up in a super fast manner. It has a Doppler squeeze type fill up applicator so when filling up the blue liquid (which you can make your own color btw, or colorless if wanted I guess), but you need to have your own food coloring as it does not come with any. But anyways, you need to fill the water kinda slowly so it doesn't shoot up though the small tube on the right. But other than that it was way easier than I thought it was going to be.The only downfall is that the globe (blue part) on the right can get dirty/dusty inside depending on where you have it / how clean the area and air is in that location. For example, I put mines around my plants near the window and all the dirt and what not from the plants made it look kinda dusty looking when viewing from far away or on an angle. But in normal rooms, normal homes, this shouldn't happen.The temperature tube on the right is extremely accurate. Obviously it doesn't change much given that our indoor temp is always the same. So I put it outside to test it out and within 5mins it changed to the current outside temperature.The other part (sorry I can't remember the technical correct terms) but the blue globe part seems accurate for the most part but I'll have to look back in the instructions bc we are suppose to have a storm, and I thought that meant the blue dye was suppose to be higher up. But maybe it's just about the pressure in the air(??) And not storms(?) I'm not sure. I'm probably wrong per usual. But this is the perfect gift. Very cute. And it works! And u can customize the color. Just remember to already have the food coloring dye or purchase it as well 😊

Looks great on the shelf and that's all I wanted it for. I don't care or expect it to be accurate (as it's not) and the day I'm using this to predict the weather is the day civilization has officially ended.Thermometer portion was pre filed as it is a solid sealed piece of glass. In a 69deg room the 80 deg bulb is up. But again I don't care about accuracy as this is just a decoration.The Barometer is the only thing you will need to fill yourself with your choice of colored water. Process is very simple and they include the necessary syringe. You will need about 1/2 a cup of colored water to fill it and it may be helpful to have a second pair of hands since you will need to re-fill the syringe a few times while holding it upside down. I was able to do mine solo but if you have unsteady hands, bad arthritis, or are getting this as gift for a child assistance may be required.The Barometer does not have a scale or anything that will give you the actual air pressure. Its really more of a "extreme pressure difference indicator" that will let you know when major differences in pressure occur like what you keep with major storm fronts. A good visual indicator of air pressure for kids.Two concerns I have is:- the sentence in the include manual."On cases of severe weather or major storms the water may even run out of the spout"So I hope that doesn't mean the next time a storm rolls in that I'll have red colored water all over the place.- The thermometer sits in a a very shallow milled portion of the wooden base. Nothing but the weight of the glass keeps it planted there. The problem is that it would be very easy to knock it over and break it since the thermometer is pretty top heavy. So if you plan on putting it someplace where a kid can reach it or you could brush up against it you may end up tipping it over and breaking it.But I give it 5 stars as it looks good and should last a lifetime if I don't end up breaking it myself.And if civilization as we know it does come to an end and all technology fails us, then I'll be the one smart looking guy telling everyone the wrong temperature and that a storm is coming.

Bought this for a colleague as a going away gift because it's nice looking and functional. I took the wood base to an engraver who put some cool words and designs on it to make for a functional, but sentimental gift my colleague will hopefully cherish for the rest of his life.
