I use the Accurite also, had it close to 2 years, no problem so far.

I've used the Accurite for about three or four years now on every hike or camping trip. I got it at Walmart for about $7.00.
I also use a AcuRite Wireless Digital. No back-lit for night time.
Nope, don't use one. There are only five temps when out hanging. Too dang cold, cold, perfect, hot and too dang hot. Have survived some of the first, a few of the of the second, quite a few of the third and stay away from the last two.
Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.
I've used the coghlans unit for months. It's taken a beating and is still going strong. In addition to recording 24 high/low it also functions as a clock w/alarm, and compass.
Now that reminds me, I need to figure out how to turn off that alarm! I've heard it beeping in the closet every day for weeks.
I use the Accurite.. it's only 6 bucks or so and has worked great. I keep it on my pack until I get the hammock set up and then it goes on the ridgeline most of the time..

Another Accurite user from Walmart. Cheap. Works so far. Since I don't get use it as much as I'd like I take the battery out when not in use.

This is a good question and I have often thought about getting one to take with me. Lot of good advise on this thread.
I spent too much, but it has been a good unit.
This one.
