HoldPeak 866B Digital Anemometer Handheld Wind Speed Meter for Measuring Wind Speed, Temperature and Wind Chill with Backlight and Max/Min

This is a nice and fairly well made Anemometer that I'm glad I purchased. It's easy to use, battery life is really good, accuracy seems good plus very sensitive for a value meter and the screen brightness is plenty for me to easily see the results.I can't really think of any complaints since it's lasted me a while now and has been used well more than a dozen times so far. I primarily use it to test various fans that I have. That way I can have a measurable output to log as data for comparison purposes. That way I will have a general idea of what I need for future fan purposes now that I have data to compare. There are several other air things that this can be used for, but that's what I'm using it for at this time. I want to use it for other purposes in the future and am excited to see how it will pan out.If anything changes for the good or negative, I will update my review accordingly. After many months, it has held up very well and is still going strong, so I'm not sure what to anticipate at this point. Time will tell.

Extremely easy to use and I love the multiple options for unit of measurement.

05.18.25 Works just fine, the big con is the battery cover. I played with it for about ten minutes and ended up using two tiny flat head screwdrivers simultaneously get it off. Sitting here typing, I think one or two O-ring hooks be useful. I am a little surprised that the cover did not break. Otherwise, it is as advertised.

Simple to use, ideal for checking relative difference between measurements. Not sure about accuracy but for the casual user seems to be sufficient, several units available. Button control lumination is helpful. Used twice, all good

This is a straightforward handheld meter that has no downloadable memory however is good for field use for assessing real time wind speed. I have mine mounted on a tripod because it is kind of hard to hold it and move it around and things like that for giving period of time. Of course you have to know the wind direction if that’s what the purpose is I use it for measuring ground speed of wind for drone takeoff. The only thing that would compliment this would be a windsock. It has different units such as miles per hour. Kilometers per hour. Knots, meters per second, feet per minute. It also has minimum maximum and average. And the back screen is nice for the price of what limited use I have for it. It is a great anemometer. It uses two AA alkaline type batteries, which comes with it. The back cover is difficult to get off. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

Excellente Producto

It’s pretty basic and made out of very thin plastic if you drop it once I imagine it will be in a million pieces, and the carry bag that come with it is made of plastic as well with super cheap zipper, the backlight will only stay lite for about 10 seconds so have to keep hitting the button to keep up with readings, and for this price the app should be included considering the material it’s made of is so cheap.. buyer beware there is more sturdy out there, if it was easy to exchange I would have already done it..
