This review is for the Holdpeak 846A anemometer. Arrived today and everything was in perfect condition. I've read reviews about the fan not spinning properly but in this case it spun easily, even as I lifted it out of the case.I guess it's all about QC and China hasn't gotten the word quite yet.I also read somewhere that you can't figure CFM with this but that's not true. You can figure CFM and the instructions that came with it explain how to do this.I looked for a minute or two for the arrow showing air direction and if I had read the instructions first, I would have saved a minute and seen that the airflow direction arrow is actually on the inside of the fan shroud on top.All in all I really like this unit. I'm going to use it to check the airflow on my ducts as I'm getting ready to replace my furnace and would like to dial in the airflow with my manometer and anemometer as closely as possible on both heating and cooling cycles. Hopefully it will last awhile before giving me any problems but time will tell.

Once you understand how to use the buttons it’s easy to use. Bought it to balance air flow in my HVAC system.

Good device. Easy to use. Easy to calibrate to vent size. Decent case.

The pun was on purpose the fan sticks all the time and Ive had to spray it few times to get ti to work properly. Also when trying to calculate cfms it has a habit changing settings on its own even though I keep locking the setting I want.

They delivered on Sunday!! I thought they were setting themselves up for failure, I ordered late Friday night when I saw a promise to deliver Sunday. Got it before 11am Sunday, tested it on my heating system and a friends, worked great. Tried it out Monday on a high pressure dust collector fan, it ran at 8,500 cfm, worked like a charm. I will report back, I'm working on a system with collector, exhaust and recirculation back to building on same fan, so balancing the system will be a good test for the unit. I'll keep ya posted

I had a project where I needed to capture many readings over time. The description says it will store up to 600 readings. It does do this, but with no facility to download those readings. Getting the stored readings manually was time consuming as it takes about 1 second to scroll from one reading to another on the device. Also, it is not possible to record the max and min wind speed simultaneously. You have to capture the max over a period of time, and then capture the min separately. If you wanted the maximum and minimum wind speed for a 5 minute interval, you cannot do it. You can get the max for the first 2.5 minutes, and the min for the next 2.5 minutes, and hope the wind speed average and variance did not change during this time. This is probably the second biggest non satisfier of the device, after the lack of download functionality and slowness of data retrieval.

I bought a HP-846A and one of the vanes broke off at around 70mph indicated wind speed. I emailed the company a picture of the broken vane and they immediately sent a replacement.Previously I owned a Pyle PMA90 Digital Anemometer and the same thing happened at around 60 mph indicated air speed. It took a bunch of forms and a couple months to get a replacement.I can't verify how accurate the instrument is since I don't have a calibrated instrument to compare it to but I will say that HoldPeak is a great company to work with. They are very customer oriented.

I bought this to measure output from all my forced air registers to balance the flow. This unit fully worked for my needs.

Accurate and well worth the investment ... quick to respond to any changes in wind velocity and offers a bit of comfort knowing the wind that is affecting your flying site 👌ðŸ»

We live in a very windy area of central BC, Canada with no official wind station to tell us the wind speeds, so we decided to do our own measurements. This anemometer works very well, is durable and is easy to use, with easy-to-follow instructions included. We especially like the separate hand-held velocity sensor (as apposed to the all-in-one type) as it is easier to watch the fluctuations of the readings. It measures temperature as well, and the hard-shell carrying case is a plus for protection during transport. We are still in the learning process but would recommend this product.
