Our Review of the Kestrel 2000 Wind Meter
![]() |
All Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters are made in the USA and covered by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Additionally, every single Kestrel manufactured is calibrated for every single value, either directly against NIST-traceable standards or against an intermediary standard that is calibrated daily. Every unit is shipped with a FREE Certificate of Conformity that states what calibrations were performed, and the certified performance specifications. |
The Kestrel 2000 Pocket Weather Meter is the most elementary temperature and wind monitor in the Kestrel Meter collection. Capable of measuring both wind and temperature phenomena, the Kestrel 2000 Thermo Anemometer is a compact and durable weather meter that puts essential weather information in the palm of your hand.
Thanks to Kestrel's sensitive impeller technology, you get accurate wind speed info. In addition, the Kestrel 2000's external temperature sensor and waterproof casing (it even floats) allow you to gauge the temperature of water and snow, as well as open air. A hard slide-on case, lanyard, and battery are included.
The simple and reliable Kestrel 2000 is a fantastic tool for skiers, snowboarders, and other outdoor activity enthusiasts who stay abreast of changing weather conditions.
- The Kestrel 2000's backlight allows you to check the weather even in the darkness.

Comments from The Staff:
These are unusual experiences, both with the meter and customer service. As far as the meter is concerned, the temperature of your hand MAY have played a role, as the meters are very sensitive. If however that does not seem to be the cause, we offer a 90-day return policy, and the manufacturer offers a very solid 5-year warranty. Please contact us at 1-800-891-8493 if you'd like to arrange a return or exchange. Sorry to hear your customer service experience was not to your satisfaction; yes, we are a retailer for Kestrel Meters, not the manufacturer, but in fact we do work in tandem with Nielsen-Kellerman to provide tech answers (in fact they have actually asked dealers to begin sending more questions straight to them), depending on their nature. I'm sorry that this was not your experience, but your feedback is appreciated and invaluable in helping us to consistently improve.
