Our Review of the Kestrel 3000 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 3000 Pocket Weather Meter is the handheld weather-monitoring device that provides a wide range of functions, plus accurate relative humidity measurements. Before the Kestrel 3000 came along, the technology required to gather this information would require masses of equipment – but not anymore. The Kestrel 3000 Weather Meter measures essential environmental parameters like temperature and wind speeds, and has added advantages for professionals that need access to humidity and heat stress readings.

Because of its compact size and high durability, the Kestrel 3000 and Kestrel 3500 have become the pocket weather meters of choice for Wildland firefighters, concrete professionals, even professional coaches – all of whom need accurate weather info to properly access environmental conditions and make crucial decisions.

The Kestrel 3000's sensitive and user-replaceable impeller technology provides accurate wind speed info. Additionally, an external temperature sensor and waterproof casing allow you to gauge the temperature of water (it even floats) and snow, as well as the open air. A hard slide-on case, lanyard, and battery are included.

The Kestrel 3000 accurately measures:

  • Wind Chill
  • Air, Water, and Snow Temperature
    • Displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius w/ accuracy of +/-1°
  • Current, Average, and Maximum Wind Speed
    • Wind Speeds displayed in:  Beaufort Wind Scale; Knots; MPH; KPH; or Feet Per Minute
  • Relative Humidity
  • Dewpoint
  • Heat Stress Index

Older Model 3000

5
Reviewer: Brian O'Neill , IL Date: December 22, 2008
I have had the older model K3000 for more than five years. Other than having to change the battery, which by the way lasted a long time, it has been working flawlessly. I refer to it often before I head out to work, when I have to check indoor relative humidity, or wind speed and temps outdoors. I've used it in all conditions and can highly recommend it. Whenever weather measurements are needed quickly and accurately, this is the tool to have.

Kestrel 3000

5
Reviewer: Bob Hutchinson , Albert Lea, MN Date: April 23, 2008
First, I must say how impressed I am with the great customer service I have received. I contacted the company via e-mail a few different times and got a prompt response, usually within a hour or less. The product itself is an amazing little tool. I am a superintendent in the construction field and a crane operator. The many features this product offers eliminates alot of guess work. It was sent promptly, packaged very well and set up to use right out of the box. I am extremely happy with all aspects. Thank You, Bob Hutchinson

Kestral 3500

5
Reviewer: Bruce Medendorp , White Cloud, Michigan Date: September 17, 2007
My experience with Kestral was nothing short of excellent in all aspects. I was most impressed with the manner, speed and follow-up with the Kestral staff. Ordering was a breeze, confirmation of the order was immediate and packaging/shipping (very well protected) was perfect. I ordered on a Friday and was using it on the following Monday. The Kestral 3500 unit met my expectations and more. The design and workmanship is excellent. The functions are quite easy to perform and the response time between functions is fast. I cannot honestly say I couldn't come up with any faults. If I were to have any regrets it would be that I didn't bump up the model number for the added features but not having known anyone with the Kestral, I took the baby steps first. Excellent product and service all the way around. My uses are general and for shooting. If you use Kestral for shooting, get the wind direction unit options, I didn't and wish I had.

Case Damages LCD Display Lens

4
Reviewer: Gerald B. Curtis , GRANTS NM Date: April 20, 2007
This is a fine instrument and functions well, as promised. Unfortunately, the part of the instrument where the clear LCD display lens is located is slightly thicker than the adjacent housing. Because of that, as the case is slid off and on, the case scrapes against the lens. This causes scratch marks that have begun to make the LCD display more and more difficult to read over time. I wonder if the warranty covers this design or manufacturing defect? If not, the only cure will be to re-purchase what is otherwise an excellent instrument. I invite Kestrel to respond to my concerns. ***

Comments from The Staff:

Nielsen Kellerman, the manufacturer of Kestrel Meters would like to offer a replacement unit under warranty. They are taking this information to their engineers to review the current process and to make sure that the problem does not reoccur. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to fix this problem.

Kestrel 3000 Wind Meter

5
Reviewer: Karen Kirtland , Riverside, CA Date: September 25, 2006
Great little weather station, just like the product description says. It even gives you the average wind speed, very useful in my work. Easy to use, easy to understand, light and easy to carry. One downside - if your eyesight is aging, like mine, the small symbols indicating humidity, Fahrenheit, etc., can be difficult to read. However, once you recognize the shapes, it isn't too difficult. The black characters against the light background show up marvelously, even in bright sunlight. Quick response to temperature changes (going from heated car to cool mountain air for example), so the wait time is limited. I haven't tried floating it in water yet, as water sources are limited in my part of the world. All in all, I'm very glad I purchased it.
