My first PWS was a wired one from Radio Shack, remnants of which still decorate the house in a few places. I always enjoyed it but it eventually stopped working and I never replaced it. Then, years later, I walked in to Costco and saw the Acurite system on sale for $60. Pretty hard to pass up. The installation was a lot easier than RS and the color display much better. I liked it so much that the next year I bought another one to have a second display for the basement and a spare 5 in 1 for parts which (knock on wood) hasn't been necessary yet.
