US Manufacturing

The entire Kestrel line is designed and built in the USA. No other handheld weather meter is. Some electronic components have to be sourced overseas these days, but Kestrel buys American wherever possible. Kestrel believes US manufacturing is the only way to ensure that every Kestrel will do its job right. Kestrel believes it’s important to do its part to keep manufacturing alive and well in the US.

Kestrel 1000 Manual and Sensor Specifications

Description

With just three buttons to operate, the Kestrel 1000 handheld wind meter can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort.

If you are looking for an easy to use handheld wind speed meter (anemometer) that is durable, waterproof, floats and is accurate, look no further than the Kestrel 1000. Designed and built in the USA, the Kestrel 1000 is the preferred handheld anemometer from crane operators to kite boarders. Like all of our Kestrel Instruments, they are made in the USA, extremely durable and backed by a full 5 year factory warranty. All Kestrel Instruments are waterproof, drop-proof and they float.

I appreciated receiving the Kestrel 1000 in 2-3 days so that important measurements could be made in a narrow time window of opportunity. The unit worked well and quantitatively showed that there was a problem with room ventilation which we subsequently diagnosed. Having good air velocity data to back up conclusions was important in convincing others.

This wind meter is great. It is accurate, reliable, and works as advertised. Extreme Meters was fast and reliable. I highly recommend the Kestrel 1000 and Extreme Meters.

Glad you are enjoying the Kestrel 1000. Thank you for the recommendation. As a family owned and operated business, we truly appreciate it!

Good products and great service. Thank you!

All good!!
I did my research and decided I wanted a Kestrel 1000.
I found it for sale on the Extreme Meters web site and the price was the
same as Amazon and they both had generous return policies so I ordered it from
Extreme Meters. I ordered it on Monday and received it on Saturday.
I received an email notice when I ordered it, when it was shipped and when I
received it. And it was just what I wanted. I have not used it much yet,
I plan to use it on my boat.
So it was all good.

Thank you for choosing Extreme Meters for your Kestrel! Your Kestrel 1000 is perfect for boating & water sports. It's waterproof and it floats!

Nice product and very good service.

We’ve only begun to use it - getting basic data on blower output from our AC unit and on our sailboat to view wind speed at deck level. Wind speeds look reasonable, but we have limited data we can use as a control. A readout that is a little larger, thus easier to read, would be better.

I'm glad you are putting the Kestrel 1000 to use on your sailboat. The screen size is about as big as it can get without sacrificing other important features. If you are looking for a larger screen size, the Kestrel 5 series meters have a slightly larger screen. Thank you for the review!
