KESTREL POCKET WEATHER METERS RELIABILITY & QUALITY NOW BACKED BY A 5-YEAR WARRANTY

Boothwyn, PA… Nielsen-Kellerman, creators and manufacturers of Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters, announced an increased 5-year warranty period for their popular hand-held weather meters. This initial warranty period, paired with satisfaction guarantees and lifetime trade-in/trade-up privileges provide Kestrel customers with the best product support available.
 
“Each Kestrel model was designed by our team of engineers to be an accurate, long-lasting instrument, and we’ve always known that Kestrels were still performing perfectly long after the original 2-year warranty period had passed. “ says Alix Kocher, General Manager of Nielsen-Kellerman. “We’re proud to be able to continue making these precision instruments right here in the USA. The new 5-Year Warranty is our way of conveying to the customer our confidence in our products.”

Kestrel Meters are commonly used in some of the harshest conditions in the world, yet still outperform instruments costing hundreds or thousands more. They are frequently employed in the field by Wildland firefighters, HAZMAT/first responders and military personnel. Additionally, Kestrel Meters can be found each year on Mt. Everest as they are valuable equipment for high-altitude mountaineers.

Thanks to meticulous engineering and domestic manufacturing quality control, Kestrel Meters enjoy a return rate under 1%. This failure rate is low by any industry standard, and unheard of in the electronics segment where the average return rate is 17%. Additionally, every Kestrel Meter is covered with a 30-day customer satisfaction guarantee, as well as a 90-day buy-back guarantee for dealers. After the regular 5-Year Warranty expires, every Kestrel is covered for life with a Customer Care Trade-in/Trade-up program, which allows users to replace a used or damaged Kestrel for a significant discount.
 
The new 5-Year warranty replaces the previous warranty period of 2 years. It applies to ALL Kestrel Meters, and the warranty period is activated on the date of purchase, provided during product registration. Should the customer choose not to register their product, the warranty period starts on the date of manufacture, which is determined by the serial number. Product registration and manufacture date are both easily accessible in the Support section of NK’s website: www.kestrelweather.com.
