Review: Good inexpensive anemometer. - This is a straightforward handheld meter that has no downloadable memory however is good for field use for assessing real time wind speed. I have mine mounted on a tripod because it is kind of hard to hold it and move it around and things like that for giving period of time. Of course you have to know the wind direction if that’s what the purpose is I use it for measuring ground speed of wind for drone takeoff. The only thing that would compliment this would be a windsock. It has different units such as miles per hour. Kilometers per hour. Knots, meters per second, feet per minute. It also has minimum maximum and average. And the back screen is nice for the price of what limited use I have for it. It is a great anemometer. It uses two AA alkaline type batteries, which comes with it. The back cover is difficult to get off. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Review: Works well - Works very well. The blades took a very small spot of superglue to get it perfectly balanced but still worked well before I did that. It's very sensitive but it doesn't have extremely fine resolution. I think it will do about .2MPH which is good enough for most purposes. Doesn't seem to draw a lot of vampire power so I don't feel like I have to take the batteries out every time I use it. ## Features - Highly Accurate Wind Meter- Thanks to the sensitive dual temp sensors, 8 vanes, smooth fan shaft, the HoldPeak 866B Anemometer can accurately detect wind speed, wind chill and temp. And this digital anemometer has a wind speed measurement range of 0.67~67.1 mph(+/- 2% of readings), Which can help you monitor wind conditions in real time. - Professional & Multifunctional - This Pro wind speed meter has functions such as: unit switching of wind speed(m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots, mph) and wind temp(℃,℉), Max/Min/Average Wind Speed, battery level display, auto off, backlight, etc. Which can meet various measuring demands. - With Tripod Hole & Hand Strap - Our handheld anemometer has a tripod hole that allows ou to fix the anemometer on the triangular bracket while measuring. It also comes with a hand strap, which prevents it from being dropped or lost.

Use it for outdoor activities like drone flying, shooting, sailing — or for HVAC work like checking duct airflow, testing heating/cooling efficiency, adjusting vents, and solving collector problems. **Q: Can this anemometer calculate CFM directly?** A: This anemometer measures air velocity (ft/min), not CFM directly — because CFM also depends on your duct's area. Just measure your duct's area and multiply it by the wind speed reading to get CFM. Formula: CFM(Q) = Wind Speed(V)× Duct Area (A). **Q: What are the key specifications of the anemometer?** A: The HP-866B handheld anemometer measures airflow velocity (59–5905 ft/min, ±5% accuracy) and wind temperature (14°F–113°F, ±3.6°F accuracy). **Q: Does this wind meter show the room temperature?** A: This digital anemometer shows the temperature of the wind passing over the sensor — that's the "wind temperature," not the ambient temperature. It may vary from the actual room temperature. **Q: Is this anemometer portable? What are its dimensions and weight?** A: Yes! The anemometer weighs just 5.4 oz and measures 6.5 x 3.4 x 1.5 inches — compact and lightweight enough to toss in your backpack, tool bag, or even a large pocket. Perfect for taking on outdoor adventures or HVAC jobs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good inexpensive anemometer. *by S***I on January 9, 2025* This is a straightforward handheld meter that has no downloadable memory however is good for field use for assessing real time wind speed.

The blades took a very small spot of superglue to get it perfectly balanced but still worked well before I did that. It's very sensitive but it doesn't have extremely fine resolution. I think it will do about .2MPH which is good enough for most purposes. Doesn't seem to draw a lot of vampire power so I don't feel like I have to take the batteries out every time I use it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive but Accurate *by 7***S on January 15, 2019* After both my wireless Acurite and LaCrosse anemometers failed, I decided to buy the HoldPeak 866B hand-held unit to calibrate a hard-wired anemometer I am building using an Arduino Mega connected to the mechanical parts of my defunct Acurite. The box containing the HoldPeak had one corner that was crushed. Fortunately, the unit itself, which was in a sealed plastic bag, was undamaged. The attached photos show all that was included - the unit, the zippered carrying case, the lanyard that screws into the tripod mounting hole, and the instruction sheet. Of course the unit would not power up right out of the box because the two included AAA batteries were wrapped in plastic. I used a jeweler's Phillips screwdriver to remove the two small screws holding the battery compartment cover. The cover itself required a knife blade to pry it out. Removed and unwrapped the batteries then reinstalled them. The unit now powered up. I found the included, bare-bones instructions somewhat ambiguous regarding the use of the MAX/MIN and AVG (average) buttons, I had assumed, based on the skimpy instructions, that after you completed a measurement, you could switch between MAX and MIN and see those two wind speeds displayed. Finally figured out that is not how they work. What the instructions don't say is to get the MAX wind speed, you first must press the MAX/MIN button so that MAX appears on the display. Then do your measurement. When you are finished, the display will show the maximum speed and hold it until you either turn the unit off, hit the MAX/MIN or AVG buttons, or take another measurement where the wind speed exceeds that shown on the display from the first measurement. I like this feature. You can take a reading without the MAX icon showing and, after you finish, hit the MAX button but the reading will not be the max speed that occurred but some lesser speed, Why the MIN (minimum) wind speed feature was included is beyond me. Because, let's face it, every measurement you make is going to have a zero minimum. And that is exactly what is shown (0.0) every time you begin a reading with the MIN icon showing on the display. Use of the AVG feature is also rather hokey. Before you do a measurement, you have to press the AVG button so that icon is displayed. Then make your measurement. The display will show the actual wind speed until you stop. Then the speed that is displayed will decrease to some value (probably the average) and hold there for about 5 seconds then begin to decrease down to zero. The only thing the instructions say about this is - "average reading in 15 seconds will be displayed". Despite the lack of detailed instructions on how to use the MAX/MIN and AVG features, I found the wind speed measurements to be quite accurate. I tested the unit several times at different speeds by holding it out of my car window with MAX showing on the display. As I drove, I kept an eye on my speedometer to note the maximum speed I attained. When I stopped and checked the reading, it was right on what my speedometer indicated. At least it was accurate up to a speed if 32 miles per hour, which is the fastest I have tested it so far. The instruction sheet indicates that the speed accuracy is +/- 5%, which appears to be true. The next time I hit the highway, I'll check it out at 65 mph. Also displayed at the bottom is the air temperature, which is switchable between °C and °F. The unit apparently has a wind chill feature that only works when the temperature of the unit goes below 0 degrees C (32 F). Again the instructions are vague on the subject. I had to go back to Amazon's listing of the unit to learn that, when the air temp is below 32F, the temperature reading changes from the actual air temp to the wind chill value. Being in Florida, I don't think I will ever have the opportunity to check it out. I'll leave that up to the poor devils up north. Another feature I like is the switchable backlight. Great for checking wind speeds at night. Finally, the bottom line is that the HoldPeak 866B does what I bought it for - to have an inexpensive hand-held anemometer that will measure wind speeds with some degree of accuracy. ## Frequently Bought Together - HoldPeak 866B Digital Anemometer Handheld Wind Speed Meter for Measuring Wind Speed, Temperature and Wind Chill with Backlight and Max/Min - Protmex HT607 Temperature Humidity Meter High Precision Digital Hygrometer with Ambient, Relative Humidity, Dew Point, Wet Bulb Thermometer, Min/Max Hold, LCD Backlight with Cover Protector --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16114165-holdpeak-866b-digital-anemometer-handheld-wind-speed-meter-for-measuring](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16114165-holdpeak-866b-digital-anemometer-handheld-wind-speed-meter-for-measuring) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
