I bought this scale over a year ago and it is still working great (and on original batteries, too). I use it to weigh food for my pets, to weigh out 100 calorie snacks for myself, to weigh my mail so I’m not over, and to weigh my smaller pets (pet rats and a snake). If you’re looking for pinpoint accuracy, you’ll probably have to shell out more money for a superior scale. But for measuring things in the kitchen and around the house, it is really accurate (within 1 g). It doesn’t take up a lot of space, the platform is raised so you can weigh larger items without hitting the buttons, and is easy to use. It comes with a manual but I never needed it– it’s pretty self-explanatory.

Someone mentioned the battery cover falls off– I did not have this happen to me, and if it did, a piece of duct tape would fix it and you’d never know because it’s on the bottom of the unit. I would recommend this to everyone.

The scale is a bit inexpensive looking and have that feel. However, the scale does exactly what I want it do do and does it well.

This is a very nice scale. It is compact, reliable and easy to use. I was impressed that the manufacturer made it available in such a wide variety of colors. I had used a similar one at a work place but it only weighed items up to 5 lbs. where this one goes up to 11 lb. I have been using it daily for weighing items being sent by mail and am well pleased.

When I received this scale the ‘tare’ function did not work. I returned the item. I was charged $25.00 on my card, received an e-mail from Amazon saying that I would be refunded $19.45. I guess that even though the product was defective, I still had to pay the shipping. I have yet to see the $19.45 credit on my card.
