Weight Watchers - weighing scale, digital

Click here for more information Nice scale, accurate and good quality. I was impressed with the weight and construction of the scale. The lid is also a tray for larger items and protects the buttons and scale surface when not in use. I will buy a 500 gm calibration weight at a later time, but it does not seem to need it since I have been using American coins to check the accuracy of the scale from time to time. So far the scale is consistent and performs well every time I have used it.

Being a Weight Watcher I struggle the most with eating out and feeling confident in what I'm eating. I recently bought this scale to carry in a little bag containing my spray butter, salad dressing, sour cream and anything else that I might need while dining out. This small scale is easy to use, very accurate and discrete. The lid acts as a tray to weigh the meat portions of my meal. I simply take a sandwich bag to slip it in when I'm done. You can't beat the price here on Amazon. I've seen this scale triple the cost on other sites. If you diet and are tired of guessing your portion size get this scale!

I got this scale so I can weigh out certain foods because I am on a diet. I also have the AWS AMW-100 scale as well, however that only goes to 100 grams and I was extremely limited on the food I was weighing, so I decided to move up to this 650g version.



Firstly I will say it is much smaller than I was anticipating. The AC-650 actually has a smaller weighing platform (width wise) than my AMW-100 model. Based on the pictures with the lid acting as a expansion tray, it was made it to be bigger than it really is. But realistically, this is just about the same rectangular size and shape of a iPhone (although much thicker and a bit taller). Heck, it even looks like a cell phone to some degree.



The scale itself looks very slick, it has a unique style of plastic that almost resembles those rubber-plastics you often find on phone cases, although while it doesn't feel rubbery at all, it has some similarity. Either way, a great texture. The weight of the scale is also good, as it feels heavy for it's size which makes it seem more robust.



As for the actual weighing feature of the scale, it works great. Accuracy is more than good enough for me, I have a old 100g weight from my other scale and it weighed it exactly at 100g right out of the box. I also really like the easy to use, perfectly sized on/off button, which is a huge step up from my AMW-100 scale which had flat, sunk-in style buttons. So far it has been working just as good as my other 100 gram scale, and the TARE feature is really useful (I didn't know what this feature did until I got this scale).



Now for the con. The lid that comes with it might be a problem for some people. As it is not really secured to the scale when it is in place, so it can easily come off in transport or if juggled around in a drawer too much. The lid is also made of hard plastic that is easily crackable. It's nice to have it separate so I can expand the size of my weighing surface, but I much prefer the style of my AMW-100 model, where the lid is attached on a hinge and snaps shut when not in use. But hey, for a scale that only cost me $11 plus free shipping, I really can't complain here.



Overall I like the scale. The increase from 100g to 650g makes a HUGE difference for me, and has expanded the potential food items I will be able to weigh on it. Not sure if it will last as long as my AMW-100 (which still works great) but only time will tell and I will edit this review as necessary.

This scale works fine for most things. However, even when I first used it the weights of whatever I was weighing out would always teeter-totter +- .1. The same nickel would sometime weigh 5.0, but other times 5.1 or 4.9. Overall, it works, but there are better ones out there for the same price

I received my scale in less than a week but when I unpacked it the included and installed batteries were dead. No problem, I just replaced the batteries. Well, I found out why the batteries were dead; this thing turns itself on after being off for about 10 seconds. It seems to be accurate but I have to install and remove the batteries every time I use it.

The product is fantastic, not only was the price more than reasonable, but the scale works better than any other I've owned. However the shipping was off by three days, I am not sure that was due to the postal service, or the company, but I believe it was USPS. I would highly recommend this item to anyone looking for a quality scale for a reasonable price....as long as they have some time on their hands.

I bought this to weigh letters to get the right postage. However, the scale is so small and so close to the ground that it is impossible to put anything larger than an ordinary envelope on it, without the ends resting on the ground. I did, however, figure out that if you take a larger envolope, say 8.5-by-11, and rest it on the edge, you can get the correct weight. You need to gently balance the envelope from the sides so it doesn't fall over, yet doesn't put weight on your fingers. - Weighing Scale - Digital - Diet - Fast Weigh - Kitchen Scale - Pocket

Weighing Scale - pocket scale, american weigh

Click here for more information This scale is a great value for the .01 gram precision it offers. Once calibrated it is quite sensitive and accurate. Mine came quite far from calibrated, but based on the other reviews here it appears this is only a fluke. The scale is lightweight and very portable, being roughly the same size as a Nintendo DS Lite. Build quality is good; it looks like it will last a long time if used properly and carefully. Comes with two AAA batteries and a space for storing a pair of extras. Very nice scale for the price.



One hint about calibration: if you forget to buy the 100g calibration weight, you can simply use 20 U.S. nickels, as each nickel is exactly 5g.

I purchased this exact scale from this seller for reloading. Its important to have .1grain resolution, as is advertised. It does not, its .2grain. Contacted seller (scales n tools) they said that it was a manufacturing change and offered to take it back. Fair enough. They still havent changed the ad on here though, so they are purposely misleading people with false advertising.

I've had this scale for a couple years, and I'm very happy with it. It's accurate, repeatable +/- 0.02 grams on different days, and has held up through moderate handling (nothing abusive, but stuff that I'd never put my lab scale through).



It uses what I call a "floating zero". This is good and bad... When within 0.03 grams of zero and steady, it displays 0.00 and slowly adjusts its zero. If you slowly add 0.01 grams at a time, you can get it to drift way off, and when you eventually take off all the weights at once, it'll display -0.20 grams or whatever their weight was. The good is that the scale, despite its inexpensive mechanism, keeps very good zero calibration between measurements. The downside is that it makes small measurements difficult. If you want to weigh out 0.15 grams of powder, you can't just tare your weigh paper and then gradually pour it on - the zero will drift unless you add the first 0.05 grams quickly enough. Instead, you can NOT tare it, and manually subtract the weigh paper.



This feature is not a problem at all unless you're weighing very small (less than 0.1 grams) items on a regular basis. I think this is an acceptable compromise for a pocket scale of this precision at this price (and it's practically standard until you get to much more expensive equipment), so I am not marking any points off. - Pocket Scale - American Weigh - Coins - Kitchen Scale - Digital - Dw

Click here for more information This scale is very small - about the size of a pocket calculator but it is so handy and is very accurate and precise at weighing things. The lid pops off and becomes a tray so you can weigh larger things. I use it to carry in my knitting bag to see how much of a ball of yarn I've used or to weigh a finished sock and compare it to what is left of the ball of wool to know if there's enough for the second sock. I've found all sorts of useful ways to use it.



Since the lid covers the scale totally and protects it well - you don't need to worry about carrying it around and having it getting damaged.



The display is nice and bright and easy to read. It even come with a calibration weight - which I didn't need to use because it weighed accurately without calibration.



I've tried several other pocket size scales for my knitting bag and this one works the best of all of them. The shape and size of it is perfect for my needs.

I've been through dozens of digital scales in my lifetime, and this little bugger is by far the best. It is simple, easy to use and calibrate, and is accurate. As if that is not enough, it is durable. It has been put through the ringer, and even dropped a couple of times. I have used this scale a lot in the last 2 years after buying it here on Amazon. It came with a 100 gram weight for calibrating that I only used when I first got it, yet the scale is still accurate to .1 of a gram 2 years and many uses later. I can see why this unit comes with a 5 year warranty. I'll be amazed if I ever have to use it. I'll probably lose it long before it dies! Seriously though, if you want an EXCELLENT scale that is worth every penny and more, pick one of these lil bad boys up!

Nice pocket size scale. Very easy to use. Easy to read backlit display. Looks sturdy. Failry accurate readings and nice add on 100 g calibration weight and extra pair of batteries.

Has most of the modes of measurement (gm, oz and item count most useful for me).

Highly recommended for calculating postage for small mailers and weighing Herbs and medication.

This scale does exactly what it is supposed to do. Measures to the .1g flawlessly and includes a high quality calibration weight. The scale is small enough to fit in your pocket. I highly recommend it, for whatever you may be using it for. Let's just say it has already paid for itself in my case!

This little scale seemed to be an awsome deal with the price and all, but after about 4 or 5 times using it, it started to be off by a couple .1g. This is not what you want in a scale. Accuracy is the key and this scale disappoints in that department. - Us Balance - Best Scale - Kitchen Scale - Pocket Scale - Small

Click here for more information I purchased this scale to weigh chemicals for amature rocketry. The biggest problem that I have run into is that the power save feature turns off the scale while I am still adding chemicals to the weight dish. When you turn the scale back on, it zeros itself out. It slows me down alot. Other than that, it has worked fine so far. For the price, I'd say it's a good deal.

It's accurate and would be good for a wide variety of uses. It's nice that it takes 2 AAA batteries instead of the expensive flat round ones that die out very quick. For some reason the expensive scales (over $20) always seem to use these batteries.



It's definitly a good scale at $8...if you want something nicer with a stainless steel weigh surface spend $20 or more on a better one. The scale is ALL plastic and made in China, so know that before buying.

The little scale turned on with no problems, but I quickly realized that it was giving results that were very inaccurate. It would measure 10-15% less than a calibrated scale. No problem, I thought, as the instructions said it just needed a quick calibration. The problem, the ONLY way to calibrate it is with a 500g weight. My calibration weight kit does not contain this, and to purchase this weight is 2 to 3 times more than the cost of the scale. Defeats the purpose of an economical, small scale. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt by giving it 2 stars, with the assumption that it may be accurate if it came calibrated. I'm off to buy a different scale now..

First of all, after retrieving the mail, I noticed a small package, I got really excited and though it was my 20mW green laser, but it was actually this scale. It was 100x smaller than i thought it would be! When they say "pocket scale", they mean it! This thing is smaller than my wallet, but a little bit thicker. Gets the job done for me, weighing out chemicals for backyard pyrotechnics and the like.



Pros:

+ 500g capacity, with .1 resolution, aka: 35.7g as an example reading, but also has oz, dwt, and ozt modes.

+ tray that doubles as cover to keep dust out

+ tare/zero and calibration functions

+ small! fits just about anywhere

+ bright backlight and easy to read numbers

+ simple to operate, ready to go right out of the box with included batteries!

+ 2 AAA batteries, not those rare button types!

+ black color and fairly easy to clean

+ made of plastic, nice and light

+ gets the job done!



Cons:

- its very small size might make it hard to weigh bigger containers/items [but im sure you could figure a way around this, something flat, tare/zero function...]

- someone else pointed out the scale auto-powers down after a short delay, which can happen while you mentally calculate how much more you need to add.

- a super slight deviation at times, such as: 45.3g then after several seconds shows 45.4/45.2g and then goes back to 45.3g. [so if you need absolutely precise measurements, you need to go look for a professional scale], this is a non-issue for me, one decimal precision is much better than +/- 2 whole grams...

- it is made of plastic, so dont expect to drop it off a table multiple times and have it be accurate, but the price makes it a no brainer to just buy a new one



All in all, this is an awesome deal! I am very tempted to buy 2 or 3 more if I find some money...HDE was very quick, 3 whole days before the expected delivery time, and received the exact product as advertised. Its the performance you would expect from a product 3-5x the price [yes including shipping].



If you need a very small portable scale that works, look no further!

For a small inexpensive scale this one works great. It is very sensitive and does a great job for a pocket sized scale. Be carefull to make sure you have the weighing tray centered on the weight sensor though, with it's high level of sensitivity it is easy to get a false reading if you do not have the tray in the right position.

for the price you can't beat it. the scale works as it should and would recomend it to anyone looking for a digital acale. i have owned quite a few scales in the past in which i paid in upwards of a $100, this scale is just as could a a fraction of the price.

I purchased this scale so I could weigh small packages/envelopes and print out USPS First Class Mail (FCM) shipping labels with exact weight in ounces. I'm glad to say that this scale has not disappointed me.



If you print out your own USPS FCM labels online then you get free Delivery Confirmation so this scale has already paid for itself at least 3 times over. Before I was going to my local post office and purchasing Delivery Confirmation for .90 cents for each package but now with this little wonder I can weigh my own packages and save cash. If you mail several small packages every week via FCM then the savings really do add up.



Despite it small size (2 1/2" wide x 3 1/2" long) it can weigh large envelopes because the cover also acts as a supporting tray. If you mail 8" x 13" bubble wrap envelopes frequently like I do then this scale will be perfect.



I'm very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this item to anyone who is looking for a quality scale at an economical price to determine if their packages qualify for USPS FCM. - Pocket Scale - Digital - Fast Weigh - Kitchen Scale

Digital Scale 01 - pocket scale, digital

Click here for more information No other reviewer mentions what calibration weight this scale requires. An information I wish was available when I ordered it. Although I did my homework I still wasn't able to find this info anywhere. This info should have been sent by the manufacturer to Amazon. The only clue you get from Amazon -even though it is not their fault - is in the "frequently bought together" section where a 50g calibration weight is suggested. So I bought the 50g only to discover (once I opened the box and read the instructions) that the manufacturer of the scale specifically requires a 500g calibration weight for this scale. This information is essential, I believe, and should have been made available to Amazon by the manufacturer. More so, I tried to contact the manufacturer and left a message asking them to tell me which calibration weight they recommend before I buy the scale. They never bothered to call me back. For this I give the manufacturer a rusty 1 star. How you treat customers is almost as important as the quality of your product.

For the way the scale functions I give it 4 stars- it seems to work very well for the weights that it is designed to measure - (down to .1 g or 100mg). To Amazon, who tried to fix my problem, I give 5 shining stars! but I'm still waiting to see the info changed here, so that no more people buy the wrong calibration weight like I did, despite all my efforts to find out which one was required! So get the 500g calibration weight if you think you will need one for this scale.

American Weigh Blade 1000 Digital Mini Pocket



I was looking for a mini portable digital scale to measure food and ingredients for cooking and eating. I searched online and saw this scale as the best one out of all that I had researched. Best for the following: best price, cute, compact, portable, has carrying case offering protection, weighs items up to 1000 g, could weigh in oz, g, and something else.



I contacted the seller and he replied exponentially fast and he answered all of my questions! (Other sellers I had contacted did not reply sadly.) And the product arrived quickly as well to Bellingham (they don't ship to Canada).



I'm loving my new scale ... it's proving to be very handy. And oh, it came calibrated! I tested it with an American nickel and it showed up as 5 g!



Thank you ... I'm as happy as can be and would recommend this scale and this company to others with great faith!

The first vendor sent me the wrong scale, but Amazon made it right finding another vendor and honoring the original price. Kudos to Amazon for great customer service. As for the review. The scale is fine as are the other American Weigh pocket scales. They are good products, accurate and reliable. I also have the 650g unit which I really like. Just pick the one that suits your needs re: size, weight capacity and resolution (.1 or .01g). This one is a little biggger than some but it has two trays and a leatherette case. 4 Stars because the unit and outer tray was a bit scratched / marred and not really pristine. I never calibrated them as they are very close to my calibration weights and each other and I surely do not need precision more than .1g per 100g. Oh - by the way, I heard a rattle inside and eventually took it apart. Couldn't find the problem but after re-assembling and studying it more carefully I discovered it was the push buttons themselves on the blade. No problem though.

I bought this primarily for weighing model train rolling stock (cars) and locomotives. It's reliable - and phenomenal.



The shell it comes in fits snugly over the scale, so I just use my smallest precision screwdriver to nudge up the lid and open it - a tiny inconvenience. Eventual it may loosen, but it doesn't really matter.



The scale weighs in .xx oz or .xx g, the TARE features works great, and it times out quickly to save battery life. When you fold out the arm (in picture) with the buttons, a foot on the bottom of the arm keeps it nice and level. It came in a vinyl/faux-leatherette sleeve that protects it nicely. I can weight the weights I'm going to add to a car (e.g., spare nuts or other metal) and get the weight precisely to NMRA standards. Our derailments (which are frustrating) dropped like a stone after bulking up all our rolling stock to NMRA stds. 1000 g max, but I'll not come near that with my application (HO scale).



I couldn't find a product anything near this one in quality and reliability in any brick-and-mortar store (kitchen center, home center, cook shop, discount, department, etc.). A great value; highly recommended.

I really LOVE this scale. I love the fact that when I start it up if I have the container on it already it subtracts the container's weight from the measurement. I love that it's really small and compact, I always have it with me. The case itself can act as the container to hold the food. My scale was already calibrated and I checked the weight with a nickle, which weighs 5 grams and it was perfect. I would definitely purchase again, I highly recommend this scale! - Pocket Scale - Digital - Weed - American Weigh - Kitchen Scale - Digital Scale 01

Measuring Tools - pocket scale, american weigh

Click here for more information I bought this unit to weigh gold and silver coins and bullion. It's a very sturdy yet compact unit. It fits in a pocket or purse or any bag. It seems to be very well made and the scales are accurate.



When I first got the unit and turned it on, it didn't work. I discovered the batteries were loose. Actually, the batteries should be outside the unit when shipped.



In any case, while I've not owned them long, I'm very pleased with them. The price is exceptional and EZ Sales are just super to deal with.



I was a bit annoyed that the unit did not come with a calibration weight. Be sure and get the 500 gram weight for this model. You won't need it the first time you use the unit, but at some point, you will.



Highly recommended.



Update: After using the scales for checking coin weight for awhile now, I've noticed that it's not totally accurate. Even after calibration. A silver dollar should weigh 31.1 grams. I have them weigh from 31.1 to 31.5. But the troy ounce is always 1oz, as it should be.



There is a margin of error. So if you need extreme accuracy, you'll have to spend a lot more money. But if you want to be just quite close, this will do fine.

I ordered this scale to weigh small parts for RC cars and it has performed excellent. As others have mentioned you need to remove the batteries from the unit before using the scale because the batteries are shrink wrapped in plastic. For the price I didn't expect the build quality to be great so I wasn't shocked at the fairly cheap build quality. The plastic casing feels ok but the battery cover feels cheap and loose. The protective cover for the stainless steel weighing platform is not too bad though. The scale is small about 4" x 3" in size but the weighing platform is decently sized covering about 70% of that area.



In terms of ease of use and accuracy it's a great little scale with a nice sized backlit LCD with an auto shutoff to conserve battey power. To get accurate results you need to place it on a flat non-moving surface because this scale is VERY sensitive. I've found the scale to be very consistent by weighing the same objects many times and the results were always within +/- 0.1 grams for small items that are less than 30g. The scale comes ready to use and calibrated from the factory, however if you ever need to recalibrate this model you will need to use a 500g calibration weight, you cannot use smaller calibration weights because they will not calibrate correctly. Also keep in mind that environmental factors will affect the scale readings such as ambient temperature, strong drafts from ceiling fans and magnetic fields.



This is a precision instrument so should be adequately taken care of eg don't drop it, don't let it sit in direct sunlight, don't keep it in high humidity areas and also store the scale lying flat not vertical. All in all a great low cost and accurate pocket sized scale that is very easy to use.

The price was excellent. The scale works well, and I haven't noticed any of the inconsistencies noted by other reviewers.



The clamshell cover and stainless steel scale plate are excellent features, as is the 'indiglo-style' backlight to the display, which was an unexpected, though very welcome, surprise, and the batteries were included (also a nice surprise these days).



I, too, noticed that the batteries were crooked and the unit didn't work immediately when I opened the package, though this appears to be deliberate to keep the batteries from draining while in transit. Once they are unwrapped (mine were shrink-wrapped, and installed in the scale fully wrapped), the scale works fine.



All in all, it is very nice, quick and easy to use, and took precisely two days to get to me with standard shipping -- astoundingly fast service.



I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

The scale is constructed quite nicely, and the black casing with stainless steel weighing pad adds for a nice polished look. It comes with batteries (which I discarded because they were a nameless Chinese brand) but the thought of adding batteries free of charge is nice. In the battery compartment there is a place to store an extra set of batteries (which I do, it makes it feel weightier/higher quality). It's very slim and is easily stored. Instructions are printed on the inside of the lid which is nice. Another reviewer said not to calibrate it, but I purchased a 500 gram calibrating weight and did it just to see if it would work okay and it did. The scale said 500.6 grams before I calibrated it, so it was fairly accurate to begin with and most likely won't require calibration for a while. Good looks, accurate and repeatable results, excellent price, what more could you want in a 600 gram scale?

When it was working it was flaky. It would weigh the exact same thing out differently . (Margin for error was about .2 of a gram for every 5 grams on the scale.) After just a few uses, It said the batteries were dead. (came with some cheap generic chinese batteries) When I opened up the compartment, one of said batteries had been leaking battery acid all over the inside of the scale. Needless to say all the metal parts were rusted out and it never turned on again. BUYER BEWARE THIS IS A SUB PAR PRODUCT. - Pocket Scale - American Weigh - Kitchen Scale - Coins - Jewelry - Digital
