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

American Weigh - pocket scale, american weigh

Click here for more information I recently purchased this scale and I completely love it. First off, let me say that I was very hesitant about buying this based on the "Two thumbs down" guy's review. I said heck with it and bought it anyways because it was exactly what I was looking for and in my price range. However, right out of the box I had the same problems. Scale was all over the map, sometimes even going negative. I scoured the manual for troubleshooting tips but to no avail.



Finally it dawned on me and sure enough, there were two pieces of cardboard in between the scale and the base for shipping purposes. I removed those and the scale works perfectly. Another thing is that the manufacturers website says there must be a 1g minimum in order to weigh. This isn't true. It weighs from .1g up with no problems.



It really is a beautiful scale. Very accurate, I reweighed several objects and they were dead nuts. The weighing platform is 4"x4". It's not the least bit chintzy and in fact has a very pleasant display. Moreover it comes with a hard plastic case that double as weighing trays!

I recently purchased this scale to help me in my coin and precious metal collecting. The scale is small and easy to use, while it is not the most accurate scale in the world it is accurate to 0.1 gram which is more than accurate enough for my use.



ONE MAJOR COMMENT TO ANYONE BUYING THIS SCALE, AS NOTED IN OTHER REVIEWS, THIS SCALE COMES WITH 2 PIECES OF PACKING CARDBOARD THAT IS WEDGED BETWEEN THE SCALE PLATE AND THE BODY OF THE SCALE. IF YOU DO NOT REMOVE THESE THE SCALE WILL GIVE MAJOR MISS-READS. THE CARDBOARD PIECES ARE ALMOST UN-NOTICEABLE UNLESS YOU LOOK FOR THEM. THERE IS NO MENTION OF THESES PIECES OF CARDBOARD IN THE LITERATURE THAT COMES WITH THE SCALE.



All in all I like this scale and it suits my needs at an affordable price. I'm Pleased!

So far so good. I'm happy with the product though I've had it for but a single day. I am curious about the battery life but I'll see about that later as time goes by.



It works as is advertised. I placed a calibration weight on it and that was at 200g. I did a 100g and the 200g and that too was accurate. The trick is to keep it on a stable surface and to keep other electronic devices away from it at the same time.



There was/is a crack in the smaller of the two trays that come with it. (I've decided that the bottom case portion is to be used as a tray.) I didn't mind that much at all and it doesn't impact the accuracy or efficacy of the product either way.

good scale, auto shutoff (in about 60 seconds) makes it nearly unuseable. If you have to weigh multiple items precisely, like mixing paints, which is what I bought it for. You need everything out and open and ready to go and hopefully you can get it done in time... annoying.

I bought three of these scales for use in a coffee and espresso lab. The oldest of the three is still going strong, even though it has had water splashed on it, and has been in continuous use for two years now.



A new trend in coffee and espresso preparation is weighing everything - your whole beans, your ground coffee, your water, even the shot of espresso you're brewing. Weighing gives a much more accurate measurement than visual ml/oz viewing in a measuring cup or shot glass. This is especially true with espresso, given that crema can be large in volume, thus screwing up a visual measurement of the amount of liquid brewed.



This scale fits the bill, by virtue of the 2kg max weight while still resolving to 0.1g. It's not without its problems, but the price earns it 4 stars from me.



The large weight allowance allows you to put portafilters on it (then tare them out, and weigh the amount of ground coffee in the portafilter). It even allows you to brew a big 8 or 10 cup press pot right on the scale, accurately measuring the water used in grams instead of in mls (1g water = 1ml water).



The display is easy to read; blue with black letters that are readable from most normally used angles.



The tray is wide enough to hold most items I use on it, from press pots to cupping cups; it's a bit small for portafilters, but you can balance them on the scale.



TAREing the scale is very quick; startup is a bit slower, but not bad.



The price is fantastic, and earns an extra star from me just on that basis. If it were $35 or more, it would only get three stars.



Very accurate. I have some calibrated weights and it was bang on, right out of the box.



What's preventing this from being five stars?

- time out is too short. It's 60 seconds, but honestly, that needs to be longer, or at least user-adjustable.

- I had to put non-slip rubber bumpers on the bottom of it - otherwise it slid around too much

- there is a bit of a delay when you add or subtract items from the scale - it's not instant (takes about half a second sometimes to update)



Overall a great scale at the price. Could be better, but there's nothing else currently available that matches it features vs. price. - Pocket Scale - American Weigh - Coffee - Espresso - Accurate - Boy Scouts

Click here for more information I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond. I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats. Then I used the scale to weigh the stone. It weighed 3.4 carats, meaning that it's cubic zirconia, which has a specific gravity much higher than that of a diamond.

Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it.



By the way, this scale is quite small and light, can use several different units of measure, and arrived with batteries installed and ready for the calibration to be tested and the scale to be used.

I collect tobacco pipes and blend pipe tobacco for my own use, and I needed a small digital scale for measuring out the differant tobacco's. I originally bought the 100 gram scale but realized that I should have purchased the 600 gram scale for weighing larger amounts.I knew it was worth the money so I purchased the 600 gram scale too.They also work great for weighing my small packages and envelopes that I mail,now I can figure my postage before going to the post office. They are both very easy to use and I'm very satisfied with the quality of both of these scales.I recommend these two scales to anyone needing a small scale. And for the price,I am glad that I bought both of them. Good Luck

DBRoth provides the one piece chrome calibration weight as pictured, in a plastic carrying case. I saw in reviews of other vendors that the 100g weight provided was inferior and in one case, missing a screw-on handle (!). The scale is very nice for a variety of uses where precision is required, and the sensitivity to measure grains at this price is an outstanding value. Readout is bright and and calibration is pass/fail, a nice feature imo.

First, although the item arrived within the estimated period (barely), it was one of the slowest deliveries I've ever had on an Amazon purchase.



Then, as others here have written, there was no calibration weight included. No space for it in the package, no separate package, no indication that it should have been included. When contacted, Amazon said it could not rectify this by sending me the weight; the seller had apparently changed its policy without changing its listing.



Last, the batteries were already set in the active battery compartment without a separator between them and the contacts, and thus they were DOA.



All around one of the worst purchasing experiences I've had with Amazon, but it's all on the store that listed these scales, Potential Dynamix. I returned the item, got a refund approved, ordered a Polder scale directly from Amazon and received it within three business days. My recommendation: avoid Potential Dynamix and its false advertising.

I am disappointed because this scale combo has been misrepresented. It states a 100 gram calibration weight is included and it wasn't. I can't wait a month for the turnaround of a return and refund, so I guess I get to eat it since they won't just send the calibration weight to me that THEY DID NOT INCLUDE. Give me what I paid for!!!!!

Well this happens to be my first pocket scale, and it is GREAT!



It has a sleek and compact design, it's made of black plastic and has a bright blue LED.

It is very accurate AT least to .1 (I only had other .1 scales to compare it too), but be careful it is QUITE fragile. After less than a month of owning, and I'll be honest, a fair amount of abuse the weight is off and calibration will not fix it. If you don't plan on constantly dropping this thing, then that shouldn't be a concern.



It's VERY NICE for weighing your "stuff", just be sure to get a tray for weighing, the warranty will NOT ACCEPT the scale if it has foreign residues.



Overall, an awesome value, I'm off to buy a replacement for the one I broke. AMW scales are the best!



(Also I included a picture of the product and it's contents in the "Customer Images' section, I have a card on the scale for a sizing reference for those interested)

I bought this to doublecheck a more expensive jewelry/gem scale

and was impressed with its accuracy and ease of use. Whenever

using a scale for small items, you should have a calbration weight

on hand --- this was right-on.

Occasionally it will read a thousandth of a gram low or high, but otherwise performs perfectly. Yes, you must keep air currents out off of the scale and item being weighed for 0.01 gram accuracy. Also, the scale must be placed on a very stable platform. The heavier the better. Even minute vibration of the unit will affect readings, sometimes significantly. With no way of testing the 100 gram weight itself for accuracy, I'll just comment that the chrome on it is crude. The scale itself is better made and nicer appearing than I expected from the photos. Very handy, fits in a standard pant pocket. All in all, worth every penny of the $16.99 I paid for it. - Pocket Scale - American Weigh - Grains - Homebrewing - Digital - Postal Scales

Pocket Scale - pocket scale, portable

Click here for more information I needed a scale that could measure quantities less than 10mg and did not want to buy a $1500 piece of lab equipment. If you are careful and consistent with your measuring techniques, this scale is repeatable to within a few milligrams - often to its finest resolution of 0.001g. These are essential for this performance: 1) let the scale stabilize on a hard, flat and level surface. 2) Make sure the sample tray is properly seated inside the circular detent of the scale's metal measuring platform. If you're not careful, the sample tray (as provided) can touch the body of the scale, grossly throwing off the measurement. I glued a small piece of metal to the bottom of the sample tray raising it higher for more clearance. I'll often tap the table that the scale is on to help everything settle. 3) calibrate as described in the manual. 4) place and remove samples consistently and carefully - don't drop them. Even the slightest impact can throw off the measurement. 5) wait for ten seconds or so for the sample to settle. 6) for minuscule samples, use the ten gram weight in addition to the sample to put the scale in the middle of its operating range. With a little care, one will get closer to the performance of a lab-grade milligram scale than anything else for this price. Nice scale.

I was hesitant to buy this given the review indicating that there may be a problem with the power supply to this scale. However, I was hoping that the other reviewer's case may have been isolated given the vast number of scales that AWS offered.



I've been using mine for about two weeks, making sure to turn it on and weigh the calibration weight at least once a day to check a) the power to the scale, and b) the accuracy of the scale over a period of time checking for consistency.



I can say that mine doesn't have an issue with eating away at the batteries and the scale is always within a 3mg error range of the 10g weight (usually less). I would say given the cost, that it is an extremely accurate and affordable scale.

I'm amazed that you get a balance which can display to the nearest milligram for the price that I would expect to pay just for the two calibration weights, which are included. Unless you've had a course in analytical chemistry or work in a lab where precision weighings are routine, here are a few tips. Do keep in mind that it is a precision instrument - use a light touch adding weight to the pan, always use the tweezers -- do not touch the pan or weights with your bare fingers. Keep the balance in a clean environment away from fumes, and only use it on a solid vibration free surface. For precise weightings to the nearest milligram, don't lean on the table, which must be solid, level, and vibration free. This balance is a little gem and an incredible bargain.

I bought this sale for measuring spices for cooking. My kitchen scale had a 2 g resolution, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt is 1.5 g, so it was inadequate. The photos of this product are misleading, the scale is tiny! About half the size it looks in the pictures. I added a picture of the scale with a dime and a ruler to give a better idea of its size.



The construction of this scale leaves a bit to be desired. The aluminum plate that covers the area around the sensor is attached with double sided foam tape, and was slightly warped, so it had sprung away from the tape to the point where it would make contact with the tray, throwing off measurements. Once I got the aluminum plate flat and stuck to the tape, I found that the measuring trays bottom does not quite match the dimple in the sensor, so it does not sit solidly on the sensor.



This scale is less than ideal for my purpose. The measuring tray is only 1.3" in diameter, much too small to catch all of the pepper from a pepper mill, and there is a gap between the sensor and the aluminum plate that would allow crud to fall inside the unit. The ideal scale would have a measuring plate that covered the entire top surface, and an overhanging lip so that spills would land on the table, and not inside the scale. I think that I can make an alternate tray using a sheet of plastic and a toothpaste tube cap that will allow me to use this scale for my intended purpose.



Things that should have been mentioned in the description of this product:

This scale can measure using the following units: g (gram), oz (ounce), ozt (troy ounce), dwt (pennyweight), ct (carat), gn (grain)



This product gets 4 stars because it does what it is intended to do and is cheap, it looses one star because of sloppy construction.

The pan for the scale, which is essential to using it, did not have a deep enough indent, thus the side of the pan hit the edge, causing inaccurate weighing. if the load was slightly off center, the weight would be low. Fixed it by putting a dime inbetween the pan and the weighing surface. now it works well, but I always need a dime. - Pocket Scale - Portable - Accurate - Balance - Chemistry - Digital

Kitchen 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

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

American Weigh - pocket scale, american weigh

Click here for more information I recently purchased this scale and I completely love it. First off, let me say that I was very hesitant about buying this based on the "Two thumbs down" guy's review. I said heck with it and bought it anyways because it was exactly what I was looking for and in my price range. However, right out of the box I had the same problems. Scale was all over the map, sometimes even going negative. I scoured the manual for troubleshooting tips but to no avail.



Finally it dawned on me and sure enough, there were two pieces of cardboard in between the scale and the base for shipping purposes. I removed those and the scale works perfectly. Another thing is that the manufacturers website says there must be a 1g minimum in order to weigh. This isn't true. It weighs from .1g up with no problems.



It really is a beautiful scale. Very accurate, I reweighed several objects and they were dead nuts. The weighing platform is 4"x4". It's not the least bit chintzy and in fact has a very pleasant display. Moreover it comes with a hard plastic case that double as weighing trays!

I recently purchased this scale to help me in my coin and precious metal collecting. The scale is small and easy to use, while it is not the most accurate scale in the world it is accurate to 0.1 gram which is more than accurate enough for my use.



ONE MAJOR COMMENT TO ANYONE BUYING THIS SCALE, AS NOTED IN OTHER REVIEWS, THIS SCALE COMES WITH 2 PIECES OF PACKING CARDBOARD THAT IS WEDGED BETWEEN THE SCALE PLATE AND THE BODY OF THE SCALE. IF YOU DO NOT REMOVE THESE THE SCALE WILL GIVE MAJOR MISS-READS. THE CARDBOARD PIECES ARE ALMOST UN-NOTICEABLE UNLESS YOU LOOK FOR THEM. THERE IS NO MENTION OF THESES PIECES OF CARDBOARD IN THE LITERATURE THAT COMES WITH THE SCALE.



All in all I like this scale and it suits my needs at an affordable price. I'm Pleased!

So far so good. I'm happy with the product though I've had it for but a single day. I am curious about the battery life but I'll see about that later as time goes by.



It works as is advertised. I placed a calibration weight on it and that was at 200g. I did a 100g and the 200g and that too was accurate. The trick is to keep it on a stable surface and to keep other electronic devices away from it at the same time.



There was/is a crack in the smaller of the two trays that come with it. (I've decided that the bottom case portion is to be used as a tray.) I didn't mind that much at all and it doesn't impact the accuracy or efficacy of the product either way.

good scale, auto shutoff (in about 60 seconds) makes it nearly unuseable. If you have to weigh multiple items precisely, like mixing paints, which is what I bought it for. You need everything out and open and ready to go and hopefully you can get it done in time... annoying.

I bought three of these scales for use in a coffee and espresso lab. The oldest of the three is still going strong, even though it has had water splashed on it, and has been in continuous use for two years now.



A new trend in coffee and espresso preparation is weighing everything - your whole beans, your ground coffee, your water, even the shot of espresso you're brewing. Weighing gives a much more accurate measurement than visual ml/oz viewing in a measuring cup or shot glass. This is especially true with espresso, given that crema can be large in volume, thus screwing up a visual measurement of the amount of liquid brewed.



This scale fits the bill, by virtue of the 2kg max weight while still resolving to 0.1g. It's not without its problems, but the price earns it 4 stars from me.



The large weight allowance allows you to put portafilters on it (then tare them out, and weigh the amount of ground coffee in the portafilter). It even allows you to brew a big 8 or 10 cup press pot right on the scale, accurately measuring the water used in grams instead of in mls (1g water = 1ml water).



The display is easy to read; blue with black letters that are readable from most normally used angles.



The tray is wide enough to hold most items I use on it, from press pots to cupping cups; it's a bit small for portafilters, but you can balance them on the scale.



TAREing the scale is very quick; startup is a bit slower, but not bad.



The price is fantastic, and earns an extra star from me just on that basis. If it were $35 or more, it would only get three stars.



Very accurate. I have some calibrated weights and it was bang on, right out of the box.



What's preventing this from being five stars?

- time out is too short. It's 60 seconds, but honestly, that needs to be longer, or at least user-adjustable.

- I had to put non-slip rubber bumpers on the bottom of it - otherwise it slid around too much

- there is a bit of a delay when you add or subtract items from the scale - it's not instant (takes about half a second sometimes to update)



Overall a great scale at the price. Could be better, but there's nothing else currently available that matches it features vs. price. - Pocket Scale - American Weigh - Coffee - Espresso

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
