 Excellent scales February 18, 2008

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 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?

I haven't had any of the problems--with batteries or anything else--that a few other reviewers posted. I'm absolutely delighted with this scale. I bought it to weigh yarn, and I've found it to be very useful and accurate for that. The only inconvenience is that the weighing surface is small for my purposes. That's not a fair criticism of the product, since it's intended for small objects like coins. You can plop a ball of yarn on it, no problem. But if you want to weigh a hank of yarn, a sweater, or what have you, you have to put your yarn in something first (either a plastic bowl or atop a drinking glass, so as not to get in the way of the display). Fortunately, there's a tare button, so you don't have to weigh the bowl first and subtract its weight.
The scale is also small and light enough to slip into my knitting bag. The operation of it is quite simple: hit the on button, wait to see 0.0, then put your yarn on it, making sure all the weight is directly above the weighing surface. The display is a nice bright blue and very easy to read.
Did I mention the price? This scale is far less expensive than most kitchen scales (about half), and it measures in tenths of grams rather than only in grams, which is important when measuring small amounts of yarn.
