What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Product is as described and works fantastic. Not bad. Aug 2017 update); still using it.
Great value for the price. Flawless transaction. Greta value for money. One of the lightning deals so came a few dollars off.
These scales are a convenient size being approximately 4. Inches. Alternative measurements are in carats, grains or dwt. They would also be a good investment if you had a reasonable quantity of scrap precious metal to sell to avoid being cheated.
Cons
I want a scale that weighs things accurately, not one that acts as a calculator. It kind of makes me think the scale isn't well lubricated. Not very good for precision at under 5mg.
Highlights
Quality
Overall i am happy with this purchase
It seems to have a 3mg error on it even with the cover down and repeated weighing
For the price its acceptable but if you need accuracy beyond 5mg this is not the product for you
I have found them to be rather fragile however in that moving them around frequently can mess with the calibration very easily ... Read More
Price
This price is outstanding competing with products more than triple its price range
Competitiveness
It is substantially more accurate than most of its competitors in this price range which only purport to measure to two decimal places 10mg
5 inches and can easily be carried in my wife’s handbag
So after the calibration i started weighing coins and noticed that there does happen to be a 4mg so that is 0

Usual bad things about cheap scale are that they are in cheap plastic or they are not as precise as they say they are

Not great often wanders within seconds of calibrating while calibration weights are still on the scale

Edittip the cantalever design of the platform on this scale seems prone to innacuracy simply due to torque increasing on a lever the further from the fulcrum point you place the mass

I did give it away and ordered a different scale with a more physics friendly design

However it seems good for weighing small items
