(Black), PS-25 : Postage Scale : Office Products Review: Despite a few bad reviews, this scale is PERFECT. - I bought this so I could expand sales on eBay, and so I didnt have to make a special trip to the post office with an item i was unsure about the weight on. I have used it a few times since it arrived, and so far, I am very happy with this scale. It is very easy to use, and it come per-calibrated, so it was just plug it in and you are good to go. I had an item that i brought to work once and weighed ( a small urban vinyl toy) and its weight was 5.7 ounces. Knowing this when I got this scale I found another one of the items (same series and size, just different character, so weights should be the same or similar) and my scale measured the similar item as 5.8 ounces. So I will say it is fairly accurate on its weights, since all figures from that series of items should be about the same weight. I have weighed several other items, and have found it to read the same on multiple weighs, meanings it doesn't fluctuate when reweighing the same item, if it tells you its 5.2, it will tell you 5.2 every time. So it is consistent as well, I know some cheaper scales can be inconsistent with the same item. I have only had a few chances so far to play around with the scale and use it, but from what I can tell, it works perfectly. It also has a flip up tray on top so you can easily weight items such as letters and flat shipping envelopes. If you are in the market for a good quality scale, at a wonderful price, this is definitely the scale for you. You will see some reviews of buys saying it did not come calibrated, and it required an item of exactly 22.5 lbs to calibrate, and things of that nature, that has not been my experience, but if you happen to come across a situation like that, then by all means, take a breather and contact desertcart and let them know that you got a machine that was not properly calibrated at its factory and you would like it to be exchanged, I am sure that fine CS people at desertcart will be able to help you with that. So once again, if you need a great scale on the cheap, this is the scale for you! Review: Accurate, useful tool - If you deal with shipping items on a regular basis, you're all too familiar with the disgusting lines at the post office. But hang on, there are mail drop-off boxes everywhere, and even if you live closer to a postal center, you can save time by arriving with prepaid labels, toss your packages into the large mail slots and jump back out, while the long line of grouchy, unprepared people stare at that one ebayer with his box full of little packages he needs to buy postage for. As many shippers offer online purchase discounts, it becomes necessary to be able to provide the weight for an accurate cost. I picked up this unit for what seems to have been a bargain price. This unit can hold a LOT of weight, compared to many smaller scales I have seen. The size is decent- it's not too large, but it doesn't look fragile either. While it looks simple, there's nothing particularly bad about having an easy interface to interact with. Mostly I just turn it on, weigh something, and turn it back off. No problems with that. For odd-shaped items or larger things, the platform folds upwards, making an easel in which to prop the item up so you can get a reading. You can also press a hole button, which grabs onto the weight and freezes it on the screen. There's a slot for a 9v battery (not included), but if you have a wall plate available, the manufacturers included a power cable. For other models of this particular brand/style of scale, people complained about the display. I have no qualms- the display is backlit, which is great for the evenings or darker days. Of course, the viewing angle is terrible, as is the fashion with those old digital screens, but I'm always directly facing the panel so there's no problem there. For the price and the time it saves me from going to the post office, this scale is definitely one of my 'justified' purchases that I'm glad I invested in. ## Features - 1.PREMIUM QUALITY: Renowned as the leading manufacturer of digital scales, American Weigh Scales excels in precision innovation.

I've been using my kitchen scale, which has a weight limit of 11 pounds, but sometimes its features just fell short. Aside from not being able to accommodate heavier items, it could also not handle large items/packages. So I settled on this scale from American Weigh. Even though I bought it from a third party seller, it came supremely packaged---secured by form-fitting styrofoam and wrapped in plastic, along with a booklet of instructions. Needless to say, it had NOT been previously opened or messed with. The only thing I had to do to get it up and running was place the top plastic tray onto the base and install the batteries (which were included). I like the fact that the scale uses batteries (AA, which are quite convenient), or, if you're going to be using it for long periods at a time, you can choose to use the included wall adapter. The first thing that made me smile after pressing the power button (it powers up and is ready for use in less than five seconds) was the backlit screen. It is quite bright, with a dark black readout, which just makes using the scale that much easier. You can cycle through 4 different MODEs, which should be quite sufficient for almost everyone needing a postal scale. While it can measure out in .1 ounces (one-tenth of an ounce), the most accurate it measures in grams is by .2 (one-fifth of a gram)---I suppose you'll need a Kitchen Scale if you want to get more precise regarding grams. Of course this scale has a TARE feature. I've yet to notice any legitimate scales that lack that feature. One feature that I really like, and have found useful, is the HOLD feature. If you have a particularly large item/package sitting on the scale, and your view of the screen is obstructed, you just press the HOLD button on the side of the scale, remove your item/package, and the measured value remains on the screen for a handful of seconds (long enough for you to get a chance to read it). I am very pleased with my purchase of this scale. I would definitely recommend it anyone who is looking for a good-quality, accurate postal scale with many useful features. And the absolute best part is I didn't have to shell out any more than seventeen bucks! ## Frequently Bought Together - American Weigh Scales Digital Shipping Postal Scale, Package Postage ScaleBacklit LCD Screen55lbs. x 0.01lbs.
