 Disappointed August 14, 2010

From an accuracy standpoint this scale is very good. No complaints there. The scale is very easy to calibrate and it hasn't required recalibration after several uses. My shipment came with one 100 gram weight inside the package and another 100 gram weight packaged separately in a plastic bag. I don't know if this was a mistake by Amazon or not, but it was a nice bonus to get two calibration weights with my purchase. Here are my main complaints about this scale:
1. The auto shut off feature - This is extremely irritating and is the #1 reason I'm buying another scale. If you are trying to measure something that takes longer than 30 seconds to manipulate onto the measuring surface, like anything granular for example, then this is not the scale for you. It will drive you crazy that it times out before you are finished with your measurements. You have to constantly remove whatever it is you are measuring, zero out, and start all over again...in a rush no less...and try to finish before it shuts off again.
2. The lid cannot be removed because it is also the digital display, which is fine, but it doesn't lay flat when the scale is being used and that's an issue. The measuring surface is rather small, which was expected because it is a pocket scale, but because it is so small it would be helpful if the lid laid flat so we could use a separate (and larger) tray to measure whatever it is we are measuring. The attached lid stays open at an angle which prevents the option of using a separate and larger tray. This forces you to use the small measuring surface which contributes to the timing issue I complained about above.
In summary, if you are measuring harder items like gem stones then this scale would be perfect for you. But if you are measuring anything that takes time to manipulate, or if you like using larger trays to make measuring more convenient, then you should avoid this scale and find another model.
 Great product at a good price July 14, 2010

This is an easy-to-use scale that comes with a calibration weight, so you don't have to purchase it separately. The scale is compact and looks nice. The price was decent as well. Item was shipped promptly. I would recommend this product.
Excellent and Economical April 21, 2010

Sure, this scale isn't something you would buy hoping to have a chrome plate, 14k Gold buttons and a diamond encrusted case. If you need a scale that can weigh even the lightest of items, and you aren't overly concerned about the surrounding plastic case, this is the way to go.
I purchased this scale to measure out gunpowder, which is measured in Grains (much smaller than grams). Not only did this scale calibrate easily, but the tare/zero function is instant and seamless. I'm able to set my pan on the scale, tare/zero it out, pour in the gunpowder and have a dead-on accurate read to the tenth grain.
I am very pleased with this purchase and it's been invaluable to my reloading hobby.
Great except for 2 small things April 7, 2010

I picked up this little scale for use with a hobby of mine. It requires that I have measurements of about 10-15 grams with .01g accuracy. However, I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I didn't need a portable scale, but the price was right, and the reviews were good.
Overall I'm very happy with it. My measurements are consistent and accurate, but there are two problems I felt should be reported.
First, it requires calibration more often than I would like. The cal only takes like 10 seconds so doing it every 4 or 5 uses isn't that big of a deal.
Second, the lid with digital read-out remains in the tilted position so that you can read the scale. This is nice except when I need to place a larger container onto the plate. Sometimes I need something that is about 4 inches in diameter, but the lid interferes with the container. So I need to find something smaller but deeper. Which tends to be too heavy for the scale.
Outside of those problems I'm extremely happy with it.

Its a descent pocket scale but needs to be calibrated often to maintain accuracy and requires care in order to not damage item. But, if careful will serve you well.
