American Weigh Scales Series Digital Pocket Weight Scale 600g x 0.1g |Digital Gram Scale Small Scale Mini Food Scale Jewelry Scale Ounces/Grains Scale, Easy to Carry (Black, 1000g x 0.1g)

I needed a scale that was portable and accurate for food portions. This fit my budget and fit my needs. I can also weigh small postage and letters under 2 lbs too all in 0.1 gram increments. It's easy to use, calibrate and is very functional. It runs on 2 AAA batteries which are included. The backlight display is nice and the scale is so easy to operate. I wished there was a conversion chart included or on the inside of the lid. But then again, that is easy enough to Google and keep handy. I have one on my iPhone when I need to do a quick conversion. My scale came in silver, not black as shown. Still very very nice and portable. Perfect for those of us watching our weight and trying our best to keep an eye on portions. Very nice little scale that can easily fit in a purse, gym bag or whatever.

Update: I've dropped it, flooded it with fluids and it still works and it's still accurate. Just checked it with my standard calibration weight. The one thing I haven't done is put a weight that's too heavy on it. It's hard to do with such a small scale. 5 stars for 5 years! End update. Hey, this will weigh up to 1 kilo (or 2.2 lbs) which is good enough for most kitchen applications. The price was just so good! The jump to scales that could handle higher weights wasn't worth it. I got the 500 gm calibration weight and felt foolish ordering it because the scale was right on the money. The tare is awesome! Not every kitchen scale has this and it's a terrible pain subtracting the weight of the container from the total. Just be aware this scale has a tiny tiny footprint - 3.9 x 5.8 x 1 inches - it fits in your pocket. Not so good for large (and yet light) items. It's best for measuring spices, a cup of flour or sugar. This scale is great for measuring out small quantities very accurately. For example, they sold me tetracycline in packages for a 20 gallon tank. Well, guess what, I have a 3/4 gallon tank. Good way to kill my ailing fish trying to eyeball 1/20 minus 1/4 of assorted heap sizes. Also good for measuring out tea and getting a consistent cup.

I purchased this scale to weigh salts for beer brewing. So far, it has exceeded my expectations. The scale is accurate, keeps it's calibration (I got the 500gram calibration weight), and repeatable. I have checked the calibration several times over the year plus I have owned it, it has not needed re-calibration yet. The buttons and back-lit LED display are logically laid out and work well. For $9, this scale is a steal, I am very happy with it. ** NOTE ** Amazon keeps trying to bundle this scale with 100gram calibration weights. This scale (1000gram scale) requires the 500gram calibration weights. Pros: - Accurate (I weighed and reweighed a number of items, weight was always consistent and accurate) - Sensitive, Breathing over scale will cause weight to change. Put scale on hard heavy surface (granite counter-top is ideal) and avoid air currents if you are having problems with weight fluctuating. - Keeps calibration over long periods of time - Auto shutoff feature is nice Cons: - Case/lid is cheap plastic. Given the price point, I don't consider this to be a problem but it deserves mention - Removable weighing surface would be nice for cleaning purposes - Batteries unit came with where really cheap and only lasted 15-20 minutes of use

This is a replacement for one I damaged (a different brand) by accidentally leaning on the scale, damaging the load cell. Word to the wise - close it up when not in use! At our model train club we require a minimum weight for freight cars, and this scale makes it easy to determine if additional weight is needed. I'm normally working in the area of 0 to 10 ounces, so 1000 grams (about 2 pounds or 32 ounces) is really overkill, but makes the scale useful for other tasks. Unit worked perfectly right out of the box. I got a set of weights at the same time that were offered by Amazon, to calibrate the unit. It was dead on as received. For the kind of uses I have, it would be silly to spend $40 or $50 to get a pocket scale when this unit Is available. I texted both units and both are perfectly calibrated as received. Use it on a flat surface so that the hinged lid does not interfere with the item being weighed. Other than that, I love the units and look forward to their having a long life.

nice little scale, not perfect but close enough, unless you are looking for exact perfection then this might not be for you, but + or - a few tenths of milligram than this will do just fine. Some people will be picky, but what I use it for it does just fine. sometimes adjust + or - to original weight, but nothing crazy or to far off. Usually dead on to original measurement. may adjust = or - a tenth but usually gets back to original after a few seconds. I use to measure with confidence that it gets me within decent measurements. Like i said if you are trying to get down to tenths or hundreds then maybe another scale may be required, for regular smoke this works just fine. Will adjust properly if you are light or heavy in weight. no complaints, great pocket scale, AAA batteries so easy to replace if needed, needs a weight to be calibrated properly, but works just fine out of box, nickle measurement showed properly on first try and maintains true to original. so no complaints. I would definitely buy again without hesitation. now if you are trying to do science measurements then maybe not for you, but everyday regular use, just fine. no complaints, works fine every time, light is bright, numbers are large. buy with confidence it will meet your needs on a daily or regular basis. if you are really picky, then look elsewhere. Measures to what i buy. would buy again without hesitation. Price is fair. built in cover works well. no issues, instruction are built into lid if you need to make adjustment, haven't had the need, so happy with purchase.

Product well build and sturdy, packaged well. Overall design very rugged. Accuracy is close enough. If you want more accuracy use the SM-501. Checked against several NVLAP Class 1 weights at 500g and 100G; unit was spot on and then I calibrated the unit anyways. Still spot on. I then used mixed Class II and III weights, plus several at Class M2. 0.2g (200mg), .5g (500mg), 1g, 2g, 5g, 10g . 50g, 100g, 200g and 500g. All spot on, 0.1g (100mg) would not register. These class weights were verified on my A&D FX-300iN $800 NTEP scale after warming up and re-calibrating with a Class 1 NVLAP weight with the accuracy of 0.0001g to 0.00001g. Accuracy was decent enough for its low resolution of 0.1g w/+-0.1g for this portable $10 scale; you couldn't expect anything this good for $10 bucks anywhere.. However, ( I bought 2 of them at the same time) the scales will not read anything bellow 200mg (.2g). It will after I put a 5g weight on the unit then remove the 5g weight and then place less than 200mg on the scale. It should read either .2g or .1g, but instead reads 0.0g. Now if I put a 200mg weight on the scale it reads .2g or 200 mg every time, but if I ad separately a 100mg, 50mg, 20mg x2 and a 10mg the scale reads 0.0g even though there is exactly 200mg on the scale. Again remove the multiple weights and add a 5g weight, remove the 5g weight and place the multiple weights adding up to 200mg and it will read this. I checked the weight stacking on corners plus middle of scale with a 200g center, 100g on opposite corners (100gx2), 50g on another corner and the last remaining corner I place 2 x 20g and a 5g. The scale read 495g and each weight added was accurate displayed in the LCD as it was added one by one on both scales. You can trust this scale will do well over 200mg (.2g) for the $10 it costs. The only next scale model SM-501 is more accurate at .01g and also has Troy ounces if you need a cheaper accurate “Pocket” scale which is economical at $20-35 average. I always use a cheap pocket scale to reduce the wear on my expensive NTEP scales.

The one I received was perfect - it's accurate and works like a dream. Not to mention the 10 year warranty - WOW! I'm really impressed with the company backing that kind of guarantee, but in all honesty I think I'll just absorb the risk and buy a new one if it does stop working after a year... I had to order the 500g calibration weight separately, there is a listing here on Amazon for both the scale + weight but at this time it's $19.95 for both when I paid less than $8.00 for each (with Prime) It wasn't immediately clear which size this one used to calibrate with so I had to do some digging & research to find it. The box says 1kg so if I hadn't been paying attention I might have ordered the wrong one. On a side note in reply to the people who received damaged, possible knock-off units: The one I received came with a holographic sticker on the side that says "Genuine Product" with the company logo in the middle (at first I thought it was a football because all you could see was a W inside an oval; but it does say AWS) and also the insert was clear not white (as I've seen in some of the negative review photos) It also came with a blue 10 warranty "certificate" Maybe just something to look for if you're wondering whether you received the right one.

Came quick and very accurate for measuring bullion!

Una excelente gramera, ha durado mas de un año y hasta fecha aún sirve, duradera y muy comoda, nada grande y todo excelente

Good compact size, easy to operate and pretty precise (havent verified the accuracy). Its got a handy tare feature where you can place any container and press tare(set it to 0) then when you add things it will just show you the weight of the stuff you added..handy when your mixing resins or chemicals.

Bought this to weigh items for snailmail. Works very well. Very simple and neat. Stays in our stationery drawer. Folds up neatly and is easily transported in jacket pocket. So far batteries have lasted OK.

For me good

I really like this scale. I have bought many different models over the years to manage my daughter's very strict medical diet and I feel like this is the best portable scale I've owned. The case feels quite sturdy and stays in place (on many other scales the lid came off within a few days or weeks of use). Small size but not so much to be impractical. Good readibility
