Pros: Fantastic value for money. A quarter of the price of what I have paid for a similar secondhand product here in Australia.I have checked the accuracy against other scales with spot-on results.Can be callibrated, which is an important function that was missing on a set I previously owned. Also has clear, easy to follow instructions for callibration on underside of the cover, so no frustrating mucking around trying to work out if you've done it right!Sensitive to 0.01g. Most cheaper scales here are only sensitive to 0.1g. The prices of those are still significantly higher than DX price for this product!Take AAA batteries, which I love, as I have plenty of rechargeables. Blue backlight is nice and bright, making the display easy to read.Cover fits well and can be removed and replaced without disturbing the weighing pan. The cover is shaped so that turned upside down, can be used to weigh items such as tiny beads, which would otherwise roll off the pan.
Cons: I purchased 3 sets. 2 worked perfectly, without needing callibration, straight from the box. 1 set I thought were faulty as were not reading accurately, but after a few hours i was able to callibrate them and they work well now, but require callibration more often than the others.
Other Thoughts: I purchased a 100g callibration weight at the same time as I bought the scales. It only cost a couple of dollars and I'd recommend doing so if purchasing any scales if you want to maintain accuracy. Usually the capacity of the scale is the weight required for callibration.
Bottomline: Great quality product for a fantastic price.
Pros: The scale is very easy to use, looks good, and is priced reasonably.
Cons: I used this once, not long after I bought it. It sat on my shelf for 9 months undisturbed, and will not work. I have replaced the batteries, testing the power going into it, the piece of junk just won't power on. For me it was a one-time use toy, but I was hoping for a tool.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: I enjoyed it the one time I got to use it, and like the handy case it comes in. The fact that it won't turn on again is a major letdown.
Pros: It's accurate and compact. Comes with batteries and is very quick and response. You don't have to wait for the scale to settle or adjust. I plan to use mine for making arrows to correct mass, and for cooking.
Cons: limited maximum mass only 100 grams, but what can you expect for something so small? AAA batteries suck to replace, would have preferred AA batteries.
Other Thoughts: It seems to do its job quickly and precisely. No complaints so far. Great for spices and herbs. As well as measure ammunition mass
Bottomline: If you need to measure the mass of small low mass objects like sand or bullets / arrows it works great. Really cheap too.
Pros: excelente precision, podes medir 10 veces lo mismo y dara siempre la misma mediada, incluso con variaciones de temperatura de un par de grados celcius.
Cons: la iluminacion del display no es muy homogenea, pero cumple perfectamente su funcion. la proteccion que puede brindar el estuche es anecdotica, hay que cuidarla mucho de las caidas.
Other Thoughts: incluye dos pilas AAA las cuales vinieron dentro de la caja por sobre el estuche el cual quedo marcado por estas, seria bueno que vinieran fuera de la caja y a un lado. si se prende con la tapa puesta la balanza no declara cero, significa que la tapa comprime la bascula, esto no se si es bueno o malo.
Bottomline: vale cada centavo y unos cuantos mas tambien.
