Product review
Capacity and resolution: This precision balance accepts up to 5,000 grams and reads down to 0.01 grams (10 mg), allowing both high-capacity and relatively fine measurements in one instrument.
What’s in the package: The scale ships with the weighing unit fitted with a removable stainless-steel weighing pan (5.6" x 7.5") and basic documentation. The housing is molded ABS plastic for impact resistance and everyday durability.
Units and controls: The instrument supports 19 selectable units — including grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds and carats — with a unit-lock option for your preferred setting and 16 preset unit combinations for quicker workflows. An easy-to-read LCD shows results and status messages.
Functions and protection: Standard laboratory functions are provided: tare/zero, check-weighing, piece counting and manual calibration using calibration weights. Overload protection helps guard the electronics and load cell against accidental heavy loads.
Setup and use: The scale has height-adjustable feet to level the platform on uneven benches and a large pan to handle bulky samples. Typical uses include laboratory measurements, classroom demonstrations, jewelry weighing, small business inventory tasks and hobby activities such as perfume blending or model materials.

Loose wiring on battery compartment
When installing batteries a soldered wire on the battery holder detached. I planned to use it plugged in, but this undermines my confidence in the build.

Very good quality and consistent readings.

Titom32 1/5
Unstable zero, unusable for precision
Even on a very stable bench the scale won’t stabilize at zero, so I can't get any precise measurements.
-
LanerAA 1/5
Slow responses and no battery socket
Very slow to respond to load changes and lacks a battery compartment.

Joce01 5/5
Meets expectations so far
Tried it once and it performs as expected. Only drawback: it runs only when plugged in.

Richard I. Cronkhite 5/5
Good value, not US-made
Offers a lot for the price, but it's not manufactured in the United States as I had assumed.
