I primarily use this to ship out packages and having this device beats holding a package in your hands, standing on a scale, then standing on the scale again without the package, then do math to get the difference. Saves a ton of time and has a nice large display showing the weight.

This is a great scale that I purchased for sending out ebay packages. Its quite large and well built so it can handle large boxes. 20lbs is no problem at all. It ships with plastic wrap on its steel pad and is battery powered requiring no plug in. I had some difficulty with very light items and for packages under 1lb it may not be the best but that normally is not required.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT SCALE for 5 OUNCES and heavier!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
I chose this scale after looking at many on Amazon, and reading the negative reviews. Most of the brands and models had a fair number of individual items with SERIOUS issues, where they became completely non-functional or grossly inaccurate very quickly. With this one, most of the negative comments had to do with not being useful under 5 or 6 ounces, even though the description AT THE TIME I BOUGHT IT said its minimum was 2 ounces (it now says 5 ounces). I figured this was the lesser of the evils, since I expect most of what I will be weighing to be heavier than 6 ounces.

I tested this scale with a dozen items that I first weighed at both FedEx and USPS. These included 3 sizes of books, 3 and 8 pound dumbbells, small and medium canned cat food, a can of Perrier, a glass paperweight, a CD and a DVD in their cases, and my cell phone. The FedEx scale was in pounds and tenths of pounds; the USPS in pounds, ounces, and tenths of ounces. Not surprisingly, these two "official" sources were in close, but not exact, agreement. Converting the FedEx measurements to compare to USPS, I found that FedEx ranged from one ounce lower than USPS on the 8 pound dumbbell, to .6 ounces higher on a 7.5 pound dictionary. On smaller weights, they were closer together. Each was high half the time, and low half the time. They were only in exact agreement on the paperweight, at .5 pounds. All of this helped me figure out how much "wiggle room" might be acceptable on my scale, reading in pounds and full ounces.

I am very pleased with how it compares. It was a bit light on the dictionary: .1 pound vs FedEx; .8 ounces vs USPS. It rounded .7 ounces down to zero ounces on the 3 pound dumbbell, vs USPS. Every other time, it correctly rounded the tenths of ounces that USPS had, and matched the less precise readings from FedEx.

The lightest item my scale could read was 6 ounces (I did NOT have a 5-ounce item). However, by placing the 8-ounce paperweight on the scale with lighter items, and then subtracting its weight from the readout, I found the scale to be quite accurate. It gave a weight of 2 ounces, compared with USPS at 2.8 ounces, on the DVD in its case, but every other time, the rounding was correct. It always matched the less precise readings from FedEx. I will probably weigh the first several items I ship on "official" scales too, just to be extra-sure of its accuracy.

I currently plan to use this scale for low to very low volume on-line selling. I've placed it on a shelf in a very solid bookcase, so it won't need to be moved or jostled. Ideally, I should get it a dust cover. I'll keep my list of recorded weights, and re-test the scale now and then. And I'll update this review if there is ever a problem or issue with the scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Did I Wait SO Long To Buy This!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017
Verified Purchase
I absolutely LOVE this scale - I don't know why I waited so long to get it!

I've been getting shipping supplies from USPS & UPS - boxes, envelopes, etc. I wanted to get a scale they had on their site, but it only weighs up to 330 lbs, and was $73, and I couldn't justify the price for what I'll use it for. I decided to try Amazon - and well...this is almost exactly like the scale on the USPS website...there's quite a few differences...making THIS purchase very easy!

The Price for the Smart Weigh - better then any other scale I've looked at!
Weight - I can weigh in KG, G, LB, and LB AND OZ!
Battery - I can use a 9V Battery OR use the USB. It also has Manual or Auto OFF!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that there's a cord with the LCD Display - I can put big boxes on the platform and not have to bend down with flashlight and magnifier <HA!> to read it - I just pull the Display to me and boom!
I also LOVE that this scale works on Tile AND Carpet!! I weighed a box of tools on our Tile, and then on the Carpet and I got the same reading.
This is a well made, durable scale that should last me a very long time as long as I take care of it.

I got this for 1 reason. I used to blow glass, make glass beads for jewelry, and ornaments for Christmas Trees <although people just wanted them for windows too!. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and broke my neck and back while on active duty. I got very sick in February and they just diagnosed me with a rare cancer in my lung <not from smoking>. SO~ I have to stop making anything with glass, as there are teeny tiny particles you breathe in when melting glass...even using a mask. I have at least 750 pounds of glass rods in my studio - that has to go. It sure helps to have a scale to weigh boxes that contain glass like this because it is VERY heavy! In all honesty - this is the only reason I bought the scale.
BUT!! I can use it for traveling - YES!! I can weigh suitcases before we even leave the house. I was once truly embarrassed when I over-packed by less than a pound - but had to dig and dig to take out something to bring me under...all in front of "everyone" standing around or checking in. UGH!! But no more!
For the $35 I spent on this scale - when I'm done I can store it in a desk drawer, or my filing cabinet until I need it again.
I use Paypal, and when I make a sale....I package the items <I use Flat Rate Priority>, weigh the box <Flat Rate Priority does have weight limits..I think 70 pounds- but I've never gotten 70 pounds in a Sm,Md,Lrg Flat Rate box...yet!>, pay for and print a shipping label...then take my boxes to the Post Office and hand the boxes over! I have yet to pay any additional money - the boxes all weight the same as they did at home using this scale!

I am so happy with my purchase of this Scale. In reading a lot of the reviews - I can see this company does have great customer service which I won't hesitate to call should the need arise. All in all - I absolutely recommend this Scale, and the Seller!

I didn't receive any discounts or free stuff. I pay for my purchases!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecta para pesar paquetes o incluso maletas

Envío muchos paquetes por mensajería, y siempre me piden el peso. Así que me decidí a comprar esta por el precio y la verdad es que estoy muy satisfecho. Utiliza una pila solamente, por lo que es perfectamente portátil (nunca he tenido que cambiarla por el momento). Además, el otro día un amigo la utilizó para pesar su maleta, ya que iba a viajar en avión ese mismo día. ¡Yo la recomiendo!

Ich war lange Zeit auf der Suche nach einer Waage, mit er sich auch Größere Ding (sowohl von den Maßen, als auch vom Gewicht) problemlos wiegen lassen.

Vielfach habe ich nur sehr hochwertige Artikel gefunden, die dann einen entsprechenden Preis hatte. Bei der suche nach einer preiswerten Alternative entschied mich vielfach aufgrund schlechter Verarbeitung und Funktionalität gegen ein Billigprodukt. Hier habe ich nun den aus meiner sich optimalen Kompromiss: moderater Preis bei trotzdem ordentlicher Qualität.

Aufgrund der gebürsteten Oberfläche der Wiegeplattform sehr robust und gleichzeitig leicht zu reinigen.
