ACCUTECK All-in-1 Series W-8250-50bs A-Pt 50 Digital Shipping Postal Scale with Ac Adapter, Silver

I've been relatively techy for years, but at a time when even the simplest things have been made complicated, this was a satisfying purchase. Without having a second scale to test accuracy, I can't speak for that, but instructions for use were straightforward.I regularly have to check the weighs of artwork I create and by to determine if certain hanging wire and other supports have the right weight capacity. So ballpark is fine.

This scale is pretty accurate for what I need it for. I do a good amount of shipping and I would love to save money on not having to overestimate the packages I am sending. With this I am actually able to weigh out the package EXTREMELY accurately. All the packages I shipped out, it was always exactly what was weighed at the post office. It was never off which is perfect. The one thing I will say is to make sure you remove that styrofoam piece between the tray and the actual scale. I actually kept those as I keep the scale in storage and it keeps the scale from breaking. The tray has a nice feature in that you can lift the top to have something to lean on in case the package is not flat. Be aware that the actual piece is just a simple plastic piece. It can handle some weight but not a ton. The hinge is a bit on the flimsy side. The total max weight it can take is 50 pounds. That being said, it is not the most ideal scale for traveling. It also does not freeze the weight so you cannot have something that covers the scale screen or else you cannot read it. Even at an angle, you are unable to read it as the coloring is off. The screen is LCD and is a bit prone to scratches so be careful. At least this is able to read to the nearest tenth of a ounce and a full pound. I actually like the ounces part as I am able to measure my card sales and such very accurately. You can also use this for light packaging (card sales). It gives you a pretty accurate reading which is great. It is battery powered and it does come with the batteries needed to power it. It also can use the wall plug (also provided) so you do not have to use the battery if needed. How long it last will depend on the batteries you use it from what I can tell. I usually go towards rechargeable battery so I never had to throw out any batteries. That being said, it most likely will not use too much battery power and could last even several months before the batteries died. You can also opt to use the power plug which will ensure you do not use any battery. Please note that it will not recharge any rechargeable inside that scale. I did test the batteries provided and they were all good so that is a good sign. The scale can handle up to 50 lb and you can zero the scale out easily. I recommend doing it every time you weight it. The reason being is that every time I take something off the scale, it tends to shift to negative weight. It does not hinder the accuracy if you zero it out though. The data is actually pretty accurate and I have not seen it miss weigh any package so far. There is pretty good grip on the bottom and for the best results use this on a flat solid surface and you do not have to worry about it sliding off. Do not use this on carpet as it causes the weight to be off. Other than that, I am very happy with this scale. It is accurate and allows you to get a very accurate weight. For me, it really helps me not have to over estimate my package weight and saves me money in the long run especially when it comes to the USPS first class package. Just an simple ounce can cost me a dollar more so no more of that. The only issue I have is the tray part that opens is a bit on the flimsy side. I am not entirely sure it can hold up to 50 lb on that attachment so be careful. It is a nice thing to have though if you happen to have something that is not flat. It does not hinder the weight measurement at all.

Best scale I've ever used. I purchased this a long time ago and it's still all I use. It is so accurate! I highly recommend this if you do a lot of mailing from your home. Well worth it!

Excelente para personas q se dedican a vender mercancía en línea te pa el peso exacto y puedes llevar el producto directamente al coreo . Tengo la mía base más d 1 año y todavía funciona como nuevo

The media could not be loaded. This scale is particularly made for parcels and packages, but it also works just as well for weighing most things under 50 pounds. I bought it primarily to use as a kitchen scale, and so far, it is doing fine.Pros:1. What I love most about this is that it works with both battery and electricity. That was my biggest issue with my last scale.2. The other positive is its flexibility in terms of various measurements, including kilograms, which was lacking in my previous scale.3. It also has a hold button that holds the reading for as long. That is very essential when preparing and measuring in the kitchen.Cons:1. Whatever you are measuring, if it's below approximately 8 grams, it will not register a reading. However, this is not a really big issue for me. Since I bought it with this mind.Overall this is one of the most reasonably priced scales that can be used in an all purpose manner, built to last, easy touse and reasonably priced.I would recommend this to anyone...

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This item after a week gives me some good results on weighing packages. Ideal item for eBay sellers. It came with three batteries plus adapter. I am using with the batteries, more convenient. It was packaged in a tight cardboard box and that was good. No issues yet, I’ll see after a year and good price

Probably the best scale I’ve owned. Really helpful and hen shipping packages equal to or less than 50lbs. Very accurate. I compared it to the scale at our local post office and our local UPS Store, and it’s accurate down to the oz. Love the backlight feature. Also love the fact that you can lock the weight temporarily if the box is too big for you to see the weight. You can weigh, lock, remove the box, and read the weight. Highly recommended!

Handy sized scale for weighing just about anything under 1 foot in size. We use this for weighing horse feed and supplements. It will weigh in different increments such as grams, oz, lbs and oz which is convenient for feeds. Can be used with batteries or included cord.
