Mixed feelings about it [Posted on 2008-04-17]
I also wish I'd read reviews before buying this. I also bought the blue one on ebay without knowing anything about it. I've had it for about a week now and I haven't run into the battery problems that other people have had. It recognizes the battery; the AC adapter works just fine.

It took me quite a while to figure out how to use it because the instructions are not detailed enough and assume that you have experience with scales. When you first turn it on, it has the weight set to kg and I wanted to change it to pounds and ounces. I kept hitting the mode button to reset it like it says in the instructions but nothing was happening. I got frustrated and pressed it really hard and heard a beep. Turns out you have to press the button until you hear a beep. It doesn't say this in the instructions so it never occurred to me that I wasn't pressing hard enough.

After getting through the learning curve on this thing, I then tried to weigh the same item 6 times to see how accurate the reading is. Of those 6 weighings, only 2 of them matched exactly. The other 4 were off by anything like .6 oz to 1.6 oz. I'm a novice so I don't know what to expect from scales. Is a 1.6 oz difference an acceptable tolerance level for any scale? I would like to think that the weight ought to be the same no matter how many times you weigh it.

Overall, if I'd read the reviews before purchasing it, I would have looked for something else. However, given that I paid very little for it on ebay and that I'm going to be weighing things only occasionally, it works for my needs.

Grea tPostage scale! [Posted on 2008-04-18]
I've put this scale to use testing it from small packages to large, and it works beautifully, and is accurate! I recommend this to anyone who ships small or large packages.

Superb Scale [Posted on 2008-05-20]
This is a great scale at a very affordable price. I have been using it for 2 months and it has always been accurate. I'm still using the original batteries and haven't even had to plug it in yet. I don't know why others have had problems. Mine worked perfectly right out of the box.

Works as advertised [Posted on 2008-05-29]
Works well, no problems. First item arrived broken, but there was evidence of rough treatment during shipping and delivery. Company replaced it without a problem and the replacement device works great.

Received the scale and couldn't believe how nice it is for the money I paid. It's a great product. Service was fast, too.
