Ascher 200 gram Portable Digital Pocket Scale with Back-lit LCD Display 200x0.01 gram Black

Tidy little scales, seem to do the job perfectly. I will caveat that with i don't have calibration weights to make sure it's accurate. but from l what i can tell they do appear to be. tidy design and easily stored in a handy place in the kitchen. very easy to use straight out the box, I can't comment on battery life as i haven't had them long but perhaps I'll update down the line when i have more information on accuracy and battery life

First thing that wins full marks is that the order offers next day delivery. Second thing that wins full marks is the delivery itself which happened the next day. For some reason I just didn't expect that, even though it was promised! The third thing wad that batterids were included, meaning theoretically an impulse to buy an electronic gadget came one afternoon and arrived on my doorstep the following afternoon: amazing. Now I thought I was going to give the machine no marks because when I turned it on, nothing happened. I played with it for a bit but then at last I checked I had put the batteries in correctly as I always did. But I didn't this time! That was the only bad surprise with this product so I have to give myself 1 mark for trying. The final test was to check the consistency of the second decimal place. I weight a bottle lid (1.35 cm) then the bottle (87.77) and the bottle with the lid on (89.12) and the bottle take out again, and this time it was flickering between 1.35 and 1.36, unsure of its mind but seeming this time to prefer 1.36. I guess it's arguable that this was not perfection and I should have given 4 accuracy but I'm not comparing it to an abstract perfection but the often gross imperfections of previous machines have demonstrated, where the scale would never know stillness and always would be creeping up or down or up and down. Given that the weight of the bottle lid could have been near 1.355, i.e. the exact point between the two, therefore requiring a level of achievability to the next,u.e. third, decimal point, I give this one a pass and award five points in all catagories. If people brought it for a bowl of potatos they wasted their money. If the brought it to way spices or jewellery (and it worked.as well as mine did) they would have had a total bargain, an astonishing machine to buy at such a cheap price considering it's mesmerising accuracy. You need to try out a measure of 1.01g of flour or sugar to see how small the measyre is. Hint - the 0.01g is a hundred times smaller than the 1.00g.

It takes something above and beyond to get 5 stars from me. But to be fair, 4 stars seems overly harsh.It is no piece of precision lab equipment, but this tiny device for under a tenner does a pretty good job. I have not tried to evaluate its absolute accuracy. I bought it for mixing small batches of epoxy, so I really only care about proportions.It offers 2 decimal places of precision but realistically probably only the first digit is properly trustworthy.The first thing I did with it was to check its repeatability and linearity. I repeatedly weighed a series of small coins. Each time round the loop it gave a slightly lower reading, although it still gave distinguishably different values for each of the coins, and with multiple coins the reading was commensurate with the sums for them individually. I also noticed that for a single coin left on the scale the reading gradually dropped.This phenomenon was not exhibited when putting something heavier and softer on the scale (e.g. a pippete). I would conjecture that placing something hard like a coin maybe has more of a disturbing effect on the sensing element than something soft.I did not perceive any problems when mixing small batches of resin on it.The stage is big enough for the base of a big yoghurt pot, but not quite enough for the lid. I mention that because the pots that usually come with epoxy for mixing are big-yogurt-pot size.It is very small and light - not bombproof and I'm not sure how long it would last if carried round all day, but it does not strike me at all as flimsy or badly made.I would say it is extremely good value for money and would recommend if you are realistic about what it is.

Good to use for when you're cooking and baking foods.Unlock it , it gives out the right reading

Had mine for over a year and use it to measure very small quantities of yeast for pizza making. I do long ferments (3-4 days to develop flavour) so 500g of flour often needs less than 1g of dry yeast. These scales work well and whilst I can't check if they're spot on in terms of actual weight they are very consistent. If I take the yeast off (I use a very small stainless cup to hold it) and then replace it I get exactly the same weight to the 100th of a gram. Same if I switch it off and then back on.

Had this for like 6-7 years and still works as good as it did on its first day. A bargain!

Great little product; doesn't drain the battery, I'm still using the original one two years later! Small enough to fit into a kitchen drawer or your tool cupboard, even fit into your pocket for those occasions you need to weight a parcel on-the-go 😜.The display is bright, the back-light providing illumination when used in a darkened area, and still bright and contrasting enough to read in direct sunlight.The lid provides a convienent cheat-sheet, in case you forget what a particular option/setting does, and doesn't detract from its overall appearance.

Amendment to original reviewA friend of mine has a set of scales (he paid more than my scales), and there is a difference between his and mine. Example I weighed my ring firstly on my scales then on his. The readings differed on 4 pieces of gold/silver we tried. Whose are correct , I guess that’s the leading question !!!????The scales appear to work fine. They do however feel cheap so I hope they last, I’m sure they will
