Review on πŸ“¦ Accuteck 86 lb All-In-One Digital Shipping Postal Scale with Adapter - Silver (W-8260-86BS) by Michael Miner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great for small/light items, but tricky and sometimes inaccurate for large/heavy items

I wanted a scale so I could easily weigh items for shipping. There are some things I like about this scale and other things that need improvement. I like that the scale is light and easy to read. However, I have found that the scales are not always accurate, which is a big problem. It seems to lose its accuracy and calibration after weighing something heavy. However, it's nice to be able to recalibrate the scale after each use, it's just not that convenient. I also like that you have a battery or corded option, but batteries tend to run out and lose their power very quickly. The lid or flap (to increase the weighing surface) sometimes gets stuck and can be difficult to open - sometimes it feels like I'm pulling too hard. Also, the lid feels a little flimsy and I'm not sure how long it will last without cracking. increases. So it really depends on the approximate height and weight of what you are going to measure to see if this scale is right for you.
