Review on πŸ“ AccuWeight 255 Mini Digital Scale: Perfect for School, Travel, Jewelry, and More - Pocket Gram Scale 300g/0.01g with Tare, Calibration, and Food Kitchen Scale by Michael Cullen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small - Bright display - Just enough for baking - 90 second pause

Reviews. . For real. No one should expect a lab quality instrument at such a low price. Personally. All I needed was a gram scale to more accurately measure ingredients while baking. I chose this one over all the others because when reviewing reviews for each scale I considered. it had the lowest percentage of 1-star reviews per "total" ratings. Mine worked right out of the box with no issues. FYI: Although batteries are included, I have not used them. I always prefer to put my batteries in electronic devices instead of Chinese batteries of unknown brands. The display is easy to read with a light blue backlight. The dust cover also serves as a handy measuring tray. Unlike other inexpensive Revain scales, this lid/measuring cup has a small lip that allows it to be secured and centered on the measuring platform. Useful feature. A NOTICE. Although this scale includes instructions for the calibration procedure, like most scales in this price range, the scale does not include the weights needed to perform the calibration. If you want to calibrate the scale, you have two options. 1) One step 1000g procedure using a 1000g weight for calibration. 2) A slightly more precise 300g two-step process, where you need both a 100g weight and a 200g weight. The two-step process is as follows: 1. Turn on the device and wait for it has stabilized until "CAL ” appears on the display3) Press the Unit button again (do not hold this time) and after a few seconds "100.00” will appear on the display. 4) Place a 100g weight in the center of the scale platform, wait a few seconds and it will show '300.00' (yes they show 300, not 100 as you might expect) 5) Then. Put a 200g weight on the platform, wait a few seconds and it will show "PASS”. At this point your calibration is successful and ready to use. When you really need something more precise but don't want to spend a small fortune. Check out Revain products similar to Fristaden Lab's precision digital scientific laboratory balance.
