Seems fairly accurate

Balance accuracy is hard to judge unless you have a set of calibrated standards which aren't here. If you don't have these, you are limited in relative accuracy compared to other scales or other measurement objects (e.g. using purified water and measuring volume). This seems relatively accurate. Accuracy is pretty good too. I know it's +/- a tenth of a gram, but we've weighed various things many times (including a fun science experiment with my daughter where we tried to guess which Minion character was in Kinder Eggs by putting them in the have weighed the store). and got very reliable figures. Any inconsistencies disappeared immediately after retarding. As I will be using it primarily for weighing bacterial media materials I don't need it to be more precise and I hope it will continue to serve this function for many years to come. (And for that price, I can buy a spare for another room we usually move things from.) What I particularly like is that there's room at the bottom for a 9 volt battery. This makes it particularly useful for (soft) field work. Accuracy and accuracy are probably good enough for on-site sampling, and portable power makes that aspect much easier to manage. A slight bevel on the edge of the bowl would have made it even better for field work, but it's pretty good at this price point. The packaging was good and seems to limit the possibility of damaging the balance you always like. see. It has a built-in spirit bladder for level detection, so at this price point it's of surprisingly high quality.

Pros
  • Laboratory balance
Cons
  • Damaged
