Review on πŸŽ›οΈ Jennings CJ-4000 Weigh Scale - Compact Digital 4000g x 0.5g PCS JScale (Black) with AC Adapter by Maribel Gilbe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent scale after a rocky start

I initially gave it 1 star as every household item I measured that was supposed to be of a certain weight was about 20% off. I dug into the manual and it says I need a 4000 gram weight to calibrate. Great, so do I have to buy calibration weights just to make this device accurate? Luckily I came across a blog that suggested using the US Mint's website and getting cents, dimes, quarters and dollars because they are made to exacting standards. The scale has a lag but it was fairly accurate, say 1-2% not 20% for packaged goods (my mistake was that I didn't take into account the weight of the tare or package as the weight is on most products referenced content only). I've poured a coffee and it works great except for the annoying noise when a button is pressed. kilogram) measuring weight I would give 5 stars. For $28, this is a decent coffee scale, but I won't be using it to sell heirlooms.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Poor
