Review on πŸ“¦ Accuteck W-8250-50B: All-in-One Black Digital Postal Scale (50 lb) with Adapter by Stephen Parkell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good accuracy in a small package

The scale works great right out of the box. Some connoisseurs may complain about its accuracy, but it's fairly accurate for a postal scale. I like that you can switch between the pound values. and ounces, grams and just ounces. The button closure on the side is great. When weighing a bag hanging over the display, simply press the hold button while the item is on the scale and the display will "hold" the reading for the appropriate time after you remove the bag. Very helpful! Two things to note: The dial size is surprisingly small and streamlined. (*See photo for relative scale.) I was expecting something much larger. In addition, the scale has a rubberized coating. It is a slightly tacky non-slip coating. Personally, I'm not crazy about him. Such a surface is difficult to clean, it attracts and holds dust and fluff. With age, these surfaces are sometimes prone to deterioration and flaking. There's no jury, but I'd prefer a hard plastic surface. I would love to give this scale 5 stars but the rubberized finish is 4 stars.

Pros
  • Improved large display with energy-saving LED backlight for reading numbers even in the dark;
Cons
  • Big and bulky
