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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Accurate and compact, but not very practical

This is a good base scale for anything up to 50lbs. It's much more sensitive than I expected, and its readings are almost exactly the same as my local post office's scale. UPS also agrees to this. I use it to weigh packages when selling stuff online and it's just what I need. I like its compact size as most of the items I ship are fairly small and light (less than 20 pounds). The only downside is that the platform is too close to the reader: a medium-sized package covers both the weighing platform and the reader component. I've circumvented this problem by lifting large packages with a foam block so I can see the readings underneath. Of course, this means adding a step to the weighing process, so a star is lost for the inconvenience. Otherwise, I am very satisfied.

Pros
  • Smart Tare And Hold; With the battery-powered option, you can weigh packages anytime, anywhere; Also supplied with power pack
Cons
  • . There are new competitors
