Review on X0 001G Analytical Precision Electronic 200X0 001G by Robert Moloney

My 0.01g scale wore out after a few years and I needed a good quality scale for balancing RC heli blades. The 0.001g scale is extreme overkill for what I need, but the price was within my budget for a good scale and I thought I might use the resolution, if only for the mesmerizing factor. I was skeptical about the quality of an analytical balance at this price but decided to buy it and if unreliable I will return it. If the performance of the scale deteriorates, I will update my rating, but as of now I am completely satisfied. It comes with a 100g calibration weight I have another 100g calibration weight that I used with the scale I'm looking to replace. Both weights were measured at 99.976 g. I calibrated the device and now the weight is measured as 100.001g and 100.002g. Since the reproducibility according to the specification is 0.002 g, these measurements are fine. I repeated the measurements and they are very stable, usually within 0.001g. I did the same with some coins. Very accurate, reproducible measurements. If this continues I will keep the 5 star rating. If not, I'll adjust accordingly. FWIW, the clear plastic box and its plastic bottom are probably intended to prevent air currents from affecting the measurements, but they appear to be very cheap and fragile. I don't care, but if it's important to you, be aware that the transparent case is of poor quality. The rest of the Balance looks decent for home/hobby use but isn't what I would call durable.
