Review on πŸ” Accurate and Versatile GDEALER Food Scale: 0.001oz Precision for Cooking, Baking, and Coffee - Stainless Steel with Back-lit LCD Display - Pocket-Sized and Small - Silver by Tina Pagan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Inaccuracy, cheapness and a lot of misinformation about the necessary calibration weight

This scale is inaccurate and unusable. I've used it to formulate herbal remedies, mixing one strain with another for a balanced effect. I weighed 0.25 of a type of weed. Then I weighed the second weed and got 0.19. So I ground more and tried to get 0.06 to get the equivalent amount of the second herb. Despite the hundredths of a gram readings, these scales are not that accurate. I kept putting weed on the scale and it always read 0.00. I touched the scale with my finger to spin it, but it kept showing that about 0.2g of herbs (my guess) equals 0.00. These scales are not accurate enough to weigh 0.06g or anything like that. Even with an accuracy of tenths of a gram it will not work. It's garbage! Whether you're using it to prepare herbal medicines or weigh food, be prepared for unexpected results. Now I'm going to come back to the preparation of these compounds and use 1/4 teaspoon. This is not correct as weight is theoretically the best measure. In practice, it is best to use measuring spoons with these GDEALER scales. These scales are so depressingly inaccurate! I literally dropped the scale on the floor and crushed it with my foot in frustration. He was choking like a cockroach, the plastic is so cheap. You should not return this PoS. This is cheap Chinese junk that I was tricked into buying with the help of these fake reviews. Yes, most verified buyers work for GDEALER. This is the oldest trick in the book. Revain reviews are fully owned by the company. Other reviewers don't even know what accurate scales are. I used to have an Ohaus digital scale, which unfortunately got damaged due to the high humidity, causing the batteries to leak. These scales were accurate and could weigh small amounts. It was well done. It costs a few dollars more than that cheap PoS. If you decide to buy this cheap PoS, you need to be aware of one thing - YOU NEED a 100g calibration weight! They don't even know how to write a proper manual. I keep seeing 500g. Yes I bought the 500g weight based on the replies and comments. It is not true. Now I have to take care of the return. I'm wondering if anyone is misinforming people to make a sale? I'm not even sure if it's worth returning the weight. Pooh! Maybe save it to smash the scales when you're inevitably frustrated. Again, this leads me to believe that most of the reviews are scams. If you are planning to buy a calibration weight, please wait until you receive the scale. The weight is displayed on the screen during calibration. The company that makes this scale is so cheap that you won't find the answer to this question in their manual. I've searched all over the internet for this information. Just wait until you receive the scale before purchasing a calibration weight. I was so damn excited when I found out I was about to smash the scales. What a cheap company! They use the same manual for different scales, so the information is general. Better yet, don't buy this scale. Ohaus makes better scales than these. There are other companies that do it better. I only had two scales, but that's enough to know that this GDEALER scale isn't very good. I should have known better. GDEALER is the most sketchy name, and their products suck. Revain needs to look at these reviews. This is by no means a 4 1/2 star product. Something is fishy here.
