Review on 📦 Acteck 86LBx0.1OZ Digital Shipping and Postal Scale with Batteries, USB Cable and AC Plug - Premium Gold Edition by Michael Cox

The Ackteck scale is great. I ordered this to replace an Ackteck scale of the same model that I have had for at least 6 years. My old one survived being knocked off my desk and hitting the floor many times before finally getting fed up and dying this year. In fact the damage was related to the cable connector on the back and not the part of the scale itself. I tried ordering another brand as a replacement but found it very inaccurate. This brought me back to Ackteck, which is where I would rather start because this scale model has served me very well and has proven to be accurate and reliable. Ackteck scales are small and compact. It has 3 ways to feed. You can use batteries (which are included), plug it into the wall (cable and adapter included - hooray!), or plug it into a USB port on your computer. I don't recommend connecting it to a computer as the power supply will fluctuate and you'll get strange results. Also, keep cell phones away as this will also interfere with the scale and make your numbers jump around. I keep mine plugged into the wall and have no problem with it. The great thing about this scale is that the top can be lifted to form an "L" shaped platform. This is extremely useful when trying to weigh a large or oddly shaped package that does not fit well on a flat platform. Ackteck provides consistent and accurate measurements whether the package is weighed flat or reverse side up. I've attached a few pictures to illustrate this. You can see that the weight readings are the same in both positions. The scale is very easy to use. It is very easy to reset the weight or switch between units. I have nothing bad to say about this scale. I was very happy with it and very glad they still make this model. When it comes time to replace my new scale in a few years, I will contact Ackteck for a replacement. Very good quality scales, very satisfied customer.
