5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scale for the price, August 5, 2008

I purchased this scale when my old manual one broke. After doing some research, I felt this one would be the best for my money and I wasn't wrong. If your looking for a good scale that you can move easily, work with a battery (which is included) or plug into the wall - I think you'll be happy with this one. The only thing is it doesn't register or "know" when much less than 4 ounces is on it. However; this isn't an issue for me, but felt it should be included for those that it may matter to. The digital readout is nice as you can mount it on the wall or move it out of the way with larger packages. Simple to set up and use.

I wanted a heavy duty scale that didn't cost a fortune, so I got this scale. It's not a space hog which is nice, and is accurate after performing a few weighing tests with it.

Pros:
- Relatively small but can weight up to 330 pounds.
- Display is not mounted on the scale so you can place large boxes and see what the weight is (that was the problem with my old scale).
- It displays pounds as 1.4 pounds (decimal format) as well as pounds and ounces (2 pounds, 2 ounces). It also displays weight in Kilograms
- Has a tare function
- The weighing area is large enough that a big box could be placed on it and the cable to the display is long enough that the display can be moved out of the way of big boxes.
- Came with a good warrenty


Cons:
- The back light in the LCD screen is a bright blue when the scale is weighing (when not weighing, it's the normal black on gray LCD color)
- When the scale is "off" the LCD displays the time. That's okay except for it will wear down the battery eventually.

Overall, great scale, glad I got it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Scale, June 30, 2008

I use this scale to weigh myself and it appears to be accurate and fairly consistent. It turns on faster than my old scale and using Mode pounds/ounces, shows only even ounces, e.g. 135 lbs 8 ounces but not 135 lbs 9 ounces. By shifting my weight some, I can sometimes get it to read (stable) 135 lbs 10 ounces. However, I normally would not stand in that fashion. As far as I can tell, this scale does not have the Hold function but does have Auto Off. The blue LCD readout digits are about 1/2 inch tall so I had to mount the remote display high enough to be readable. A metal mounting bracket and screws are included but didn't fit too well; shaving some of the plastic off the remote display allowed the mounting bracket to slide fully into place.

The manual lists this scale as model W-4820 with modes: 150 x 0.1 lb / 68 x 0.05 kg / 150 lb x 2 oz. My particular scale did not give consistently accurate results for objects that were less than 16 ounces. However, with 2 ounce resolution, I would use a different scale for these objects so it doesn't really matter to me. The scale came with a 10 year warranty card with a mailing address; WeighMax also has a web site that lists email/phone. They responded promptly when I had emailed them a question.
