I've been using this scale for a while now with good results. The things I like about it include the ability to remove the front piece to weigh over-sized objects and that it can handle up to 55 lbs with no problem. It has a relatively small footprint and is extremely easy to use. It also seems to be very accurate. I do wish that the auto shut-off timer were longer as I am forced to turn it back on multiple times during my shipping routine. Battery saving is good in theory but how much energy is wasted when one has to constantly re-boot the machine?

(By the way, this is the same scale as the Weighmax located at listing ID: B001EVS9HA - only with different custom/branded packaging.)

This is an excellent product and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It's not only a postal scale but food scale as well. Both work excellent. Also included with the purchase is an AC Adapter, so many others require you buy this separately.

This was a great buy in terms of a low price for a scale that can handle a lot of weight. However, some quirks that annoy me include:

1) the "hold" feature is nice in that a large box can be placed on the scale, you wait a few seconds, then remove it and the weight stays in the window for a while. However, it stays there way too long and the only way to reset it if you are in a hurry to weigh the next item is to turn the scale off and back on again. There should be a button to say "OK< I'm done now, let's move on", but there's not.

2) The accuracy is quite questionable. I ship out a lot of CDs through USPS, and sometimes the window will say "4.0 ounces" when in reality it may be 4.1 oz. Therefore, either my customer gets dinged with a "postage due" collection, or it comes back to me as postage due. I;ve learned to just round up whenever the window says X.0 ounces, just to be safe.

For the money though, there is value in this - particularly when shipping larger parcels.
