5.0 out of 5 stars Crushes the expensive scales!, February 8, 2006

I dabble in internet sales and wanted an inexpensive scale that simply weighs things! Easy wou would think? Not so much. I looked around and this is the way to go. Do you really need a scale that comnnects to the internet? That's what websites are for! There are scales out there for $100 that do the same thing. It weighs to the tenth of an ounce, is small and has a battery or AC adapter. Don't be a victim of Staples, Office Max/Depot!

I bought this to weigh kittens. It proved to be too small of a base for that, but it is good for its intended purpose - mail. If you weigh boxes, make sure the surface space will work for you. Easy to use.

Update: It broke after a few months, and now, I would not buy it again. :(

2.0 out of 5 stars Worked for 5 months!, October 10, 2007

This review is from: DigiWeigh DW-36XP Postal Scale (Electronics)

I purchased this scale new and it worked well for 5 months. All of a sudden, the only function that now works is the on/off switch. Now this scale will not register any weight,it remains at 0.00 pounds.

The scale has been well cared for and placed in a permanent place, it hasn't been moved or located near anything with a radio frequency....cell phone, etc. I know that these instruments can be delicate, and that is why I placed it carefully and where it wouldn't be disturbed.

The function buttons are crooked and sometimes require two pushes to get them to engage because they often stick (this was when my scale was working!). The window that shows the weight is small (for eyes over 40!!) and needs a backlight to help illuminate this area better.

The scale does come with an adapter (which I always used) and can also run on a 9V battery. The flip up top is handy for larger envelopes or tubes. Based upon my limited personal use together with the fact that this scale worked well for only 5 months, I would not recommend it for a business environment. In fact, I have difficulty recommending it at all.

I am an occasional seller on eBay and used this scale about twice a week. I have since purchased a My Weigh Ultra-Ship 35 lb. scale and am hoping for better luck -- so far, I've been most impressed by that scale's accuracy and sensitivity. I'll be even more impressed if it lasts! I miss the flip top of the DigiWeigh, it's convenient and you don't have to worry about storing extra attachments for weighing larger envelopes & tubes like you do with the UltraShip.
