Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for use in the commercial kitchen or small office, the Royal EX-5 digital postal scale offers a number of useful functions in one sleek package. With a maximum weight of 5 pounds, this scale includes a fold-out stand to support oversize envelopes easily. The one-touch tare function allows users to reset the scale to weigh the contents of a bowl or package without including the weight of the container, a feature that can be especially handy in the kitchen. The hold button leaves the weight onscreen after the package has been removed, making the correct reading of weights for oversize packages particularly easy to manage. There are three weight modes on the EX-10--ounces only, pounds and ounces, or grams. Weights are measured in 0.1-ounce or 2-gram increments. Royal offers a one-year limited warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning!! Do not buy this product!, September 6, 2001

I bought this scale thinking that I would use it to send an occasional small package with stamps rather than having to go to the post office.I bought a 9v battery for it and after intalling it and testing it several times I realized that it wasn't going to work.When I took the scale apart I discovered that it was basically an electrical resistance meter and that the problem was an electronic one that I could not fix.So If you need a small postal scale I would recommend a mechanical one rather than this one.

I bought this scale primarily for weighing letters and small packages for my business. It did not work and I am disappointed. This failure has caused me many problems and inconveniences. DO NOT BUY!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch out--After battery change, error increased, August 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Royal Postal Scale (EX-5) (Office Product)

The ex5 worked well until I changed the battery. Then it did the worst possible thing: it acted like it was working correctly but gave readings that were off by 10%. It was too little error to notice right away but enough to cause mischief. It took me weeks to figure out what was going on. I hate to knock a product but also nobody else should suffer with this.
