3.0 out of 5 starseasy to use, not particularly consistent
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020
Received this scale today and immediately tested it. As I intend to use it in part for espresso and expect my coffee grounds to weigh 19 grams, I tested using 3 quarters and 1 penny. All shiny and new so they should weigh 19.510 grams. I set the scale on a solid table and made five consecutive weighings, turned the scale off, moved it, and repeated. After three sets of doing this I got the following weights: Set 1: 19.5; 19.5; 19.7; 19.8; 19.9 - Set 2: 19.8; 19.7; 19.7; 19.8; 19.7 - Set 3 19.6; 19.5; 19.8; 19.5.19.1. Note that only 5 of the 15 tries was right on and only one was low. The highest was 2% over. For my needs, while disappointed, I consider this marginally acceptable. A greater degree of repeatability would definitely be preferred, even over accuracy as far as I'm concerned if I knew which way to adjust the reading. As is, I will assume that the scale generally reads 1 or 2 grams high. Usually.
As an additional note, the base of the unit is warped and it does not sit flat on the table. I shimmed one corner by placing a dime under it. With or without the shim I get the same results when weighing items.
The rubberized surface is nice to look at and touch, but it does attract dust instantly. I do expect that it will be easy to keep clean in the kitchen environment.
I have not tried the timer yet.
