Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsGood features, but not very accurate and auto-timer quirks
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020
I bought this mainly coz' the Acaia Lunar is $225 and this is $69. After setting the auto-timer feature, it doesn't work as well as the Lunar. Here are the problems:
1. Once in auto-timer mode, you need to touch the timer button for the countdown (unnecessary imo)
2. Once that is set, and the shot is happening, it does activate the timer and weigh function but when you remove the vessel/cup it does not stop the timer. The manual says if vessel/cup is removed, the timer should stop
3. Also, once the shot is finished in the Acaia Lunar the timer stops automatically, whereas this continues counting
So, overall not as polished as the Acaia Lunar. Since I'm using it with a Breville Bambino, it is a too large to fit nicely but that's not the scale's fault.
But you can see in my video, the weighing is not very accurate/sensitive. I keep putting beans on the scale, but it kept showing 0, but when I removed it, it shows -0.5g. This scale says it is accurate up to 0.1g but clearly not.
I suppose if you already have something on it like 10gm, then you start putting small 0.1g increment weights, it may work as intended. But overall, because of the bulkiness, and quirky auto-timer, I decided not to keep it.
