Five Star Reviews: | 64% but i'm very happy with it January 11, 2017 I've only had this product one day, but i'm very happy with it. I have tested its accuracy and that has checked out. The main thing though is value for price. At local retail outlets this product would be well over $60 dollars. The last scale i bought was $60+ and it too had a 10 year limited warranty. Somehow, the scale got wet. Not soaked, but wet. Anyhow I owned the thing for 6 months or less and i couldn't get a refund.This scale is bigger, has an open/close feature that would protect it from any accidental spills, and unless this thing craps out in the next couple of months, I find this to be of tremendous value. As I've said, i bought the cheapest .00 scale i could find and it was over $60. Even the analogue scales were $25 plus.No reason to pay more than $10 in the future. If it does start to perform poorly I will be back to let you know. Good quality scale & its accurate! Get a calibration weith though November 18, 2016 Seems to be acurate. It came calibrated. I did and u can calibrate with 20 us nickels as theyears way 5 grams each. My nickels though seem to all weigh differently at around 5 grams...4.99, 5.02, 5.03 are the commonly weights I see. I definitely recommend getting calibration weights as I'd like a certain 100% calibration. The only concern to this item that I can see as of now is that when weighing something.. it has to be dead center for the most accurate reading since it is so sensitive. Good good device Purchased this to weigh pennies and it works great! Nothing I found in local stores would go ... September 14, 2016 Purchased this to weigh pennies and it works great! Nothing I found in local stores would go below a gram measurement (milligrams) or give partial gram measurements, but this one will. Example gram measurements: 0.72, 2.56, 3.12. Great for reloading and avid shooters. Measures in grains. February 19, 2016 Great scale. I do a lot of different shooting with handguns, rifles and Air guns. In combination with weighing my ammunition in grains and use of a shooting chronograph I can figure out Bullet/Pellet energy at the muzzle. Nice that it comes with the calibration weight so you can calibrate at any time. Great Little Digital Scale! No Issues! July 5, 2015 Preface: Used for checking authenticity of coinsPro's:1) Small/Compact and easy to carry.2) Easy to configure3) Blacklight and battery life are excellent (have yet to change batteries ~ even 4 years later)4) 10 yr warranty5) Cheap ... In the sense of cost of entry.Con's:1) None that I can think of.Conclusion: Great little scale. I have yet to have a single problem. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend. Make sure you request the "God Camel" batteries. April 29, 2015 Scale is pretty good for the $$. Although, It came with genuine "God Camel" batteries (which were dead right out of the plastic) Now don't get me wrong, it's a great name, that probably originated in the Middle East somewhere, or something was lost in translation somewhere in China. I can only imagine the slogan for that company. "Buy our God camel batteries"! "They have 5 stomachs full of acid... enough to carry anyone through a desert of dead devices". Yes, this review has nothing to do with this scale, but I would say the best part about receiving it were the God Camel awful batteries. I laughed for 5 minutes, and another five when I put them in and they were dead. I was gonna give this 4 stars cause the batteries were dead, now I'm giving it 5... You're welcome. Ok... I'm done now... Wait, here's a pic . | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 15% As far as I can tell it is very accurate and it is definitely easy to use April 13, 2017 I use this to weigh out tea when brewing gongfu style. As far as I can tell it is very accurate and it is definitely easy to use. I wish that it had a slightly higher upper limit (this model tops out at 100g), but that's what you give up to get more precise measurements I suppose. Great tool for precise measurements September 28, 2016 Application:Weighing precise amounts of any itemsPros:CheapAccuratePreciseCame with the 100 g calibration weight (I believe this was extra, if so I highly recommend to purchase it with the scale)Cons:None as of yet and will update the review should I find any.Conclusion:Great tool for precise measurements Please read before using this to reload. July 30, 2016 I calibrated this scale 4x and the weight needed for reloading small caliber 9mm (3.1gr) is not accurate at all on this scale. I don't think the scale is really made for such small weight. The 100gram weight shows as 100 but when checking smaller weight like 1-5 gr the scale can be off by .2 not .02. This can cause injury for reloaders. If your not so worried about .2 off then it does exactly as described. Easy to use and set up. Nice small case. Still gave it a decent rating. Good enough June 17, 2016 I bought the model with the calibrating weight, and it works well enough, but it's a bit off. Immediately after calibrating to 100g it reads the weight as 99.98 or 99.99. Not a huge deal, but it's a little disappointing. I don't need to be precise down to .01 grams, and this was a cheap scale, so I'll give it four stars. Just keep in mind if you do need to be that precise you should probably spend more money. A good deal, even though the batteries it came with were dead. March 4, 2016 The scale itself is fine. I think it's a nice touch that the battery compartment has space for a spare set of batteries, so that if you fully load it, you don't need to go searching around for a replacement set when they run down. The incremental response is a pain when trying to accurately measure fine powders, as you can't gradually add them without it readjusting itself. But I was aware of that thanks to other reviews, and it's acceptable in a scale this cheap.My only real complaint is that the batteries it shipped with were dead. Rather disappointing, that. Fortunately I had some on hand.For the price, it's a quite good deal. But if I end up using it on a regular basis, I might shell out for a better model that doesn't have that incremental response. Compact, accurate and simple to use/calibrate October 5, 2015 A great little scale, which stays accurate thanks to the calibration weight. It is very easy to use. On;y reason it got 4 instead of 5 stars is that the batteries shipped with it (which had some odd & somewhat humorous brand name... that now escapes me) were DoA. I'd read from other reviewers that this had happened (though I cannot find those reviews any longer, which is strange) so I was prepared with my own batteries. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 6% What you pay is what you get September 9, 2017 After using the scale 3x this afternoon, I went to turn it on and calibrate it and the screen read "FULL". No combination of the 3 buttons would reset it and turn it back to normal. Looked online and there seems to be no fix for it besides to return it to the manufacturer if it's still under warranty.Other than that, it's been a great scale. It's been accurate insofar as I can tell, and runs great ... until all of a sudden it doesn't, and for no reason I can discern. Too bad this was an important measurement for me to take I'm my experiment, but thank goodness for Amazon 2-day ship. you buy a scale to be accurate. i cant ... August 10, 2017 you buy a scale to be accurate. i cant tell if the scale is off or the weight but its reading the weight .1 more then it should. seeing as im only measuring ginseng with it i will live, but someone who needs that accuracy consider spending more money for a nicer scale. One of the first things that happened is I spilled ... December 9, 2016 One of the first things that happened is I spilled a little bit of one part of a epoxy mix on it. I cleaned it up right away and it didn't appear any got where it should cause a problem, but this would never read the same weight twice in a row, and it would drift continuously if you would let it sit. If I thought the spill should have caused the problem, I wouldn't have rated it, but if I hadn't had the spill and it did that it would have gotten one star.Moral of the story (for me) do some tests with safe things before so you know one way or the other if the product had its own problems first. It weighs, but cannot tell if it is accurate. December 7, 2016 This scale is supposed to be accurate to .01g; I don't know if the 100g weight is off, or if the scale is off, but the reading is 100.10. Sure would be good to know which is incorrect. I'll have to get the weight verified before I'll have confidence in this. not ideal for when you're using minute measurements. E ... August 20, 2016 not ideal for when you're using minute measurements. E.g. trying to measure drops of eliquid, I'll sometimes be dropping one drop at a time and I can put in 0.3ml of liquid and all it does is flash up to 0.03g and back down to 0.00g. I'd wager it could just go on indefinitely doing this until a few grams are put on the scale.Also, it turns off after a mere 90 seconds of no use. So I can be preparing ingredients, lining things up, slowly adding and watching the scale go up, then bam, lights out. Recipe ruined. So you have to keep hitting the reset button while you're waiting to reset the 90 sec timer.Apart from that it can do the job at a low price. Durability is alright July 30, 2016 Great scale for precise measurement, durability is alright.First time I bought this scale, it lasted for about 6 months(Pretty decent for price) until a "FULL" sign appeared on the reading forever; obviously I assumed it was my fault and that i may have not been gentle with it.Second time around the scale only lasted about 2 months until the dreaded "FULL" sign appeared, except this time I actually took pre-cautions and never loaded more than 15 grams on it(says it has a maximum of 100 grams). Still it death reading appeared and I'm forced to throw it out.The lifetime of this may vary as I had one that i was careless with for about 6 months and one that I was careful with for 2 months. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 3% Not so good December 30, 2016 When I flipped the lid open on arrival the metal plate where you weigh stuff had moved out of place and there was very sticky adhesive everywhere.I managed to move it sort of back in place, but it is a little pitched to right and I can't seem to fix it. It sort of works, but not reliably. If I push tare it will sometimes zero out but if I put a small weight on it and take it off it doesn't go back to zero. Probably something to do with that plate not being correctly. Most of the time pushing tare does not get it back to zero either. Seems like a waste of money. It's ok if you don't need 100% accuracy. July 24, 2016 If you have a fan on or any kind of air flow, this will not weigh accurately. Leaving it open and unattended, it kept registering weights. The batteries get used up quickly and it will turn off every minute or two. If you don't need 100% accuracy and need a covered scale, it should work okay. Otherwise there are better options out there. You get what you pay for. November 15, 2015 I bought this scale to use for soap making (measuring sodium hydroxide) and, after using it twice it broke. (!) I'm not sure if it is just because it is a piece of crap or because I was trying to weigh items that were heavier than 100.00 grams.* Either way, I would not recommend this. Even for the $8-$10 price tag. Save your money and buy a beer. Or put it towards a better scale.*Don't even get me started on how stressful it is to measure super caustic materials, let alone having to do it in two parts. The whole point of buying a scale that measures to the .01 gram is to ensure accuracy so that you don't burn a hole in someone. Oy! Ugh, another one bites it... October 11, 2015 Worked for about two weeks before it died. You really do get what you pay for with these cheap-a$$ scales, and this was no exception. I thought if I steered clear of the cheapest one and went with a US made one I'd be in decent shape but no such luck. I used to own a store where we went through these quickly, so I'm very familiar with them. I just wish there was more QA and QC around the production process because they fail everytime. Wish I had a recommendation for an alternative for you. I also had a $600 one that died even though it was well-cared for, but at least that lasted for a year or so with heavy use. Expect what you inspect... August 19, 2015 Firstly, make sure you read thoroughly, I misread and purchased the wrong scale. I need mine to go up to pounds/thousands of grams. I sell fresh truffles, each truffle weighs about 100 grams so it would take forever to use this method to work inventory. Be that as it may, it was my mistake. The reason I'm giving this item 2 stars and not 4 or 5 is because I noticed the scale does not turn on unless you take the batteries out and put back in a number of times. There isn't any apparent rhyme or reason as to why (I made sure all electrical contact points were made before re-attempting to get it turned on). After I made that discovery, I tried returning it, only to learn Amazon would not let me return it, period. They wouldn't even ask why I wanted to return it. Caveat Emptor. Good until it broke May 7, 2015 I was very happy with this scale for a long time. It weighed everything perfectly and stayed true to calibration for long periods of time. After about 7 months of using it a few times a week and making sure to take very good care of it, I turned it on today and the weight was wildly inaccurate (it said that a 5 gram weight was nearly 20 grams). When attempting to calibrate it with the proper 100 gram weight, the screen said "o-ld." After looking this up on their website, I learned that means that the scale is permanently broken because it believes that I overloaded it. An overload voids the warranty so even though I did nothing wrong, I am stuck with a broken scale. Still 2 stars for months of working well. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 12% Ridiculous that it would just up and quit on me like this, not worth spending your money March 4, 2017 Bought in December, it's now barely March and the unit is displaying "FULL" (an error code not in the user manual) and won't do anything, or reset, even leaving overnight with the batteries out, nada. 2 months of very light use, never dropped and stored in the box it came with when not in use. Ridiculous that it would just up and quit on me like this, not worth spending your money. poor quality July 9, 2016 I had previously bought a version of this scale and liked it very much until it stopped working after a few years. Since it was inexpensive I decided to purchase it again. I need a scale that accurately measured to 1/10th gram for the various vitamins and supplements that I take. Unfortunately the new scale that I received was less reliable. There is a piece of plastic that sticks out on the bottom part of the scale so that it does not sit completely flat on a surface. I do not get consistent measurements with this. Also the batteries that were included did not work at all. It is basically going in the garbage. Spend a little extra and get a better scale. this thing is garbage... April 26, 2016 Was pretty excited to start using this once I got it. Quickly turned to disgust once I found out it was counting down by 3 10th of a gram every few seconds as I was measuring... I only noticed when I had hit the tare button and it read -.13, then -.36, -.67, -1.2.... etc... It did this every time. I tried to figure out was its issue was(maybe a stuck deck or bad wiring) . Everything seemed normal. it weighed correct as long as I was quick and got the weight on before it started counting down...Then came to find out I couldn't return it for some reason. Get a better scale, the money you save getting this isn't worth the chance on getting a good one. When I received the scale I unpacked it and put ... March 21, 2016 When I received the scale I unpacked it and put the batteries in and tried to turn it on, nothing. I figure cheap batteries are more than likely dead so I get new ones, still nothing. I figure its more effort then its worth to try and return it so I proceed to take it apart. Once disassembled I find the problem, the never soldered the wires from the batteries to the circuit board. Bottom line you get what you pay for so spend a little more and get something that actually arrives assembled properly. After I soldered the wires to the board it should be noted that it does work properly so there is that. Defective Power Button / No Returns policy December 30, 2015 Defective scale on first use.The AWS-100 scale I purchased here on Amazon is defective. I received the scale today. It's a nice size for me, and at first impression the scale appeared to work as advertised. However, the "On/Off" button does not work. The scale had an Auto-off feature which turns the scale off after 90 seconds of use. Since my power button does not work, the only way to turn the scale back on is by flipping it over and popping the batteries in and out (and praying). This is a TREMENDOUS hassle when you're trying to precisely measure out milligrams. The scale is also not the most accurate, it fluctuates approx +/- .015. This is fine for my purpose but it may cause issue for you.Bottom line: Don't buy this scale, spend a little more and get something slightly better quality. Save yourself the headache. You never get the same weight twice. March 24, 2015 You may as well save $10 and just guess the weight yourself. Even after calibrating, and letting a friend try, it don't read the same weight twice for the same item. Example; put a nickel on it which should be 5g.... Sometimes it will read as close as 5.6, take it off it reads -2.4.... Put it back on it reads 4.7.... Reset it/ zero it.. Yeah it will read 0... But measure the nickel again and it may read 3.6, or 7.2.....
