This is perfect for weighing my display cabinets before giving a shipping quote. It is so easy to use, right out of the box and it is extremely accurate. Some of my cabinets weigh over 50 lbs and this works very well with them also even though they are quite large. This purchase was surely one of the best values I've had here on Amazon.
This is an excellent scale and stylish all at the same time. At first I wasn't sure if this was an official Weighmax scale since it wasn't on their website at the time, so I contacted them. They reassured me it is manufactured by them but it is the newest model which has not been updated on their website so I ordered from Amazon. After checking 30 packages against the postal scale at the post office I can confirm this scale is accurate. It has all the features many complained not having in previous versions and I highly recommend.
UPDATE:
The first scale I received was simply a dud. It had a button that was installed improperly and it was not self-calibrated. Clearly a defect and should not have made it past their QC. The second scale is what I expected after reading the glowing reviews. As with anything with Amazon, returning and getting the replacement took three to four days and was fairly painless.
It feels like a quality scale, has a bright display, measures up to 90 lbs, and is from a name brand who supplies scales for commercial use and I believe to the USPS. The form factor is small. You can hold the measurement if you can't see the reader. As a person who primarily needs to weigh for shipping products I've sold and occasionally for personal use, I prefer the convenience of having the display integrated to the unit.
Top it all off it comes factory calibrated to a tolerance of within 0.1 oz yet has a capacity to 90 lb. Most units below $30 are to within 0.2 and do not look as attractive or compact.
Value per dollar, this scale looks tough to beat. Even longevity isn't a concern. It has a 10 year warranty.
I love this scale. It's very easy to use when shipping books, clothes etc that are sold online. I love the hold function which allows me to weigh an item, remove it off the scale, and still be able to see the final weight. This scale has made online sales and shipping transactions easier. I no longer have to go to the post office to weigh and then ship packages. I can do it all from home and just print the postage stamps.
I am very happy with this scale. I had been selling a lot of stuff on eBay and the kitchen scale I was using was simply not good enough if I had something big or heavy. I have this scale plugged in all the time, I have not used it on battery power. I do wish it would automatically shut off if it sits idle but I guess I just need to remember to shut it off when I'm done. It's been useful for other purposes since it measures such a high weight, and the hold function was a huge reason I got this scale. One thing to remember is to press the hold button and then place the item on the scale, and wait for it to beep before removing the item. The weight will stay displayed. At first I was reaching under the item and pressing hold and then it zeroed out after I removed the item. I thought it was broken but I just needed to read directions!!! You can also add or remove items to the scale after it beeps, and it will recalculate the new weight as long as you wait for the beep every time.

I've never had a scale this good and it can weight up to 90LB's that is allot! I was impressed by the tare button it allows you to put for example a cushion on in case you don't wanna scratch the top or put something else in place ... you press the tare button and it removes the weight of that item and only measures the item that is on top of the cushion or what ever is underneath the item!
I've been using it in the kitchen measuring out ingredients for recipes and it works perfectly and its handy if you need to ship something too most items that need to be shipped anyway are not normally over 100LB's
I highly recommend this scale honestly Simply An Amazing Buy!!!
Oh man, this thing is a game changer. I've had a small cheap not-digital scale but it only goes up to 16 oz. otherwise, I get on a regular scale once with the box, once without, then subtract lol ...don't judge. I use this to scale to weigh the apparel and accessories for my brand, Derivative Apparel, also available on Amazon :) If you sell on FBA, this is a 'must have' item. Arrived fast, easy to use, an works great! Thank you.

I looked at a few different scales online, and in person at local stores. The prices ranged from $15-$150, and the reviews on most of them were similar, with that meaning there were a few pros and cons at all prices. This scale was much cheaper at $22, and ended up being very well made and it works really well. It has a bit of weight to it and feels like a quality item. It is pretty simple to use, and the only negatives are that it sometimes takes a while to turn on, or that it takes a few readings to get an accurate weight. The scale is quite sensitive so it's best to get a few readings to be sure the weight is accurate.
I weighed a bunch of items I was selling, then took them to the post office to see how accurate the scale was, and was surprised that it was spot on. Again, I took multiple readings to be safe. I have since used this scale to weigh over 50 items I sold online, and printed my shipping labels off based on this scales results. So far nothing has been rejected or caused issues in the that regard. I am very pleased with this scale for the price, and I highly recommend it for online sellers on a budget.
Pretty good. Works fine so far, but gives inconsistent weights at times. Not for very fine weighing. I weighed a bracelet and it came up 12 grams, 14 grams and 16 grams, never the same weight each time. Frustrating. But it works fine for postal mailing, which is what I use it for. It doesn't have to be 100% precise down to the .01 oz for the USPO. I've had no problem when I take packages I've weighed on this scale and have them weighed at the Post Office. I use it for weighing packages of junk I sell on ebay. So far, so good, but I worry because some users say it stops working after a few months. I've had mine for about 2 months. I'll report back and revise my review if it stops working in less than a year.
If you must have exacting measurements, then you'll have to get the same scale the postal service uses. But for what I need, which is casual use for occasional mailings and auction sales, this is great.
It has a lot of features I find useful:
- small enough to fit on a desk without taking up too much space
- solid and heavy enough to provide stability
- big enough to provide a base for measuring small to medium packages
- ability to change the units of measure
- use either battery or wired power
- hold the readout for a second when you have a package that covers the display
- modify the operation to handle cooking measurements
- it was affordable
So far I've not had issues with accuracy. On occasion if a second measurement is different from the first I make sure I have the package centered and measure again. I may add an ounce just to be conservative, but after mailing several packages with pre-paid and printed mailing labels from sites like eBay, I've not had a single one come back due to inaccurate postage. For reference, most of the packages I send out between .5 to 3 pounds. The scale is rated for greater ranges of operation but that's all I've used it for so far.
