Will this scale show a reading of 0.001 or what is its lowest reading?

Yes it will, not very accurately though. But it goes from 0.001g to 20.000g. If you really need to be precise to the mg, I recommend spending more money.

It is simple, just put whatever you want to tare out on the scale and press the Z/T - On/Off button. The scale then shows 0.00 on the display, pronto!

Only if you have an item placed on the scale that is set to zero. As you remove that item the numbers go negative

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

I just step on it and it reads in a regular, digital display...I first thought maybe I had to activate it with my foot first and wait for it to go to zero, like previous digital scales...but this one just needs to be stepped onto like a regular scale... hope that helps

Hello.......It is a very nice scale, however, the minimum scale is .2 lb........Example: .2 - .4 - .6 - .8 - 1lb - 1.2 etc. etc. Hope that helps! Neil

With nothing on the scale, it should read "0.00" or just "0" If it isn't then with nothing on the scale touch the button that says "Tare." That will set it to "0." If that doesn't work then you may have a troubled scale. If you do have a troubled scale, it is an exception and not the rule. these are very good scales. You can do this if you place an empty container on the scale. The scale will show you how much that empty container weighs. Touch the Tare button and it will go to all 0s. Then you can add whatever it is you wish to weigh. Now if you remove the product and the container the scale will now show a negative number. Just hit "Tare" and it will go to 0s again.

To be honest I never bother calibrating mine, and things have turned out okay. I did realize that was kind of dumb so compared the known weight of an object (weighed on another, calibrated one) to the weight shown on my scale and it was close enough for my purposes (like off by 0.1 or 0.01 (can't remember if there's two points after the decimal or not)). Though you can always calibrate w a nickel or other coin w a known weight of course.

Hi Rafael----Scale gives the total weight and below that is the individual readout of the components. BUT the thing they don't tell you is that you have to moisten the bottoms of your feet before stepping on the scale so as to get correct contact with the silver step area ( the 4 circles you see in each corner) and therefore accurate info. While I like the scale, this is a real nuisance every morning. Sandy

Not sure what the measured value in lower right represents in normal operations. When I push the pc's button it mirrors the weight values but only in whole numbers while the main display is down to hundredths of a gram

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.

I have found it to be quite sensitive to minute changes but I don't use calibration weights. The smallest units are 0.05 (1/20th) ounce and 1 gram (30 grams ≈ 1oz). Considering that 1/8th tsp is roughly 1.125 grams, you have to decide if that's sensitive enough for your needs.

I have weight items as small as 0.2 grams but I dont know how accurate it is. I have also tested it and found it to be accurate from 1 gram to 50. Good product.

This scale reads to .01 grams. If you have something that weighs 3.7 grams exactly it will read 3.70. One thing to note is that scales of this sensitivity need calibration to be accurate. This scale can self calibrate if you have a 100g weight I believe.

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

I recently purchased this scale with the intention of weighing small packages to mail. I did test its weighing accuracy with another digital scale, & it was almost the same reading - within 1/10th on an ounce. You can choose the unit of weight. I only used it in lb:oz setting. It does have a fluid oz unit setting. You can weigh your container, then clear the on/tare weight to reset to '0', then add your foods into/onto your container. The display will show the item weight since your last clear. When you are finished, clear the weight, & remove your container from the scale. The total weight including your original container will display briefly. I wrote down the weight of the container, then subtract it from the total. Because I am using the scale to weigh packages, it is hard to see the screen underneath the larger package. Thats why I reset the weight to '0' then remove my package. If you are weighing smaller amounts where the screen is not obstructed, then the weight reading is the weight of the item(s) since the last clear. The scale is durable however, it is not sealed against spills getting underneath the sides. Another thing I have noticed. The scale will turn itself off after no activity in a few seconds. I cannot comment on its life expectancy. So far so good. Judy

I'm sorry, I have not experienced this. I have tried the scale on carpet and tile and I get the same reading. Have you tried moving the scale to different spots on the linoleum or hardwood floor and see if you get different readings? Myself, I would use the lowest reading and feel better about myself.
