Anyone have experience using this scale? I'm leary because I can't find any reviews of it -

Hello, I know you are looking for reviews for someone besides the seller, but I use this scale myself for several things and really like it... when I had my coffee business, I used it to weigh packages to ship almost daily, and I've also used it for envelopes to see if it required one stamp or two. I use it daily now to measure the pounds of pressure when I tamp (pack) my coffee for making espresso. It's a very accurate scale, measuring in decimals, not rounding to the nearest whole #, so you can get a very accurate reading. Ive never had anything returned to me for insufficient postage so I can only assume that it is doing its job correctly :) Hope this helps. (p.s. it's lightweight but appears pretty durable and well-built. J-Scales is a reliable company that makes hundreds of different models. They're well-known in the food, shipping, coffee, medical, and tobacco industries for their products. Pretty reputable I'd say.

The only time I had this trouble was when I forgot & placed the scale on my rug. When I saw the inconsistent reading I remembered to place it on a hard surface. Then it worked fine. My Fiancé also use it & it is right on the money. If it keeps being like this, I would call the company & send it back. Sounds like you covered all the major areas so I feel that would be your next move.

The way it works is you open the app then step on the scale. If it turns off, just step off the back on while you have the app still open. I will tell you that I got one of these for Christmas and before January 10th, it had stopped working. I will also tell you that I'm 35 yrs old, 6ft tall and weigh 192lbs. That scale continuously told me I was obese. Even with it showing my accurate weight. It's not a very nice motivator.lol. I'm glad it died.

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

Yes! I love it! It can sometimes be off if you move it around so, just be consistent, you can't get a better scale for the price!

Sorry...I have no idea about that. If you google the scale number and model number, I'll bet you can download a PDF of the Owner's Manual.

I encountered the same problems while weighing my supplements and nootropics. I just try to keep pressing on every few seconds. If that doesn't work, I click the button that changes the unit of measure until it goes back to grams again. I also try to weigh my stuff quickly as the scale does tend to turn off after a while even while weighing something. As for the stuff sticking to the scale, I don't know. Maybe I need to get small wax paper?

My husband uses it moe frequently than I do and it seems to wait for him to settle. We use the talking mode. Basically we tap with one foot, the voice prompts "ok, ready " then there is time to step on slowly, a wait time of a few more seconds to settle, then a voice reading of current weight, and once off she says "good-bye"... I think it would be an excellent scale for someone slowed by age.

From my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you move the scale. You will always get the same result. It's been an excellent scale!

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

I think this scale would definitely be better. I have tested this and have moved and bounced and even my dogs have stepped on it while I'm on it and the scale is still accurate. The nice part about it is that the recorded weight will continue to display until after your husband steps off the scale so if he is unsteady or shaky, he'll still manage to read the scale after stepping off. This is honestly the best scale I have ever purchased.

I had that scale for a few weeks only. It never worked properly, I tried on different surfaces around the apartment. It would show different numbers every time I weighed myself and it went dead in about a month. It's not reliable, so you can't really trust what the scale shows.

It's been awhile since I bought it. I don't remember, but I can tell you I have not had any problems the scale. It has worked flawlessly and it's eztremely accurate.

The scale is pretty straight forward, is there a specific reason you are looking for the manual, do you have a question about the scale or its functionality?

Sorry, I can't give good opinion on this particular scale as mine arrived defective and I returned it. I have an older scale with tempered glass and have had no problems with it however it is glass so if you are knocking things about you might have to get an old fashioned metal scale.
