What is the max weight and is that reliable? I have a dig scale now that says it goes upt to 440, but always weighs me at 100 lbs less, but weighs others at coorect weight

Not sure about max weight, check with manufacturer. the scale has been accurate for the 120 - 180 lb range, have not had anyone in the 440 lb use the scale.

I have trouble going over 100. Dead on when it does weigh but if you're looking to weigh more than about that maybe consider something else

Mine was pretty well calibrated (within .02g for the 500g weight). It really depends on how accurate you want it to be. It is not "self calibrating". A set of calibration weights will help keep your scale as accurate as it can be.

According to the info that is on the Amazon site the limit is 440 pounds. I'm very pleased with my scale.

If you look at the face of the scale it says it weighs to 100g (grams). It is strange that it would calibrate at the far end of its range though rather than somewhere near the middle.

Mine weighs 13 lbs. I bought mine late 2013 just in case they changed material. It is not Something that you would want to carry for a long time. I don't know how everyone has a different weight? I balanced mine on my bathroom scale. The only time I carry item out, is when I take it out to set it up. Usually, there are more hands around if I'm setting it up, so carrying isn't an issue. Not for hiking.

Like most scales, this scale IS NOT accurate on carpet. I brought the scale out to a fairly low pile carpet and weighed myself. It said I weighed 78 pounds. I weigh almost twice that number.

It's always faster to measure than I am. But I'm using it to weight for postage. For a quick tap, I dont know and suspect you are looking at the wrong scale. It's meant for packages. Even if it read the quick tap and your software grabed only the max entry, not sure how accurate it would be. Do know that as you press on the scale, you can see the weight change on the PC. I'm using Shipworks. Hope that helps you out.

It's pretty accurate. You just have to be sure that it is on level ground. If it isn't, your weight will be different every single time.

copy this : weighmax 2822-75lb postal shipping scale calibration - into your google search window, & read the manufacture's PDF. You will also see a youtube link appear with your search results, & it covers calibration. I already posted some advice on what to use as a calibration weight ( if you need info on that ). Mine needed no calibration to begin with, & still has no calibration issues.

I had never used the hold feature. I tested it and it will actually hold a number by pushing the button. It was difficult to test as I was pulling the hook with one hand and holding the handle with the other and my wife pushed the button. I don't think it was accurate as the maximum pull weight as it didn't seem to save the highest pull. It only goes up to 44 lbs. You would need to create a handle system as the hook is too small and you have to maintain the max pull when you push the button. The scale works great and is accurate, the system may be difficult. The price is right.

The reason is greater accuracy. You may get (very small) differences in measurements by not using the weights correctly. For items under 100 you should use the 100 calibration weight; over 100 use the 200.

I do not have a very accurate light weighting scale, I used a regular scale the one you step onto and it weighed between 5- 6 pounds.I hope this helps you, I find it to be very light, just know that it is not a touch screen.

Hi Jack, The wife and I have found this scale to be extremely accurate... usually within a 10th of a pound... and it's been very consistent. We've had it about a year. If you're doing a weight loss program, especially if there is more than one weighing in, the tracking feature is really nice. You can see were you were during the last weigh-in and then compare to the present... very handy. After several lousy scales this is the only one that I would recommend

Although this scale is rated at 300lbs or higher, we use this scale strictly to weight packages under 100lbs. I personally wouldn't use this scale to weight people although it is probably possible to do so.

Hi. I already shipped the scale back to Amazon due to the defective digital display. From my recollection, the platform is very small, about 6 inch x 6 inch. Though the scale is rated to weigh items up to 75 lbs, I personally don't think its construction is sturdy enough to weigh large-size items. I hope that helps..

Hi Angela, The Tanita has been one of the most accurate scales I've ever owned. However, just like other scales I've had it doesn't like to be moved. The accuracy, although only off by a half pound or less, takes a day or two before it gets steady again. Haven't figured out why... just does so, I try not to move it.
