Has anyone used this scale while using a trickler? Does it update weight in grams fairly quickly?

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

Yes. It can calculate between grams, ounces, lbs., etc. (I think there's six different sets of measurements it can do). Just be careful though. Mine sort of went on the fritz after two months or so of using it, and now it will not "tare" itself. So it basically keeps telling me that I have -11.75 oz. Very strange.... Good luck! :)

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 have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

This scale is pretty consistent at measuring small weights. I took a 10g weight and weighed it 5 times (as per your question) and got the same result, 10g each time. This scale is quite sensitive though, a breath or even a draft of air can make it fluctuate and give an incorrect reading, it also needs to be on a flat, solid surface for optimum performance.

I received my scale with no problems, I even dropped the display and it still works! (I finally decided to hang it on the wall so I would not keep dropping it) But I don't see where I had to wet my feet and it still works fine with dry feet... I have another Fat Analyzer scale and they are within .01% of each other, so I think they are pretty accurate. Maybe you got a lemon one... mine only takes a few seconds.

The scale usually responds immediately, but sometimes it takes about 20 seconds. If your working with tiny weights, it helps if you put your finger on the scale and take it of; it seems to reset the scale. Remember this is not a $300 scale. I'm willing to put up with stuff for the price. I've checked it with some balance weights and it checks fine.

....not so far. I've had problems with mine and the company ignored my request for support. I went back to using a Lyman 1200 and a sliding scale to double check loads. Hope this helps.

I've had the same problem - mine fluctuates by around four pounds! I get off and get back on and it's a 4lb difference!

Pretty instant. I just weighed coffee beans this morning and every bean added changed the scale weight pretty fast.

I just got mine today and also a 500g calibration weight. My understanding from other blogs if your scale is a max 1000g then you need 1000g weight to calibrate it. What I did was use my 500g weight as a reference then got a 16.9 fl oz water bottle, opened it up and sucked out the water with a syringe until the number was the exact same as my calibration weight. Then used both the weight and water to re calibrate. Works just fine now.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

Hello, I am not thrilled with this scale. It does measure quick. It send the values to the PC via a USB cable, the software you are using has to be able to read the scale. My problem is that the scale seems to "drift" just from sitting and becomes inaccurate. Dymo has sent me 2 replacements already and they all do the same thing.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

It does indeed measure to the 1/100th reading (two decimal places). When adding or removing material being weighed, the scale automatically displays the new weight UNLESS the change is less than approximately .04 to .06 grams; when in this area, I tap the scale and it causes the recalculation. In my mind, this would mean the scales accuracy is only good to that point--the point where it automatically recalculates the weight, which on my scale is around .04 to .06 g. even though the display reads to the .01 grams.

Yes. This scale can be set to display weight as either grams and kilograms, or ounces and pounds. You only need to press the MODE option.

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.
